A woman with blood-red skin, tall and slender, and with a cascade of red hair, leapt off the back of a large gray bird. Her pupils were like two pure white gemstones, devoid of irises, hollow and eerie yet uniquely captivating.
"Your mission is complete... Leave now."
A few seconds after the gray bird flapped its wings and left, a light returned to its previously dim eyes. It let out a confused chirp, not understanding why it was here.
Outside the ruins.
The woman held a silver compass etched with intricate inscriptions in her hand. The compass had an ancient design, with a miniature galaxy swirling on it. The needle, shaped like a winged silver serpent, hovered without any reaction.
"It's not here either... There are three days left before departure."
The woman looked at the ruins thoughtfully, then quickly withdrew her gaze, not intending to explore the ruins.
Because this place is extremely dangerous...
