Half a year later.
Golden Stone City, Central Square.
Night had long fallen, but the area was brighter than day. A giant glowing screen, fully thirty meters wide, was broadcasting a film titled *The Battle of Golden Stone*. On screen, a handsome actor playing Prince William wielded a longsword shining with the brilliance of Spirit Art, engaged in a bloody battle with a terrifying, CGI-rendered Heart Eater.
"For Aiselan!"
Accompanied by the actor's hoarse, exhausted roar, a dazzling pillar of light descended from the sky, turning hundreds of Heart Eaters into ash. In the square, thousands of citizens erupted into thunderous cheers.
