Morning came.
Aether woke up in an unknown room.
"You're finally awake."
A girl stood near the window.
Calm… but powerful.
"Who are you?"
She turned.
"My name is Lyra."
"I saved you."
Aether frowned.
"…Why?"
"Because," she said softly, "you're not the only one like this."
Silence.
"There are others?"
Lyra nodded.
"But they're not like you."
She stepped closer.
"You're different… Aether."
"Your power…"
"…is forbidden."
Aether looked at his hand.
"That symbol…"
Lyra's expression darkened.
"That's a seal."
"A limiter."
Aether's eyes widened slightly.
"…Limiter?"
"Yes."
"And if it breaks…"
She paused.
"…you might destroy everything."
