Chapter 6
Loutereve's Dawn
In a climactic confrontation, Farius unleashes his full potential against the darkness. Loutereve is saved, and Farius, embracing his destiny, stands as its guardian.
The air in the Grand Plaza crackled, not with the usual festive energy of Loutereve's heart, but with a suffocating dread.
