Prologue: Preparations
Immediately after the Divine War ended—that is, a thousand years before the modern era which Rio lived in and somewhere in eastern Strahl, a woman with extremely elegant features stood alone in an uninhabited wasteland. She looked frail enough to be blown away by a gust of wind, and appeared to be no older than twenty.
“This should be the spot.” She looked around the area with certainty.
She seemed to have come to the uninhabited wasteland with a clear purpose, but she didn’t appear to be a traveler of sorts. She was wearing a casual dress, as though she was out on a stroll through the neighborhood. She didn’t have any belongings on her.
“Ugh...”
The woman staggered, mouth twisting in pain. She had a hand pressed down against her abdomen, and her face was as pale as a ghost. She looked like she was in so much agony that she could faint at any moment.
But the woman clenched her teeth and mustered all her strength. She had something she had to do first.
I’m sorry. There’s no time. He’s going to die before I can copy everything over. I have to leave everything to you, one thousand years in the future.
Those were the words she had uttered just before coming here. She had said them to Aishia, the humanoid spirit girl who would travel with Rio in the future.
The woman—Lina—would do everything she could to prepare for the future to come in one thousand years. Even if she had lost her power to see into the future, even if the otherworld powers had placed her in a state of certain death...
I will use the little of my remaining lifespan to do everything I can.
Lina looked up at the blue sky over her head with renewed determination.
My battle begins here...
Despite her awareness of how little time she had left, Lina beamed with satisfaction, then lowered her gaze to the land she stood on.
It was the spot where the Galarc Castle would stand in the future.
