Occidens: Month of the West, Day 29.

—The Sentro Region. 

Carst Forest, to the north off Blackwing city. One of the most dangerous places in the entire region, a place whose outer region was yet to be completely explored due to the high concentration of dangerous monsters and magical beasts.

In the core region of this forest, encircled by dense foliage and lush vegetation, a substantial rectangular structure emerge from the undergrowth. It was substantial, yet almost prehistoric, yet strangely contemporary, and was entirely constructed of metal lined with Duranium.

And deep within this strange building, as the clamor from the Magic lights filtered dimly illuminated one of the largest private rooms, the hand working on a chemical compound changing colors on a glass beaker, paused, and a pair of ears pricked up.

There was the sound of fighting, people running, and some screams mixed in.
