News From Elina - Part 1

"Something's not right..."

Perched on one of the branches of the World Tree, Astra frowned, her wary gaze fixed on the distant horizon.

She slowly closed her eyes, and a faint green glow began to radiate from her body.

Moments later, her eyes snapped open—her face had turned pale.

"My connection to the Fated One... it's gone!?"

Her heart pounded as she sprang to her feet.

Just moments ago, she had felt her bond with Leon begin to fade. At first, she thought it was just her imagination.

But after checking again, she realized the truth—it wasn't an illusion. The connection had truly vanished.

"Did something happen to the Fated One?" she whispered, a chill creeping up her spine.

The contract linking her to Leon was no ordinary pact. No matter how far apart they were, she could always sense his condition.
