The noon sun shone through the skylight of the hall, illuminating the interior of the building.
The ancient and luxurious architecture immediately became bright.
The lingering scent of decay was swept away.
Even the slight damage was shielded by the sunlight.
What remained was only solemnity and reverence—
Marinda knelt on one knee right in the center of the sunlight, while the Female Swordmaster approached from a distance, holding a gold tray.
On the tray were a seal, a badge, and a flag.
The seal was engraved with "Glyphic Language," using Marinda's own "Spirituality" as a primer, thereby acquiring a unique trait.
The badge was that of the Star of the Dark Night, where the rich black represented night, and the bright point represented the stars. According to legend, it was the morning star where the 'Lady of the Long Night' resided.
The flag matched the badge, only it was several times larger.
With these items in hand, the Female Swordmaster stood before Marinda.
