The Guardian’s Call

After hearing Fulminor out, I felt a strange sense of closure. My questions had ended, and I finally understood the depth of Fulminor's anger. It wasn't the sealing attempt that had enraged him, but the loss of his previous holder, Aiden. The bond they shared was profound, and the betrayal that led to Aiden's death left a scar on Fulminor's heart.

I tried to think of ways to convince the other guardians, but the night passed without clear answers. The next day seemed like it would be routine, but that illusion was shattered when Yumiko interrupted our class with urgent news.

"It's an emergency," she announced, her voice tense. My thoughts scattered, and I heard Fulminor...

It's not your fault, but it's just our fate. Accept it.

We hurried to the monitor room, where Yumiko explained the mission. "We're getting strong signals from an abandoned building. Likely, 10 to 12 wraiths are there. This building was once a shopping center, but it was our former HQ."
