The silence of night had deepened.

Dark clouds loomed over the sky, and the air was filled with an eerie stillness. Renjiro made his way toward an old abandoned room on campus—one that hadn't been opened in years. He wasn't alone. Arthur walked beside him, his steps slightly hesitant, his eyes hiding something unspoken.

"Renjiro," Arthur said quietly, "this place never used to feel so cold. Something's... changed."

Renjiro didn't reply. His gaze scanned the surroundings, sharp and calculated. The door creaked open slowly, revealing a room filled with forgotten memories and dust-laden silence.

"There's something here," Arthur whispered. "I can feel it… some energy, waking up."

Suddenly, the old pictures on the walls began to shift. The floor trembled beneath their feet. A small book fell right in front of Renjiro. As he picked it up, a faint symbol glowed on the cover—The Seal of Watchers.

Arthur's eyes widened.

"This… This is the same symbol I saw in my dream!"

"You saw it too?" Renjiro asked, surprised.

"I was afraid. So I never spoke about it…"

Renjiro opened the book. As he flipped the first page, a strange light emerged, glowing through the room. The ground beneath them pulsed with a living presence.

And then—a shadow appeared.

"You've wandered too far," the shadow spoke.

"The fate of the Watchers reflects in your eyes. But are you ready to carry its weight?"

Arthur instinctively stepped back, but Renjiro stepped forward.

"If this is a piece of our past, then we won't leave without understanding it."

The shadow smirked faintly—almost in approval—before vanishing into the air.

The light faded. The silence returned.

Renjiro and Arthur left the room without another word, but something had changed within them.

This was only the beginning.
