章 1270: Face of Hope

Deign was an island that Skullius, as Bright Storm, had been given by Eaniss as his territory after becoming a Faction Leader. It was the same island that Timmit had called home, lording over a large Sacred Forest as its guardian, albeit one that had needed Skullius' help from time to time.

Skullius had never managed to forget his attachments to this island. Before he initiated the two-months-long training in the Timemould Mirror Box, he had dragged Deign into the Empyrean Bosom – along with hundreds of Clusters using a Blessing he had made through the Fallen Reincarnator's Shadow – and placed it over the Ju`wtte Transfiguration Pool.

The trio landed on the island. Skullius was pleased when he felt the grasses kissing his dark crimson greaves. Beyrmir and Elita had no feelings of attachment to this place, so they couldn't share this nostalgic feeling with him. But that was fine. They could appreciate the island a many other different ways.
