In the Elysiumis Aurora Empire, a woman knelt silently before a rusted spear that appeared to be stabbed into the earth.
Even to the naked eye, it looked as though the spear had pierced the ground, yet its tip did not touch the earth at all. It hovered just above the surface, completely suspended in the air.
Nothing about the weapon suggested that it still possessed any power, yet the air around it suddenly trembled. A golden pulse spread outward from the spear, and the woman's golden eyes immediately flung open as the weapon began to vibrate, as though something buried within it had finally awakened after an eternity of silence.
GGNNNGGGG!!
The vibration deepened into a metallic resonance that seemed to pass through the very air.
Fss~Fss~Fss~Fss~
A sequence of golden waves radiated from the spear, growing brighter with every pulse until the rusted surface suddenly fractured like brittle glass.
Ssshhhh~
