The Central Asian Trading Territory.
A swarm of Flying Beasts that blotted out the sky streaked into the territory, their immense presence so powerful it shook the soul of any who witnessed it.
On a wide plain below, King Chonghou stared grimly at the most extravagant Exotic Beast in the center of the formation, his eyes filled with a cold light.
"Marquis King, the welcoming ceremony has been prepared…"
An attendant said with a bow.
"Let the music play!"
Soon, at a conductor's signal, a powerful and majestic symphony resounded through the air.
A moment later, the enormous Exotic Beast slowly folded its wings and glided down to a prepared landing site.
At the same time, a group of barefoot Wizards began a bizarre, sacrificial dance.
At the end of each section of the dance, a slave was executed. The blood was then channeled to the Wizards' feet, and as they stomped, it formed into characters that pulsed with an eerie light.
