"Damn, we almost got wiped out."
Water God caught his breath, sat up from the ground, and cursed under his breath.
He looked around and suddenly brightened.
"Hey, that's right! What did those guys drop?"
He scrambled to his feet and made to rush toward the place where Mirian had disappeared.

Season Star's icy voice stopped him.
"The energy just underwent Annihilation, and the spatial structure is still unstable. Besides... don't you find it strange?"

He didn't take it. He merely gazed at it in silence.
Then he bowed slightly toward the direction in which the silver cup had vanished.
