At last, many clues had come together, and many things finally had an explanation.
Though there were still unresolved mysteries, Yu Sheng could now piece together more than eighty percent of the truth--
A thousand years ago, an unknown Dark Angel had appeared in the Feather Star Domain in the form of a "Crystal Meteorite."
