Not long ago, in the Grove of Epiphany the Whispering Woods Forest, Hyacinthia began to tell Hyacine the legend of Senios, the hero of the "Sky" clan:

" The Titan waged war for a thousand years, leaving the world ravaged."

"A century of Golden War left the states in chaos and exhaustion."

"Until, a spear, brimming with the wrath of mortals... pierced through the smoke and flames that buried the World-Saving Prophecy."

" Aegle, who sculpts celestial phenomena, holding thunder in his hand, a hundred-eyed divine bird bearing the sun on its forehead..."

"Though Nikador blinded ninety-nine of his eyes, he left only one, glaring angrily at his descendants who received his blessings but turned against him."

" The Chrysos Heirs of the Sky," the Knight of Dawn's Thunder Senios, ascended the forbidden land of the Eye of Dawn and Dusk and Dusk at dusk, adorned with wings.

To her left is Sorabis, the Lion-headed " Wings of the Blazing Sun," whose roar inhales and exhales scorching divine fire.

"To her right is the horse ' Plume of Stars and Moon ' Lunabis, its hooves kicking up a shower of stars as it spins."

"One man and two beasts challenge the ruler of the sky, vowing to seize the Core Flame of the gods."

"Every roar of the Titan was accompanied by a thunderbolt, and every lean of the Titan stirred up a hurricane."

"The blood of the Titan' wounds... fell upon the world as a boiling rain of blood, converging into a scalding torrent."

In the final moments of the battle, " Wings of the Blazing Sun " ignited the Titan's wings, and " Plume of Stars and Moon " sealed the Titan's divine body...

"That sky hero, with broken wings and covered in wounds, struggled to raise his spear... and pierced through that last, terrifying giant eye."

" The Titan's divine body crashed to the ground. At the same time, the heavens were torn apart as if ripping silk, and the sky was about to fall along with the god."

"The fear and pleas of mortals caused the heroes of the sky to rise once more."

"The ' Knight of Dawn's Thunder ' Senios, the first Chrysos Heirs to slay a god in the world, charged straight into Aegle's crumbling body along with two valiant winged beast companions."

She merged with the Titan, once again supporting the heavens, leaving behind only a stirring message for the world—

"My descendants will eventually receive the blessing, stepping onto the Rainbow Bridge to ascend back to the heavens... at the end of the Creation Prophecy, they will bring back this Core Flame from my hands."

" Phainon, please be sure to return safely!"

"Down with the indifferent Eye of Dawn and Dusk, and restore a sky of benevolence to Amphoreus!"

The citizens said in unison, and all rushed to " Dawncloud Cliff " to see Xing and the others off.

Thank you all for your well wishes! Please rest assured, we have made thorough preparations.

"However, I am not the main character today. When Miss Hyacine arrives later—please don't hesitate to offer your encouragement."

The citizens nodded. "Miss Hyacine, the chosen daughter of the sky... the pride of the Duskglow Courtyard!"

"She is also the pride of Okhema, and indeed of all Amphoreus. Furthermore..."

Phainon then changed the subject, "Although the Journey of Flame-Chase is led by the Chrysos Heirs, those chosen by Aglaea are by no means the only ones who have contributed to it."

"And let us also express our gratitude to these two brave men from a foreign land—for strangers like us, they were willing to step forward and brave fire and water!"

Phainon channeled the citizens' enthusiasm into the " Trailblaze " teams.

"Heroes! Your stories will be written into epics and sung by all in the new world."

"A foreign warrior imbued with the power of Oronyx, a pioneer to World-Saving!"

" Aha ~ I feel kind of embarrassed..." March 7th scratched his head.

Xing looked at Phainon, "You're already handling this situation with ease."

"Ha... we've known each other for a while now, you should be able to tell when I'm being polite and when I'm speaking from the heart."

"That last sentence was my heartfelt praise, Xing," Phainon said earnestly.

"If I hadn't listened to my instincts and trusted you back then, I don't know what Okhema would be like now..."

"... Ah, here comes today's other main character."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hyacine, carrying the hopes of her ancestors, walked up to Phainon and turned to the citizens, saying:

"Fellow citizens of Okhema —I have received the blessing of the ancestors of the Sky Clan."

"They are willing to entrust me with a mission spanning thousands of years, and I will go to retrieve the Core Flame of Aegle."

"It is now the year 4932 of the Light Calendar, the 1062nd year since the hero Senios embarked on her Journey of Flame-Chase."

"I, Hyacinthia of the Sky Clan, am ready to lead the Son of Man back to the skies."

After he finished speaking, the citizens cheered and applauded again.

History never breathes evenly. Sometimes it holds its breath for a thousand years, as if time has stood still; other times it gasps for air, as if it might overturn the world and civilization in an instant.

"Its rapid breathing stirred up a storm, engulfing us all. Hyacine, you witnessed the return of the four Core Flame as an observer..."

"Now, it's your turn to fulfill your mission." Phainon looked at Hyacine. "This time, please lead us deep into the eye of the storm as a firsthand witness."

The group continued their ascent to the highest point of " Dawncloud Cliff," during which Hyacine quietly apologized:

"Sorry to keep you all waiting!"

Xing waved her hand, "It's alright, everyone sleeps in sometimes~"

"Hey! Are you so sure that Hyacine is just going to stay in bed?" March 7th rolled her eyes.

Dan Heng didn't care about any of that, "The team to subdue Aegle —is finally complete."

"Time and again, we are rewriting the history of a world with our own hands. I think this experience of ' Trailblaze '... should be enough to make Akivili envious."

"Hey, Teacher Dan Heng, be bold! Let's make ' Eternity ' look at us with new respect and bow down in submission!"

"What a wonderful adventure! This ' Trailblaze ' is about to come to a successful conclusion... mmm!"

March 7th hurriedly covered his mouth, "Hey hey hey~ Don't make promises before the battle!"

"Heh... you're all full of energy. Looks like I picked a good day."

" Hyacine, the rest is up to you."

Hyacine nodded. "Legend has it that the Child of the Sky were once divided into many tribes."

"The ' People of the Sun ' who believe in the blazing sun, the ' People of the Rain ' who worship thunder and rain, and the ' People of the Winter ' who see snow as an omen..."

"Our ancestors lived under the light of Aegle, yet their eyes could only see one color."

"But they forgot—that glimmer of light illuminating the world is composed of a harmonious blend of many colors."

"Therefore, the rainbow is my favorite weather phenomenon—it not only refracts many colors, but also carries the symbolism of a bridge."

"I want to connect people's hearts with the rainbow cup... to convey hope to all souls in the world."

Hyacine took out the treasure box, "Please use the rainbow as a guide and lead me back to the homeland of the Child of the Sky, which they have been away from for a thousand years."
