Thunder rumbled across the skies of Dawnhold Province in the Holy Sun Empire as a violent storm swept over the imperial city. Rain lashed against the towering buildings while cold winds howled through the streets like restless spirits.
At one corner of the city stood an abandoned castle.
Its silver architecture still reflected faint flashes of lightning despite the years of neglect. Tall spires pierced into the stormy heavens, while elegant towers and marble halls spoke of a time when the place had once belonged to a flourishing and prestigious clan.
Now, however, the castle stood empty and deserted in the middle of the city, completely untouched by humans.
The Moon Clan that once occupied it had long since disappeared after its downfall nearly a decade ago. Dust, weeds, and silence had become the only residents remaining within its walls; even thieves did not try to barge inside, fearing they might be caught by the church and misunderstood as members of the moon clan.
