A Crystal Pendant lay quietly in the box, emanating a soft glow.
The shape of the pendant resembled a curled-up kitten, lifelike and endearing.
As I picked it up, a warm current surged through my body, an indescribable comfort enveloping me.
At the same time, a scene flashed in my mind: a bustling commercial district, throngs of people jostling against one another.
I walked alone amidst the crowd, striving to avoid the crush of bodies, like a fish swimming upstream.
Suddenly, my Prophetic Eye caught a glimpse of an unusual energy fluctuation, sending a shiver down my spine.
It was a flickering point of light, appearing and disappearing among the masses, like a cunning firefly.
It was not the vision I had anticipated from my Prophetic Eye; rather, it was a peculiar magical energy that took me by surprise.
I felt curious yet slightly fearful, like a child standing at the entrance of a candy store, eager to go in but afraid of being scolded.
"Su Wan, be careful!"
Sera's voice rang in my ears, tinged with urgency, piercing through my inner calm like a sharp needle.
"That point of light is an embodiment of magical energy."
"In the eyes of ordinary people, it is invisible."
Magic?
A jolt ran through me as if struck by lightning.
Could it be that magic truly exists in this world?
"Yes."
Sera seemed to see through my thoughts, her tone certain and undeniable.
"In this city, magic and technology coexist, like twin brothers, loving yet fighting against each other."
"Only the magic users hide themselves well; few know of their existence, like a group of ghosts lurking in the shadows."
I felt incredulous yet vaguely excited, like a child who had discovered a treasure, wanting to hoard it all for myself while also yearning to share it with others.
I had always longed to explore the unknown world, and the emergence of magic undoubtedly opened a new door for me, leading to a realm filled with wonder and adventure.
At that moment, an elegant woman appeared before me, as if she had descended from the heavens.
She wore a flowing white robe, exuding an air of nobility, as if she had stepped out of a painting, making it hard to look directly at her.
"Hello, Su Wan."
Her voice was gentle and magnetic, carrying a hint of mystery, like an ancient melody lingering in my ears.
"My name is Elisa, and I am the Priestess of the Destiny Watcher."
Destiny Watcher?
My mind was filled with questions, like a traveler lost in a forest, yearning to find the way home.
"I know you possess special abilities," Elisa continued, her gaze deep and penetrating, as if she could see into my soul and uncover all my secrets.
"We have been searching for someone like you, like seeking a lost pearl."
"Join us, Su Wan."
"Join us in the fight against the impending darkness, to protect the peace of this world."
Darkness?
A tightness gripped my heart, as if an invisible hand was choking my throat, making it hard to breathe.
Could this be the prophecy of the city's destruction that I had seen before?
"What did you see?"
Elisa asked, her tone laced with concern, like a kind elder worried for my safety.
I hesitated for a moment but ultimately decided to share the prophecy with her, like a penitent sinner confessing to a priest.
After hearing my words, Elisa's expression turned grave, like a dark cloud obscuring the sunlight in the sky.
"It seems the Dark Pact's conspiracy has already begun."
"We need to stop them quickly; otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Dark Pact?
