(Meanwhile, on an unknown Mu family stronghold planet, Mu Fan)
After quitting life as an instructor at the Rodova Military Academy, Mu Fan returned to the Mu Clan's fold, resuming her duties as branch family head and the infamous assassin 'White Widow'.
However, in secret, she continued to be a member of the Cult of Ascension, with her very first act after coming back home being to make a call to the twelfth elder of the Evil Cult.
She knelt before an obsidian terminal shaped like an altar, behind which was a hidden communication mechanism that only she knew how to operate.
And after coming home, it was the place she used to establish contact, as she kneeled in front of the terminal, her assassin cloak draping across the polished black floor as glowing glyphs shimmered beneath her feet when she passed her mana through it.
Soon, the screen projected no face— only a dull crimson eye that flickered in and out of focus, as though watching her through layers of smoke.
