The divine radiance of the portal dwindles into nothing as four figures step through into the clamor of the human world. Their enchanted armor ripples and dissolves, reforming into the ordinary fabric of school uniforms—a seamless disguise. Concealed beside a brick wall, they watch the tide of students spill into the afternoon. Then, a girl arcs over the high fence, her landing so fluid it seems as though the seconds stretch to accommodate her. A subtle, otherworldly light glimmers in her eyes. The spectral form of Ec’naad flickers intensely, feeling the distinct, powerful thrum of the Brilyante ng Panahon. As one, the guardians turn, their gazes locking onto the unaware girl who has just become the fulcrum of their fate.
