The sky over Vacuo's ruins is a sickly, bruised purple, faintly illuminated by the ghostly glow of Grimm pools seeping up from the cracked earth. On the ashen beachhead, the island nation's battalions disembark in grim silence, their boots crunching on a mixture of charred debris and bone. You stand among them, your gaze fixed on the horizon where Salem's hybrid sentinels patrol. A figure in torn and weathered military gear steps from the gloom, their eyes holding a glint of something dark and knowing. "you," they murmur, the sound almost lost beneath the desolate wind, "you feel it too, don't you? That slow, heavy pulse beneath the ground. They're waiting for us."
