On the other side of the mountain range separating human territory from beast territory...
Inside an ancient palace whose magnificence had not diminished with time, but instead had only grown greater, a woman sat upon a throne.
The hall was mostly empty, with only her presence seated on the throne in a relaxed position, eyes closed, showing almost no sign of movement, enough to make an outside observer wonder whether the woman was even alive.
She remained like that for an unknown amount of time, undisturbed, for no one dared enter her territory.
But today, something changed.
The woman's eyebrows furrowed for a moment before her eyes, a mix of violet and dark blue, opened, her gaze shifting toward a specific direction.
Her stare stayed fixed for a couple of seconds before those eyes flashed, as though she'd caught onto something.
She rose from her throne at once, as if whatever she'd detected had completely captured her interest.
