As Ace walks back to his room, he saw Hansel waiting at the corridor.
Hansel has a serious look.
"Hansel, is something wrong?" Ace asked.
"Oh, you're finally back" Hansel replied.
Ace noticed that he is holding the book in his hand.
"Isn't that the old book that you found at the old boat back then?" Said Ace.
"You wouldn't believe what this book holds" said Hansel.
Hansel showed the book to Ace.
Ace was surprised on what he read.
"What is all this..?" Ace asked.
"I'm not so sure myself. Now take a look at the name of the author" said Hansel.
Ace looked at the back of the book, and there he saw a name he would never forget.
"Juniper Draglone.." Ace.
"I don't know how this is possible, but there is a slight chance that she may be alive.. I think.." said Hansel.
"No.. way..." said Ace.
Ace remembered their battle with Fafnir back then, which led to Juniper being killed.
Ace: The author of this unknown book is Juniper. And the contents of the book is.... what happened back then, and what will happen in the future...
What caught Ace's attention was that at page 67, a battle between 2 of the same coin will occur sooner or later at the 3rd city of Trisphode.
"What does that mean...?" Ace asked.
"I don't know either, but we can say that a huge battle will occur in this very city" Hansel answered.
Ace closed the book and he gave it back to Hansel.
"Only one way to find out" said Ace as he closed the door.
Hansel head onto his room as well.
And in the shadows, an unknown creature is watching them.

The next day...
Ace founds himself in a mountainside, and there, the sky was pitch black.
"You'll see nothing but tge color of black up there" said a woman who's seating in a throne chair.
"Who are you..? Where am I?" Ace asked.
"Too many questions" she replied.
She stood up and walks toward Ace.
Ace sensed a strong aura from her.... a dreadful aura, that is..
Ace tries to activate his ability, but nothing happened.
Ace: My ability.... is gone..?!
"It's not gone, they just left" she said.
Ace was surprised that she read his mind.
"What do you mean they left..?" Ace asked.
She stopped in front of Ace, and looked down on him.
Ace: S-She's tall..
She stared at Ace for a bit.
"If you want to know the truth, then come back after the big event" she said.
"What do yo--"
Before Ace finished what he was about to say, she kissed him.
***
A large explosion happened near the building they were at..
Ace suddenly woke up.
"A dream..?" Ace.
Hansel opened the door.
"Ace! There's an emergency!" Said Hansel.
"What is it?!" Ace replied.
"A monster appeared here in the city" said Hansel.
Ace quickly got up and head outside.
And there he saw the very same monster he saw back then.
"I remembered that monster..." said Ace.
But this time, the monster is 10 times bigger than last time.
