The Golden Lion Empire was still mourning the sudden death of Emperor Raghar. To this day the Imperial Family had not disclosed the identity of his killer.
The people remained curious about the emperor's abrupt demise. Noble households were frantically digging for any scrap of information that might identify the culprit.
Despite the chaos, commerce in the capital thrived; every market area bustled with activity.
Suddenly the citizens noticed a giant Silver Eagle descending from the sky, and panic spread at once.
"H-Hey, look up! There's something huge coming toward the city!" someone shouted in full panic, pointing at the massive Silver Eagle.
"That's a Silver Eagle! An SSS-rank monster!"
"Run! It's coming this way! Save your lives!"
People scattered like frightened rabbits as the entire capital gripped with alarm at the looming threat.
The Imperial Guards sprang into action, and the strongest warriors from the noble households rushed to gather around the palace.
