On a starry night in the quiet suburbs of Tycho City, the streets were peaceful as his brown eyes gazed at the stars above, the street lights just outside of his bedroom window. Then as Ryzen prepared for bed he had a sudden urge to sit on top of the roof, close his eyes and listen to music.
As he was just about to go on top of the roof, a sudden pulse shook the house as he turned around and rushed to the window to see what that was as he exclaimed:
"What was that?!".
As a white light pulsed nearby catching his eye. Then another pulse occurs, as it swiftly streaked across the city as Ryzen suddenly gets a sharp pain in his head, he holds his head and gets this weird fractured vision.
A vision of a white glowing light that's pulsing from an object, that kind of looks like rock somewhere in a park that seems near his house. Then as he snaps out of that vision, his eyes widen realizing that the vision he had was at a park nearby. Without a second thought, he grabbed his hoodie and sprinted outside through the suburbs into a park, Morinomi park.
As his heart pounded out of fear and confusion, the distant wailing of police sirens grew louder as he got closer to the vision's location in the park. Then another pulse occurred, but this time streaking yellow. Then as he approaches the visions location, another white pulse streaked in the distance in front of him nearly blinding him.
Then as he continued to walk toward the light as he covered his eyes, Ryzen stumbled forward into a massive crater in the park. In the center of the crater was a strange white glowing shard, pulsating in front of him with an otherworldly light. Before he could process what he was seeing, another pulse occurred from the opposite side of the park, the impact of the pulse nearly blew him off his feet. As the yellow light illuminated the treetops.
Then Ryzen exclaims "What the heck is going on!?" frozen in shock. As the sound of the police grew louder, panic set in. Acting on impulse, Ryzen scrambled down into the crater, grabbed the glowing crystal, and bolted out back out of the crater, into the park.
Then he dove into a nearby bush, as his heart started racing he exclaimed "What the heck is going on?!", as watches the cops investigate the scene from a distance, he continued to hold the crystal in his hand. Then bushes started rustling behind him. He spun around quickly, as he accidentally dropped the crystal, only to see a raccoon scurrying through it.
He sighs in relief and says "Phew, almost gave me a heart attack." Then he turned and caught his breath. Then the crystal started glowing brightly. As curious and cautious Ryzen was, he slowly leaned closer towards the bush and saw that the radiant crystal started to levitate off the ground.
Then he started to hesitate, but then managed to reach out and grab it quickly before it gave away his position but the moment his finger touched the crystal, it began flowing with ethereal power. Then the crystal's glow intensified and started turning into energy while slowly separating from the crystal, leaving it black and lifeless. The energy from the crystal shot forward and pierced into Ryzen's body.
He grunts as his body convulses with ethereal energy and starts to levitate off the ground as his body absorbs the energy. Then he starts to see fractured visions of 4 other crystals and an entity, a very terrifying being with ominous power, taking over a spiritual ether realm from wraiths.
Then the energy pulses from within Ryzen's body, leaving him unconscious. Darkness shifted around him. As he floated weightless in his mind, adrift in a realm of shifting shadows and with a pale flickering light. A ghostly mist orbited around him, filled with whispers he couldn't quite make out.
Then he felt a strong ethereal presence as figures in the void moved at the edge of vision memories, perhaps glimpses of the future or warnings. In this void, time meant nothing. Then voice echoed through the realm of the void as he landed smoothly , like a distant echo in a museum.
"Ryzen… you must find them. He's coming." The voice exclaimed.
Then Ryzen says "Who are you?!" as the voice replies:
"I am Konoke, the spiritual guardian of the Phantom crystal, Calistria. You must prove you are worthy of my power, In order to wield my divine celestial power of Calistria."
Ryzen replies "Celestial Power?! Like… Cosmic powers?" he exclaimed.
Then Ryzen staggered backwards, as his heart pounded.
He exclaims "What is this place? Am I… dead?"
Then the crystal pulsed as an entity appeared behind him.
Then Konoke replies "Not quite."
Then Ryzen gets startled and shouts "Ahh!" as he quickly turned around.
Then the entity says "This is the space between your mind and your reality, where a fragment of your soul exists here drawn by the moment you've touched the crystal." The crystal's voice lingered in his mind, layered with timeworn wisdom and fear.
Then he replies "Ohh, So you're saying this place is like telepathically linked to my soul?"Konoke replies "Yes, and you must find them before he arrives." Then Ryzen stared at the Luminara crystal, as its glow started pulsing slowly like an alarm. Then his eyes shifted with a new and unusual appearance, as he looked at his reflection from a fragment shard behind the crystal.
His eyes were white with a smoke trailing from his eyes, with a ghostly crystal patterned white pupil. Then as he staggered to his feet, clutching his head as a surge of energy streaked in his head. The whispers from the void hadn't faded but they lingered, echoing faintly inside his mind, threading themselves into his thoughts.
As his vision regained, the world around him seemed to split. Throughout the void, he saw the room as it was: dim, dark, otherworldly. However, he saw outlines of spectral figures drifting, ethereal symbols that etched in the air, and threads of light binding unseen forces together that can't be seen with his regular eyes. The change left him trembling. What do they mean? Find who? and who is coming???
