The rain tapped gently against the glass windows of the Ryūun estate. Inside, little Kiyomi, the 3-year-old daughter of Liora and Ryuu, stirred in her sleep. Though young, the hybrid child's dreams were not normal—they were echoes of something far beyond her age… or this world.
That night, her dream began like a song of stars. She floated in a field of light, surrounded by cosmic fragments and shifting glyphs. Her small hands reached out to a glowing orb in the sky.
Suddenly, it cracked.
A shadowy figure emerged, cloaked in the same energy Azephon had once described to Kael. The entity stared directly at her—despite it being a dream.
"You're not ready yet," the voice said in a tone that bent time itself.
Kiyomi stumbled back. "W-What are you?"
"The one your bloodline was made to stop."
The dream shattered like glass, and Kiyomi awoke—eyes glowing, body floating slightly above her bed before gently dropping down. Liora rushed in, having sensed the burst of hybrid energy.
"Kiyomi," she whispered, cradling her. "You saw it, didn't you?"
The child nodded. "The bad thing… the thing coming."
Liora's eyes narrowed. This confirmed her deepest fears—the threat from space had already started reaching into their world, through the dreams of a child not yet old enough to fight… but destined to.
