Dawn of the Year 3432 After the Thousand Years' War,
The lands of the Council of Seven,
Western areas of the Central Continent.
Hastar, a member of the internal police apparatus, approaches the village of Xizruthtlilu. He is tasked with discovering the reasons behind the disappearance of the previous provincial guard located in his destination.
After a long and tedious journey, he finally spots a symbol of the administration, or rather the domination, of the Council of Seven: A column with the likeness of one of the figures of power, the Fealoi, the appendage of the One Who Sees Everything. Its existence is proof of the conquest of this territory for and by the State.
Having passed by the pitifully looking buildings of Hastar, they finally stand above the dominant element of the landscape, which was accompanied by an apple tree that did not reach the stupas of the goddess. Tired from the long march, he decides to rest in its shade. Satisfied, he sat down and leaned against its bark, but just as he was about to close his eyes he heard a sound he had been deprived of for some time: birdsong.
Raising his eyes, he sees a canary flying towards him, trying to chirp pathetically, as if it lacked strength. These suspicions become reality when, behold, the winged stranger strikes straight at the apple tree under which Hastar is sitting. Hastar quickly grabbed the fallen man, wondering how it could have happened.
- Well, boy, as you can see we both fell down here like idiots - saying this he put his new companion next to him on the ground.
