"Yeah, let me just brush my teeth, and I\'ll be out in a minute," Jade replied, already moving to prepare.

As she passed by V, who stirred awake with a groggy expression, V asked, "Where are we going today?"

"You aren\'t coming, at least for right now. Go ahead and sleep some more, or try to learn how to read, whichever is easier for you," Jade said half-jokingly, a light-hearted attempt to ease into the morning\'s urgency. Before leaving, Jade\'s gaze lingered on the calendar, noting a date circled with a dot.

"Wow, just two more weeks and Ash should be returning," she thought, a mix of anticipation and resolve settling in. This was her moment to prove that the faith placed in her was not misplaced.

Clenching her fist with renewed determination, Jade opened the door, turning back to the Director. "Sorry, Sir, didn\'t mean to keep you waiting," she apologized, stepping into the role expected of her.

The Director, ever pragmatic, brushed off the delay. "Yeah, we\'re still set to make it on time, so it\'s a nonissue," he assured

They spent the next thirty minutes retracing the path that Gojaro had taken Jade, leading them to the hidden elevator. Descending into the underground\'s warmth, they navigated through corridors where red lines laced the rocks, arriving at the familiar door they had encountered before.

"It\'s nice to not be on the wrong end of this ritual, to be honest," Jade remarked, a bead of sweat tracing her brow from the underground heat.

The Director, unamused by her attempt to lighten the mood, responded, "I don\'t understand. It\'s an honor to take part in the ritual."

"True," Jade conceded, "but getting stabbed without knowing it and literally meeting the embodiment of what I think is death… not so fun."

"And your point is?" the Director pressed, his tone suggesting that he found little value in her concerns.

Jade sighed, realizing her attempt at humor was lost on him. "Never mind. I was just saying it\'s nice that I\'m not getting stabbed, is all."

"Ah, well, I guess it\'s always a good day when you aren\'t getting stabbed, I suppose," the Director acquiesced, albeit grudgingly. "Please stand by to the side with the clerics as they do their stuff. And no, I won\'t explain how they do what they do. You don\'t rate that information yet."

Jade nodded, accepting her role in the proceedings as they opened the door. Inside, to her surprise, everyone was already gathered, and she couldn\'t help but marvel at the crystal\'s beauty. For a split second, the crystal seemed familiar, reminiscent of the small one the crow had dropped. Shaking off the fleeting thought, she moved to stand where directed, ready to observe the ritual

Moments later, an intense heat began to fill the room as the door swung open, the same one they had just walked through. The Director stood elsewhere in the room, while the Crystal floated carefully at the center.

A man with a deep scar down his right eye and long black hair, adorned with a white scarf around his neck, entered, accompanied by a frail boy with blue hair trailing behind him.

Jade observed, thinking, "He can\'t be older than 16 years old. I thought they only brought adults into this, though I guess it\'s not all too surprising. I wonder if the tall guy is like his mentor or something."

Taking a deep breath, Jade closed her eyes, slowly reopening them as the inside of her pupils burned with a faint white glow. Indicators began to flare all around the room, particularly around the giant crystal itself.

The man with the scar gave a bow to the Director as he stated, "I have brought the boy from the Southern Region who was indicated by the Oracle."

The Director gave him a slight nod and inquired, "Has he undergone the physical training to ensure his body will be able to endure everything?"

The man nodded and affirmed, "He is stronger than his mere frame leads on."

As Jade watched on, they had the boy place his hand on the Crystal, just as she had done. He began to shake and convulse from touching the Crystal as it started to shine in an assortment of colors.

Just then, Jade\'s smaller crystal in her pocket began to heat up. She quickly pulled it out, grasping it in her hands as it shined bright pink, almost attempting to tether a connection to the bigger crystal.

Jade closed her eyes again, focusing on the crystal, implanting her own energy into it as visions began to flood in. She saw a man—or rather, a creature, Jade thought—holding the same crystal she was, witnessing the memory embedded within.

Images of someone drawing the crystal from a sun flashed before her, pouring some type of energy into it. The figure then addressed a woman, asking, "This should be good enough to aid her, right?"

In response, she heard, "It should, at the very least, be worth a shot. Just hope the Angelics don\'t catch wind or try to intercept it."

The man in her vision put a finger under his chin and stated, "So what if they do? At this point, there is much more riding on this than I care to let go. Besides, most of these issues are their fault anyways."

"As the vision slowly faded, she witnessed him opening a portal before dropping the crystal into its depths.
