While the hero and his party dealt with the chaos in Eclanor, the only living scout of the army, Lumine Moon, lies on a table in front of Mono. Her eyes were covered with a blindfold, and something kept pricking her in the back. Although she couldn't see and had her stomach against cold metal, the feeling of the queen trimming what little part of her feathers that had remained attached to the body was quite obvious.

Using a scalpel, she made an incision to extract the fickle bone that was once attached to the wings from the rest of Lumine's body. Thankfully, without only a few cuts, the cartilage let loose–leaving for a well-pressed flesh wound through which she could inject the metallic replacement.
