The sun shone brightly high in the sky, raining down its warm light upon the world.
Inside the Moon Forest, the tree leaves rustled slightly as the cool breeze flowed, giving the organisms of the forest relief from the hot, sunny day.
On a certain tree deep within the Moon Forest, a person lay motionless. His hands and legs were swollen to the point it looked as if they might burst apart at any moment.
Even the muscles in other parts of his body appeared severely swollen, clearly indicating that he had pushed his body far beyond its limits.
Suddenly, the low ringing sound of metal clashing against metal echoed through the silent forest.
The moment the sound resonated, the person who had been lying quietly shot up into a sitting position.
Fallen Star appeared in Azrael's hand, and with his still-blurry vision, he glanced down from the tree to see what had triggered the alarm he had set up.
