There was no ceremony.
No grand announcement.
Only three names appeared in the official records that day:
– Elias
– Myra
– Nero
And one internal memo, signed by Reed himself:
"New Three Pillars: take full responsibility for Gravemire's operations inside and out.
All strategic decisions from this day forward come from them."
On the surface, Gravemire looked the same.
But structurally—this was the first transfer of power in the city's history.
And beneath it, Reed, Rina, and Shia… prepared to step out.
A neutral area on the northern border, known as the Cracked Cliffs, had sent an urgent request for help:
villagers were disappearing, the land was barren, and there were signs of dimensional technology collapsing—a mysterious doorway to another world.
Normally, Reed would have led the charge himself.
This time, he closed the request with a single sentence:
"Send the Three Pillars. Don't send us."
Elias reread the diplomatic documents.
