Still recovering from the sealing, Kael received a message directly from LIGA's Core:
"Simultaneous anomalies detected.
Four eras. Four locations.
Origin: Arkana Code."
Kael already knew what it meant.
The fragments of the entity had touched time…
and left scars.

LIGA didn't fully grasp the scale of what had occurred.
To them, it was merely a series of unusual disruptions.
But to Kael, these were echoes of the very darkness he had just faced.
The coordinates were transmitted:
Era 1: Year 1447 B.C. – Ancient Egypt, valley of the forgotten hieroglyphs.
Era 2: Year 612 A.D. – Visigothic Kingdom, Iberian Peninsula.
Era 3: Year 2027 – City of Neo Osaka, advanced surveillance zone.
Era 4: Year 4142 – Tau 9 orbital colony, Black Moon sector.
Kael would have to visit each one.
Observe.
And discover what — or who — had been touched by the fragments.

But before anything else…
he heard a voice.
A sentence from nowhere, in Arkana's voice:
— They will look like you.
But they are not.
They are the Shadows.
And not all will be hostile.
