"Your highness, it's about time," a man wearing a black robe said to the emperor of the Arendelle empire.
"Failure is not an option, Kilian. We must succeed", The emperor stated this while displaying resolve in his gaze.
All around the continent, Emperor Francis Stewart was renowned for his fierce might. The man in the black robe momentarily staggered but immediately returned to his composer. He had never seen his emperor so distressed before.
"Who would have thought that there was another continent out there and that they had been observing us all along?" The emperor thought with a sigh, "It's just a matter of time before they invade these regions!"

North Star mountain forest
At the location, the emperors of the five races assemble for the 'summoning of the warriors' ceremony. The terrible ties between the empires make even the meeting of two emperors a rare occurrence, but these are desperate times. The emperors were aware that cooperation was required.
the ancient architecture infront of them is one of the marvellous things they have ever seen. the round platform is literally flying without any support.Black granite stone was used to construct the entire structure. Around the periphery, there are numerous inscriptions. A white pillar is located in the centre. there are 5 stone made podiums attached to it. Whoever constructed this amazing architecture is unknown. They believe God himself created it.
"My brother saints, place the summoning rings on the stones", the man in the black robes told his fellow five companions.
one after another every five of them placed a ring on their respective stones and began enchantment. The spherical platform started to glow in various hues.
The emperors desperately wanted the success of this summoning event. The call had apparently been successful, but it had been a long time ago, according to certain antiquated records. No subsequent generation was able to call the heroes.
"Prepare the summoning array", another man in black robes remarked in a strained voice.
They were all simultaneously enchanted. The platform was entirely lit in a circular pattern. The five distinct colours stood in for the five affinities of the elements. The light began to grow, then dwindled slowly.

"Did we fail again," remarked one of the emperors as he turned to face the square shaped stone, which suggests that "heroes can be called upon when people most need them."
"Retain the array!" Wet with sweat, one of the saints commanded, "Do not let it crumble."
Five coloured lights began to fade. When they considered their failure, the emperors grew desperate. They desired dominance for their kingdom, but there was also an external threat that they needed to be aware of.
and then.....
From the platform, a white mist began to emerge and cover it. On the platform, everything becomes invisible. The men in black robes became anxious. It was the first time they had ever witnessed this phenomenon taking place, despite having previously called forth magical beast spirits and even elemental warrior spirits.
"What's going on?" With their perspective obscured, the emperors were undoubtedly startled
"Have we succeeded?" The white mist astounded the saints, who were all transfixed.
They hoped they would be successful despite not knowing what was going on. There is no room for failure. They were aware of their emperors' desperation.
"successss! the summoning was a success. God didn't forsake us!" the emperor of the arendelle empire said joyously.
Unexpectedly, a beam of white light fell on the platform from the sky. The pillar of light is visible for hundreds of km. The earth began to shake. The ground started to crack. Due to the violent earthquake, the guards erect mana shields around their respective emperors.
Ten humanoid shapes were left as the light started to fade and eventually entirely disappeared. All of the people's terror turned to delight. They were well aware that those figures were the legendary warriors.
"finally!" One of the emperors exclaimed, "We succeed."

Elire Forest
"Honey!", A woman in her mid-thirties gasped in disbelief, "There's a boy!"
On the ground of the woodland was a boy who was unresponsive. He obviously has a wound because his dress is covered with scarlet blood. Next to the young child is a book with a black-violet cover.
The woman and her husband were on their way to the forest when she noticed someone lying in the bushes.
"What!", the man in his early forties exclaimed in response to his wife's assertion.
Their town located in the North-East of the Arendelle Empire and is bordered by the unending ocean on one side and the Elire Forest on the other. They don't experience border conflicts because they live far away from it, so their surprise at seeing a body on the ground was understandable. They can infer that this has something to do with the woodland in front of them.
The man in his forties added, "I think he's been attacked by some beasts in the forest."
"How can this little boy wandering in these forests alone.", the woman in her mid-thirties asked in a dejected manner.
She can tell from the boy's body that he is not even 15 years old. She feels depressed every time she sees the face, which is innocent and delicate.
"oh gosh! He's alive," the woman replied after looking at the body.
The youngster was breathing, albeit slowly, and they discovered after careful inspection that the blood on his clothes was not his blood.
The woman pondered to herself ,'If I can't feel any mana signature from his core, how is he still alive?'
Everyone in this world, unless they were already deceased, has a unique mana signature. Although there were many High-ranking warriors who could subdue them using force or other means, it doesn't appear that this is the case for this young boy.
"Honey!", The woman added, "We can't just leave him here."
Although they didn't know the young boy, leaving him on the edge of the forest would be cruel. They had no idea how long he had been there, and low-ranking carnivorous animals were constantly prowling the region.
"Yes", the man replied, "we should take him home."
After picking up the youngster, the man headed in the direction of their home. The woman was still there, standing and studying the book. The book's layout was quite attractive. There is a violet-colored flame on the black covers. There are some writings as well.
"Strange, I can't even tell what language it is", she exclaimed. She has some knowledge of other racial languages despite the fact that she lives in a rural.
The woman thought, "I think this book can help him find his parents," and she headed in that direction of her house.
