Age 1-1

Lance
The Bladesmen are on a mission. Scarlet, Azure, Olive (Shenji), and Ivory. The four of them intend to stop a child trafficking that surfaced in Azayaka. On the island they near the location and stop for the night to camp.

Shenji has grown fond of Lance, who is the only one who is willing to listen to his stories. Shenji is a crazed man with stories of gods and chaos. When people insult what he thinks is the truth he always goes off in a rage and usually people die. But when Lance does it he doesn't mind. He will show Lance one day. Lance will learn.

During the night Shenji wakes up from a nightmare. He looks over to see Lance awakening too. Like a crazy gremlin he grabs Lances hand and starts to guide him through the forest. It gets darker and darker. Then, the abyss surrounds them. Lance still thinks he is dreaming until a figure appears and a force starts choking him. The air collapsing around his neck.

It is Somnium. And then he greets Shenji who has not seen this hooded man in over 20 years. Lance is awestruck as Somnium starts to talk. He offers up knowledge to Shenji and then turns his attention to Lance. Lance is given the proposition of becoming the Champion of Somnium. An honor only gained by those with souls nearly matching the Master in the Shadow Dimension. Soon Somnium will find the perfect match. It was not Drayon, and it was not Zade. Perhaps it is Lance.

Lance agrees after seeing Alpha Sprite that Somnium claims he will need to make in order to bring back his master. When Somnium leaves, Lance breaks. He kills Shenji and goes to warn his team. Thus, the Bladesmen embark on the journey to stop Somnium, and to stop the Alpha Sprite from forming. If it were to happen Yatan would be destroyed.
