The bridge group creator tells the young man that the place where they are staying is a school. He suggests that they go to a different place to rest before they set out for the palace. He tells the boy that thousands of years before, there was a festival called "sparkle festival" that marked the end of the year for the five foreign clans. The festival was so important that the emperor of the time called it the "largest national fiesta" of the first century AD. The snow king has said that all the foreign clans have the same magic power, but only the fire clan has the ability to create chaos. The fire clan can cast a mirror in gold, but once the mirror shatters, its magic is gone. The phantom clan, on the other hand, can transform water into ice, or create illusions. The flame clan can transform fire into other forms. The ghost clan can create illusions by casting a mirror into gold. However, once a mirror is broken, it is gone forever. The spirit clan is the only one that can create chaos because it is the best way to do so. The emperor will treat all clans equally, he says. He is grateful that he chose the emperor because he would treat the spirit clan as equal. He says that fate has hurt him so deeply, yet he still treats it with a "kind heart." The emperor is about to tell the story of his family's death.
