Darkstar Blank Period

The Darkstar Blank Period follows the Merrow Rivenlight Arc and Tob and the Soul Beasts Arc. The Blank Period follows Darkstar as they continue their vigilante operations in Croft, and the training of their members for when they invade the Capita.

Giant Spider Extermination

A spider monster that has been notoriously known for killing Croftians who ventured too far into the Forest is reported to have expanded its territory. Ferris receives word from one of his gym regulars that the monster has invaded the mining sector of the slums, causing a shortage in the amount of resources going to the slums. Complaints sent to the Capita have been ignored (as usual), leading to the slums entering a metal deficiency. This deficiency has led to a shortage in construction materials for housing, buildings, technology, and essentials.

Jason volunteers to exterminate the monster, as his power affinity is darkness and magic negation, which should be a counter against the creature's web magic. Amana asks the team where Sam is, and Junon tells her that Sam came down with the cold. Apparently, when the A/C was broken, Sam went training anyway. Tob busts out laughing. Ferris decides to step in, surprising the team, as he always served as mission overseer. Ferris wants to practice his new earth spells on a live target, and tells Amana and Jason that his seekers will make the search faster since Sam is unable to do the mission. Amana approves Ferris to go with Jason, and tells them to be safe.
