Kaen stood alone… facing Yuzen's army. White flags fluttered in the wind — they were firmly embedded in the ground. Blood soaked the streets. The Ryuki mages were retreating… but Kaen stood still.
Kaen (muttering to himself): "I never knew… our Ryuki mages could be this cowardly."I never knew only we few carried the real pride of Ryuki."
"Well… if this is how it ends, then let it be the moment I shine… forever."
His body was wrapped in his grey cloak, the wind making it flutter like a battle flag.
As Ryuki's mages passed by, retreating in panic, some glanced at him in disbelief.
Ryuki mage (whispering): "What's with this kid? Why is he standing there… choosing death? "Does he not know the plan?"
But Kaen didn't stop. He stepped forward, alone, toward the countless Yuzen mages ahead — as if he were walking toward fate itself.
The Yuzen mages began to charge, weapons raised — magic swirling in the air.
Yuzen mage (grinning): "Look at that… little mage's got guts."
