The forest had gone completely silent. Even the wind seemed to have disappeared.
Reiji stood at the entrance of the ancient structure, his Long Bone Sword held tightly in his hand. The golden scales covering his fingers slowly faded, but the pressure coming from the man inside the structure remained. The man looked exactly like someone who had stepped out of one of Reiji's forgotten memories. Black hair. Golden eyes. Dark clothing. Enormous dragon wings extending from his back. But there was something else. The man's face was almost identical to Reiji's. Not completely. There were slight differences in the shape of his jaw and eyes, but anyone looking at them would immediately understand that they were related somehow.
Reiji stared at him.
The man smiled. "I know that look."
Reiji's grip tightened around the sword. "You look like me."
"Of course I do."
The answer came too naturally. Reiji's eyes narrowed. "Who are you?"
