Darkness.
Silence.
Cold.
Kael felt nothing.
No pain.
No body.
Just… emptiness.
—
"…Still breathing."
A voice.
Distant.
Blurry.
—
"…Barely," another voice replied.
—
Kael's fingers twitched.
Slightly.
—
"…He's waking up."
—
Light.
Weak at first.
Then stronger.
—
Kael's eyes opened slowly.
Blurred vision.
A ceiling.
Stone.
Cracked.
Unknown.
—
"…Where…"
His voice was dry.
Heavy.
—
"Don't move."
A calm voice.
Familiar.
—
Kael turned his head slightly.
And saw her.
The blue-haired girl.
Sitting nearby.
Her sword resting against the wall.
Her eyes… watching him.
—
"…You…" Kael muttered.
—
"You're alive," she said simply.
—
Silence.
—
Kael tried to move—
Pain exploded across his body.
"…Tch—!"
—
"Don't," she repeated. "Your body is still broken."
—
"…Where am I…" he asked.
—
A pause.
—
"…Somewhere safe."
💀
—
(Step.)
Another presence.
—
A man entered the room.
Tall.
Calm.
Eyes sharp.
Every movement… controlled.
—
"…So this is him?" he said.
—
Kael frowned.
"…Who are you…"
—
The man didn't answer immediately.
His gaze moved—
To Kael's shoulder.
The mark.
—
Silence.
—
"…Yeah," he said quietly.
"…It's him."
💀
—
"…Stop talking like I'm not here," Kael snapped weakly.
—
The man looked at him.
Calm.
Serious.
—
"…You almost died."
—
"…I noticed," Kael replied coldly.
—
A small pause.
—
"…Good," the man said.
"…Then you understand your situation."
💀
—
Another voice suddenly entered—
"Yo! He's awake already?!"
—
(Step-step.)
A younger guy rushed in.
Messy hair.
Wide eyes.
Energy everywhere.
—
"…Damn, he looks worse than I expected!" he laughed.
—
"…Shut up," the serious man replied.
—
"…What? I'm just saying—"
—
Kael stared at them.
Confused.
Annoyed.
Tired.
—
"…Who the hell are you people…"
💀
—
Silence.
—
Then—
The serious man stepped forward.
—
"…We're what's left."
A pause.
—
"…Of the Legends."
💀💀💀
—
Kael's eyes narrowed.
"…Legends?"
—
The blue-haired girl stood up slowly.
—
"…People like you."
—
Kael froze.
"…Like me?"
—
She walked closer.
Stopped right beside him.
—
"…Check your shoulder."
—
Kael frowned.
Slowly… he moved his hand.
Pulled slightly at his torn clothes.
—
And saw it.
—
The mark.
Clear.
Burning faintly.
—
His eyes widened.
"…What… is this…"
—
Silence.
—
The serious man spoke.
—
"…A sign."
—
"…That you don't belong to this normal world anymore."
💀
—
Kael's breath slowed.
"…Explain."
—
The young guy grinned.
"…Long story short?"
—
The serious man cut him off.
—
"…You're being hunted."
—
Silence.
—
"…By who?" Kael asked.
—
The answer came instantly.
—
"…The World Government."
💀
—
The room went quiet.
—
Kael stared at them.
"…Why?"
—
The blue-haired girl finally spoke.
—
"…Because you're not supposed to exist."
💀
—
Silence.
—
Everything clicked.
—
The man.
The fight.
The words.
"You died."
—
Kael clenched his fist.
"…Start talking."
💀
—
The serious man turned slightly.
Walking toward the door.
—
"…You'll get your answers."
A pause.
—
"…But first—"
He looked back at Kael.
—
"…you need to survive."
💀💀💀
