Three days had passed since Musayuki's return...
And the city was still drowning in denial.
The statues stood silent, the soldiers vanished from the gates,
As if life itself had paused—awaiting his reappearance.
At the heart of Kyoujin, the fallen capital from years past,
Musayuki stood amidst the ruins of the Shadow Temple.
He placed his hand upon the earth and whispered:
"Awaken..."
The ground split open, and the first of the shadows emerged—
Faceless, voiceless, yet their loyalty was undeniable.
Then, the first of the new figures revealed herself:
"Hana – The Tongue of Shadows"
A girl with bottomless black eyes.
She was the first to kneel before Musayuki.
A servant of shadows for centuries—waiting for his return.
Hana:
"You were late, my lord...
The world has changed. Corruption reigns. And your enemies... have not forgotten you."
Musayuki did not reply.
Instead, he looked up toward the sky—
The clouds spiraled, as if they too sensed the hour had come.
Then, from the distant horizon, the first enemy appeared.
Clad in silver armor, he led an army of Twisted Light...
"Raizen – The False Priest of Light"
An old nemesis of Musayuki.
He was the one who ignited the ancient war… and imprisoned the shadows.
He smiled coldly as he gazed at Musayuki from afar:
"So you've returned, son of darkness...
But this time, there will be no escape."
