Kai and Tidra shared a glance as Kai sucked his teeth. "See, that's what I was a afraid of." Kai dug around in the bag that hung off his side, a brown leather bag made from the hides of horned lizards native to a particular cave in his homeland, deep in the Ishidate territory. He fished a worn, blac...

Kai sighed. "Yeah, I'm not big on talking about my family when they all want me dead." Kai sipped again. "Save for my little brother. He's the only ally I have back home." Kai stared off for a beat before shaking the clutch of despair off his brain. "Rivieran politics tend to be absolute, and unfort...

After flying for about an hour, Kai finally saw buildings coming up in the distance. His wings vanished as the angel dropped from his low glide into a stride that never lost momentum. He slid to a stop in the dusty outskirts of the town, several miles away. He couldn't see any enemies or feel any ho...

As Kai was whisked into the humble abode of Zero, he couldn't help but smirk. "Might not be the response I wanted, but definitely the one I should've expected," he thought to himself.

After making the necessary preparations and informing important parties, he set off to track the vile creatures down. He had to make a quick stop, ho...

"I'm looking for something, things, actually," Kai admitted with no hesitation. "See, I'm a bit of a scholar.
