<span class="mu-r">This weapon will protect you, but your biggest protection and strength is not in steel and dust.</span>
<span class="mu-r">Your biggest strength is right in front of you. Your family and the love you all share will give you strength and the power to return.</span>
“Promised Return.” <span class="mu-r">The name comes to you, it calls to you.</span>
<span class="mu-r">Your family is stunned in silence.</span>
“Snrk.” <span class="mu-r">Charisa snickers before breaking into laughter.</span> “That is sooo gay, oh my gods!”
“C-Charisa, that’s not very nice - hehe.” <span class="mu-r">Akihime tries her hardest to not laugh and make you feel bad.</span> “It’s a-a good name sweetie.”
<span class="mu-r">Devadas and his mom look amused.</span> “Really went hard on the melodrama, eh?” <span class="mu-r">Maria says.</span> “Normally people use cool names like Death Sentence or something.”
“Or Soaring Rise.”
“Sand Demise.”
“Something Not Gay.”
“Okay, okay I get it!” <span class="mu-r">you cross your arms.</span> “Well <span class="mu-i">I</span> like it and it’s <span class="mu-i">my</span> weapon so I’ll name it whatever I want!” <span class="mu-r">You huff and turn to walk away. <span class="mu-i">Philistines. Don’t have respect for the dramatic.</span> you think.</span>
“Good luck sweetie, stay safe!” <span class="mu-r">Akihime shouts at you as you walk away.</span> “We’ll be waiting for you here, always!”
<span class="mu-r">Suddenly, a vision floods your brain.</span>
Your vision is hazy and almost distant, but you can make some things out.
You find yourself kneeling helplessly on the ground. In front of you lay the lifeless bodies of your family. You wanna believe they are just unconscious, but a part of you tells you otherwise.
Standing over them with their back turned towards you, a dark featureless figure. It turns their head a bit so that you can see half their face.
Wicked smile and an eye of fire.
