As Feng Xian came closer to the middle of the room his vision started to adjust to the dark light seeing more then a few thousand people all holding the same type of longsword all with their respected names on them. "I thought there only ever a thousand of us." Feng Xian gasped in awe. "That just for the parades and public in truth we have around fifty thousand members and to top it of this is just a branch of the real Retribution Brigade. We span across this land we're every where for we are Retribution and it is our Lady we serve now brother kneel and embrace the blade of our Lady!!!" Grey screamed in joy and wonder, the energy transferred into Feng Xian without resistance arms flinging out kneeling in front of the Lady Statue arms jolted at the blade sticking out of the podium. "Now brothers and sisters let it begin, chant the Shadowless, chant Retribution. The shadows shall become one then become none they will come a time when we need a Shadowless and that time has come, Lady Retribution bless us with one we bestow our trust in, bless us with a Shadowless soldier so we can win this fight against the demons and beast form gate of the demonic lands. Mercy for those who have earnt it, Justice for those who deserve it, and Vengeance for those who can't archive it. This is our code do you Shadowless accept!!!" Both Grey and Sten Bellowed at the top or their lungs, the same chant came for the thousands that slammed their longswords against their armor and stomped their feet on the ground the feeling grew inside Feng Xian chest like nothing he felt before.
"YES~!!!!!!!!" Feng Xian screamed with pure adrenaline
"Then we accept you!" Grey and Sten said in unison lifting Chaos and Hollow, taking a few steps back then jumping spinning in the air and bringing the the swords down onto Feng Xian shoulders and kneeling using the hilts that stuck in Feng Xian and then spoke a few words in a whisper. "Shadowless you we become, but first you must become one and then none."
Feng Xian then blacked out, opening his eyes to see a pitch black room. "I can't believe you were chosen to be Shadowless. I get to see you now and talk to you.. Freely my love." A women's voice sounded in the background. The women stepped out of the shadows revealing herself to be the same one that left the ring and silk behind. Pain shot through Feng Xian head, visions racing pass of memories with this beautiful existence call Retribution.
Outside everyone observing suddenly got scared by Feng Xian scream of pain they all thought that if was another failure but to their surprise nothing happen after he stop. "The pain he must be experiencing, he must be resisting the demons and beast that fight for his mind." Sten spoke with a slight sorrow in his heart.
"Re." Feng Xian suddenly looked up with love in his eyes. "You remember?" Re was a little shocked. "I only remember you. Who am I?" Feng Xian asked. "I can't tell you that... but I wish I could, please remember and come back to me. Please let me hear you say you'll wait." Re replied while crying. "Yes I'll wait for you under our tree we spent that crazy night under." Feng Xian smiled with a tear rolling down his cheek reaching out to embrace Re but only falling through the image and into the shadows.
Feng Xian's eyes opened red, the tips of his blonde hair turned black. Tears falling from his cheeks then drying from the rage for he could not hold her. His arms burst from the blade pushing Grey and Sten away then gripped the blades within his shoulders pulling them out. The wounds covering with shadows, Feng Xian bursting from his knees into a jump then smash the tips of the longswords into the ground in an angle that makes a cross. Pushing off the blades backwards, landing on the ground near the door he once enter as a normal human, then bursting forward back at the blades. Arriving just in front of then his foot sliding to a side stance resting on the embedded tips, his knees bending bringing his upper body down in the process, his fist booming forward at the cross point of the blades smashing then to nothing. The blades crumbled to chucks of metal on the floor, catching the falling hilts mid-air as Feng Xian's hand came into contact with them the space that once held metal blades, now sucked away all the shadows in the area leaving the room as bright as if touches lit everything up. Forming Blades on the hilts made of shadows. "We have become one. Now I become none. For I am.... We are... Everybody is... Shadowless." Feng Xian yelled to everyone in the room then slashed backwards the blades disappearing once again. The hilts then vanished into Feng Xian's ring. "Re~!!!" Feng Xian screamed at the top of his lungs while tears flowed from his face. Then collapsed onto the ground Feng Xian lied there falling asleep with a wide chester grin on his face. "I'll dream of you tonight." using his last breath Feng Xian said those words then dropping off into a deep sleep.
"It worked... He's Shadowless. Send the Great General a letter now say we've found him, we've found Shadowless. You go tell the emperor we will be ready for the war thats to come, just give us six months." Grey bellowed his orders to people around telling them to send letters to every branch in the cities outside this one, telling them to move Feng Xian to his bed. The whole the room moved the moment he start to speak no even needing to hear his orders. Sten stood there in shock "I can't believe it... He smash my finest works with a punch. But still Shadowless has become a reality, no longer is it a myth. I must work on his armor now, I have to make him a not just a Shadowless armor, but a true masterpiece of an armor one that no one has ever seen." As Sten stood up the floor started to crumble away, in fear of falling everyone ran out of the room. Grey staring back into now that was nothing but a statue thats now floating above a void."Lady Retribution, your power is truly limitless."
