Chapter 3 - Act 3: Connected by a Curse of Love

"Love unlike any others can't be split by the simple result of death. Reawaken from your slumber and fight." Heard from the voice of an elderly old women, Kael opens his eyes in which he laid dead. Lifting his body back onto his feet, Kael turns around to his father standing afar with the sense of disbelief.

"You remain alive?!" Spoken in confusion.

"Our love is everything father."Said Kael.

"Nonsense! Love from that girl will lead you down a path of suffering. Her love is what summoned your betrayal after all! If killing you once won't do the trick then twice must!" Unshiving his blade from its case the man proceeds to excel past Kael once again in the blink of an eye. Falling to his knees upon suffering another single fatal blow down the center of his chest, blood begins pouring out like a stream of water. Completely falling into the pile of blood, Kael falls into a deep slumber once more.

Upon reaching her destination Seirin runs within the open space of a garage, hopping aboard a parked motorcycle. Grabbing the helmet resigning on the motorcycle steering wheel and placing it on her head Seirin proceeds to inject the key inside the bike followed by starting it up. Before being able to put her bike in gear, Seirin suddenly begins aching in serious pain from her heart.

"Kael, are things not going your way over there too? Sigh, here I come." Starting up her bike Seirin begins driving out of the garage and into the rainy streets of Carleta. With rain pouring heavily down the street Seirin drives in a slow manner. After driving down a few blocks, a man dressed in all black stands in the middle of the street. Drifting her bike in a circle in success of coming to a complete stop, Seirin stares at the man speaking on his cell phone.

"A bounty you say? On your poor little sister. I must say this is quite a turn of events. Well I'll be back in contact with ya. I have company."

"Gale, you're back home…" Seirin speaks in a saddened tone.

"Why did I have to return to this news Seirin? Any other time you're a good kid but give it one time you disobey orders and I have your sister calling me about killing you for your betrayal."

"Listen, Gale. She's overreacting. Everything can work out for the better if she would just give this a chance."

"From what I heard there really isn't a chance to make this work out. Sometimes you have to let reality be as it should."

"Even if it's wrong!?"Seirin shouts at Gale, unable to control her temper.

"Even if it's wrong!"

"Unbelievable!"Twisting the handles of her motorcycle steering wheel, Seirin begins driving towards Gale in pursuit of passing him up. Pulling out a shotgun from a hostler on his back, Gale points the barrel of his weapon at Seirin motorcycle wheels and releases a shot. Jumping off the motorcycle to assure her safely Seirin is left to deal with the problem before her.

"This isn't for the money nor personal reasons. This is merely to restore honor for the Arken Family." He points the barrel of his shotgun directed at Seirin's head.

"Then I'll fight to prove you wrong. My goal will be realized!" Pulling out a pistol from her waist and instantly pointing it at Gale. Both Gale and Seirin pull the trigger.
