In the midst of battle and confusion, I had a clear sense of direction. After leaving Hiroshi and the others behind, I felt drawn to Miron. His fear and power were too strong to ignore.
Although I knew it was unwise to face him alone, my desire for revenge outweighed my fear of death. Miron would pay for his actions. Without hesitation, I rode towards him.
I left the others before the gate of the walls opened to avoid confronting the enemy army. Miron was not in the castle of the third epic but on a high peak. His power pulled me away from the battle towards a place where only we would be.
As I neared him, I dismounted and continued on foot. The summit was barren and cold. The sky darkened, the winds picked up, and tension filled the air.
When I arrived, I saw stairs leading down and a large tree. Miron stood beside it, waiting for me as if he expected my arrival.
"Ryuu, you finally came. I thought you might have been scared and run away," he said.
