After a few hours, Kira returned to be by Rico's side, giving Shinon time to go and rest before his 'spar'. However, how could he rest with a chaotic mind?
Night had draped the Phoenix settlement in a cloak of darkness, casting long shadows across the familiar paths Shinon walked.
The weight of anticipation hung heavily upon him as he returned to his room. Thoughts of the upcoming duel weighed on his mind, causing his steps to falter ever so slightly.
He wasn't worried about his opponent. No matter who the person was, Shinon should be able to defeat them, either with his prowess or abilities. He was concerned about the enchantment he had done on the knives.
Entering his room, he closed the door behind him and leaned against it, allowing the silence to envelop him. The soft glow of candlelight illuminated the space, casting flickering shadows on the walls.
