Under the moonlight, the two men stared at each other in silence.
Thales looked at Asda in disbelief, then at Black sword.
'What?
'A massacre... in Renaissance Palace?
'The royal family... was killed?'
In Thales' memories, there was only one incident which had both of the described events happening at the same time...
Thales swallowed and his brain revolved frantically. 'These two men... what roles did they play in the Bloody Year?'
Asda maintained his chilling smile, but this time, his smile seemed to be laced with another emotion.
"It's time to set things right." A strange blue light surfaced in Asda's eyes, and it only grew brighter with each passing moment. "This time, I will solve this problem of yours, once and for all."
As his voice fell, Asda "changed".
Thales stared in shock as he watched the blue light in Asda's eyes overflow like a creek, branching into several streams. It blanketed his entire face.
