Chapter 14

A wave of malice and darkness exploded out from the lord’s manor. Those with magic in their blood looked and saw and felt a great terror, rising into the sky, a titan of wrath and ruin, given form. They witnessed a specter, towering above the clouds themselves, wreathed in black flames, eyes aglow with eldritch lights, bearing aloft a blade of ash and shadow.

The common folk shivered and felt a deep dread creeping into their souls and making their skin crawl and their hairs stand on end. Those who lie asleep and dreaming thrashed and turned in their beds, beset by torturous nightmares of ancient battlefields and rotting corpses, millions upon millions of lost souls groaning and moaning for release, their near-skeletal hands reaching out to some unseen savior that would never come.

Great black clouds converged over the earth. The stars disappeared and all the lights seemed to dim as the shadows in every corner grew.

“What’s going on?!” one of the guards yelled at his fellow patrolmen.

The darkness was growing. The lights that were scattered all over town were dimming. And, when he looked toward the lord’s mansion, something terrible stared back at him, a titan of ashes and darkness. “Do you see that?!”

“I don’t see anything!” another guard replied, screaming. “But there’s… something foul in the air! I can feel it!”

A great evil had descended upon Hirata. Fear gripped its townsfolk. A terrible panic swept across the town, fear and paranoia seeping into the minds of the masses.

The guards and warriors marched out onto the streets to calm the rapidly forming mobs of deranged merchants and farmers, but even they were wavering as an aura of madness and despair exploded from the lord’s manor, enveloping the entirety of Hirata in a single nightmare.

Screams echoed everywhere—men, women, and children alike afflicted by the overwhelming malice and rage in the air.

And yet, as quickly as it appeared, the specter vanished, leaving nothing but a thin wisp of smoke and ashes that only the magically gifted would ever see. Almost as though the nightmare was never there to begin with, the once crazed townsfolk returned to their homes in a daze, their minds addled and confused, unable to comprehend the power that had loomed over them moments ago. And so they did as their minds dictated and chose to forget the horror that was the ashen titan.

And no one noticed the figure of Murasaki Jin, blowing a hole through the manor and flying out, disappearing.
