Among the soldiers standing outside the caged platform, Gray stood at a distance, his hands folded, watching as Kai got beaten.

In the vision that had taken over Kai's vision, the shadows and the monsters rushed toward Kai, entered both the sword and himself.

His eyes flared, glowing wildly and making the arcs at the back of his palms also glow, yet the snake-eyed man didn't stumble back; he simply stood there laughing.

When the guy threw a punch at Kai, Kai grabbed the guy's fist at the last second, the punch neared his face, curled the punch, and made the guy kneel and scream.

All other soldiers standing outside froze, turning confused gazes at each other, but Gray didn't; he simply stood there smiling as if he'd already predicted that to happen.

And in that minute, a loud bell sounded, putting the fight to a stop, yet Kai didn't loosen his grip on the guy.

Two soldiers rushed inside the cage, separating Kai and Kael.

Slowly, Kai walked out of the room like a god returning to his home, and when he reached the door of the changing room, he tilted his gaze at Gray and smiled.

That night, as every other soldier walked back to their rooms in groups, one phrase kept on repeating in their mouths: "Who is that kid?!"

…

Inside Gray's office, he sat calmly in his foamy chair, clutching a smartphone to his ear, speaking.

"I think we can now call unto the temple people to be ready," he said, grinning and listening to the voice coming from the person he was speaking with.

"He has regained his memories," he said, moved the smartphone from his cheek and turned it off.

In Kai's room, falling water sounds echoed as vaporised air sneaked under the bathroom door.

Inside the bathroom, Kai stood there letting the water splash on him while his mind reeled the memories now coming into his mind one after another.

He clenched his fist, slammed it on the wall, as a memory of standing beside a woman with short blue hair sleeping in a bamboo bed, coughing.

Kai closed his eyes and began crying heavily. "Mom," he said, clenching his fists and slamming them on the wall wildly. After the memory flashed back, he inhaled, turned off the shower, grabbed the towel, cleared the water from himself and entered the main room where his bed was.

He walked to the open window, pulled the white curtain sideways, and stared at the stars in the night sky. Seeing three bright stars blinking, he closed his eyes, letting all the memories balance themselves.

After standing at the window for thirty minutes, Kai moved to the wardrobe and opened it. In the wardrobe, the first thing he saw was an obsidian dagger resting calmly, but he didn't touch it; he simply grabbed the black hoodie and wore it.

Then he walked out of the room, locked it, and moved outside the white building he was in, placing his arms in the pockets of the hoodie.

The view outside the building itself was awesome as he continued walking until he stopped near a building that had an emergency tape crossing the middle window on the third floor.

Without hesitation, Kai simply moved to the entrance of the building, opened the gate, and entered, walking calmly and swiftly.

Reaching the third floor of the building, Kai closed his eyes, removed his right arm from his pocket, and brushed it across his face.

'Who did this?' he thought as he moved forward and brushed his palms at the melted door that also had an emergency tape crossing it.

Though he'd regained his vision, he couldn't remember being the cause of the melted door; all he remembered was having a strange dream of seeing himself clutching his fingers tightly around an obsidian sword that glowed.

Regardless of the emergency tape, Kai ducked, trod inside, and stopped at the bed that had been burnt on one side. Instead of walking out of the room despite seeing all this horror stuff, Kai walked to the doors of the four doors of the wardrobe, swinging freely as if welcoming him.

He coughed down, stretched his arms inside the last wardrobe, and pulled out two shinobi daggers that glowed in silver colour the moment he straightened himself and walked to the window crossed with the emergency tape.

Kai exhaled deeply, letting a breeze out and making the tapes tremble slightly, then he walked out of the room, placing the daggers at his side like a warrior uniting with his lost treasure.

Kai exited the building and continued walking. He didn't stop until he entered a building that had no ceiling, letting the night sky be its own ceiling.

The branches of the trees at the corners of the room shook, letting leaves spin in the air like a blessing from the heavens.

Kai walked to one of the trees, added the dagger in his right arm to the one already in his left, closed his eyes, and brushed his fingers across the cut lines dressing the stalk of the tree.

At every line he touched, sword training memories entered his vision, causing his body to sweat heavily as if he was actually performing the moves in the vision.

With a sudden wind surge, Kai cracked his eyes open, placed the dagger he added to the one that was already in his left hand into his right palm, and began swinging it, following the movement of the leaves spinning around.

As Kai repeated the same moves he saw in the memory he'd remembered, a figure stood at the far distance, its arms folded at its chest, grinning as he watched Kai.

And when Kai stopped, the figure moved from where he stood and exited the building. Though Kai's face wasn't in the direction of the door, he felt someone had been watching him, and somehow knew who that person was.

…

Outside the barracks, figures crouched down, lacing their boots and aligning themselves in groups and walked out of the room, holding long swords.

As most of the figures moved out, two people with broad shoulders stood there, stared at each other, and grinned.

Marcus, who stood there dressed like a shadow ninja, traced his finger at the two katana swords merged into one, forming something like a two-sided sword spear.

Marcus inhaled as he moved to the tinted window and saw three soldiers keeping guard at the gate, and smiled.

He turned, looked at Kan,g whose eyes glowed wildly as if the day he was waiting for had finally come to pass.

"It's time!" Marcus said, moving from the window and walking closer to Kang, tapped his shoulder, and then exited the dark room they stood in.

He joined the fifteen men dressed in the same outfit he was in, looked at their faces, and pointed in the direction the three soldiers stood.

Within seconds, two of the men dressed in ninja outfits rushed and killed the three soldiers instantly, then entered through the now free gate.

Marcus and the twelve men stood at the dark side of the abandoned building they had occupied for months, waiting for the signal.
