 +Equals not "perfection."\\
 +The man braved dangers endless,\\
 +Simply to seek his weakness.
 +
 +In his greener days\\
 +With more amateur skills,\\
 +In crises where death denied him even after kills,\\
 +He learned why "curse" is a synonym for "blessing,"
 +
 +For he saw that visage of terror\\
 +at life's closing.
 +
 +The man seems unmoved\\
 +when his past is mentioned.\\
 +Having braved death nine times,\\
 +He who was once lacking,\\
 +Now excels above everyone else, still rising.
 +
 +Yet,\\
 +When asked if he's still as ticklish as when he was a child,\\
 +He does not answer.

 +It's a wild tale he won't care to opine —\\
 +It's said that Castrum Kremnos has secrets divine,\\
 +Through which the king's power has passed,\\
 +A one-man army, by strength in their bloodline.
 +
 +<color #efe4B0>//"Therefore, a traitor who does not inherit the throne,\\

 +As the protagonist hears these words,\\
 +He refutes not, but openly responds:
 +
 +<color #993333>//"These are not rumors unfounded.\\

 +<color #efe4B0>//"Never turning back in war, he seizes all our glory."//</color>\\
 +That rumor in the war camp of fury,\\
 +Often casts a shadow on the man's heart, indestructible and fiery.
 +
 +When campaigns become mired in terror,\\
 +He sends his army to places safe and secure,\\
 +Yet alone he goes to fight, knowing death can touch him ne'er.
 +
 +The Kremnoan Detachment who follow him in livery,\\
 +All die in bed, devoid of glory.\\
 +They have their share of grudges upon death,\\
 +But the man has no regret, none necessary.
 +
 +<color #993333>//"Your glory lies not in death but in my hands."//</color>

 +The dust settles,\\
 +And Strife calms.\\
 +A deathly quiet covers his father's realm,\\
 +And the man alone returns home.
 +
 +A question seems to sound, from shadows of the past around —\\
 +<color #efe4B0>//"Did you already walk that Flame-Chasing Road, O King?"//</color>
 +
 +Atop the throne,\\
 +The man mutters alone —
 +
 +<color #993333>//"There's nothing else worthy of the hunt,\\
 +For I am the blazing fire at the journey's end."//</color>
 +
 +As it has been foretold,\\
 +He killed the king to become a king, and killed the god to become a god.
 +
 +His eternal destiny — is to be crowned in blood.
