Even those who live their purpose encounter emptiness. But alone, there is no escape from your own void.
Currently at a fortress carved into the side of a rugged mountain range, a boy with black hair and a white mask named Zane crouched on a rocky ledge overlooking the main entrance. The cold wind swept through the cliffs, tugging at his cloak as he carefully studied the glowing scroll in his hands. Below him, the fortress stood silent and imposing, its dark metal walls blending with the surrounding stone. Floodlights mounted along the outer battlements cast pale beams across the mountainside, giving the entire structure an ominous appearance.
Zane: Found it. This is the place where Anna's coordinates lead.
Erik: You sure about that?
Zane: Yep, besides many ominous looking fortresses have you found out here? Anyway, get here as soon as you guys can. I'll keep a lookout till then.

Zane: Let's do this.
Zane jumped off the gate, and rushed one of them knocking away its blade and shooting it in the head, two more Atlesian Knights charged in, as Zane immediately shot down the first and parried the second one's strike and shot it down, a third Atlesian Knight brought it blade down but Zane immediately jumped back dodge it as she shot it down, and using the recoil to launch himself backwards to the fourth Atlesian Knight, kicking it back before shooting them both down.
Seven more Atlesian Knight rushes towards Zane, one of them charges in with its transformed blades as it started to slash Zane, as he immediately parries its strikes,
