Chapter 5: Cryogen

Prologue:
Cryogen, an ice planet with an incredible source of ice and water energy, many of the people here are mages and have many knights that base off of solid defense. Kiro is about to meet three people who will change his life forever.


As Kiro traveled through the Nexus the portal suddenly opened in an icy field. Kiro stepped out of the portal and was embraced by the chilly breeze and a blizzard storm “So this is Cryogen.” Kiro said as he started walking til he found shelter. After awhile Kiro came across a cave and saw a faint light emitting from inside “I wonder if someone is already in there.” Kiro said to himself as he entered the cave and noticed that the ice inside was different from the one outside and saw a teen training. “I know that style… that’s the legendary Ten Kisho… the greatest offensive and defensive style on Cryogen” Kiro said to himself as he sensed that the teen was behind him. “Frost Needle Slash!” the teen said as he unleashed a barrage of ice needles at Kiro. “Kiyazaki Flame!” Kiro said as he easily melted the ice into water droplets. “Not bad for a Ten Kisho clan member.” Kiro said as he turned and saw that it was a boy. “And you must be the legendary Immortal Flame” The boy said as he sheathed his sword. “Well I’m not legendary if I’m not dead now am I?” Kiro said as he got ready to leave. “Where you headed?” the boy asked. “I have a mission to attend to.” “Then let me be your guide”

As Kiro explained the mission to the boy they got to know each other better. “Sorry I didn’t mention my name earlier, its Astral Kisho” Astral said as they reached a town as a ceremony begun. “Oh? What’s the occasion?” Kiro asked intrigued. “It’s the Parade of Ice, its purpose is to keep the spirits of our people merry as possible.” Astral answered. “So who’s the main attraction?” “That would be Sana, the Oracle of Ice, sadly during the parade she can’t use her elemental abilities.” “. . . So my mission begins” Kiro said to himself as he noticed dark clouds suddenly appearing, Astral notices it as well and suddenly dashes into town. Kiro follows in after him and makes it on to the platform where the parade is being held. “Astral, you’ve returned.” Sana said happy to see him again. “Yes milady.” Astral replied as he bowed in respect. “And you are?” Sana asked politely as she looked up at Kiro. As Kiro and Sana’s gazes met he was amazed at the beauty that stood before him, a tall, slender woman that was about his age perhaps a year younger that had long silky ice blue hair and ice blue eyes that make Kiro’s heart skip a beat. “I’m Kiro Kiyazaki, it’s an honor to meet you.” Kiro said as he kneeled down before her. “Likewise, I’ve heard much about you.” Sana said as she gestured for him to rise. “I would love to give you a proper introduction but we’ve got a bit of a problem right now…” he said as he rose and turned around to notice that the Ozuraian army closed in on them.

“Astral… you ready?” Kiro asked. “Damn right I am!” he said as he drew his sword and went into stance. Kiro noticed a dark energy blast coming towards Sana and got in front of her and took the strike with no defense. “Are you ok?” Sana asked concerned. “Yeah, I’m fine… no need to worry yourself about it.” Kiro replied as he smiled as proof of his words. Suddenly a masked man dashed in and charged in to strike Kiro as he drew his blade, Kiro parried it with his blade behind his back turned facing the man. “Impressive… you might pose a challenge.” The man said as he jumped back slightly. “If you think Astral and I will let you get anywhere near Sana…” Kiro said as he turned around and his aura was as intense as an undying flame “you better leave now before you regret it with your life!!!” Kiro said as his eyes turned blood red and the pupils turned into black crosses with a glimmering tiny red stone in the center of the crosses. “Ah, so you have the legendary Crimson Stigmata… you will be a worthy challenge then.” The man said as he commanded the solders to encircle Sana. “You take the back half; I’ll handle this fool and the front half.” Kiro said to Astral as he stepped forward to challenge the masked warrior.
