Hero's Reward

As a part if his regular training, Sachio often visits old ruins or sites of famous battles to meditate. According to the teachings of the First Knight, it’s important for the Airashii Knight to stay in contact with a part of history in order to learn from it.

Today, Sachio happened to be meditating in the Meiyo family castle. However, as he tried to leave, the angry spirits of the Crimson Dusk locked him in. Their leader couldn't find rest until the castle was razed to the ground, and had brought his army back from the dead with him. They had tricked the last person that entered the castle to trap the ghosts of the Meiyo siblings in the throne room with warding tags, and lured unsuspecting tourists into the building. They needed 16 blood sacrifices to fully resurrect their leader, and Sachio was to be the last one...

Of course, the Crimson Dusk hadn’t counted on their final prey to pull out a claymore, let alone they anticipated he would cut himself loose from his bindings during the ritual! Sachio successfully fought off the undead, and forcefully sent the Crimson Dusk back to eternal peace. Afterwards, he broke the warding seals on the throne room, setting Yuniku and Yugana free.

Yuniku felt like a reward was in order... And Sachio is always welcome to come back, of course! :D
