"old man, I am only going to ask this once, and I want a direct response from you. How, did my infernal mana finds its way into your hands". His eagerness to understand why Shakir's flame is a fitting match to his had made him forget the language barrier separating them, and no matter how many times he asks, he will never get a clear response from Shakir.

Orun took his very first step out of the dungeon and stood still at the entrance, admiring the view before him. He raised his head up, wanting to for the first time in a long time, see the rays of the sun washing on him.
