"Aren, you asked me a question earlier didn't you?""The reason behind me joining hands with Anthony Raigarh, was it?", Zene added."The cycle of revenge continued to pass on one after the other", Zene stated.On one side Master Tai Jin had found his successor, Zene Lach a young boy with whom the man had sought to go on a journey together with into the lands unknown and filled with chaos, war and fear.The man had found the one person who didn't budge an inch in such a harsh world, Zene Lach back then was truly one of a kind.On the other side, there existed a man whose sole purpose of living was to take revenge.
