The Last Sky's Rejection
Intro: A Past to the Last Sky's Rejection 10
Rewinding to a night after the day that Duwyn and her friends departed for Jelfyr's festival, into an open grassland where calming breeze flowing in this beautiful midnight, Jaino, lying on the grass, gazes at the sky. Hearing the rustling leaves consecutively stomped by someone footsteps, he waits for the two people, a man and a woman, that he recognizes, to arrive.
The veteran priestess sits on the grass while the weird man just stands and intently observes at Jaino. The veteran priestess speaks, "This place is quite comfortable, you should invite us your fellow survivors." Not hearing a reply, she follows, "I guess, our age gap higher too much for such bonding."
Jaino replies, "Tell me, what have brought you two here?"
And the priestess replies, "Sire, I feel so calm."
"Cut off with the sire..."
"It seems my fate has been decided. Look at the stars... they are telling my destiny... Sire, I'll do what I must. Before I maybe had failed to protect my family, friends, relatives, tribe, and my village... but now, I'll protect this new Asteron that you had founded."
"Why could you think so? Isn't me just dragging them to their end?"
"I've seen how these people had changed. Before they were just bandits. Now, they are living to the new life they accustom and feel comfortable, such peaceful, acceptable to dignity, and united.
"I ask you a second time, Sire, please continue your deeds."
"...you know... I really don't know if I'd done good deeds. If I did then I can't promise such a thing. I still have my personal problems. But... I do hope I can remember your words." And to the weird man who throws something, Jaino gazes at and catches the bottle of green liquid. He hears him speak,
"This time I feel uneasy... The liquid can paralyze any living that I'd seen had made contact. Use it well. I might just runaway when time comes. Please, protect us."
"Sire," has followed by the veteran priestess. "Hadn't you remembered how joyous the people in the festivals we celebrated? How happy and grateful were they not just transcending life to a new but to experience greet happiness in our simple life?"
Scrutinizing her words, Jaino sits and replies, "That was because of your religious preaches. You taught them a lot of good values."
"I myself had witness such changes. Without their cooperation, passing my tradition wouldn't be possible. Without your instruction, Asteron that it is now wouldn't be existed... Sire, if you succeed with this operation, then the custom born within this village might scatter across Dandia."
Jaino smiles. "Don't say me. This is my guild master operation. I'm only doing my duty. And I need the cooperation from both of you." Gazing at the weird man, he thinks, Specially you... "But, I guess. It is not a bad idea to protect the people living here..." This might atone my sins. "I'll do my best."
"Believe yourself, Sire. I too shall do my best."
Followed by the weird man, "Same here. Release us from this calamity." Strangely your kind has been long confined by this selection...

At the current time inside the cemetery of Jelyr, Hoven moves and initiates his attack.
Halting Hoven's movement, Jaino has swung his black sword. Observing at Hoven who skips one step to the left, Jaino parries the attack and he slashes his sword pushing Hoven who evades back.
