Kain had always been a practical person; he'd never held much belief in superstition, and his father had killed any childish idea of the supernatural when he had been very young. It wasn't that Richard Highwind had been intentionally cruel, but he had been severely strict before he had died and Kain had since taken those teachings to heart. Even if he had wanted to be a white mage, he could never have done it due to his ultimate lack of faith in, really, anything at all. At least, that was what he'd thought for most of his life, but the dragoon wasn't so certain of himself anymore. There was nothing magical about the twin moons in the sky, but still... there was something terribly otherworldly and ethereal about the man he'd grown up with whose lineage descended from such a place, something off and indescribable about him made that much starker by the light of the pale moons.
