A/N: - I'm so lazy! Sorry this took so long!
The air was thick with the terrible implication of apprehension. The terra itself was barren, nothing but a wasteland, with no fertile soil, and no crystal mines. No one knew the reason behind this terra, it was just there.

His detached control, his cool demeanor and the raw intensity of his fixed attention was enough to force obliging daggers from the hands of unwilling enemies to the floor.
The empire had been taken by slaughter of hope. The cold depths of Master Cyclonis' heart did not contain mercy for those who defied him, and the hoards of damned souls had fallen. He had been wise enough to see…to know…

Love my reviewers, thank you all so much for the lovely reviews!
