The characters in the story are Logan, Vishra and Shida.
It was a rainy day in Grand Gaia. Some heroes had set out on a quest earlier to the Bariura empire in order to relinquish a demon; they had failed. Under the orders of his master, Logan too sought out the demon and had met these heroes on his journey. Now, they were dead. A fierce battle commenced between the demon and Logan but in the end Logan was the victor. As Logan struck Vishra with the flat of his blade the demon's helmet shattered, revealing the face of a previously noble knight.
"Logan, you've become a fine swordsman." said the unmasked man in a raspy voice. His skin looked charred and dehydrated, sticking to his bones.
"I know not who you are, nor how you know my name. Die in the name of my master!" replied Logan who was towering over Vishra.
"Your... master? You were a free knight, Logan! Don't you remember me?" Vishra said, coughing up blood
"No. Now die!"
As Logan thrust his sword into Vishra's ribcage and pierced his heart, Vishra let out a sigh of relief. "I'm glad it was you who relieved me of my pain. Logan, remember who you are." he muttered, but his words were scattered across the wind.
"I have returned, master." Said Logan as he appeared next to a man experimenting with enchanted vials.
"Good. How have your memories been, Logan?" Replied the man, Shida.
"Nothing. When will I have them back. Also, what was my affiliation with the demon?" questioned Logan.
"Why, He was your long lost friend!" Said Shida as he cackled maniacally.
Logan's right hand began to quiver as he knelt upon the ground. What did Shida mean? Vishra was the one who he promised to? That's impossible, he thought.
"Is that so? That couldn't possibly be true. You said he was a knight. Vishra was no knight, he was a demon!" replied Logan
"That's where you are wrong my servant. He was once a knight, but was corrupted by the suit of armor, Vishra."
Enraged, Logan lunged forward at Shida, his red eyes glowing intensely. "How dare you make a mockery of me!" Exclaimed Logan. "I murdered my best friend!"
Shida, blocking the attack with a shield of dark energy, called upon the souls of his experiments to aid him in battle. "You, dare attack me? Your master? Mutiny! Kill him." Shida said turning around as the souls charged at Logan and viciously assailed him.
Logan, badly beaten and on the brink of death, saw a light. He traveled towards it and was flooded with warmth and power. Suddenly, his memories returned and Logan exploded in a nova of dark power collapsing the roof as an evil aura manifested around him and engulfed his blade, as well as his heart.
Logan slashed through the experimented souls quicker than light and penetrated Shida's back,sword emerging from his chest.
"You will come to regret this, Logan." uttered Shida with his last breath as he sputtered out blood.
After all was said and done, Logan collapsed, staring at the blue sky. As a single tear slid down Logan's face he muttered, "Sorry, old friend."
