~Grandpa's POV~

I fanned my flame, and chanted the familiar chants.

Fire.

A little fire keeps you warm, too much fire burns you.

The life of a fire is short yet full of beauty.

The fire reminds me of my young daughter Rei. So passionate and full of life.

This fire right here shines as bright as her future.

I continued fanning.

The temple's been a lot quieter since Rei left. It's a lot harder to keep it in shape, but I get by. Yuuichirou helps a lot. He is kind to keep this old man company.

I look deep into the fire and my chanting gets louder.

The fire is reacting to my voice, and trembles slightly.

Then, it retracts just a bit, soon expanding once again and expanding more each time.

I keep up the constant and even fanning of the flame.

That's when it hit me.

Deep in my gut, I felt a powerful feeling. Like a gust of wind went through my soul.

Of course, a mere moment after my body sensed this, the fire erupted.

I stared into the blazing orange light, and thoughts came into my head in an instant.

Seven warriors

One goal

To stop the calamity

That will unfold

Ah.

It is time. I knew this day would come.

Heh heh. I lick my lips.

I hope I'm still spry enough for this.
