The incredible power of Batosai was a legendary one, which spread in rumors around the entire world of Vana'diel. Most feared his name and deeds, others wished he would disappear from the world and leave them in peace. However, there was one soul, who had his entire life taken from him by Batosai's sword, that could not forgive or forget what Kazu had done as Batosai. He trained to become stronger as a Dragoon, so that one day he would have enough strength to take revenge for his family, and all of the souls lost to the blade of the former Dark Knight of San d'Oria. This Dragoon, Seldzar, wished for nothing more than the only justice he knew that could be served- Batosai's death, and that only he could carry such a deed out.

"Do you feel any better Hitena?" Konami asked the Crimson Dragoon.

"If you're talking about me," he responded. "then I feel fine. Yet... I know you're talking about the memories of this Kazu you seek. I'm sorry to say, that I still can't remember anything else besides travelling with you, and a heavy weight on my shoulders... a burden that is almost too heavy to carry."

'...Kazu must feel suffering from knowing all the things he did as Batosai on a daily basis...' Konami thought to herself. 'And yet he kept going onwards, always trying to be optimistic, taking one day at a time and wanting to only help others.'

"You seem to have something on your mind." Hitena said.

"Oh, no... it's nothing, really." Konami responded with a smile to try to cover her obvious feeling of loss.

While on the road, another dragoon came up to them and stood in their way.

"You are the one known as Kazu, yes?" The dragoon asked.

"So it would seem, but why do you ask?" Hitena replied.

"Batosai..." the dragoon said. "I have come to avenge my family, and all the others who were slain by your blade! Prepare to die!"

He hit Hitena hard with the wooden part of his lance, knocking him to the ground.

"What... what are you talking about?" Hitena cried, obviously not knowing of Kazu's past.

"Please, stop!" Konami said. "It's hard to explain, yes, but please listen- this one does not know that he even was Batosai!"

"What are you talking about, woman?" The dragoon responded. "He took hundreds of innocent lives away with his blade alone- how can he not remember such a thing?"

Hitena looked on in horror as Konami defended him. "Kazu isn't Batosai anymore, don't you get it?" She said with a sigh. "If it wasn't for him, not only would the Shadow Lord be roaming Vana'diel still, but the Zilart would have destroyed what little remained from his chaos."

"He was the one who did that?" The dragoon asked.

"I did?" Hitena asked as well, in confusion.

"From what I know..." Konami went on. "the power granted to him at birth, the Crimson Light, contains the essence of the Phoenix. When Kazu sacrificed himself to stop the energy flow in Delkfutt's Tower, the Phoenix rose within him and restored his life, however, he came back as fragments of himself, each having their own personality, and each carrying various memories Kazu possessed."

"I see..." the dragoon responded. "I shall help you two restore Batosai to his normal self. Then, I shall be the judge of if he indeed is worthy of life. I'm Seldzar, by the way, Dragoon of the Norvallen Region."

'When Batosai is full again...' Seldzar thought. 'I shall kill him, and avenge the lives of all those he took away from this world. Sister... why did he have to take you away from me?... If it wasn't for him... you'd still be here with me... by my side.'

As the three continued walking the path, Hitena wondered deeply about his shrouded past, and if he would ever be able to find out the truths he sought so dearly.
