MASTER GEAR: Requiem of the Shard Castor & The Blood-Dragon Runes
The summer breeze was cool, but it did nothing to soothe the thunder roaring in Kiba Kyogi Kagimi’s soul. He looked up at the endless night sky, fire burning in his eyes.
"The wind cannot blow eternally," Kiba murmured, his voice cutting through the rustle of the leaves. "When the time comes that it stops... what will you do?"
Standing just a few paces away, Zed shifted uncomfortably, clutching an ancient, moss-covered amulet. "Dumas... will this really help me control spirits?"
Dumas sighed, a low, grounding sound. He stepped forward and placed a heavy hand on the younger man's shoulder. "It’s about harmony with the land, Zed. Don't try to rush everything."
Before Zed could answer, a strange, shimmering tear ripped through the air between them. The space warped like hot asphalt, and out tumbled a man who looked entirely out of place, coughing and shaking off a layer of iridescent dust.
Dumas extended a hand, helping the traveler up while examining him with sharp, analytical eyes. "It would appear to me that you somehow have traveled through time and space into our dimension. You have come here by shifting from another plane... in theory, anyway."
The traveler barely had time to orient himself before the heavy iron doors of the sanctuary banged open. Masaki stepped into the chamber, his expression grim. He looked directly at the newcomer, then over to Kiba.
"I am sure you received the warning from the Brain Trust," Masaki said, his voice tight. "Regardless, the fact remains that you were one of the ones who designed this Limitless Fortress. We are no longer safe here."
Just then, the heavy silence of the fortress was shattered by the frantic scuffle of claws and the heavy thud of boots. Spyro the Dragon burst into the room, his scales smoking slightly, closely followed by Dr. Jekyll—though the wild, chaotic glint in his eyes suggested Akabane was currently pulling the strings.
"We've got a massive problem," Akabane told the group, his voice a dangerous mix of Jekyll's refinement and something much more sinister.
Spyro shook his head, sparks flying from his nostrils. "Ripto is back, and he's stronger than ever."
Akabane stepped forward, crossing his arms as a chilling grin spread across his face. "And now, he's not after dragons. He's after dragonflies."
