Corran Hebi was leaning against the railing of the train station. He was above ground, this was the train leading to the outskirts of Mushiyori. There was a breeze throughout the city. It picked up the debris of juice cans and foliage and spun them endlessly around the city streets. There was a small group of school girls who were huddled together on the platform, talking about their classes or television or each other - nothing thrilling. Any other time, Corran would have been eavesdropping on them. This day however, was different. Something was wrong in the city. The air was stale, and the smell was acrid. Things were...off.

The train pulled into the stop and the young girls got inside. Corran didn't. He heard the audio signal asking patrons to step away from the closing doors, and then the train took off away from the station. The wind from the train rushing by blew Corran's hair and tie askew. He hardly noticed. He was lost in thought. Things were becoming so strange in the world. He had left demon world, ashamed of his own skin. The latest king of Demon world had taken over his reign and things were already slipping. Shura. Corran was there to witness Shura's fight with Yomi in the first Demon World tournament. Corran was impressed with his strength but not with his attitude. He was brash, shortsighted, and hot-headed. How would he do as a ruler? Only time will tell now.

He turned his back on the platform and opted to walk back into the city. He was one step from the ground when he felt it. There was a strange ripple of energy - Demon energy. Corran's eyes widened. Who is that in this city? And just as suddenly as he had felt it, it was instantly gone - vanished. Corran prided himself on knowing the major players of the city. It was what he was good at. But that spiritual pressure, so quick to appear and just as quick to disappear. He looked up to the city skyline. Things were changing, and something was coming.

Corran reached into his pocket and pulled out his flip phone. He dialed the number he called the most since he's moved into the city...
