Walking calmly around the capital streets, Chris Falcon found something curious. A tattered rag that was used by scholar magi, with a few bloodstains on both the fabric and the ground. Looking carefully at the clothing, he saw a man breathing heavily and moaning in intense pain.
 
[color=1a7b30]"Help me... please... it hurts me so much!" [/color]

Chris quickly rushed to the alley where the man was agonizing. He saw Zafiria's tutor suffering from the heat of the fever and the wound inflicted by the ghoul. Luckily, he had some spare medicine on his pocket and used on the magus. Soon, his body temperature lowered and the pain was dulling. 

[color=1a7b30]"Thank you... who... who are you?"[/color], muttered the man, as he struggled to move his body as Chris made a sign for the man to halt. He noticed that the young ninja had fierce, vivid blue eyes and he widened his own eyes. [color=1a7b30]"Oriental blue...?"[/color]

[color=0072bc]"Please, rest."[/color] The young wanderer's tone of voice was calm, yet firm. The magus asserted with a smile to his savior. [color=0072bc]"Stay here, for I will slay any of the enemies you shall have in this world."[/color] Chris led the man to a place where he could rest, and he heard another hissing growl. Nearly panicking, the man screamed, but the attack was easily intercepted by a quick strike of a sword. 

[color=1a7b30]"M-monster!"[/color] Finally, the mentor saw the ghoul that attacked him. Some guards came to see the commotion, but froze in place with the sight of the ghoul looking furiously at them. Their fear kept them at bay, but only Chris stood firm, staring deep into the eye of the creature. A flame burned deep within his heart, and a smile formed on his face. 

[color=0072bc]"Come, show me your comrades, fiend. I know you are not alone."[/color] The shock was bigger when the guards and the mentor witnessed three other ghouls appearing. Instead of running, the guards stood there, trying to figure out what was going on. Chris in the other hand, closed his eyes. A whirlwind formed around his body, and the three other men looked in awe as they witnessed that the cute female magician apprentice was, actually, a mysterious masked warrior with a majestic red scarf flowing with the wind.

Zafiria's mentor was mesmerized with the sight. He started to mutter quietly, [color=1a7b30]"In a time of which great evil roamed the lands... people called the heavens for help. The falling star was revealed to be a warrior as mysterious as a shadow, with eyes that sparkled with the flames of Justice..."[/color]

To which Chris remained silently. On that moment, the Ghoul jumped to attack him. [color=1a7b30]"OH, BE CAREFUL!"[/color] A loud shout was heard, and everything went black for a moment.

Then, a loud hiss was heard. The ghoul that attacked him was sliced in half, his dead body vanishing into a small smoke of ashes as the scarf kept swinging with every movement. Panic turned into amazement as the swift movements of the ninja warrior countered every single slash and his swords moved in a fearsome dance of death. 

The second ghoul was less subtle and stealthy on its attack, charging furiously and aiming its fist towards Chris' heart. However, he was prepared, and two clean slashes were more than enough to annihilate the monster. Realizing defeat, the third ghoul tried to run, but it was intercepted with an explosive kunai that turned his body into ashes with the blast. 

As he finished slaying all of his enemies, Chris returned to his civilian clothing with the whirlwind again. When he looked to see the men who were watching him, he smiled. The guards shook hands with him and soon the mentor got up, coming close to the ninja.

[color=1a7b30]"You... you saved me! You're a hero! Yes! A hero! Your eyes don't lie. I know it."[/color]

[color=0072bc]"Hmmm... thank you, but who are you, sir? I mean. I was just passing by and heard a commotion."[/color]

[color=1a7b30]"I'm Ramirez. I'm a magus and the mentor of wind magic to Princess Zafiria."[/color]

[color=0076a3]"I am Chris Falcon. Pleased to meet you."[/color]

On that moment, the tutor was more than amazed. 

[color=1a7b30]"Then you are..."[/color]
