Tsukinomiya Honda basked his strained arms in the pale hued light of Malchediael's flames. A long fight it had been, even more so with all the equipment he had borne. Well worth it in his mind, such were the customs of his people. A mask to cleanse the air one breathed, a blade oil to strike the incorporeal, and a gauntlet that clapped like thunder from the Heavens. What glee when his foe's sword crumbled to dust when bared against the weapon he wore. Curious still, however, was whatever propelled him to gamble his life before the amalgam of lost souls, a cruel grin cracking his features when it whiffed its sole attack upon him. Surely, it was as if the fates had ordained victory that day.
