The late afternoon wind was the only thing between Mazuka and this boy. Mazuka kept looking at the boy, then back at his system status. Although he would have loved to fight, this was not an opponent he could take on, and even he knew that.
"What is your name?" Mazuka asked as a formality, though he already knew.
"My name? Oh... what was the boy's name again? Ashima? Aiden?... Ah, yes. You can call me Aiden Darkshadow, the prince of the Demon Kingdom," the boy replied, almost as if he had forgotten his own name. Truth be told, he really did seem to have forgotten it.
*Demon Prince?* Mazuka thought. *Maybe that's why he's powerful. Wait, no way. His father was weak.*
"You'd better retreat and live to fight another day," the black-haired boy said. The way he spoke was so neutral, with a poker face that made you listen. However, Mazuka had not only failed to complete his mission, but he couldn't take down a child.
