The Heavenly Demon

The man sitting inside the pavilion was the same one Aldrian had seen in his vision at the Temple of the Heavenly Demon in Dual Peak Horns City. His long black hair was like the night sky, His handsome face was unblemished, and he wore a clean red-and-black robe with the symbol of the Heavenly Demon on his back. His eyes were closed in meditation, seemingly indifferent to Aldrian's arrival.

Aldrian stood at the entrance of the pavilion, patiently waiting for the man to finish his meditation. After a few moments, the man slowly opened his eyes, revealing red eyes that seemed to pierce directly into one's soul.

As Aldrian locked eyes with him, a sudden pain seized his head. Grasping it with one hand, he was overwhelmed by a flood of images, as though unknown memories were resurfacing. The man simply stared at Aldrian, offering no help, but once Aldrian managed to regain control, the man smiled.
