A few minutes before he awakened, his conscious mind was stuck in a mysterious dark void.
There, Elric felt like he was nothing. As if he did not exist and he was just part of the empty space. Floating aimlessly, not knowing the difference between reality and illusion. It was like the ultimate form of senselessness.
The curse of the blade from the Dark realm was known to be the ultimate weapon that even the Kings and other higher beings feared. An ancient artifact with a mysterious background which was the main target of Kahayag's last mission.
As the greatest warrior from the Realm of Light, she was tasked to secure the cursed knife from the evil hands of the Kings from the Dark Realm, only to end up tempted to its power which eventually leads to her current demise.
Kahayag even received a stern warning from her fellow warriors about the temptation of power the cursed knife brings, and now it was too late for her.
