In the mortal realm Kigai's chilling display of power, the leader of the Flaming Dojo, though defiant, recognized the ominous fear he was feeling in that instant. With a subtle nod, Kigai released his grip, allowing the flame-wielder to stumble back.
As the tension lingered, Kigai spoke with measured calmness,
"I advise you to tread carefully. Mamoru's destiny is intertwined with forces beyond your comprehension."
The Flaming Dojo leader, pride momentarily subdued, regarded Kigai with newfound wariness. Acknowledging the severity of the situation, he grudgingly conceded,
"We won't interfere, but know this—our paths will cross again, and like I said, I don't care if you are the Supreme Commander's son."
With those ominous words, the leader departed, leaving Kigai alone in his treehouse. The tranquil air that once enveloped the space gradually returned, but an unspoken understanding lingered, and Mamoru's fate was far from unraveling.
"Mamoru is always about you."
Kigai whispered in annoyance.
Meanwhile, Mamoru, still immersed in the ethereal realm with Murasaki, sensed a disturbance in the balance. A whisper of uncertainty crept into his mind, hinting at challenges yet to come.
In the serene spirit world, as wisps of energy danced around them, Murasaki fixed her ethereal gaze on Mamoru.
"Mamoru, within the tapestry of fate, a formidable force awaits your confrontation. To break free from the chains of your cursed destiny, you must face it with unwavering resolve."
Mamoru, contemplating the weight of Murasaki's words, nodded solemnly.
"I understand, Murasaki. I'll confront this force, no matter what it takes. It's time to stop running away from my destiny."
With determination etched on Mamoru's face, he returned to the mortal realm, finding his way to the assigned treehouse. There, he encountered Jin and Makoto, Mamoru eager to tell them about his otherworldly experience.
Jin, ever the jovial spirit, grinned and quipped,
"Mamoru, did you bring back any souvenirs from the spirit world? Maybe a mystical trinket or a ghostly companion?"
Mamoru chuckled,
"Unfortunately, Jin, the spirit world doesn't offer souvenirs. But I did gain valuable insights."
Turning to Makoto, he continued,
"Murasaki revealed that I must confront a powerful force to break the chains of my cursed destiny."
Makoto furrowed his brow.
"What kind of force are we talking about here? And how can we help?"
Jin, with a playful smirk, added,
"Maybe it's a force of really stubborn ghosts. We'll need some ghost repellent!"
Mamoru, appreciating the light-hearted moment, replied,
"It's more serious than that, Jin. But your humor always lifts the spirits. I'll need your support as we face whatever challenges lie ahead. Together, we can overcome anything."
