Humanity... Wherever it has made the hardest of all starts, and lifted itself out of mere brutality, it surely is a sacred spot. Love and compassion are seen as necessities but they are purely luxuries. And yet humanity cannot survive without them. Though there are beings outside this scope, these seemingly hard-bound set of rules humans are set by. These beings are bound by another set of laws. Entities comprised of prime elemental power and energy. Each of them possessed powerful dominion over their element, the most powerful of them were the Solar, Flame and Earth Courts as those were the elements in the Wind Country which were most present. There also existed lesser courts as well and while the various courts never bent knee to any one leader nor were bound to any court in servitude, none could contest the size and affluence of the Prime Courts, but I won't bore you with the history lesson.
Hues of copper and amber danced across the amalgamation's eyes as he stood upon his balcony, staring into the setting sun, at his estate so graciously gifted to him by Lord Sousuke. A. blending of these core rules, this humanity and its counterpart known as Ancients. Kaen was what you might call a Hybrid. One side of him, humanity, and in that goodwill, compassion, love, kindness, etc. The list goes on. The other something much older and commanding, dominant in nature. Incidentally this particular part of nature found it's home in the Flame Court. Oppressive heat dominated the other Courts, their only 'rule' (because all Ancients have a rule) is a love for battle. And of course the law of 'Survival of the Fittest'.
Yes, Shinku Kaen was an Ancient, in a sense. Not fully swayed to one side or another. He still had parts of his humanity left, despite the intense fusion of Ancient DNA. Constant ebb and flow of the pulling of the natures plagued Kaen since childhood, never being able to fully embrace one side or another. It was time, the hybrid thought, for a change. To finally choose a side, a path to venture down instead of continually standing at the fork in the road. Kasen, Kaen's younger sister, had been at the center of his world since they were children, a individual to protect and nurture as they grew up. But Kasen was gone now, his sole remaining link to anything humanity had to offer. What was left but ashes in the wake of a utter desolation and pain, the path Kaen had forged thus far had been treacherous and full of bad choices. It was time to make the correct choice, the only logical step forward in this wayward journey known as the legacy of Shinku Kaen, the Flame Court Hybrid. Yes, it was time to let go of the past and embrace the change, he planned on ascending to a fully fledged Flame Court Ancient. He just needed a little bit of guidance...
