Somewhere within Backlund

"How interesting." Amon didn't even blink as he stared down into the busy streets. After being 'defeated' by Klein Moretti, he had taken on a more personal journey to discover what had pushed the now Half-Lord of Mysteries to nearly sacrifice himself to beat "Him."

Does this mean that you value your life more than I imagined? You do like thrills and seek it for pleasure, but to do so regardless of the price is just an image you portray. How can a real God of Deceit wager a bet with 'Himself' at stake? Those words stuck to "Him" like a Demoness's plague. To him, there is something more important than life. To you, apart from yourself, there is nothing worth caring about. When matters develop to a point where one needs to put their life on the line, it would imply your loss. Or maybe this was just "His" brother's way of trying to reform "Him"? Whatever the case may be, it intrigued "Him" enough for "Him" to find the answers.

Now, after years of not seeing solid ground, "He" had returned. Discreetly, of course. And judging by the lack of interference, "He" surmised that he had the approval of Mr. Fool to set foot back into the world. How long this would last, though, "He" couldn't quite guess. "Now then, I suppose I should follow my brother's instructions..." "He" adjusted the monocle on "His" right eye and gazed toward the direction of Intis, more specifically, where Cordu Village lay.
