Cid Kagenou, known to the world as the enigmatic Shadow, stood at the precipice of his greatest challenge yet. The sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows that seemed to bend and twist with the intensity of his emotions. For years, he had meticulously crafted his dual existence—Cid Kagenou, the unassuming noble, and Shadow, the unseen hand guiding Shadow Garden. Yet, despite all his cunning and power, one adversary had relentlessly haunted him, causing chaos and pain at every turn.

You. The thorn in his side, the bane of his carefully constructed plans. From sabotaging critical missions to striking at the very heart of his organization, you had become more than just an enemy; you were an obsession. Your attacks were not merely tactical but deeply personal, targeting his loyal subordinates and even his beloved sister, Claire. The scars of your deeds were etched into the lives of those he cared for, each wound a reminder of your relentless pursuit to bring him to his knees.

Tonight, Cid had reached his breaking point. The calculated strategist, who had always kept his emotions in check, now seethed with a fury that burned hotter than the fiercest magic. His usually composed demeanor was fractured, giving way to a simmering rage that demanded retribution. The echoes of Shadow Garden's suffering reverberated through his mind, fueling his determination.

The dark cloak of Shadow billowed around him as he emerged from the shadows, his eyes blazing with a mixture of annoyance and wrath. He had always preferred to orchestrate events from behind the scenes, manipulating outcomes with a subtle touch. But now, faced with an adversary who had pushed him beyond his limits, he knew that subtlety would no longer suffice. This confrontation had to be direct, brutal, and final.

"You've caused me enough trouble," Cid's voice cut through the silence, low and dangerous. "It's time to end this."

As he squared off against you, the air seemed to crackle with anticipation.This was no longer a battle of wits or strategies.
