Jin had been a lot of things since he came to this world. He had been a lord, a slave, betrayed, and every other thing in between.
And all these things had come together to make him into what he was today. A bitter cynical being who sometimes only cared for the best way to win. They had built him into a hard cold machine of logic.
And that was the reason why he slightly hated himself when he actually contemplated the options he had been given.
It was only for a second, but he still hated himself.
"You're insane," he said to the boy, bringing his sword to bear. A golden ripple opened behind him, "You're not leaving here with either one of them"
Apophane blinked in surprise before he shook his head and sighed in disappointment, "And I thought you were different"
There was a moment of silence between the two before Jin sprung into action.
Boom!!
1.5 seconds.
