Philip Mrown, an aspiring hero, saw his best friend, along with thousands of others, get destroyed in front of him, in an incident involving dark energy. Investigating the incident, he discovers that it was caused by one of the three Eyre stones, objects of great power that, when put together, can fulfil any wish. 

Philip deduces that a war will break out over these stones, and decides to take part in order to prevent anyone from making a wish with evil intentions, but what does he really want?

Element/Zero

 A few hundred meters away from the New Delta suburb, Philip encountered Willo and a suspicious looking man. Upon seeing him, he instantly realized that this man was related to the mysterious voices he was hearing. He could feel the air around him getting heavier and heavier. A pressure that threatened to creak his bones. 


 Willo approached him. She is breathing raggedly, so he assumed she had been fighting the strange man. 


 -Is this why you were acting so strange, Chico? Did you know about this guy? 


 -I'd never seen him before, but Bill had warned me about someone patrolling this area. Also... I've felt his power. 


 The man saw the worried faces of both boys and smiled slightly. 


 -Calm down, I don't want to fight, but if I'm attacked I will obviously respond. 


 -Did you attack him? -Philip looked incredulously at Willo who ducked his head in embarrassment. 


 -It's just that his appearance intimidated me a little.
