The Brewing Storm

Ryo followed Elena to a quiet place, away from the inn and anyone else.

They arrived on a natural pond where the moonlight  was reflected on its mirror-like shallow water.

"So, why are we here?" Ryo asks.

"I want to talk with you and Kuryu. Could you ask him out?"

Ryo only shrugged his shoulders and took out his black katana.

"Come out Kuryu,"

The jet-black aura emitted from the blade and Kuryu appeared before them in his humanoid form.

Even though Kuryu was aware of what Elena wanted to talk about, he remained silent for the moment.

"Is it alright, Kuryu?"

"If you are really eager to know his true nature, you better be prepared for the burden that's yet to come, Elena."

Ryo was confused, "My true nature? What do you mean?"

Elena prepares her heart for Ryo's reaction beforehand, she carefully chooses the right words.
