Returning through the Rift (1).

Cain was supported through the shadows by Evangeline.

"You know, taking all this work on yourself all the time isn't a good idea." Evangeline suddenly said as they traveled through the shadows.

Taking in the surreal feeling of being dragged through the illusive shadows of the fragmented lands, Cain answered absentmindedly,

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

Evangeline shrugged, "Always taking on the responsibility of risking your life will be the death of you one day."

Cain chuckled, 'Ha! That already happened!'

Clearing his throat, he gave Evangeline an answer to her unspoken question,

"If you are asking why I like fighting the biggest and the worst of them all, it's nothing complicated. Growth..."

Evangeline's lips trembled, "Haha... You bastard."

Cain grinned, "If fighting and killing strong beings makes me stronger, then I have no problems with it."
