Chapter 81: Tsubame Gaeshi: Tenfold

The wind is the symbol of freedom. It has a free flow, fair to everyone, and most of all, a guide. But sometimes it could also be interconnected with destruction and subjugation as it brings someone or something under its control.

The birds for example are those who are being subjugated by the wind. It is, however, a price they are paying due to riding the wind's domain. But what about humans? Are they really free like the wind? Those are the questions posed when one dons the Mask of the Bird. The woes of the Sixth Herald, who is said to be the one presiding over the wind.
