...

The wind blows, the force of which launching me to my feet. That doesn't diminish my resolution. Not at all. Nothing will. This fight. It has to be won. And from that letter, a fatal weakness has been found. And I, the harbinger, will reap its death.

Or I'll try.

But that's better than dying. Better than lying face down on the floor waiting for death.

My burns hurt. My eye tries to blink, and all I get is searing pain in response. But I smile. A small thing filled with hope.

Then the warnings. Heh~ That if I were to fail my task well, then we'd all be doomed to a slow, painful death.

But that's the truth, is it not? There was no need for extra motivation.

It's terrifying, and I'd rather not think of it.

After all, a resurrecting monster, one that only grows more powerful with age, yes, that thing cannot be allowed to survive.
