3 Pillars

The moment Kai stepped forward, refusing to allow fate to decide his course, a million forces descended upon him. It was as if all the armies of the divine came down at once in an attempt to stop him. Yet not even they would be able to dominate his will.

Forging his own path, with each step he heard a cry of anguish and victory. Underneath his boots were both sworn enemies and close family. Yet he continued forward, unwilling to allow them to dominate his desires.

Moving onward through opposition and grief, Kai was met with his own fire. Unlike before, this wasn't something he could just shrug off. After all, the fire was essentially an extension of himself.

That's the real reason he applied his smell to it. Not that lie about some Chucadori nose he made up for himself. He and his fire might as well have been as indistinguishable as a shadow and its host.
