Chapter 1: Unbalanced!

There used to be 10 shishinken beasts. They were Ryukiba (Dragon), Byakuren(Deer), kurokami(black panther),Seirakko(Saber toothtiger ),Shinkuzame(Shark)

,Raijaku(Jakel), Juryoku(Gorilla),Fuyumon (white leopard),Hakuro(Wolf) and Mizuchi(Water serpent) but after kael got found his shishinken of the pheonix he became one of them. The shishinken have power to manipulate energy and sense it

There was another team of arashi named Abyssal Legion . Their leader was Lord Nihilux, He was defeated by Kael but they didn't know Xalither took his place and led an army of abyssal knights to waganama Later

Shishinkengot the news and tracked them down.(at the base)

"If They appointed a new leader and they're still in serviced. We need to do something.

We can't just stand here. So, what's the plan?"Kael said

"Well, we don't have much to do, do we?"Said Raijaka,

"Let's go straight and attack. How about that?"

Raijaku replied "Are you crazy, Raijaku?"

Said Mizuchi "We can't just go out there and tell We're here to battle you. Without a plan

"Well... Makes sense" said Raijaku

"What if we sneak attack them?" Asked kael

"Okay. Kyle is going somewhere"

Mizuchi said

"Kurokami, you're gonna have the biggest part of this role. You need to go and find their next move and find their plans. Got it?"

"Yes sir!"kurokami replied

He finds out their next move is to karaman,He report to Kael right away and gets on the way to Karaman. By the time the abyssals got there the Shishinken were ready before the abyssals could step in the city they surrounded them and the knightsgot a crashing defeat but Captain Major Azrathar was left he turn into a Flame and dispeared

The battlefield lay silent, save for the occasional crackle of scorched debris. The Shishinken warriors stood victorious, yet uneasy. The Abyssal Legion had been crushed, but an eerie presence lingered in the air.

Then, the wind shifted.

A sudden gust howled through the ruins, carrying an unfamiliar energy. From the horizon, a lone figure emerged. His armor shimmered between silver and deep blue, shifting with the light as if reflecting unseen forces. His posture was poised yet cautious, his sword resting at his side, humming with a strange energy—one Kael couldn't quite place, yet it felt familiar.

Kael instinctively tightened his grip on his weapon. "Who are you?"

The others turned to face the stranger, their battle instincts sharpening.

The man stopped a few paces away, studying them with an unreadable expression. Then he spoke.

"...My name is Zephyr." His voice was steady, but there was something uncertain in it, as if he himself wasn't sure what had brought him here. "I don't know who you are, but... I felt something pulling me here. Something I can't explain."

Mizuchi frowned. "Pulling you?"

Zephyr nodded. "One moment, I was traveling alone. The next, I felt this presence—a force guiding me here." He scanned their faces. "And now that I see you, I think I understand. You're not ordinary warriors, are you?"

Byakuren narrowed his eyes. "You know something about us?"

"No," Zephyr admitted. "But I know that your presence—all of you—resonates with

something ancient. Something powerful. And it's connected to what's coming."

Kael exchanged glances with his comrades. There was no deception in Zephyr's voice, yet something about him felt off—as if he was standing at the edge of a truth he hadn't yet realized.

Raijaku scoffed. "And what exactly is coming, stranger?"

Zephyr hesitated. Then, with a troubled expression, he said, "The world is falling out of balance."

Silence fell over the group.

Kael frowned. "What do you mean?"

Zephyr turned his gaze toward the horizon, where the sky had begun to darken once more. "The forces that sustain this world—the elements themselves—are beginning to unravel. I've been seeing the signs. Storms where there should be none. Earthquakes in lands untouched by fault lines. Rivers drying up overnight."

The Shishinken warriors exchanged glances. This was news to them.

Mizuchi crossed his arms. "And how exactly do you know this?"

Zephyr exhaled. "Because I've been tracking it. And the source of the first major

disturbance lies in the south. There is a place—an ancient structure—where fire once burned in harmony with the world. But now... it's becoming unstable."

The warriors stared at him, confused.

Kael spoke first. "...What are you talking about? What structure?"

Zephyr's eyes flickered with realization. "You don't know, do you?"

No one answered.

Zephyr took a step forward. "There are elemental shrines—ancient places tied to the balance of nature itself. They were built long ago to keep the world in harmony. But now, something is disrupting them. If they collapse, the forces they hold back will be unleashed. The first to fall will be the Fire Shrine."

He turned toward the distant south. "And when it does, the lands beyond Waganama will be reduced to ash."

A heavy silence followed.

Kael clenched his fists. "You're saying... we need to stop this?"

Zephyr nodded. "If we don't, this war you're fighting? It won't matter. There won't be a world left to fight for."

For the first time, the Shishinken warriors felt truly uncertain. They had spent their lives honing their abilities, believing their mission was to battle forces like the Abyssal Legion. But this?

This was something far greater.

Raijaku exhaled. "Well... That's just perfect. As if we didn't have enough problems."

Seirakko growled. "And how exactly do we stop it?"

Zephyr hesitated. The truth was, he didn't fully know. He had followed his instincts here, but something inside him knew that these warriors—whoever they were—were the key.

"I don't have all the answers," he admitted. "But I know one thing: We have to reach the Fire Shrine before it's too late."

Kael took a deep breath, then turned to his comrades. He could see it in their eyes—they didn't know if they could trust Zephyr yet. But if he was right... they couldn't afford to ignore his warning.

"Then we move," Kael said firmly. "We'll figure out the rest on the way."

The Shishinken warriors prepared themselves for a journey unlike any before. And as Zephyr followed them, a strange energy stirred deep within him—an energy that, for now, he couldn't understand.

But soon, he would.

And when the truth finally came to light, it would change everything.

The Battle for Balance has begun
