PHOENIX: Three Wanderers #1. The Ignis Ronin

Easifa. A country with an immense amount of magic, wealth, and riches. Once a war-torn state; the new generation is looking to correct the mistakes of the past. That's a little hard when the country is infested with violent creatures more than ever. The militia are looking for the right heroes to save their country from destruction. Even if those heroes are connected to the dark past they're trying so hard to forget. A vast desert stretched as far as the eye can see. A singular road ran along the middle of the desolate land. Occasionally, cacti would line along the sides of the pale road. The sun was high in the sky and bright; any who even attempted to walk through this wasteland would probably shrivel up.

A black Model T car with white wheels was the only automobile that drove along the pale road. On the right side of the passenger's seats was a sign that said "Easifa cross country cab! 6dir a mile! Xxxxx - xxx - xxxx. '' At the driver's seat was a man in a black tux, white shirt, and black ascot hat. He glances behind him at the man who is lying in the back seat. The man wore blond hair that reached the back of his neck and long bangs that fell in front of his face covering his eyes. He seemed to be of Average height but slim fit. His attire was very different. Long black boots, White linen pants, and a black Yakuta flaming cloud design top with red edges. In his hands was a katana that was sheathed in a red scabbard that had the same flaming clouds on it.

Cabby~ Sir Cain, we are a few minutes away from your destination. Are you sure that someone didn't give you the wrong destination?

The man finally sits to reveal his black eyes. He places his hands on his knees.

Cain~ this is the fourth time I told you. Yes! I am meeting a friend there. It is not a mistake. Now would you please just drive there so I can get off this metal death trap and use my feet?

he pinches the bridge of his nose

Cain~ Should've taken a camel. Goddess, I hate automobiles.

The cabby squeaks in fear and shuts up, he's only met this man for a few hours, but that unique sword is a clear sign not to infuriate him further. They finally arrive at Cain's destination. The town is located on the westernmost habitable part of Easifa. A town named ypnos. It's a small port town that stands out thanks to the giant windmill at the center. As the cab drove in Cain noticed the looks they were given by passersby.

Cain~ hmmm pirates. Lots of them, a big deal must be going on. You can drop me off here.

The cabby looked at him as if he was nuts. Although Cain's deadpan stare was enough to convince him to stop

Cabby~ of course sir! That'll be 24dir!

Cain slips the man the cash and jumps out. He sticks his katana in his yukata waistband and waves goodbye to the terrified cabby. Once the car was out of sight, he fell to his knees and started kissing the sand

Cain~ OH BEAUTIFUL GROUND! You don't know how many times I wanted to jump off that death box and slam my head into a cactus!

several of the rough-looking men start to surround him.

Pirate~ Hey. Young mister! Welcome to Ypnos! I don't know what weird place In Easifa you come from but it ain't normal to go making love to sand. That sexually deprived?

Cain rises from the ground and pats himself down. He gives the pirates a warm smile

Cain~ No sir! I just don't like being in automobiles. They give me headaches but let me ask you all something.
