    Two boys are born under extraordinary circumstances, carrying powers that could tip the balance of the world. Kenji Ishikawa, raised in isolation by a secretive assassin village, is a master swordsman (cold, precise, and deadly) but his powers of shadow remain raw, unpredictable, and feared even by him. Tenshi Nakamura, the king's son, radiates hope and light, trained to protect and inspire, carrying an ancient amulet that holds secrets of the prophecy and reacts to forces beyond his understanding. When fate draws them together, Kenji's shadows clash with Tenshi's light, and their encounter sparks events that neither boy can fully control. Friend or foe? Weapon or savior? As darkness and light collide, only their combined strength can uncover the truth of the prophecy and the fate of the world itself. PLEASE NOTE: This story has two main protagonist therefore it will be told from two different perspectives This story has a slow build up so have patience and you will not be disappointed This story will have an anime adaptation in the future so the style is a bit unusual The tags are just for recognition
