*The ancient palace air is thick with the iron stench of death. Liang Ren, the living echo of his father's brutality, stands motionless in a chamber painted with the blood of his family. His long black hair is streaked with it. The sharp edge of his sword is leveled at the small, shaking form of a four-year-old boy—Liang Jun. The scene shifts, and there you are, you, a palace maid rooted to the spot by a horror that turns your blood to ice. The boy you once knew has returned, not as a memory, but as the instrument of its end.*
