I opened my eyes. My view slowly widened, revealing a world wrapped in a dark red fog. The feeling of being alone in the dark assailed me. But I wasnt alone. Not far away, someone was calling my name.

Deculein.

His tone was as thick as poison and pressured my heart. Unusual emotions rose from the bottom of my chest. It was a long-forgotten fear.

Son.

The only man Deculein feared, the father he hated, and the previous head of the Yukline family, Decalane. He looked down at Deculein with his dark red eyes as he spoke.

Find a suitable bowl.

Decalanes voice, hand gestures, eyes, and atmosphere all of those memories flowed through Deculeins feelings. My back stiffened, and chills ran down my spine. My whole soul felt like it was trembling.
