This invitation heralded a new chance at life, allowing Kirke to escape the confines of his disliked occupation and embrace a brighter path. | |||

With the hatchet-like blade of his scythe now drawn out to champion the cause of the Liberation Army, Kirke showcased his mettle on the battlefield. | |||
