There was a clear puzzled look on Alba's face. Her and the rest of the Crimson Crane had no idea, but when she spotted the eyes that were looking at her, she had to quickly straighten her back and put a serious look back on her face.

"I am a single person, and although you can listen to me, I might not always be here. Which is why I am making the Crimson Crane an extension of me.

"They are to become a clan that makes sure there are those that keep the peace. They can recruit new members that will help with this cause.

"And if you're asking who will keep them in check, then there is a way," Raze claimed.

"I'm sure some of you have heard of the items that I create and the powers that I have. I will bind the Crimson Crane to follow a set of rules, not allowing them to abuse their power.

"If that power is abused and doesn't follow the set rules, then they will be punished by the Curse and lose their life. This is not just something anyone who had a mass amount of power will accept."

The other clan members understood that. The Crimson Crane was probably the most powerful clan in all of Pagna right now.

Depending on who had that power, different people would do different things. To force their way on others, to rule them with an iron fist.

But to sacrifice themselves, to be bound by these rules when they were already at the top, it wasn't something a lot of warriors would do. It wasn't the role that anyone at the top would be willing to accept.

"If that is everything, then the meeting can be closed out, and we can further discuss the finer details of it all over the next few days."

There were grumbles, murmurs, and those who doubted the plan would actually work, or if it would benefit them.

In a lot of ways, those from the Dark Faction and Demonic Faction felt like they had come out of it at a loss.

They had won the war, so why did it feel like all of their power now had just turned into nothing?

Yet none of them could say anything due to the person that was making the requests.

"Alright everyone, break free!" Rayna said.

The room soon cleared out, with many giving gratitude to Raze before he left. As the room emptied out, Raze then walked over to the Crimson Crane at the back.

"A little heads up would have been nice?" Alba said. "I had no idea about all of this…plan of yours."

"It's because I was sorting out the finer details. It's hard to create a complete system," Raze said. "And about what I said before, it was a lie.

"Maybe if I researched into it, I could create such a curse, but I plan to do no such thing to the Crimson Crane."

There was a sense of relief that went over many of those that were there.

"However, I think it's important for the other clans to believe that this is the case. I'm sorry for being selfish. Since I will no longer be part of this world, I have to pass this role onto you. Of course, you are free to decline."

Alba stood up from her seat and then looked back at the rest of the Crimson Crane.

"We were nothing but an infamous wanderer guild in the world of Pagna, with no place to call home.

"And now, we are the ones who get to deliver fear into them all, of course I accept."

There were large smiles spread across all of their faces, and with their cursed weapons that could be handed down to the future Crimson Crane members, she was sure that now a legacy for the group she had created had been created today, which had always been her dream.

"Raze…I know you don't like being touched, but..can I thank you for all of this, for this entire journey?" Alba asked.

Raze then put out his hand, allowing for a handshake. When Alba saw this, she jumped forward and hugged Raze tight suddenly.

Fighting himself to push herself away, he allowed it, at least for this moment. "ERMMM!" Rayna loudly cleared her throat, which caused Alba to pull away.

"Raze…remember to let us say a proper goodbye when you go. Don't just leave without saying anything; you can't do that to us after everything we've been through."

Not giving a verbal answer, Raze nodded with a warm smile, and that's when he noticed Zon appearing by his side.

"I would like to propose the same thing," Zon claimed. "Raze is not the only one that will be leaving; me and Anna, the two of us, will also be heading back to Trozon."

Raze didn't forget his promise. He would use the golden globe to send them back first, as well as the other members of Alter that didn't come from Pagna.

At least those that wanted to go back. Through talking, what he did find out, was that there were also those that wished to stay.

Those that had created a life in Pagna that was better than their old one and didn't want to leave. "I do have to ask?" Zon said. "When you head for Alterian, are you taking anyone with you?"

Looking back, Raze turned to look at both Liam and Safa.

"Before I was reluctant to, but I am not the will of everyone here, you are free to do as you wish, anyone that wants to come with me can…but know that my journey is not done, and it might be very dangerous," Raze claimed.

"Of course we're coming!" Liam shouted. "We said we would; me and Safa are going to be with you to the end."

Raze turned away, but there was a smile he couldn't contain.

"If that's the case, then I have something to give you, Liam," Zon said as he walked over, then slapped the back of Liam's neck.

"That is the latest and state-of-the-art system that Red had used. Now, Liam, you are the most powerful system user there is."
