A Fiend's Love

Sometimes when the soul

is too broken or confused,

it becomes a target of the fundamental darkness,

the innate devil force of the universe.

The soul is given a diluted power

and identity until the advent of its downfall.

This downfall is brought by Taven,

the warden of this dark world.

There is no right or wrong in the eyes of Taven,

only consequences.

This is the battle of the evil

versus the darkness.

Holly, Holly?

Come here baby.

Come here.

Come here, come here.

Yeah.

We found him again.

So he finally arrived?

Yes.

It took a lot of work,

but sources have confirmed.

He's active in our area.

What can I do?

You are the chosen one.

I am?

Yes.

Are you sure they made the right decision?

Never doubt the decision of the COJ.

I know you're ready.

Don't worry.

We'll be staying close by.

Here,

I now bestow you the symbol of honor.

You're now officially Taven.

So, you are the chosen one.

Yes.

Do you know what you're up against?

Please, guide me.

The fundamental darkness

is what you're fighting against.

What does that mean?

Call upon the ultimate evil to counter it.

The ultimate

evil?

Me.

It is what's called

turn poison into medicine.

What's left in you?

Only Taven.

Why wouldn't you stop this evil cycle?

Everything needs a balance.

Without the evil, what's the good?

It's an easy excuse

for avoiding challenging yourself.

No, it's not an excuse,

when you can realize how much power you have.

No, it's not your power.

It's an illusion, lent to you.

Really?

Try this, then.

Let me show you the essence of Taven.

You stopped fighting.

Why?

To protect someone,

and passion.

I will keep coming back.

Rose, are you okay?

Something is not right.

I feel a much more powerful force

than the source has indicated.

I'm worried about Romona.

A more powerful force?

How is that possible?

There is something foreign in him.

A borrowed energy to boost himself.

A borrowed energy.

You can borrow and transfer factions

into actual energy in the form of force.

Chloe?

Hey, Ian.

Just come back from work?

I thought you were practicing with your friend?

I was about to leave.

So how was teaching?

It was fine, just a couple of new students.

Hey, you're drinking my juice again.

Here, have some juice,

and get some rest.

Yeah, I should.

What?

Why?

That guy is poor.

We're going to die anyway.

Let's get out of here and get some drinks.

Okay.

Hey.

Why wasting efforts

protecting those?

Speak!

They're like my family.

They accept me for who I am.

But they may not even appreciate you.

It's okay.

I don't mind.

Follow me,

and I'll spare you.

No.

You are the devil.

What do you expect from me then?

If I put up a good fight,

spare my friends.

It won't be easy.

It's not time yet.

Are you quitting?

Any more?

Hate me or fear me,

you'll feel better.

Something different about the way you played tonight.

So when will you agree to record an album together?

I don't know.

It feels like you're under surveillance

when you're playing for a recording machine.

Knowing you all these years,

this is the weirdest thing about you.

Do you have anything that I can

wipe this?

Dammit, where's my...

What about this?

Who are you?

I just wanted to observe you

before I speak to you.

Hi, my name is Rose.

I'm Ian.

Ian, what I'm about to tell you

might sound a little crazy,

but it's definitely the truth.

Wait a minute.

Okay.

You're the chosen one, Ian.

Am I on TV?

I'm on TV, right?

Am I?

No, you're not.

You have been chosen as the new Taven

to counter the manifestation

of the fundamental darkness.

I'm sorry.

Rose, right?

I don't know what you're talking about.

I understand your response,

but this is dead serious.

I want you to help us fight against Viro.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

I think you're talking to the wrong guy.

All right, I'm a musician, okay?

You will be,

if you allow me to bestow to you

the essence of Taven.

No thanks.

If you'll excuse me, I have to go now, okay?

Best luck to you, Rose.

You will be tested, Ian.

Are you Ian?

I need to talk to you.

You try to disrespect me?

Please, just let me go.

Wait, wait.

Let's talk, all right?

What do you wanna talk about?

I think you guys are looking for the wrong person.

I'm not into mob or anything like that.

Because of you, our friend is dead.

And there's payback time.

What?

No, please.

I didn't cause anyone's death.

You got the wrong guy.

Oh, I'm gonna die.

I'm gonna die.

Oh,

Ian.

can fly.

Hey, what are you doing here?

Do you wanna,

wanna join me?

Actually, will you allow me to walk you home?

What do you want from me?

I didn't do anything.

Who killed their buddies?

What?

Oh no.

He's gonna come after me next.

Who you talking about?

Please, let me go.

He's gonna come for me.

Who is he?

I don't know, a freak.

He appears and disappears out of nowhere.
