To White Lightning:

Nightstalker smiled.
"You don't......remember?"

*flashback, Bevelle Temple*
Two men are fighting, one in black, one in white, both with katanas. The man in white strikes down the man in black time and time again.

"I couldn't beat you, no matter how hard I tried. You were always a better warrior than I was. I tried so hard......"

Nightstalker clenched his fist.

"I made it my mission to train hard, grow stronger, so that one day, one day I could beat you, White Lightning. When I learned that you were travelling with the Summoner, and what my master had planned, I knew that I could kill two birds with one stone."

He looked at the other man with determination on his face.

"What do you say you give me that chance? First blood, not to the death. I would be honoured to fight you once more, to see if I can beat you. Can you grant me that one wish?"

To Tora:

"Just......a special friend of mine."
He put the locket away and looked at White lightning.
"Well?"
