With Opal gone, and tensions between Arainia and Mesoha growing, Corr finds now to be the perfect time to cause trouble. He begins by hiring mercenaries to track down artifacts and spy on Arainian leaders. Corr then gathers the strongest of his followers and forms the 7 kage. One of the members, the second most powerful, Kanawe is sent to spy on the Arainian general, Hanmarr.
Senkut district, Arikova, Arania-
“Find an opening, then plant the note on Hanmarr.” Corr tells Kanawe, who asks why he can't just fight hanmarr. Corr gives him a glaring look and says “we don't want to be discovered just yet, causing a scene would be a horrendous mistake.” With his instructions given, Kanawe begins to spy on Hanmarr, watching his every move. After a few hours, Hanmarr boards his personal battle cruiser and takes off.
Kanawe overheard hanmarr saying he was heading to Castle cain. Having heard of castle Cain and its location, Kanawe uses dark magic to hang on to the cruiser as it takes off.
Castle Cain, Arikova-
Hanmarr lands on the landing pad on the left side of castle cain. Kanawe quickly jumps off of the cruiser and waits for Hanmarr to be alone. Hanmarr, standing on a balcony on the left side of the castle walls, begins talking with someone on his phone. Kanawe sneaks up to listen in on the conversation, when he makes a shocking discovery. Hanmarr wasn't alone on the balcony, with him was the current Arainian ruler, Aodhan Riddel. Kanawe stands in shock, not knowing much about castle cain, he had no suspicion that the Arainian leader would be here. Kanawe, also completely overestimating himself and underestimating Aodhan, Kanawe attempts to attack Hanmarr as he turns around to face Aodhan. In a split second, Kanawe is stopped mid swing by a massive and strong force unleashed by Aodhan. Kanawe is thrown against the wall and Aodhan teleports in front of him and holds him to the wall.

“So who might you be?” Aodhan says mockingly, “why would you come here, of all places, to try and attack someone? Are you stupid?” Kanawe, unable to breath is let go, as he fumbles to the ground he mutters, “sudakurai” (massive dark surge), in an instant dark magic fills the area in a massive explosion. Aodhan stands unfazed, having deflected the entire attack, he then says “so you are stupid!” Kanawe, having spent all of his energy in that attack, and being badly injured, falls unconscious.
Fort Killasheye, Arsburg-
Kanawe wakes up in a magically bound cell, as he becomes fully aware of what just happened, he begins to panic. Suddenly, 3 people enter the cell. Sirus, Michael, and Hanmarr all sit in front of Kanawe and start questioning him. “Firstly, who sent you? Secondly, your plan? And lastly, why in the entire free world would you attack Aodhan so blindly?” Kanawe sits there for a moment, weighing his options, he decides that he should tell the truth, thinking that if nobody knows who the 7 kage or Corr is, then nothing bad would come of him being truthful. So he tells the whole truth, why he’s here, who sent him, the whole 9 yards. But when he mentions the name Corr, something terrible is initiated. “So my old student wants war? How, unsurprising” Kanawe sits back in horror of what he just did. He had no idea that the man in the black robe sitting before him was Lord Sirus, guardian of the 8th gate. Fully taking in the situation he is in, Kanawe comes to the conclusion that the man in the red robes must be Lord Micheal, and that Aodhan is the Lord of the 9th seal. Also meaning that Kanawe is extremely lucky to be alive after facing such power. Sirus makes the final decision on Kanawe’s fate, and luckily he decides that Kanawe will be freed. Hanmarr is tasked with transporting Kanawe to a safe spot for release.
As Hanmarr steps out of his Cruiser he is stopped by 2 other members of the 7 kage, Zenurai and shenuaa. They lunge at Hanmarr immediately and blast him with dark magic. Hanmarr is sent falling back to his ship and the three kage leave after destroying his ship.
