Lore
Dragons dwelled inside the body of their newest descendant, Airi the Kunoichi. Her every breath seemed to exhibit the power of dragons.

Many ninja clans had only come into existence recently, but the mysterious Oriental Dragons had been around for generations. This reclusive clan of ninjas loyally protect the peace and tranquility of the realm using the power of ancient dragons. As the leader of a new generation of ninjas, Airi had not only inherited the title of “Kunoichi”, her incredible talents had also earned the approval of the Ancient Dragon. She has been bestowed with the almighty Dragon’s Mark as well.

As night engulfed day, the elite NInjas led by Airi rushed to save the Temple of Light from the evil forces that surrounded it. using her shadow clone ability, Airi passed with ease through the savage bombardment of black magic. The iron wall made up of thousands of Fallen crumpled beneath her feet. She transformed herself into a sharp blade and hurled herself straight at Maloch, the commander of the Demon Army, leaving a bloody trail of corpses in her wake.

Airi took more and more wounds as she fought her way towards Maloch. By the time she finally reached him, she had defeated nearly all of his demon guards. Airi was punished for her actions with three more mortal wounds. With her strength depleted, Airi realized that she wouldn’t stand a chance in a drawn-out battle, so she activated the last bit of power in her Dragon’s Mark, raise her blade and sliced at Maloch. In that moment, Maloch was unable to lift his own weapon. He was so overcome by the unleashed dragon spirit that he could only use his demon wings to shield himself from Airi’s attacks.

The blade rose and fell. Blood hotter than lava gushed out from a wound in Maloch’s chest and the impregnable demon wings were tattered. The force from Airi’s blade had completely stripped the invincible commander of his combat abilities. Maloch was forced to return to the demon abyss to recover and, in turn, left the demon army their demise.

Airi’s determination, demonstrated in this battle, immediately earned her the respect of everyone. Even the most despicable of demons could not hide their fear of Airi’s blade.
