Z, The Old World

San is host to a legion of warriors who fell in battles long past. He embodies a multitude of resentments, an inheritance bequeathed by the enraged spirits. Having inherited the stripes of a hundred strengths and the echoes of a hundred pain, he became Z. Through this ancestral right, he would suffer the torment of their past until he could inflict it himself.

He was meant to do the bidding of his forebears. So, on the battlefield, he championed the conflict, quelling the rage of the living. But, unknown to his people, he harmed not a single soul. Never unto helpless remnants of past wars— the youth. There and there, the passing of a hundred hatred, broken.

By sparing the next generation, he would endure the hatred of the dead alone. He exhausts his life to carry the burden of an old battle he knew nothing of. Z has a vision of the future beyond black and white, past allies and foes, even for a man without eyes to see. The old world with him, and to the young anew.
