~Takezo Kensei ~

Dragon came to Kensei’s palace to collect on their deal.

The Dragon demanded the life of the princess.

Kensei refused and cut out his own heart, handed it to the dragon and said, “My love is in here. Take it.”

And then he died.

When the Dragon saw what Kensei was willing to sacrifice for his love he was so moved that he replaced Kensei’s heart and breathed fire-life back into the swordsman.
