Tenmaru widened his eyes at his hand. His entire was bitten off, only the wrist was left. But there it was, the shape of a palm.
"What... What happened to me?" Tenmaru mumbled.
"I guided you to your destiny." Carter giggled. "You will meet the Werewolf sooner or later. I only made it happen faster. That thing... The power it possessed. It is unimaginable. And now, it is inside you."
Tenmaru gasped. He repeated what the Werewolf last said to him, "A gift..."
"Correct. So please accept my apology for deceiving you. I know you will face it. I know you will be injured. But I also know you won't die.
Because your future was to become the Emperor of Arashi."
Carter was lying, of course. But he was also not. It didn't matter what Fate had arranged for this world. Because he was here. And he could change the trajectory of this world.
If he said Tenmaru would be the next Emperor, then he must be.
