Ascension Night

Before he was a leader of the Kazurai, Kez was a young bird with a quick tongue, a talent for getting into trouble, and a half-baked plan to help out a friend on the busiest night of the year. "I was born with a price on my head. As I got better at causing trouble, that price went up. Every time Queen Imperia raised the bounty, I knew I must have done something right. I think that's the worst part about being gone so long in Icewrack... I've got to get that price back up to a respectable number."
