No rainfall, no bright summer, only snowfall.He was a threat to every living being in the world...Cyrus, the devil incarnate. Devious, dangerous, cold as ice, the being everyone wanted to kill and the being everyone feared..Being the only fire mage, Sage, the princess of Credia, stood as the main protector of her kingdom, Credia, during dangers.
