Story

Vharga Massacre

Lotusha was the brother of a High Priest who had been responsible for the massacre of the Vharga race in northern Grandis. After Ren, a rabbit Anima assassin, helped the Vharga survivors flee south, Lotusha's brother began to search for Ren, which culminated in a battle with Ren and her Imugi Anima friend, Saya. Both Lotusha's brother and Saya were grievously injured in the battle, with Lotusha's brother eventually succumbing to his injuries. Lotusha was deeply affected by the death of his brother, for which he put out a large bounty all across Grandis to find his brother's killer and bring justice to the deceased. As an officer of the Central Army himself, Lotusha used his position to search for Ren and get revenge for his brother's death.

Finding Ren

As part of a routine inspection, Lotusha and his men sailed to the port city of Vallora, where Lotusha overheard a boy named Gianni denouncing the High Flora. Lotusha immediately confronted the boy, who immediately grew terrified and begged for forgiveness. Lotusha then asked him why he was apologizing before giving him the chance to voice his issues with the High Flora. When Gianni fearfully insisted that he had no problems at all, Lotusha reminded the boy about how he had just denounced the High Flora as murderers. Noting that Gianni had lied on top of slandered, Lotusha ordered his men to arrest the boy. As Gianni begged the gathering crowd for help, some amongst the townspeople noted that Gianni's entire village had been wiped out by the High Flora, while others feared for their safety with the High Flora's arrival, as many of them had fled to the free city of Vallora to escape the war. Meanwhile, Ren - who had settled in Vallora after Saya had gotten injured - watched the scene from afar and noted to herself that though she may have once been able to handle the number of High Flora soldiers present, she had grown far too weak for that now. Because of this, she decided that she would not involve herself, as helping Saya was more important than anything else.

As she rushed off, however, Lotusha noticed her departure and immediately recognized her appearance as the warrior with red eyes and silver hair that was wanted by the High Flora. Believing that he had found her at last, Lotusha noted the irony that after spending so long chasing after her, he had happened to stumble across her by pure chance. Lotusha then ordered one of his men to tail Ren and ascertain that she was indeed her brother's killer. The spy overheard Ren speaking with a merchant to buy a healing elixir for her sick friend and returned back to the ship, where he reported what he had learned to Lotusha. Lotusha grew convinced that Ren was the one who had killed his brother, noting that he had never thought that she would be hiding in such a place all along. From the spy's report, Lotusha concluded that Ren's sick friend was ‘the snake' and hoped to finish them both off at once. He then ordered the spy to find out Saya's hiding place, warning him not to get caught at any cost and threatening to kill the spy himself if he failed.

Soon after, the spy put in an anonymous request with the Traveler's Guild to find an Imugi scale, hoping that he could follow Ren to Saya's hiding spot. The spy followed Ren to Saya's home, though Saya's magical barrier caused Ren to suddenly vanish along the way. The spy then reported back to Lotusha and explained that he had successfully tricked Ren into rushing to Saya's location by posting the commission for the Imugi, though he regretfully noted that he had been unable to find her hideout. Lotusha angrily admonished the spy for his incompetence, to which the spy explained that he had been unable to follow Ren due to some sort of force causing her to disappear. Lotusha then ordered the spy to guide him to the exact spot where Ren had vanished. Lotusha and his soldiers began tailing Ren, who was rushing back to Saya in order to bring her the elixir. Lotusha then watched as Ren disappeared through the barrier. Upon inspecting the area, Lotusha sensed magic and realized that its weakness likely meant that it belonged to a dying Saya. Believing that the barrier would soon disappear with Saya's death, Lotusha ordered his soldiers to stand by and wait until it collapsed and revealed their hidden enemies.

After Saya passed away, Lotusha and his soldiers immediately surrounded Ren, with Lotusha noting that the barrier had finally collapsed with Saya's death. As Lotusha rushed to attack her, Ren asked him whether he was the one who had been looking for the Imugi and demanded to know what he wanted with Saya. Lotusha angrily replied that he sought revenge, and upon seeing that Ren had no idea what he was speaking of, he furiously asked whether she really didn't know, or whether she was merely playing dumb. He noted that if it wasn't bad enough that she had helped the Vharga escape, she had also conspired with Saya to kill the High Flora Priest who had attempted to capture her. Opening a locket, he showed the picture of the Priest to Ren and told her that there was no way that she wouldn't know what he was talking about now. Ren immediately recognized the Priest from the battle in which Saya had been injured, realizing that he was the one who had annihilated the Vharga. Lotusha then revealed himself to be the Priest's brother, explaining that he was the one who had put the bounty on her as he chased after her and Saya.

Ren immediately retorted that his brother had slaughtered innocents and seized their home, just as Lotusha himself had done the same by attacking her home when she and Saya had done nothing to him. She claimed that they had never killed anyone, but merely subdued their pursuers in order to survive. However, Lotusha merely claimed that his brother had done his duty as a High Priest by wiping out worthless outcasts like her. He then claimed that he had wasted years of his life chasing after them with the sole purpose of killing them with his own hands. Realizing that fighting was inevitable, Ren drank the elixir as Lotusha declared that he would send her to Saya in the afterlife. After a fierce battle, Ren defeated Lotusha and his soldiers. A wounded Lotusha noted that even though he hadn't expected to defeat his brother's killer so easily, he had never expected to lose after working for so long to get revenge. Looking at Lotusha in pity, Ren admitted that he had merely missed the window of opportunity, as he would have easily defeated her if he had fought her earlier when she had been much weaker, noting that Saya had saved her life by granting her strength. Furious at himself for failing, Lotusha told Ren to kill him, declaring that he had no intention of begging for mercy. However, Ren replied that she had no intention of killing him now, just as she hadn't intended to kill his brother before. She then told him that she hoped to never see him again before walking away.

Becoming a Monster

Following his humiliating defeat, Lotusha - obsessed with getting his revenge - went to great lengths in order to grow strong enough to defeat Ren. Though unconfirmed, rumors began spreading that Lotusha had become a monster in his quest to attain greater power, with Ren speculating that Lotusha had become a Specter.
