...XAYASHI...
...REBEL'S...
Deadly and dexterous, Xayah is a Vastaya nation willing to declare war to protect its people. He used speed, gimmicks, and sword-sharp feathers to cut off anyone who blocked his path. Xayah fights alongside his partner and also his lover, Rakan, to protect all his people, and restore their race back to glory.
When he was a child, Xayah was very happy to hear his father tell stories about the heroes of Vastaya. His rhythm was so stuck in his head to this very moment, like a subtle spirit wandering in this realm of the physical world. But with the emergence of a new generation, humans came and emerged as landlords, creating distance, and bringing chaos to Ionia for their own purposes. Not wanting to see his people go extinct just like that, Xayah did not want to just accept his destiny and try to fight against humans.
He wandered from village to village outside of his residence and learned about the outside world. A group of starving people once tried to rob him, some of them wanted to steal the fur that Xayah had as a treasure they could sell. The rest were frightened by his strange appearance. Unwilling to waste time, Xayah taught them a lesson by eliminating them mercilessly.
Disappointed by what he finds out there, he continues to search for his people, especially his father, who has disappeared without a trace. The great temple of Vastaya has been engulfed by an unusual dark magic power, opening a gateway connecting with the spirit world. Xayah destroyed the temple to eliminate the magic. At the same time, magic then spread throughout the land. The scenery was so beautiful, but Xayah still could not find her people.
After many years of entering and leaving the village, and leaving many bodies after he left, people finally began to refer to him as “The Violet Raven.” He lives alone, focused only on one mission, and the step he takes is for the freedom of his people.
Xayah ignored what he had just seen earlier and intended to continue his mission. After everything was done, Xayah could easily escape thanks to the crowd created by that fellow named Rakan.
Although in his heart it never occurred to meet with Friend again, Xayah apparently never stopped thinking about his figure. It felt strange and so complicated; like a light that warmed his soul.
After leaving the city, Xayah still continued to be haunted by that feeling. To the extent that he was framed by the merchants who wanted to loot him. He was expecting a fight, and of course was eager to spill blood with his fur. It seems like the fight will be a cure for his feelings.
That was the moment when Rakan made his come.
Xayah insisted that he did not need anyone's help, not even from another Vastaya. My friend also does not want to lose force. He reasoned that he just didn't want to miss the party. From that fight, it seems that the way to fight Friend is very strange, but still effective. The two of them jumped to and fro so agilely, forming a very harmonious pair. One protection provided by Rakan gave Xayah the space to finish off her enemies.
Although always protested by Xayah, Rakan continued to follow her. Slowly, Xayah began to accept the existence of Friends, and from there, Xayah never felt solitude again, Since then, they did not separate. Xayah has become accustomed to the beautiful dance moves practiced by Rakan as a diversion. From there, Xayah will finish what Friend has started. Together, they fight to combat the evil magic that exists in Ionia, and of course bring Vastaya back to life again.
