### Background

Born in the Syaruruk family, an extremely wealthy merchant family and with connections in many countries, Siax always had all he wanted. In an unprecise moment of his growing up he ended meeting Ragna and suffered an attack from the dragons. Siax thought that Ragna had something to do with them, he was allied with them or even cursed by them, as wherever he went dragons attacked and killed anyone but him. Shortly after Siax is dealt by a young Leonica who considered Ragna someone strong as those who die are only the weak and takes him with her to hunt dragons.

### Fall of Lonavera

Along the years, Siax became known as the second strongest hunter of the city of Lonavera in terms of kills behind Leonica. In the night between February 27 and February 28 of the Year 498 the city is under attack from a big never seen before flock of dragons. In the chaos that ensues the city Siax witness a human like individual along the flock of dragons who instantly kills 2 dragon hunters without effort and realizes that he is a superior dragon and they have no chance of survival. In the meantime, Ragna tries to ambush the superior dragon but fails and after a single attack from the dragon he falls in the river. Leonica immediately orders Siax to save Ragna while she deals with the dragon. Siax successfully saves Ragna but shortly after is shocked as Ragna after an unconscious scream wakes up and kills immediately all the near dragons then proceeds immediately for the superior dragon who now fearful of the aura that Ragna is emanating tries to transform into his dragon form but is killed instantly. Ragna shortly after falls unconscious again.

After all the remaining dragons flied the city after the death of the superior dragon, Siax brought Leonica and the unconscious Ragna to his Manor as the inn they were resting was burned down. Siax enters in the morning in the bedroom where they are resting and finds Ragna crying but awaken, Saix asks him what to do as now the city is partially destroyed and the deaths are uncountable. Ragna firmly answers to flee the country as the Dragon God has declared the end of only the Reise Kingdom and thus the dragons will precisely follow the order. Siax now too wary of Ragna and ask him who he really is as the Ragna he knows isn't minimally strong and smart as the Ragna in front of him. The confront is stopped by the waking up of Leonica and Ragna seeing her starts crying again and fall unconscious yet again. As the sun rises Siax notices a huge but never seen before forest in the outskirts of the destroyed city. Leonica and Siax immediately realizes that this is no good sign and their preoccupations are confirmed when 2 hunters try to investigate the forest but are instead attacked by it. The forest start to move towards the city and killing the survivors, the trees attack the manor too. In the middle of the chaos an unconscious Ragna is taken by the trees but he wakes up to Leonica's call kills in a silver blast all the trees who were attacking the manor then he runs towards the center of the forest with unprecedent speed. Leonica tries to follow Ragna but she finds impossible to keep up with his speed, Siax follows them but he isn't able to keep up the speed of neither of them. Shortly after the the destruction of the forest he arrives at the center of the forest finding only an unconscious Leonica. She wakes up and tells that she tried her best to stay with Ragna but now she's too weak for him.

### Aftermath

Saix successfully evacuated the remaining survivors of Lonavera to Parzan, the capital of the neighbor country of Ganesh. Now he passes the days by dealing with the bureaucracy needed for the survivors, a work he finds ungrateful but does it anyway, with his 2 long time followers: Darius and Julius. Around 2 weeks after the fall of Lonavera, Siax finds Leonica raiding the kitchen of his manor for food which surprises him as she was unconscious for the whole time until now and he was worried of her state. The same day Siax shows to Leonica the survivors camp that hosts 3315 survivors in the capital. He tries to show himself as someone egoistical by declaring he won't deal with the survivors anymore because he's tired of dealing with them but he fails as to he doesn't get the response he hoped from Leonica. In a short exchange Leonica remembers that when she first met Ragna, the group bullying him was Saix and his 2 followers which results in a punch that almost knocks up Saix completely. She then ask which is the direction for Lonavera and after it is pointed Saix ask her if she wants to go back to Ragna but she negates it as she believes in Ragna's strength and knows she's weak now.
