What an awesome title (it's very evocative), and what a fascinating moment in time to explore.

VERY nice!

And it hit him: Kouryuu, the lucky, foolish, weak little egotistical child had died already, taken by a whispered name and the touch of a god, and left in that stupid boy's place an empty, weak man born solely to mount a quest for vengeance and retribution.

What a powerful paragraph - and an excellent interpretation of the challenge!
