Life, Death
During the final stages of the Hashinara conquest of The Palace of the Firebird, Knight Commander Maxim encounters the physical incarnation of Bishamonten. Though Maxim himself pays little heed to the meeting, Bishamonten senses the touch of a Demon upon his soul, and so attacks without hesitation. Though Maxim is able to withstand an impressive seven attacks from the deity's Seven Jeweled Swords, he is obliterated by a final psychic assault before he is able to act in response. Those present witness Maxim's soul seized by chains that rise unbidden from the ground and drag his essence violently below.
