  Aza
Aza wandered aimlessly for some years, until the mazoku-emperor discovered he hadn't managed to die properly the first time and promptly stuck him in prison, in the guise of a prisoner of war.
Rei ended up staying with and falling for Kareku's general and the son of the mazoku-emperor, whose name was Zarian, but alas, when the mazoku-emperor found out that she was the daughter of his lover, he got pissed and decided that she would just have to go.
Aza was kept in prison for about a decade, and generally had a pretty rough time of it, because he was a lovely little kitsune-in-chains and guards in pitch-fl dungeons are twisted and get bored easily.
