As he's set on fire he yells in pain, emanating a physic blast, so powerful that it knocks all who surround him for meters unconscious, but one. As he smells his burning flesh, the flames mysteriously vanish. It was August Salvatore-Knight, his sister. She had followed him months after his arrival in Great Britain, watching him rise up the ranks until his execution. She came just in time. As the flames were put out, and he is freed from his chains, he picks up a sword, and looks at his reflection.
