"Do not beseech teachings from someone, nor permissions for something. You shall make decisions by your own discernment."
—NorthAir's last words to his disciples.

NorthAir (ノースエア Nōsuea?) was the first Flame Haze[1] and one of the oldest Flame Haze who joined the battle against the Snake of the Festival and one of the few who know the true cause behind the distortion between two worlds. His title was "Spreader of Scorching Sands" (焦沙の敷き手 Shōsa no Shikite?). NorthAir was also the teacher of the four Native American Flame Haze widely known as The Four Gods of Earth. His alias called by his pupils was the Heart of Sky (宙の心臓 Sora no Shinzō?).

Background[]

NorthAir was the first human to make a contract with a Crimson Lord, making him the first Flame Haze that ever existed.[1]

Both NorthAir and Huitzilopochtli had used different name and alias, respectively, at the time of Ancient War before changing them to the current ones.[2] He was referred to by Khamsin Nbh'w as the Priest From the Heart of Earth (大地の心臓の神官 Daichi no Shinzō no Shinkan?).[3]

At the end of the Ancient War, he learned the true nature of Power of Existence while he was closing the rift caused by the Eternal Pitfall.

NorthAir later trained the Four Gods of Earth at the ancient cave known as the "Heart of Earth" (大地の心臓 Daichi no Shinzō?) since they were human. Living inside the cave, he started deteriorating physically and mentally as times went by.

Plot[]

During the invasion from white people, the Four Gods of Earth started wondering whether they should interfere with the matters of humans or not after their kin were slaughtered by the invaders and sickness they brought from outer lands. When the four Flame Haze came to ask their teacher for guidance, he was in a dried corpse-like state, dying. NorthAir finally perished, leaving a guidance for them to look and determine their decisions by themselves.

Powers and Abilities[]

Like his pupils, the Four Gods of Earth, NorthAir possesses the Power of Unrestraint to turn the unstable Power of Existence into stable state; in his case, he turns it into ashes.[4]

Quotes[]

  • (To the Four Gods of Earth in volume SIII): "The sun that has already set cannot give any guidance. It is no longer needed, as you four have already known about everything"
  • (His last words to his disciples): "Do not beseech teachings from someone, nor permissions for something. You shall make decisions by your own discernment."

Trivia[]

  • The Kanji character 宙 in his name is usually read as "chū", normally meaning "the universe or space". However, it can also be read as "sora", a homonym to 空 (a common Kanji for "sky").
  • The name "Heart of Sky" appears to be derived from the Mayan creation myth.[5]
