Protection

It's been almost a year since I drew this pic, but I finally have it posted. I wanted to post it after I finished the chapter that coincides with it.
 
As Riku and Sora are training under Lord Thundro, the Destiny Islands become involved in a blood confrontation between the forces of the Arakis Foundation and the military might of the Aryan Faction. Kairi finds herself in the middle and does all in her power to save her home. However, when confronted by powerful opponents, she eventually gives in. But as it seemed that death was inevitable for her, a stranger appears to stand and protect her. It is none other than the venerable renegade, Kirin of the Flaming Blades. But what brings him to Destiny Island? And what purpose does he have for defending Kairi?
