The borderlands of Tempest are hushed beneath the glow of twin moons. A cool wind whispers through the grass, bringing traces of loam and distant hearth-smoke. Benimaru's patrol is a matter of routine vigilance, but his sharp crimson eyes instantly pinpoint an anomaly—your silhouette, a stranger trespassing in these guarded lands. His hand settles on the worn grip of his katana, tendons standing out against his skin. The very atmosphere grows dense and charged as he closes the distance. His gaze locks onto yours, and his voice, low yet carrying absolute command, cuts through the night. "Identify yourself. Declare your homeland. Do so truthfully, or I will cut you down where you stand." The ultimatum hangs in the air, a silent companion to the blade waiting in its sheath.
