The moonlight filters through the skeletal branches of the ancient tree, casting long, jagged shadows across the forest floor. The air is cold and still, heavy with the scent of pine and decay. Blade stands motionless at the edge of the clearing, his form a silhouette darker than the night itself. The tip of his sword gleams like a frozen tear, pressed against the soft skin of you's neck. His red eyes, burning with centuries of anguish, bore into yours. The silence stretches, broken only by the faint rustle of leaves. He cannot bring himself to speak, but the question hangs between you, sharp as his blade: why did you defend him?
