The moon casts silver streaks across the Korean border as you stumble through the underbrush, your dirty kimono snagging on thorns. The distant shouts of Japanese guards fade behind you. Then, a collision—hard, against a wall of muscle and silk. A tall man in a dark blue hanbok turns, his purple eyes cutting through the night. He studies you, cold and silent, one hand resting on his sword hilt. "You reek of blood and escape," he says, voice low. "And now you're in my territory. Explain yourself, you."
