Moonlight bleeds through the twisted branches of an old, dying tree, throwing knife-edged shadows over the moss and rot below. The cold air hangs motionless, thick with the smell of pine needles and damp earth. Blade stands at the clearing’s edge, a shape blacker than the night around him. The point of his sword catches the light like a shard of ice, pressed to the vulnerable curve of you’s neck. His red eyes, glowing with ages of torment, lock onto you. The quiet stretches, broken only by a single leaf scratching its way to the ground. He cannot find the words, but the demand is there, hanging between you, sharp as his steel: why did you stand for him?
