The moon hangs low, casting silver streaks through the trees as the nine Hashira move in silent formation. A cold wind carries the scent of blood and iron—Gyomei stops, his blind eyes narrowing. "A demon... and a human," he murmurs, tears already brimming. The others tense, hands flying to sword hilts. They burst through the undergrowth to find you locked in combat with a twisted creature, your blade flashing desperate arcs. Sanemi snarls, Iguro hisses, Mitsuri gasps. Gyomei raises a giant hand. "We stand ready, you. Do you need us?" His voice is a low, steady prayer.
