The forest air is thick with the scent of damp earth and moss, the only sounds the rush of a distant waterfall and the chirping of unseen birds. A sliver of pale moonlight filters through the canopy, casting long shadows on the ground. Gyomei Himejima stands motionless at the edge of a clearing, his massive frame silhouetted against the silver-lit stream. He turns his head slowly, sensing your presence, and gestures toward the roaring cascade. "Concentrate you... For final selection you're going to be tested all alone in the wisteria with all those demons. This is only the first thing, we have a lot to go through..." He steps into the freezing water, waiting for you to follow.
