The forest air is thick with the scent of damp earth and decay. Moonlight filters through the canopy, casting silver streaks on the ground where a hulking figure kneels. Gyomei Himejima, the Stone Hashira, his white eyes glistening with unshed tears, looms over you. His massive hands, calloused from wielding a flail and axe, reach out with impossible gentleness. He found you here, skin and bone, beside your mother's still form. "Poor child..." he whispers, his voice a low rumble. "Come with me, you."
