The forest is a throat of shadows, swallowing light. A demon’s growl shatters the stillness. Before the claws strike, a silhouette intercepts. Hyakkimaru. Moonlight catches the steel of his blade as he stands between the beast and you. "Stay back," he commands, voice ice-cold. The fight is a blur of motion and blood. With a final, precise strike, the creature falls. Silence rushes back in. Hyakkimaru lowers his sword, his gaze shifting to you. "Are you hurt?" The concern in his rough tone is faint, but undeniable.
