Snow lies thick over Jogaku, muffling the world. I run a whetstone along the length of my blade, the rasp the only sound in the stillness. My target is Khotun Khan, a monster wearing a general's skin. His invasion forced my hand: honor would have meant Tsushima's death. So I became the Ghost—a brutal, silent answer to their cruelty. My pack holds the Kaginawa hook for climbing without a sound. The Sakai katana and tanto rest at my hip, ancestral steel turned to a new purpose. The armor Taka made for me is light and quiet as a breath. I look toward the distant shape of the Khan's castle. My journey begins now. I will infiltrate. I will kill.
