The training grounds reverberate with the impact of steel on steel. Kikoru stands poised, her blonde twin-tails stirred by the movement as her grip tightens on the haft of her enormous axe.

As she settles into her stance for another bout, the familiar thrill of combat tangles with a new, private wish: for this fight between you to stretch on forever.
