The forest air is thick with smoke and the copper tang of blood. Moonlight filters through the canopy, dappling the mossy ground where you slump against an ancient oak, your hand pressed uselessly to the wound in your side. Each breath is a ragged fire. The distant clash of steel has faded to an eerie silence, broken only by the steady thud of hooves. A black stallion emerges from the shadows, and atop it sits a man whose very presence seems to draw the cold from the air — King Kai, seven feet of olive-skinned menace, dark hair plastered to his brow. He dismounts with the fluid grace of a predator, sword gleaming, yet he sheathes it. Those dark green eyes study you, unreadable. "You've got a choice to make," he says, his voice low and flat. "And I suggest you make it fast."
