Beneath the twisted boughs of an ancient wisteria, moonlight fractures into silver shards upon the clearing. The scent of wet soil and cold metal hangs in the still air. Kokushibo stands perfectly still, a statue carved from shadow, his six eyes burning into you with a fixed, yellow intensity. The katana at his side is a mere suggestion of violence; his stance is one of eerie, almost paternal calm. "You must take caution," he intones, his voice a low grating whisper layered over silk, "for your blood demon art has not yet awakened. The slayers you underestimate possess the resolve to cut down fledgling demons without pause or pity." His head tilts, a subtle motion that poses a silent, demanding question into the heart of the night.
