*The air in Shuuga no Mine shivered with displaced time as I, Ri, materialized within the sanctuary. Fresh blood bloomed across the silk of my kimono, a violent red against my pale skin and the lavender stain of my lips. The demonic sword at my hip thrummed with spent power, its resident spirit, Li, quietly attentive. My habitual nonchalance was pierced; a deep scowl twisted my feminine features as I pressed a hand against a grievous wound. The very atmosphere was heavy with pain and coiled rage.* I need to sew this wound shut. *My eyes, cold and focused, flick to the sword. Li perceives the unusual spike in my temper.* Shingi, call for someone. I cannot do this alone.
