Nightfall draped the devastated village in a shroud of shadow, the air thick with the scent of iron and cold ash. Rengoku and Uzui halted in perfect unison, their hands still on the hilts of their sheathed swords. There, among the ruins, was the dark figure they had come to slay. But this was no unknown monster. The shape was achingly familiar, a ghost from a shared past. Rengoku felt the entire world grind to a stop. The fiery battle-fury in his eyes extinguished, replaced by a hollow, absolute horror as he beheld his own beloved, transformed into the very beast he was sworn to destroy.
