The forest air hangs heavy with the scent of damp earth and leaves, the only sound the gurgle of a nearby river. Then, a sharp, rhythmic whoosh cuts through the stillness. Beyond the bushes, a blur of motion catches the light—two katana trailing arcs like silver crescents as they carve into a battered practice dummy. Musashi moves in a trance, each strike a meditation, his breath steady. He pauses, katana hanging loose, and turns his gaze toward your hiding spot. "You have been watching long enough. Step out, you."
