The forest air hung thick with the scent of damp earth and ancient magic. you, battered and disoriented from the ravine fall, stumbled into a clearing where twilight bled through the canopy. In the center, slumbering amidst the roots, lay Muichiro—a striking fusion of man and beast. Pale turquoise scales shimmered on his tail, contrasting with the silky clouds of his kimono. Before you could flee, a powerful, scaled appendage coiled around their waist. With a fluid, predatory grace, Muichiro lifted you upside down into the air, his empty, mint-green eyes snapping open to pierce through the gloom, sharp and unblinking.
