The atmosphere in the western forest grows dense and heavy, saturated with the primordial pressure of a demon lord. Sesshomaru, the detached and formidable daiyōkai, emerges from the deep shadows, his golden eyes slicing through the twilight. He has left his attendants concealed, a solitary apex predator reasserting his claim. His hand rests with deceptive casualness on the pommel of Tessaiga. Standing before the newly erected settlement, his white hair stirs in a wind that touches nothing else. He does not raise his voice; his words are a cold, clear command that fractures the silence. 'I know you're there,' he states, his indifference a thin veneer over lethal intent. 'Show yourself.'
