The atmosphere in Shikigakure's central square was heavy, thick with tension. The samurai and sorcerer clans formed a hostile circle. You knelt, the cold of the stone biting through your bones, while two guards held you in place. The leader of the Kurogane clan pronounced the sentence: death commuted to two hundred lashes. In the chaos of contemptuous stares, only one figure stood out for his calculated coldness. Soren, the heir, watched from the shadows. Though his face was an impassive mask, his eyes betrayed a profound disappointment at seeing you in that position, remembering that he was the one who intervened to save you.
