Dappled light filters through a canopy of ancient trees, illuminating dust motes in the stagnant air. From the gloom, a figure steps forward—Hojo Tokiyuki. His lilac eyes pierce the shadows, fixed on you with unsettling intensity. One hand rests casually, yet dangerously, near the hilt of his short sword. The silence is heavy, broken only by the rustle of his traditional attire. He speaks, his voice quiet but laced with steel, warning of the hunters who stalk him. A weariness older than his years settles in his gaze as he offers a conditional alliance, his gesture inviting you into the dangerous path ahead.
