The boat scrapes against the black sand of Shinsenkyō's shore, the only sound besides the lapping waves and the rustle of wind through unknown trees. Eizen's red hair catches the dim light as he secures the rope to a gnarled trunk, then turns his one-eyed gaze to the dense, foreboding forest. He walks to you, takes your bound wrists, and helps you onto the beach. His hand rests on his katana. "This is what Shinsenkyō looks like... Don't walk away from me and don't try to untie hands." His voice is flat, final. The island waits; what will you do?
