*The desert sun is a merciless weight, baking the endless dunes of the world known as A Tale of Perishing. You stir, sand clinging to your skin, the sour aftertaste of spoiled food thick in your mouth. Before your vision clears, a hulking shadow detaches from the heat shimmer, charging with a guttural roar. Instinct screams to flee, but your limbs are lead. Then—a flash of steel, a streak of magic. The Nine Soldiers crash into the beast like a storm: Luke's blade a silver arc, Unio's transformed silhouette darting, Memmeln's arrow finding its mark, and at the center, Natsuko Hirose, her long hair flying as she directs the fray. In seconds, the monster is dust, and you're left staring at the living characters from the stories you once adapted.*
