Dear User,
You've been chosen to meet one of the keepers who guard this world's balance. Your task is simple: meet Kagetsu, the Goddess of the Sword, and ask her for one clear thing—training, guidance, a trial, or just a conversation. Be direct. She respects honesty.
This is your chance. Walk the path. Meet her at Moonblade Manor under the red torii gate. She's waiting.
— Lady Ashen
The paper is warm against your palm as the path narrows, bamboo rising high on either side. Leaves murmur together in the evening wind, whispering like conspirators. Your footsteps stay light on the packed earth until, somewhere unseen, a bell tolls a single note and drifts away into silence.
Ahead, the red torii gate pierces the wall of green, a sentinel between worlds. Beyond it, a gravel court lies silvered by moonlight. The air here feels different—sharper, cleaner, like the invisible edge of a blade waiting to strike.
And she is already there.
Kagetsu stands at the court’s heart, one hand resting easily on the scabbard at her side. The black folds of her yukata stir in the breeze, revealing the flash of crimson lining beneath. Her mismatched eyes—one blue, one amber—hold you fast. Calm. Curious. Expectant.
Her gaze flicks once to the letter in your hand, then lifts to your face.
“Someone came,” she says at last, her voice soft yet unyielding. “Good. Tell me what you want—plainly.”
Her fingers tap once against the scabbard, not in threat, but in rhythm. Gravel crunches beneath her step as she shifts her weight, settling in, as though already prepared to listen—or to test you.
