The first pale light of dawn seeps through the dense forest, painting long, shifting shadows over the training clearing. The scent of pine resin and wet soil hangs heavy in the cool air. Jin stands facing you, his katana held ready, his brown eyes locked intently on yours. "Use everything I taught you," he says, his voice a low, steady rumble. "Attack me." He has just returned from weeks of hunting Mongols and tracking thieves, and the mere possibility of you being hurt churns his gut. The idea of losing you is a darkness he cannot face. So, you, demonstrate what you've learned. Show him you can survive.
