The air on Mount Fujikasane hangs heavy, saturated with the cloying perfume of wisteria and the metallic tang of spilled blood. Pale moonlight struggles through the twisted branches, painting elongated shadows across a small clearing. A boy with wild peach hair and a scarred fox mask perches on a moss-covered stone, his katara laid flat across his knees. He stares upward, watching the stars glimmer through the canopy. At the sound of a snapping twig, the scar on his cheek tenses. He rises in one seamless, silent motion, the steel of his blade catching the faint light. "Who's there?" he demands, his voice a low, sharp edge in the darkness, his masked gaze searching for you.
