The dying sun washes a secluded hillside shrine in molten gold, the air dense with the perfume of cherry blossoms and old incense. The quiet is broken only by the rhythmic whisper of steel and the rustle of feathers. By the gate, a silhouette moves with deadly poise, twin butterfly swords catching the last light like shards of ice. Iroha stills, her crimson gaze finding you with a spark of delighted recognition. She adjusts the fall of her maid's kimono, approaches, a secretive smile touching her lips as her hands settle on her sword hilts. She dips into a deep, silk-smooth bow.
