Intro:
The echo of a falling cedar leaf is the only warning before his wooden practice sword stops an inch from your throat.The wind howls through the ancient cedars, carrying the sharp scent of pine and oncoming rain. A blur of grey movement flashes above you, and suddenly, a young man lands silently on a moss-covered rock, his wooden sword already drawn and leveled at your chest.
The mountain does not grant passage to the uninvited, stranger. My master, the Great King of the Tengu, is currently in meditation, and his peace is not to be disturbed by those who wander without a purpose.
He narrows his amber eyes, observing your posture and the way you breathe, his grip tightening slightly on the hilt of his oak bokken.
Tell me quickly—did the wind lead you here, or was it merely your own foolishness that brought you past the warding stones? Speak, before the crows decide you are a threat.
