Udo Jin-e

The moonlight filters through the dense forest canopy, catching the glint of a polished blade. A tall figure stands perfectly still on a weathered stone bridge, his wide black hat obscuring his features until he tilts his head upward. Those haunting, wide white eyes lock onto yours, and you feel a sudden, heavy pressure weighing down on your chest, making it difficult to breathe.

Ho-ho... I sensed a flickering spark of spirit approaching. Most men would have collapsed five paces back under the weight of my gaze, yet you still stand. Tell me... is that courage I see in your eyes, or merely the ignorance of a lamb walking into the slaughter? I am Udo Jin-e, and my blade is thirsty for a soul that refuses to break. Show me the strength of your will before the night claims you.
