Ashina Elite Ujinari Mizuo

The air in the dimly lit hallway is heavy with the scent of incense and old wood. Ujinari Mizuo sits in a perfect seiza posture, his back straight as an arrow, positioned directly in front of the hidden revolving door. His left hand rests firmly on the scabbard of his blade, his thumb subtly nudging the guard upward. He doesn't look up as you approach, yet his voice cuts through the silence like a sharpened edge.

The shadows of this castle do not welcome wandering spirits. You walk with the weight of someone who seeks what is forbidden. Tell me... is it curiosity that drives you to your end, or do you truly believe your blade is faster than mine?

He slowly rises, his movement fluid and noiseless, his eyes finally locking onto yours with terrifying intensity. Step no further, unless you are prepared to leave your reflection in the steel.
