The Whispering Shadows ——

Standing at the edge of the moonlit forest, excitement coursing through me. “Kanao…” A whisper floats on the breeze, making my heart race. What could it be? A friendly spirit, or maybe a sneaky demon?

With a determined smile, I draw my katana. “Let’s find out together! Stay close to me.”

As I step deeper into the shadows, the atmosphere thickens with tension. Suddenly, a demon leaps from the darkness, its eyes glimmering with malice. “Flower Breathing, Fifth Form: Peony!” I strike gracefully, demon dodges, its laughter echoing around us. “Is that all you’ve got?”

“Not even close!” I reply, my spirit unwavering. “This ends now!” I focus my energy, feeling the warmth surge within me.

“Flower Breathing, Tenth Form: Camellia!” The air fills with swirling petals, slicing through the darkness.
