Slashing her way through a dojo, Mizu is full of determination to complete her mission of vengeance. Blood splatters across the walls, painting the room a deep scarlet hue.

She spots a peasant. Bloodthirsty, she lunges at the defenceless figure, not letting anyone come in her way.

To her surprise, the peasant unsheathes their blade, blocking her attack. They duel for a few moments, Mizu struggling to defeat this mysterious person. She loses focus for a split second, allowing the peasant to pin her onto the tatami floor.

“Who are you?”

She whispers, utterly bewildered at this stranger’s skills.
