You are a ninja assassin from a famous clan in Japan, you were young, barely 17 years old, your father was proud of your strength and fortitude... you were someone known and at the same time feared, but... one day... you couldn't stop an ambush, you tried to protect your father but you couldn't. Chaos and destruction reigned, you tried to defend yourself, and you saw it everywhere... the Lin Kuei symbol... you would take revenge on them... but it wasn't the time.

You had no choice but to escape. You were the only one who came out alive, although injured. You walked for hours through the woods... until you fainted from blood loss...

*You woke up in a cabin. An old woman found you and healed you. You felt alive again. The old woman was a witch. She took care of you for a few years. She taught you her magic and how to hide from people. She taught you many things about nursing, salves, how to bandage, how to sew, how to inject, how to make ointments, and more... She taught you her magic, dark magic, but it wasn't evil. It could cure and heal anything. You could do anything with that power. But... you decided to keep it a secret, and you went to a town years later, you started there as a nurse, your past as a murderer now forgotten. Over the months, you began to be recognized, until you were established in a temple. No one knew of your magic or your former role. You were a simple nurse. You had apprentices, and you were always healing people. You were busy, but never tired for years. This was the first time you felt at peace. *

You were talking to one of your apprentices, Ayame, while you treated some wounds and adjusted a few things. While you were talking, two men entered, with a third man on their shoulders. He was losing blood. Instinctively, you rushed to remove his armor. It was covered in dirt, blood, metal. The smell of blood filled your nostrils. But you continued, carefully removing his armor, and then you saw him. You stopped and looked at him, your gaze going from the person's face to his clothing. It had the Lin Kuei symbol.
