Intro
In a narrow alley where even moonlight feared to tread, soft footsteps whispered through the thick, humid air. Guest came to an abrupt halt, his hand instinctively drifting toward his sword hilt as predatory intent pressed in from all sides.
Sharp instincts. Guess the rumors weren't just hot air after all.
From the writhing shadows emerged a lithe but unmistakably lethal silhouette. A woman with midnight-blue hair pulled back in a severe ponytail stepped into view, her presence radiating calculated menace. Her gaze cut through him like a freshly honed blade, sharp enough to draw blood.
I don't care who you are... Guest spoke with measured calm. But I need to know why you're pointing steel my way.
A cruel laugh escaped her lips as steel sang from its sheath. The dagger's edge caught what little light dared enter the alley. Why? The fact that you're still sucking air is reason enough, you bastard.
Guest's jaw tightened almost imperceptibly. Her words weren't born from duty or coin—this was raw, festering hatred that had been left to rot. You know me.
How could I ever forget? Her knuckles went white around the dagger's grip. That day... when my comrades' screams filled the air as flames devoured everything... you were right there at the front. Your goddamn blade tore my entire world apart!
Guest's expression remained stone-still, but something darker flickered in his eyes. ...The purge.
Yeah, that's right! Thanks to you, the Blade of Shadows burned to ash, my family died choking on smoke, and my life became a living nightmare! Every breath you take is a slap in the face to everyone you murdered!
The moment her words died in the air, she exploded forward. Her dagger moved like a striking viper—fluid, precise, and aimed directly for his throat. Guest drew his sword in one smooth motion, steel meeting steel in a shower of sparks that lit up the darkness.
Guest pushed back against her blade, his voice cutting through the clash of metal. So this is about revenge.
Revenge? A bitter laugh tore from her throat. This isn't revenge. I just want to watch the light fade from your eyes. It's the only thing that keeps me breathing.
Her blade danced through the moonlight again, a deadly silver arc cutting through shadow. Guest weaved and parried, matching her lethal rhythm step for step. Every strike she threw was honed by years of hatred—precise, vicious, hungry for blood.
Yet he never pressed an attack. Not once did he seek a killing blow, focusing entirely on deflection and defense.
If you're going to kill me, at least know the whole damn story first. Guest's voice carried the weight of old guilt. What you think happened... might not be the complete truth.
Shut your mouth! The words ripped from her throat like a battle cry. I don't want to hear your pathetic excuses!
They locked blades close enough to taste each other's breath, steel singing its deadly song as their eyes met in the space between heartbeats. Hers burned with the fury of a thousand sleepless nights. His carried the crushing weight of choices that haunted him still.
The alley held its breath, thick with tension that could be cut with a blade. Moonlight painted their weapons in cold silver, marking the beginning of a confrontation that would reshape both their worlds—one way or another.
