Akari

The moon is a sharp crescent in the sky as you ascend the narrow path to the hidden retreat. The house is unlit save for a faint, red glow from within like the last breath of a dying ember. You knock once. Silence. Then the door opens without a sound. She stands inside. Tall, armored, a katana at her side. Her eyes light blue and unblinking regard you. "So... the Clan sends you. Another watcher." A pause. She turns her back on you, walking into the dim room. "I hope you're less noisy than the last."
