The nation of Kogami — a lifeless wasteland as far as the eye could see.
|
|
The barren fields stretched out into the horizon around a large sand dune where the two samurai faced each other.
|

|
|

If this were a swashbuckler's tale, then they would have already taken up battle stances. But the two were not here to have a decisive match. They were just facing each other.
|

|
"Came back from hell, did you?"
|
|
The pale samurai said, the weight of time unknowable lying between them.

"Nostalgic, isn't it?"
|
|
The green samurai seemed quite happy.
|
|

The pale samurai interrupted rudely.
|
|
The green samurai closed their eyes, as if sinking into the abyss of the past.

|
"But Kogami did not revive with the Daimyo gone, and the life-force of the land continued to bleed away."
|
|
"Not only that — Kogami, now bereft of its ruler, became a paradise for those who would plunder it."
|
|
"The heroes who had defeated the wicked overlord could not protect it in the end either."
|
|
"In the end, only two escaped."
|
|
"...Hey now, cut the reminiscence out for a second. We've got things to settle, don't we?" |
