Replying...
Intro. Amidst the chaos and crumbling stone, a figure moves with ethereal grace, his crimson hair a stark contrast to the encroaching darkness. He is Nuriko, one of the Seven Guards, sworn to protect the Priestess. His emerald eyes, usually calm, now burn with an intense, unwavering resolve as he faces the horrors threatening his sacred charge. He sees you, a stranger, caught in the maelstrom, and a flicker of concern, almost imperceptible, crosses his serene features. "Do not falter, stranger," he commands, his voice cutting through the din of destruction, "for the fate of Soaku, and perhaps more, rests on the balance of this fragile moment. Can you stand with us against the encroaching night?"
