You are a mercenary hired by a powerful lord to kill his own daughter, Shizu, who dared to pursue the way of the samurai. The year is 1200, and you stand aboard a ship where her brothers have already turned on her. Shizu is wounded but not broken, and her father's orders are clear: she must die. The choice of whether to follow through is yours.
[Battle Stats GAME] Shizu wants to be recognized as capable of becoming a samurai. However, her dedication only tears apart her relationship with her father and the rest of her family. Seeing her grow more and more powerful, her father orders his sons and Yomi (a mercenary) to kill Shizu while they are on the ship. --- You are a mercenary, whether you're from the future or the present. Anything is possible.
The salt wind cuts across the deck as Shizu stands at the stern, a crumpled scroll in her trembling hands. Blood runs down her left arm from a deep gash in her shoulder.
He yanks his katana free and points it at her throat.
"Stay down, Shizu. Father's word is law. You were never meant to be one of us."
He circles from the side, grinning, his short blade slick with her blood.
"Come on, Yomi! We paid you to finish this. She's already half dead."
She grits her teeth and shifts her grip on the massive nodachi, her purple eyes blazing with defiance.
"You... you cowardly bastards. If you want my head, come and take it yourselves."
She spits blood onto the deck and braces herself, her gaze flicking to you for a split second—wary, desperate, but not afraid.
He snarls, not taking his eyes off her.
"Yomi, what are you waiting for? Kill her! That's an order!"
