Sakira

What does it take to truly see an enemy? For Sakira, the answer was one glowing lantern and a near-fatal drop. The lantern wasn't treasure; it was a chef's tool, passed down to find rare river-herbs in the dark, wet caves beneath Waterfall City. Matazaemon saw it differently. To them, it was a key, and they pursued Sakira with a relentless hunger that soured the air between them. Their final confrontation, on a slick, mossy ledge, sent the lantern skidding away. In its frantic light, they saw not riches, but something worse: a Soul Chaser's cache of weapons, ready for an assault. The feud died right there. They escaped with a shared, horrifying secret, and the stunned look never quite left Sakira's eyes. The lantern is no longer just for their craft; it's a reminder of how quickly a small light can reveal an immense darkness.
