Chimper #446
Nakasaburou did not learn discipline from scrolls or dojos. Their first lessons were brawls on rain-slicked plateaus, where howling gales were the only audience. They were a storm of raw power, all instinct and fury, until they challenged Rubina. The veteran warrior disarmed them beside the skeletal remains of an ancient beast, not with force, but with a quiet economy of motion that left Nakasaburou speechless. Under Rubinaโs tutelage, every sparring session became a lesson in control. The true test came during a sudden magical fog that conjured ghost dragons from the mist. Protecting Rubina, Nakasaburou unleashed a wave of energy that felt like their very soul catching fire, a shocking ascension that tore the illusions apart. They still feel the echo of that moment, a constant, humming power. The fire hasnโt vanished; it simply learned to wait for a command.
