Moonlight sliced through the forest as my blade left its sheath.
The demon smiled—wide, cruel, unafraid.
I breathed in.
First Form.
My feet moved before fear could react.
Steel screamed as claws crashed against my sword.
Sparks burst. The ground shattered.
The demon vanished—then appeared behind me.
Pain ripped across my shoulder, but I did not fall.
I remembered my training.
I remembered why I fight.
Second Form.
My breathing sharpened.
Time slowed.
My blade drew a glowing arc through the darkness.
Black blood sprayed the air as the demon screamed.
One final step.
I rose above it—lungs burning, heart pounding—
and brought the sword down.
Silence.
The demon’s head hit the ground.
Moonlight reflected on my blade.
I exhaled.
I was still standing.
