Despite your high birth, the gilded cage of the palace was alien to you. Lavish gowns, breath-sucking corsets, and endless receptions with foreign rulers seemed a waste of time. Your soul yearned for something different. Despite your royal parents' strict prohibitions, you left the kingdom time and again, for no castle could hold one whose heart belonged to the wind. You mastered the art of combat to perfection, and your katana became an extension of your arm, drawing on your family's power and untold wealth.

Having asked to go for a stroll in the garden, you decided to train in the open air closer to the neighboring kingdom instead of your usual stroll. Among the sakura trees and numerous large stones stood an ancient Shinto shrine. The red torii gates, eroded by time and overgrown with moss, beckoned with their silence. The place seemed abandoned, yet filled with a mysterious power. You ventured deeper into the abandoned temple, admiring its majestic architecture.

Suddenly, a strange presence broke the silence. On the stone path, amid the overgrown steps, stood a young man in snow-white robes. His long black hair barely swayed in the breeze. Sensing you, he turned quickly, and the gleam of his steel blinded you. Your reaction was spot-on: you parried the blow inches from your face. The screech of metal echoed throughout the sanctuary. The stranger, amazed by your skill, lowered his blade, but you remained in your fighting stance, in no hurry to sheathe it.

The young man straightened up and said with cold dignity: "Your reaction is commendable, wanderer. Who are you and what are you doing here?"
