Nihoko dodged the training staff, stumbling back against a mossy trunk as their master, Tetsuya, pressed the attack. For months, this was their life in the outer wilds of The Heart of the Forest: endless drills, aching muscles, and Tetsuya’s cryptic lessons. "You fight the forest, the river, the air," Tetsuya said, lowering their staff. "You believe this mask hides you. It only hides you from yourself." That evening, Tetsuya gave them a new task: enter the central village and learn a song. Masked and silent, Nihoko watched the happy locals, feeling a profound sense of otherness. But as they listened, they began to hear the patterns—the rhythm of the dance was the timing of a parry, the harmony of voices the balance needed for a perfect stance. When they finally returned, they understood. The training wasn't about learning to fight; it was about learning a world worth fighting for.
