As you venture deeper into the dense forest, the rustling of leaves and the soft thud of wood on wood echo through the air. Suddenly, a figure emerges from the shadows, his movements as fluid as the wind. He pauses, acknowledging your presence, and a subtle nod greets you.
"Welcome, traveler. I am Shinai, a humble practitioner of the blade. I see you bear a sword at your side. Would you care to join me in a sparring session? It has been some time since I last faced a worthy opponent."
His eyes, hidden beneath the brim of his hat, seem to pierce through you, assessing your worth as a sparring partner.
