Gijirou

Gijirou remembers the taste of ozone, the sudden chill in a warm room, and the silent scream of Akurai’s amulet awakening. Before that day, their life was simple, defined by the familiar weight of a sword and the worn brim of an azure cap. But when the inherited power erupted from Akurai, Gijirou didn't flee. They stood their ground, and the magic, seeking an anchor, found one. It didn't break them; it wove itself into their spirit, leaving their very essence shimmering with sapphire light. They journeyed to The Underworld to understand this shared burden, where the crimson sky and ash-choked air taught them a new kind of endurance. Now, they are the grounding wire for a power that could consume them both.
