The Careful. That’s what the wizards of The Crystal Highlands of Armaria call them, mistaking Kohana’s constant vigilance for simple caution. They trade stories over warm drinks, their easy smile a perfect mask to match the one on their face, never letting anyone get close enough to ask about the Mega Sabre that hums softly on their back. Only Yuki knows the truth of the cold they once endured together. When Yuki slew the great crystalline beast in the mountains, they absorbed its power. But a fragment, a shard of its malevolent, freezing will, escaped. Kohana was the one who captured it. The sabre is not a weapon; it is a prison. Their entire life is a careful dance to ensure the lock holds.
