The sounds of battle rose around Yumi: steel, claws, the wet crack of bone. Somewhere nearby, she heard someone whooping. [color=a8d7e8][i]Probably Youko,[/i][/color] she mused with the faintest of grins. Her attention stayed forward, fixed on the slow, relentless advance spilling from the treeline. The pattern was too clean, too consistent. They didn't wander or hesitate, but pressed forward in a steady flow, filling gaps the moment they appeared.

[color=a8d7e8][i]The Commander was right. Something's leading them.[/i][/color]

Her eyes narrowed slightly beneath her hood, tracking the spaces between the trees, searching for something, anything out of the ordinary.

[color=a8d7e8][i]A shape. A pause. A watcher. Something—[/i][/color]

A corpse lurched into her periphery.

Yumi's body moved before the thought finished. The scythe traced a perfect circle in the air, biting into the top of the wight's skull before exiting through the groin. The halves collapsed into the snow, twitching.

She didn't spare it a glance, her eyes still scanning the treeline.
