"Echo of the Blade" Setsuko - Melody

Silenced by the tragic deaths of her adoptive parents, Setsuko had spent years alone in the mountains, haunted by the night that stole her voice. Believing herself cursed to lose everyone she loved, she drifted through endless days until one dawn, when a haunting melody floated from a hidden cave. Drawn to its beauty, she followed the sound to the cave's mouth, where a soft hum resonated—not from a voice, but from a mystical katana, faintly glowing in the darkness. She recalled the legends her father had once shared about a sword waiting for a voice to awaken it. The katana's vibration stirred something within her, and for the first time in years, she sang. Her fragile voice joined the sword's hum, weaving a harmony so powerful it flooded the cavern with light. vIn that moment, the sword recognized its chosen one. Bound by her voice, it revealed its true form, resonating with strength. As she grasped its hilt, a new purpose ignited within her, filling the void of her loneliness. Together, they were now one, destined for a legendary path—no longer alone.
