David Kudler
“No harm," he said as he danced on, cutting the air. Only now, the snowflakes began to bleed as he cut them. Battle of white and scarlet...
"Oto-san, what can I do?" I wept in the dream, my tears freezing to my cheeks.
"Dance," he said, his face still and calm, his blade whistling through the air. Blood flew from the tip of the sword, painting characters of death and disaster across the white ground.
Dancing.”
David Kudler, Risuko: A Kunoichi Tale

“The riverbank was thick with wings. Black feathers overshadowed the summer-green leaves and turned the trees into ragged Halloween specters in flapping obsidian.”
N.P. Thompson, River of Crows
