Something innate keeps him there, knelt and obedient. Something tells him that he belongs there. That he was made to obey just as he was made to kill. It's all he knows. It's all he is.

We all know the fate of the heretical warrior, Genichiro Ashina. A man cornerned by a powerful and scheming foe, chased down by a dutiful shinobi, chided by a child of the gods and killed by his own powerlessness. But what if fate had been different for the feudal lord? What if he was given clarity and a choice?

"There's better uses for your tongue," Genichiro told him. Weakly, Wolf glanced back upwards. His face was flushed, his breaths soft and tremulous, his own cock hard and straining against his hakama. "Teeth aren't a necessity."

Genichiro knows their arrangement isn't healthy, but he can't help himself.

Wolf gets better at entertaining his young master.

No matter how hard Genichiro tries, he always plays into Wolf's hands.

"It pains me to see how many innocent people fall to my childish dreams, but to see you bear the brunt of it . . . " "It is no less than I deserve," Wolf replied honestly, "for failing you and them." Wolf willingly accepts the consequences of his sins. tw: child death

Kuro was never meant to be exposed to the world's horrors, but this time, he is the only person Wolf can think to go to.

Kuro knows better than to ask Wolf to rest. Instead, he asks Wolf to keep him company.

A veces me entristece ver las flores de cerezo caer. ¿Por qué, si su destino es perecer, nos deleitamos por sus muertes? No sé si es bueno o no. ¿Tú qué piensas, Lobo?

What if Genichiro showed up to help Emma out? What if they managed to escape the castle? What path will they take?

To abandon oneself in a pointless search for power...how tragic, indeed. A side-story about Genichiro's quests for obtaining more power, following his defeat atop Ashina Castle.

His eyes, red as the blood that dirtied his maw, were of a man driven by rage, despair, and hunger. Especially hunger.

The one-armed wolf walks alone... or so he thought. Emma saves Sekiro from Shura and certain death.

Emma lives her days out training in medicine with her father Dogen, then being a helper to Lord Isshin. However Isshin sees that Emma has much more potential than she knows. Thus she starts her way to the Gentle Blade.

Coming back to Ashina's Castle, the grandson of Isshin only finds fiery destruction in the wake of a demon. Cut down once again, but also stripped off everything he has. The lands which he had sworn to protect were now in ruins and no hope was there ever for repair. And thus begins, a Dragon's journey to retribution.
