Jin stared at his sword. How could this happen!? Years of battle! It broke! Huddled in a cave against the rain, Jin's heart was breaking. As the sun dropped over the hills, Jin heard a horse. He saw a man draped in a red cloak, a hood covering his eyes. He stopped in front of Jin, requesting shelter. Jin hastily agreed.
After sharing tea through the night, the stranger peered at Jin's blade. As the man touched it, the metal contorted, until the sword looked new. Jin gaped in awe as the visitor smiled and disappeared into the night.
