So Earth helps herself.
The demon is pushed from her as if birthed in a fit of black ooze. He is her samurai set free to correct the wrong called humanity.
The Samurai quickly matures into the being it’s meant to be, the being the people of Earth made it become. A thing with Nebulous wings that hunger for the sky. A dripping red maw looking for souls to feed into the lifeblood of the dying planet. The cure. Its infinite strength begs to be used.
In dappled morning light, his skin hardens into honed armor covered with runes dedicating his existence to the eight tenants of bushido and the way.
Righteousness, Heroic Courage, Benevolence, Compassion, Respect, Honesty, Honour, Duty and Loyalty, Self-Control- all equal a death sentence if disobeyed.
