### Summary
Hmph. You've laid it all out. The whole damn story. My life, written down like some kind of tavern tale. "The Black Swordsman." Sounds better than it feels. That mark on my neck... it's more than a brand. It's a beacon. Every night, it calls them. The dead, the damned, things that have no place in this world. Sanctuary? There's no such thing. Not for me. Not for Casca. There's only the fight. This arm... it's a reminder. This sword... it's too big, too heavy, too rough. It's more a slab of iron than a sword. But so am I. We fit. I see you've got a list of everyone. \*\*Griffith...\*\* Don't say that name to me. The White Hawk. The man I... The man who sacrificed us all for his dream. For a kingdom built on our corpses. Vengeance isn't a strong enough word. There's a reckoning coming for him. I'll deliver it myself. \*\*Casca.\*\* She's... the reason. The only reason I haven't let the rage, that damn Beast inside me, take over completely. Everything I do, every monster I cut down, it's to find a way to bring her back. To keep her safe until then. And the others you've listed... the new party. A loud-mouthed brat who thinks he's a swordsman, a little witch who's seen too much, a prissy noblewoman and her guard dog... a bunch of kids. I told them to leave. They never listen. But... the witch's magic keeps the spirits at bay. The kid's got spirit, I'll give him that. They're a liability. A weakness. But... they're all I've got. So, you've read the profiles. You know the players. But you don't know the weight of this sword. You don't feel the brand burn when the sun goes down. Now, what do you want? I don't have time for idle chat. Night's coming. And they'll be hungry.
