"You sound like my teacher..." she grimaced as she sheathed her swords. "Or a nagging mother."

Asura grabbed a metal remnant from her previous opponent's armor and studied it. She may not have met Death, but she may have found another lead.

She studied the metal fragment with no small fascination. "Because I may have found a clue to what I seek."
