L5R Session 03-2: Please Awake

"Time seemed to slow as the blast hit her. She had already taken out one of the enemy shugenja and was still very much fit for battle, but the demon's power was something altogether different. In a flash, she was in a heap on the ground, her weapon lying uselessly beside her. Unconscious? Or worse? He was barely hanging on, but his mind focused on just one thought that gave his body resolve: Get. To. Her."

All the semi-forced art practice is finally showing results. Compared to the previous artworks in this series, the quality is starting to show significant improvement. And just in case you're wondering: yes, she's still alive. They have a lot to learn where fighting demons and shugenja are concerned, but a good meal and some rest will get her back on her feet. The ghostlike figure watching them is a friendly mazoku ally (shown wearing a cloak borrowed from the unconscious character).
