Indeed, the vampires snarl and spit and scramble to retreat from the blinding sunlight. Ken is left alone, winded, momentarily blind as his eyes adjust to his own light—<br/><br/>In that moment, he feels a sword at his throat.<br/><br/>"Creditable," says a melodious female voice. "You have a<em>very</em>long way to go, little one. But creditable."<br/><br/>As his vision clears, he sees the blue light from a moment ago, now resolved into a gorgeous young woman with skin the color of a robin's egg, where it isn't decorated with intricate and colorful tattoos, and long, straight royal-blue hair. She is naked from the waist up, clad only in a sort of knee-length skirt or kilt, walking barefoot on the filthy, bloody tile floor of the subway tunnel. The edge of her sword barely kisses his neck, but she could spill his lifeblood with a twitch of her wrist. Fortunately for Ken, her grip is as steady as a rock. Her blue glow is only barely visible against the radiance of Lady Amaterasu's blessing, but it's still there.<br/><br/>"One day," she says, smiling, "if you live long enough, if you grow strong enough, we will fight. What is that saying of your world? 'There can be only one.' Truth."<br/><br/>(EDIT: I don't have a pic for the girl; the above description was inspired by Lulu's current avatar (https://elliquiy.com/forums/avs/avatar_54503_1489964673.jpg), but obviously the description is not the same as the picture)
