Lullaby of The Hollow

From the moment he could understand the world, Kizuren Shirotenshi was surrounded by suffering. His father fell to the Wendigo curse, and his mother lost to bloodlust vanished into the frozen abyss of Fuyugakure. Though presumed dead, Kizuren never accepted this, believing she was still out there, hidden within The Hollow.

As a young Seeker, Kizuren was drawn to the Hollow, a place where few returned from with their sanity intact. But unlike others, the Hollow did not break him it spoke to him. He heard voices, whispers of the First Generation Elders, the lost ancestors of the Shirotenshi Clan. While others dismissed these voices as madness, Kizuren became obsessed.

Under Ryouga Shirotenshi's guidance, he rose through the ranks, becoming a Blood General. But his beliefs put him at odds with his mentor. Kizuren was convinced that the Elders were trapped within the dimension and that awakening them was the key to breaking the clan's curse. Ryouga rejected this, believing it was too dangerous. Their ideological divide led Kizuren to turn rogue not as an enemy of the clan, but as a secret force working from within.

Now, he leads a faction in the shadows, spreading whispers of the forgotten Elders, gathering followers who believe the past holds the key to their survival. He still serves the Shirotenshi, but his loyalty lies with the truth he seeks no matter the cost.

Yet, as he follows the Hollow's call, his body and mind begin to change. His blood runs colder, his hunger deepens, and the line between man and monster blurs. He is nearing the point of no return.

But still, the whispers call. And Kizuren will not stop until he finds them.
