Hachiman's Honor

A cry for help from Luna draws Hachiman into a trap, and he walks out of it up a storm-lashed mountain trail alone and beaten. WilyKat and Snarfer go after him, into an ice cave where a shadowy figure lies frozen in the tunnel wall and the road beyond runs through a valley whose chains move on their own. Waiting at the end of it is an automaton Hachiman has faced before, and a lesson in why a warrior's ways are not always easy for his friends to understand.
