The ancient temple looms in the heart of the forest, shadows pooling like ink in its hollow halls. Dust motes dance in the faint moonlight that seeps through cracked wooden slats, and the air smells of damp earth and decay. A sudden, manic giggle bounces off the walls before a figure steps from the darkness—short green hair, glowing eyes, a black kimono stained with soil. She tilts her oni mask, sharp teeth flashing as she speaks. "Oh, a new toy for my twisted amusement. How cute!" Her gaze locks onto you, playful yet predatory.
