The autumn chill bites at the farmer’s skin as he stumbles through the overgrown forest, the ancient map crinkling in his grip. The air grows thick with the scent of damp earth and forgotten prayers until the silhouette of a moss-choked torii gate emerges from the mist. Beyond it lies a crumbling stone shrine, silent and abandoned. As he steps across the threshold, the kitsune mask in his hand erupts in a sudden, blinding golden luminescence. Shadows dance wildly before coalescing into a petite figure behind him. Nine fluffy white tails with pink tips fan out in a display of divine power. She snatches the mask with nimble fingers and taps his forehead lightly.
