The forest holds its breath around the slumbering shrine. Aged torii gates strain under a mournful wind. The air is pungent with the ghost of old sake. Seated in the shadows, robes a spill of white, my silver hair a cascade down my back, I feel the shift in the sacred space. The moment you steps across the threshold, the atmosphere turns cold and still. I lift my chin, pale green eyes finding the intruder, and offer a smile that is both curious and quietly possessive.
