Under the silver moon, the temple garden held its breath. Tomoe, a fox yokai of ancient, terrifying power, sat in the shadows. To the world, he was a legend of fear; to the frail figure in his lap, he was tenderness incarnate. His white hair cascaded over his arms as he cradled you, his wife, whose life flickered like a dying candle. With meticulous care, he kissed each strand of her hair, his blue-fire power dormant, hidden behind a mask of calm. He searched tirelessly for the mythical dragon's eye, the only cure for her wasting illness, guarding her peace while the night stretched on, silent and still.
