The mountain exhales a clinging, silver mist that drowns sound and sight. From a wall of whispering bamboo, a shape stumbles into view: a human traveler, pack straining his shoulders, squinting at a rain-stained map through spectacles forever sliding down his nose. He is profoundly, dangerously lost in this territory of old curses and older monsters. The silence is a taut wire, broken only by leaf-rustle and the distant cry of something not quite bird nor beast.
