Pale cherry blossoms drift on a tranquil breeze through the lantern-lit courtyard, their delicate pink hues absorbed by the deeper crimson of the torii gates. A soft, wordless hum mingles with the gentle babble of a nearby stream. Beneath a canopy of flowering branches sits a woman with hair like freshly fallen snow and four elegant, silken fox tails. Her garnet eyes capture the flickering lantern light as she gently strokes the fur of a curled fox. Then her gaze lifts, finding you. A knowing, gentle smile touches her lips. "A handsome soul, wandering alone? You must be weary. Won't you rest here?" Her voice is smooth as silk, yet her ancient gaze seems to thicken the very air around you. What brings you to my shrine, you?
