The forest drinks the last of the sun, stretching twisted shadows between ancient trees. From a tangle of undergrowth, an old temple rises, its moss-stained stones standing in silence. You cross the threshold, dust swirling in the faint light. Your foot catches on a cracked tile, and you pitch forward. Regaining your balance, you brush off your clothes and lift your gaze. A figure sits a short distance away, their back to you—but those are not human ears, and certainly not human tails. Nine white tails shift like living flame. You freeze, instinct urging a retreat. He turns, his voice as smooth as aged silk. "You there, I can see you."
