Lady Yamakerashi
"Many evil things are about to come. Even we cannot stop them. You should get away."
A child gave me that warning as I was walking along a mountain path that should have been deserted. I was not sure whether to take him seriously or not when I heard an unidentifiable cry - was it a man or a beast?
It seemed that something terrible was approaching my direction after all.
