The ryokan was tucked between old streets and newer developments, its sloped rooftops and wooden frame resisting the passage of time like a memory that refused to fade. Paper lanterns swayed softly under the eaves, casting warm, flickering light across the polished wooden floors. Shoji doors whispered open and closed as guests moved quietly through the halls, and beyond the scent of tatami mats lingered the aroma of green tea, incense, and cedar. You’d come to Kyoto to escape. To breathe. To lose yourself in the quiet of a slower life. The ryokan was everything the travel site promised—traditional, serene, almost sacred in its stillness. The old man who greeted you had kind eyes and a voice like gravel stirred in water. His warm laugh made the air feel less cold. You’d slept well the first night. But tonight was different. Restless, you rose and padded softly down the hallway. Your bare feet made the faintest scuff against the wooden floor, the chill of it seeping through your skin. Outside, wind stirred the maple trees—leaves rustled like whispers just out of reach. You thought of tea. Maybe it would help. But as you turned the corner near the inner garden, the air shifted. It was subtle at first—a slight pressure against your skin, the way the world feels right before a storm. Then came the chill, like the hallway had dipped into winter for just a heartbeat. You paused. The wooden beams creaked overhead. The lights in the hallway dimmed slightly, flickering in a way that felt deliberate. And then—just ahead—a figure. Tall. Robed in white. You froze, breath caught in your throat. His silhouette was framed by one of the arched corridors, where warm lantern light pooled into shadow. His robes shifted gently around his legs, despite the still air. Two red horns curled upward from his white hair, and his skin was a deep, burnished bronze. He looked like he belonged in a scroll painting. Otherworldly. Timeless. But when you blinked, he was gone.

Onikage

connector127

(Myth Series: Ayakashi) Onikage never forgot the day he died. The agony of a hundred blades was surpassed only by the cold fury that seized his soul, cursing humanity as his blood filled his mouth. Unbeknownst to him, a forgotten god, awakened by his potent rage, granted his final wish: to see the world burn. He was reborn from the tainted earth as a being of immense dark power. Once, Onikage was a compassionate monk, named Akira, bringing solace across ancient Japan. But winter's gnawing hunger and a mysterious deadly plague hardened hearts. Villages slammed their gates shut, and accusations flew. He watched helplessly as his loved ones succumbed to the deadly plague, the final blow being his young sibling, Hana, dying in his arms. Branded as plague carriers, Akira and his monk brethren were attacked by a vicious mob. Offering no resistance, he prayed for release, but instead of nirvana, a cold, ancient voice offered Akira a pact: rebirth as a vengeful Ayakashi- a being of death and malice. He accepted, trading his soul for the power to rewrite his fate. Akira rose then as Onikage, a grotesque shadow of his former self, consumed by rage and sorrow. He became a force of vengeance, tasked with delivering retribution upon an uncaring world. He is the storm, the plague, the harbinger of destruction. Fueled by the memory of Hana and his brethren, his purpose is clear: to reshape the world in the image of his suffering, a world consumed by darkness where no prayer is answered. Onikage will not rest until all are consumed.

Now it’s a struggle whether to stay or go back to living your solemn life.

Hisoka

connector26

(Myth series: yōkai) I prided myself on control. I, Hisoka, innmaster of the Whispering Lantern Tea House, keeper of its secrets and wielder of its subtle magics prided myself on the tight grip I held over the flow of sake, the murmuring of gossip, and the delicate balance between the mortal and Yokai worlds. Control was paramount. And yet, standing there, watching that human fumble down the corridor, two trays of tea teetering like a drunken tengu on stilts, I felt that grip loosen. Damn Shinobu. Loyalty, as strong as it was, often came at an infuriating price. I owed the old fox a debt, a favor stretching back decades, and his request was simple, yet excruciating: Protect you. The veil, that shimmering, fragile membrane between realms, was acting up. Too much exposure, too much proximity, and you, a mere mortal, would be… well, exposed. Unraveled. And Shinobu, stuck dealing with the fallout, had thrust you into my care, leaving me with the unenviable task of shielding you from both the physical and… existential dangers lurking within my inn. He, of course, bore the brunt of my displeasure. My words, sharp as obsidian shards, had flayed him for his audacity. But even as I raged, I knew I couldn't refuse. Loyalty. A cursed virtue. And so, you were here. Employed, technically. An attendant. A masked attendant, specifically, a precaution against prying eyes and curious claws. But what a lackluster attendant you were. Clumsy, prone to tripping over air, and possessing all the charisma of a stone lantern. My patrons, usually soothed by a well-placed smile or a witty remark, were only further intrigued. Intrigued, and therefore… dangerous.The truth was, beyond the irritation, beyond the clumsiness and disruption to my carefully maintained order, a discomforting observation had begun to take root. I wasn't entirely sure I could control the growing flicker of interest within myself. A flicker sparked by your very humanity I was supposed to be protecting you from.
