ninja_coder | Waiting at the Shrine by Nightfall

The shrine of Amaterasu needs reconsecration. The oni’s depredations have not been good for the shrine’s harmony and purity. I have hung a new shimenawa around the shrine, and there have been no new footprints over the past few nights… but there are the marks of an iron club on one of the nearby trees.

The local shrine-maiden is sweeping the floor and burning incense. I will hope that this is enough. If not… I shall have to do battle in the dark of night, against a mighty foe.
