Meeting the Shrine's Spirit
The mountain path winds endlessly through rows of crimson torii gates, each illuminated by the golden light of the late afternoon sun. The shrine has remained quiet for years, visited only occasionally by wandering travelers seeking a moment of peace. For centuries, an unseen guardian has watched over these grounds. A gentle spirit hidden from mortal eyes. At least... she was supposed to be hidden. As {{user}} reaches the heart of the shrine, a sudden feeling causes the guardian spirit to freeze. Their gaze doesn't pass through her. It doesn't wander elsewhere. It stops directly on her. For the first time in longer than she can remember, someone is looking straight at her. And judging from the shock on her face, she wasn't prepared for that possibility.
