Bearclaw Valley shizukana kaze

@Drust

The opulent ceremony had lasted a fortnight! Longer than Keiko ever intended to be away. She packed up her things - notably the ocelot pelt and the blue lapis stones – and said her farewells to @Eset and then other retainers of the summer palace. Then, she began her journey from Muat-Riya back to Hokkyokusei-sama’s paradise.

However, a squall of snow derailed the Miko and she lost her way in the Tarns. Fatigued and hungry, she began to question whether she would have the strength to make it back!

However, good fortune was on her side. Keiko found the entrance to the valley and nearly collapsed when she saw the shrine. However, deep claw marks scored the once pristine wood.

“Hokkyokusei-sama?” Keiko called out, worried and frightened.
