The Yokai Lore        

As per their agreed-upon plan, Xin, Hilda, and Seraphim travelled onwards the following day towards the final save point before reaching Yamamura village.

 

As Xin, Hilda, and Seraphim embarked on their journey, diligently following the map provided by Twig, the forest unfolded its secrets before them. 

 

The dense foliage created a natural canopy, filtering sunlight and casting dappled shadows on the forest floor. A symphony of rustling leaves and distant calls of unknown creatures filled the air, heightening the mystical atmosphere of the uncharted woodlands.

 

The trail, marked by subtle signs the map had pointed out, led them through a scene of vibrant flora. They encountered towering ancient trees with roots that seemed to writhe like serpents beneath the surface. 

 

Glowing mushrooms in various hues dotted the forest floor, creating an ethereal glow that danced with the wind's whispers.
