> "Oh... I see..."
> As soon as we rest up, we're moving! Let's get to this chapel place, and fast!

> You wait a while until your feet stop hurting, and then the two of you continue on. As you walk, you start seeing shadows moving past the trees.
> It's still so dark as you continue on, and you have no idea what time it is. Nevertheless, you and Kouyoshi keep going.
> Eventually, the ground starts to slope down again.

> Keep an eye on those shadows, and carefully go down the slope.

> Keep an eye on those shadows, and carefully go down the slope.

> You inch your way down the slope, keeping an eye on the shadows. All goes well, but when you finally reach the bottom, you start to hear flapping sounds.
> So does Kouyoshi, apparently. Her ears are perked up.

> The last time you heard flapping sounds, you were ambushed by flying eyeballs. The memory sends chills up your spine.

> Kouyoshi nods. "Sounds like wings."
> You keep walking, but the flapping sounds don't go away.
> You then hear a loud thud, and the trees shake. Kouyoshi stops dead in her tracks.
> "Huh?"

> Jump, and get closer to Kouyoshi. Make sure our katana's ready to be used!

> You walk closer to Kouyoshi. This can't be good.
> Kouyoshi is looking around as she walks, her ears twitching. There's another thud, and her ears droop.
> "Hey, I've heard of pretty big youkai being in the forest sometimes," Kouyoshi says. "What do you think they'd look like?"

> Another thud.
> "I don't think kitsune can get that big," Kouyoshi reassures you. "I was thinking more along the lines of a giant skeleton youkai. Actually, I don't think they're here, but do you remember what they were called?"
> Taking down a kitsune the size of a house wouldn't be the best task in the world...

> You think so. It was supposed to be another one of those really powerful youkai. Then again, anything that's bigger than normal would be somewhat intimidating.

> You follow Kouyoshi. Along the way, you keep your eyes peeled for anything out of the ordinary.
> For a split second, you think you see a huge shadow pass through the trees, but it's gone too fast for you to figure out what it was.
> The trees are starting to clear out, just a bit. You can see the darkening sky above you, now; it's already sunset.

> A roof? Move more quickly towards it!

> You run towards where you see the roof.
> You reach the top of the hill, and find yourself overlooking a clearing of sorts, or at least an area with less trees. There, right in the middle of it, tucked between two mountains is a castle. It's probably bigger than the entirety of Mayohiga. There are towers of varying heights, each with spires, and ridged walls interwoven throughout the structure. The walls are dotted with windows, like little prickpoints of light. You think you can even see something green on one of the highest towers. Leading out of the whole thing is a stone bridge, stretching over the abyss of trees below.
> Kouyoshi's eyes are as wide as dinner plates. Given that it takes about ten steps to get from one end of her house to another, it would be only natural for her to react this way.

> Kouyoshi's ears and tail droop. "You could fit a hundred people in there."
> You start down the hill towards the bridge. The closer you get to the chapel, the more detail you can see engraved in the stone walls. Kouyoshi hops past you and makes a beeline for the bridge, holding onto her hat as she goes.

> You follow Kouyoshi onto the bridge. It's made out of a really pretty stone, probably marble. There are figures of soldiers, youkai, various battles and even more placid scenery carved into the sides. It's unbelieveably detailed.
