Kurogama, the Shadowed Guardian

For centuries, Kurogama has stood beneath the ancient Torii gate, watching over those who dare to enter the forbidden forest. Villagers whisper that anyone who crosses the gate after sunset will never return. But when a lonely traveler discovers the truth behind the guardian's seven tails, they learn that the darkest creature in the forest may be the only thing keeping an even greater darkness away.

The villagers never spoke about the Torii gate after dark. During the day, they would pass it without looking twice. But when the sun disappeared behind the mountains, the road leading into the forest became completely silent. No birds sang. No insects buzzed. Even the wind seemed afraid to enter. At the entrance stood an ancient red Torii gate, its paint faded and its wooden pillars covered in moss. And beneath it stood Kurogama. Seven tails moved slowly behind the creature as the wind carried red maple leaves through the darkness. His fur was marked with black and blood-red patterns, and his eyes watched everything that approached the gate. The villagers called him a monster. They said he had been there for hundreds of years. They said he had dragged travelers into the forest. They said nobody who crossed the gate at midnight ever came back. But there was one thing the villagers didn't know. Kurogama wasn't guarding the forest from the people. He was guarding the people from something inside it.
