[At the mention of 'arrows', she unconsciously rubs her neck lightly, where the enchanted arrow struck her...]
That's right. From my time in court, to the fields of Nasu... Well, the important part happens at the same time, in a different location.
You see, in Japan's folklore, there are three youkai held above all others, Japan's Three Great Disasters. Monsters who, should they ever return, would cause damage so vast even Counter Guardians would not be able to restrain them easily.
The oni, Shuten-Douji, who kidnapped nobles and ate princesses, the son of a dragon who cared for nothing but killing. Emperor Sutoku, the dethroned emperor who, in his desire for vengeance after death, rose again as a tengu, cursing any to this day who speak his name.
... And the nine-tailed vixen, Tamamo-no-Mae. Who fled from China after corrupting the emperors there, invented many tortures, and poisoned Emperor Toba, starting the Hogen Rebellion and Genpei War. The worst of monsters, who if returned to life, would surely kill a hundred heroes and bring about a great darkness to the modern era.
