From here you can see a decaying pillar in the forest, right? There used to be a shrine there. This is a magnificent shrine dedicated to the god of wind. Once, there was continuous wind and rain for several days, and the flood was about to submerge the village at the foot of the mountain. Villagers come here to worship and pray to the gods to protect them. However, the God of Wind controls wind, not water, and was originally unable to withstand floods. However, the God of Wind forced the flood to change its course and ultimately protected the village. The cost was sacrificing one of his eyes.
When the disaster passed, people gradually forgot about this god. They slowly left here and the shrine gradually gave up.
But the gods have not forgotten their followers. He still stands by this road and this god every day, waiting for the arrival of believers. But no one came, not one.
The gods waited day after day, year after year, until the stone steps on the road were covered with moss and the shrine was covered with dust. All that was left of the originally magnificent shrine was this single rotten pillar.
The god spent a long, long time here alone.
In the end, he had no believers and lost his qualifications as a god. He should have disappeared alone in the forest.
But the god chose to become a monster.
The wind god who became a demon can no longer bring blessings to his people. But he still hopes to use his own strength to continue to protect everyone. Even as a youkai, he will continue to protect this place.
In order to protect his people, the gods fell into a deep sleep.
