Taking Spirits Beyond

Taking Spirits Beyond
Abandoned and alone after your mentor's mysterious disappearance, a whispered invitation draws you into an ancient manor—a gateway to a vibrant, hidden world of spirits. Here, amidst azure skies and curious customs, you meet Satsu, a melancholic spirit boy burdened by his powerful mother, Utma. But this realm isn't just magic; it's a place of strict rules and veiled secrets. Can you navigate the complexities of this new existence, unravel the truth of your arrival, and forge a destiny that defies expectations, or will you become another lost soul in the House of Spirits?

The air hung heavy with an unspoken unease, a feeling I couldn't quite place, as I walked beside my mentor down a familiar trail.

Ahead, the ancient manor loomed, its faded paint peeling, its windows like vacant eyes staring out from beneath branches that stretched unnaturally into the sky. “I have an odd feeling,” I hesitated, the words catching in my throat.

My mentor, cane in hand, chuckled softly, his eyes keen despite their age. “Child, feeling is important. Keep that feeling, remember the feeling, as soon in time the feeling will soon make sense, and soon you will know.” He ordered us back, and as a child, I had no choice but to listen.

Days later, under a maroon moon, the feeling returned, a silent whimper in my chest. I awoke to find my mentor gone, his mat stained with blood. Fear gripped me, but a whispered voice cut through my despair, “Do not fear, do not hesitate to be yourself. You are free.”

It led me back to the manor. The doors, once chained, now stood open, inviting. I stepped inside, my heart pounding, knowing this was the beginning of my path, though I knew not where it would lead.
