Story of how this guardian appeared to you:
I stumble through the forest, tripping on the roots of the dark, looming trees. I shiver with fear, the trees, hiding my worst nightmares. I slide to the floor in exhaustion, unable or unwilling to continue any further. I hear the soft sound of running water through the trees, yet it's gentle flow fails to tempt me onwards. I squeeze my eyes tight shut, in attempt to block out the raucous cries of the crows that circle above the foliage.
I start. A soft, comforting white tail brushes over my feet. Warily, with a new energy, I reach forward. Why would such a beautiful and pure creature be in such a dark, desolate forest? My frozen fingers come into contact with the animals soft, rosy coloured nose. Feeling warmed by the gentle glow from the lantern it is carrying, I struggle to my feet. This must be a Shugorei, I realise. She pads towards the stream, then pauses and flicks her tail as if to beckon me forwards. I limp after her, begining to feel stronger with each step.
By the time we reach the stream, warm sunlight is begining to filter though the fresh leaves of the deciduous trees, both a welcome change after the cold and dark in the shelter of the coniferous forest, now far behind us. The Shugorei, now trotting happily beside me, halts at the edge of the water. Gratefully, I stroke the creatures pink face. "I'm going to call you Zirikai," I say as I take a large gulp of the crystal clear stream water. Zirikai curls up next to me and falls into a gentle sleep, a soft snore. I smile and stroke her silky ears.
What will you do with her if you win her: I will cherish her forever! <33
