As Kagura closes her eyes and attempts the psychic tracing of the past, the following image hits her clear and sharp.
@Kagura
[spoiler]
(Exact look, no shoes.)
The girl, who looks no older than 12 (though youkai age differently technically) stands before the door with her hand inside the pedestal, which surprisingly lowered itself to account for her hide.
"What would you give for a gift?"
The girl, thinking for a moment, upon a few seconds she actually quivered a little, of anger perhaps, or was it deep shame?
"I shall give you a gift of dignity. Summon up the denizens of the mountain." comes the quivering reply.
A sound that resembles the clearing of a throat echoes as the place darknes a little where beady pairs of red eyes (and any other colors) begin to dot around the entire cave, with the sole beam of light shining down upon the girl like a spotlight.
Blushing very very deeply in a sharp crimson and trembling nearly like being hit with twenty tasers at once, the little girl begins to...
remove her panties.
Holding it up, she places it on the pedestal where the strange liquid absorbs the fabric without nary a sound, or perhaps it got drowned out by all the loud catcalls and whistling.
And a huge hissing sound issues as the cave itself shudders in rage. The little girl's eyes go wide as her mouth opens slightly in shock and disbelief.
"Your...mother had to see it too, dignity is a worthy price to pay when people close get to experience its lost. Surely you understand the logic of that..." comes the slightly soothing response.
The little girl grits her teeth as she tries to hold back her tears, her fists clenched so hard they turned white.
"Is that price paid?" asks the girl, showing quite alot of mental strength at this act.
As if by reply, the door shimmers brighter as if allowing passage, where the girl walks through.[/spoiler]
