 Dawn of the Demon

Mission Start Text

"It appeared without warning... A shining dragon leapt out of the Sohayamaru, but what was it trying to show me? To find the truth behind all of this, I sense that I must begin in the village depicted in the picture scroll."

Mission End Text

"Please, young one, could you kindly tell me what transpired here? I am afraid I remember almost nothing. All I can recall is the glow of your blade. There is no mistaking it – Sohayamaru, the sword capable of defeating any yokai. I do not possess the strenght to fight alongside you, but I will share with you all that I know. Let us face down the menace of Otakemaru together."
