Evil takes on many forms, but always carries a karmic curse
It spawns monsters that lurk in the mountains where the adepti dwell
Preying on the living for decades
It manifests as devastating pestilences, scarring the world for centuries
It is the sworn duty of the yaksha to purge all evil
But after millennia of bloodshed, the karma takes a toll...
A moment of complacency, and I too will succumb to the darkness
An instant of negligence, and it will turn me into one of the monsters I swore to purge
"After millennia of suffering, and endless slaughter"
"I now see things for what they really are"
You slept the whole day through, you know. Good thing you're awake
You're just in time for the Lantern Rite
I carried you here, on my back
I'll go get you some medicine now
Hehe, did I scare you? Don't worry, this mask is to scare away monsters
It really works! You don't need to be afraid
Aw, are you okay? You look tired
Grandpa! Give him some rice wine pudding!
Well hello there! Care to join me for a drink on this fine evening?
Huh? *sniff* You started celebrating already... Any rice wine for me?
Sorry. Tonight... I just want to rest
Hehe, very nice
*sigh* It's good to take the mask off once in a while... even just for one night
