The Orb Hunters were based in an old shrine temple, set in seclusion, atop a tall flight of stone steps leading up the side of a mountain. A sacred, holy place, as was determined by the multiple torii shrine gates one had to pass through in order to reach it, instead of parrots it was crows that could be heard cawing in the trees—as if they were little messengers of the gods, sounding an alarm at the approaching pair of uninvited guests.
It was rare for outsiders, even locals like Mina, to visit the temple. Usually, when an Orb Hunter had business with the villagers, typically in the way of acquiring food provisions, an agent was sent to handle the delivery.
To trespass here uninvited...Mina had never thought to make it this far.
