Daku Izanagi stretched his arms wide, feeling the crisp air of Rion against his skin. It was a refreshing change from the divine realm, where everything felt stagnant and old. Here, the air was alive with energy, and Daku could feel it coursing through him like a burst of electricity.
He stood on the edge of a cliff, overlooking a vast valley. The landscape was a mix of lush forests and towering mountains, with rivers cutting through the earth like silver threads. This world was teeming with life, and Daku felt a sense of excitement he hadn't felt in ages.
As he descended from the cliff, he marveled at the vibrant colors and the harmony of nature around him. Birds sang in the trees, and small creatures scurried through the underbrush. It was peaceful, and Daku took his time exploring the area.
While he walked, he heard a rustling in the bushes. Curious, he approached slowly, not wanting to startle whatever was there. To his surprise, a young girl emerged, her hair as black as midnight and her eyes a striking shade of emerald green. She wore a simple tunic and carried a small satchel over her shoulder.
"Who are you?" she asked, her voice steady but filled with curiosity.
"Daku," he replied with a smile. "I'm new here."
The girl nodded, studying him with a critical eye. "You look a bit lost. Need some help?"
Daku chuckled. "I could use a guide. This place is much bigger than I expected."
The girl extended her hand. "I'm Aiko Hanazawa. I know this forest like the back of my hand. Stick with me, and you'll be fine."
Daku took her hand, grateful for the companionship. Together, they ventured deeper into the forest, where the magic of Rion awaited them.
