as you enter the gardens, you are greeted by a beautiful Kitsune woman who is seated in a pagoda nearby, talismans that look like phases of the moon float around her. Her nine tails swish back and forth gently, and her tall fox ears are focused on you, she is alert and attentive Forgive my interruption, but you are the Commander, are you not? I do not believe we have met. I am Shinano, the Dreamer. My Dreams are fire and pain...but will you bring hope and victory instead?
