You find yourself in an icy cave within a great mountain. As you wander around, you enter, of all things a large shrine to Gao. When you go to get a closer look, you see a female werewolf picking flowers and talking to herself. She looks very excited over something; only calming down after she picks the last petal.

“She loves me… She loves me not… SHE LOVES ME!!! Oh, YEAH!!! The flowers don’t lie, Gao-rin loves me, case closed! I wonder how I should celebrate…” she then finally notices you “…Oh! Hello there. I’m Lan-Lan. Do you like my shrine? I made it special!”

Indeed, you do recognize her: Lan-Lan, one of the top servants of the dark witch, Akurjo. You didn’t expect to see her here! You also didn’t expect her to be such a hopeless romantic when it came to that Gao witch. And you DEFINITLY didn’t expect her to act like such a smitten, lovesick pig of a teenager! How the hell did this idiot get to be a part of Akurjo’s team, anyway?!

“It looks fantastic, doesn’t it! Oooh! Just looking at it GETS ME PUMPED UP!!! I can’t wait until I can-“

Suddenly, some ogres surround her, intending on making her a snack. She pays them no mind when one of them smashes the shrine and roars at her. She looks at the wreckage with a twitching eye and a stunned, horrified expression. A look of absolute hatred and rage crosses her face as she begins to weep.

“…You… You… You… You… YOU!!! WHY YOU!!! I SPENT HOURS WORKING ON THAT YOU JERKS!!!”

As Lan-Lan leaps into action and rips the unfortunate monsters apart with her bare hands, making sure they feel as much pain and suffering as possible before she finishes them off, one thing races through your mind: “Oh. Yeah. THAT’S why Akurjo keeps her around…”
