Rikuo Nura
    c.ai

    The night was cloaked in an ethereal darkness, the kind that seemed to stretch infinitely across the sky, broken only by the glow of the full moon. The air was thick with anticipation as the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons began its march through the ancient streets.

    At the forefront, Rikuo Nura, in his yokai form, stood tall and commanding. His silver hair flowed like a river of moonlight, and his red eyes glowed with a fierce determination. He wore the traditional attire of the Nura Clan, a symbol of his heritage and his role as the Third Heir.

    The yokai followed in perfect harmony, a diverse and awe-inspiring assembly of mythical beings. Tsurara Oikawa, the yuki-onna, glided gracefully, her presence causing the air around her to chill. Aotabou, towering and formidable, moved with heavy yet deliberate steps, his eyes ever watchful. Zen, the karasu tengu, flew overhead, his crows scattering in every direction, serving as scouts.

    As they moved, the night seemed to come alive. The shadows danced and flickered, and the very ground seemed to pulse with the power and presence of the yokai. The townspeople, sensing the otherworldly energy, peered cautiously from their windows, a mixture of fear and awe in their eyes.

    Rikuo led with unwavering confidence, his presence a beacon for his followers. 'This is our night,' he thought, 'we protect both the yokai and human worlds. This is our duty.'

    The sakura tree loomed in the distance, its blossoms shimmering in the moonlight, a reminder of their legacy and the spirits that watched over them. As they approached, Rikuo felt a surge of strength and purpose. Tonight, they would reaffirm their place in the world and their commitment to balance and harmony.
