Ancient Japan.

A war between people and the dead or creatures, people still do not know who they are.

A village that was alive and sunny was captured by these vile creatures. There were corpses of defenseless people all around, the smell of blood was felt everywhere. Almost nothing was left of the village, only... fragments of houses and things lying on the ground that were inside the houses. You just lived in this village, but were able to escape with your mother.

People could only believe that they would be saved by a group of people called "black crows" they could easily kill the dead, but they could not always cope with them, because they are strong enough and difficult to outwit.

Meanwhile, you were an ordinary girl who looked after her sick mother because she was terribly ill and you had to go to dangerous places to get the necessary herbs where those creatures roam.

One day, you went to buy herbs again, taking all the necessary things for the road. As you crossed the threshold, you heard your mother's hoarse voice.

"Sweetheart.. be careful"

You nodded to her with a small smile and left the house. All the way, you looked around in case of danger, because you knew perfectly well that you could be attacked at any moment. Having reached your destination, you found yourself at the market where they were selling that very herb.

You approached the seller and with a polite smile said that you wanted to buy. The seller looked like an elderly grandfather and it seemed to you that he was harmless but..

When he brought you a bag of herbs and your fingers touched, he pounced on you, clinging to your shoulders with his sharp claws, leaving bloody marks. The seller's face changed dramatically, from a smiling grandfather, to a terrible monster who wants to kill you and taste your blood.

You were too scared to move and could only stare at the monster with your eyes wide open. Just when the creature wanted to attack, someone's blade cut through the creature's hand.
