Standing by the window, my gaze pierced through the night, looking towards the direction that had already vanished. Her figure, like a wisp of light breeze, quietly dissipated into the darkness. Something deep within me seemed to be touched; this was not the end, but rather the beginning of a new story.
I lowered my head, looking at the thick "Book of Time" in my hands. It still emitted a faint glow, its pages turning gently. Every story within was closely linked, as if every memory, every unresolved knot in the heart, was hidden within these words. This book was not merely a record of the past; it was a key to the future.
My fingers lightly traced the pages, and I could feel a certain power hidden within the book. This power made me feel both shocked and uneasy. Unraveling the knots in the hearts of the yokai seemed not only for their sake but also for the sake of the entire world, and perhaps, even for myself.
I opened the book, turning to the next page. This time, a few simple words appeared on the page – "Lost light, hidden in the sea of stars."
This was the story of the next yokai. A jolt went through me. I was already accustomed to such hints; this was the "Book of Time" calling out to me. This yokai seemed to have some indescribable connection with the starlight in the sky.
I walked to the window, gazing at the bright moon hanging high above. It was still so cold, so distant, as if isolated from this world. I suddenly thought that she had once guarded the moon, and now, it seemed she had lost that radiance.
"Lost light, hidden in the sea of stars..." I murmured softly. Countless questions涌上 in my mind, but I knew this was the riddle I had to solve.
I walked out of the inn's door, the cold wind brushing against my cheeks, bringing a hint of coolness. Moonlight洒在我身上, and the surrounding world appeared exceptionally quiet. The stars in the night sky twinkled silently, like distant eyes, constantly observing everything.
Without much thought, I simply walked silently towards the open grassland. It was some distance away from the city's hustle and bustle. The air was fresh, and the starlight was even brighter. I stopped and looked up at the boundless starry sky.
"This is not just for admiring," I whispered to myself, suddenly feeling as if I understood something.
Just then, my eyes caught a faint speck of light. It was not conspicuous, even a bit dim, but its presence drew my attention. That speck of light seemed to be obscured by some invisible force, yet it was still trying to shine.
My heart beat faster. That was it. That lost light, the light of that yokai.
Without further hesitation, my feet moved unconsciously towards that speck of light. With each step, I could feel the surge within me. This was not just about unraveling a knot in someone's heart, but also a process of self-discovery.
As I walked closer, the starlight became brighter, and that speck of light began to flicker more clearly, as if telling me that I was on the right track.
Moonlight once again bathed me, and the whole world was immersed in this soft glow. At this moment, I knew that no matter how difficult this journey was, I had to continue. This was not just the story of a yokai, but also my story, the process of me searching for that lost light.
I took a deep breath, raised my head, looked at the twinkling starlight, and whispered, "I will help you find your light again, no matter how hard it is."
This journey had just begun.
