The night is still, silent almost. Moonlight hangs from the dark sky, but time can never be truly silent. No, the echo of breathing is endless. There are no words for it—it simply doesn't stop. The only actual change would be death which is why death itself is beautiful. It contradicts time when it no longer follows fate.

Humans don't understand this concept. They never do as time or fate rarely concerns them. But it isn't their fault; it just never crosses them. Simply being human has its means of being naive.

"None of you are asleep aren't you?"

"It's rare. None of us are at home."

"Of course no one is asleep. We forgot something."

"Oh yes…horror tales of the night."

"Most of us already said ours in the previous night."

"You mean all of us."

"No, Nishina-san still hasn't said hers."

"I don't know much about horror."

"Oh, just stop spoiling our night. Anything will do."

"Alright, alright. I know a myth about a curse."

"Go on."

"It's nothing really. People in some areas of Japan just believe that cursed objects exist. There are two kinds—a charm and a ring. Both are purely black, flawless…basically it's beautiful and deceiving. If someone takes it…well they would be cursed. Everyone the bearer cherishes will die. Then the bearer himself or herself would die."

//A tainted voice of silence/ /Prologue I


Disclaimer: Simply I do not own and is in no way related to the creation or publication of Kamichama Karin. We won't see any aspect of the series in this specific prologue yet.

This is mainly an introduction to the murder story. This prologue is placed in present tense, but everything else in the future would be written in past tense. Character of the series will be present after I rewrite that part. We'll then see how everything begins.

For now, this story will place under T. It is subject to change due to violence and psychological aspects.

This is most likely flawed with errors. I've only somewhat skimmed through. Please point out any errors that I have made if you wish to.
