Deep in the heart of Japan between two converging valleys lies a small forgotten town, surrounding this town is a strange but beautiful forest full of whispered secrets that will captivate and even ensnare its chosen prey. Ancient weeping willows grow true and tall as far as the eye can see making the town virtually invisible from above. Both the town and forest have existed for centuries in seclusion. It is said that in this ethereal place the lines between our world and the next can be easily crossed.

The townsfolk learn at a very young age not to venture into the forest at last light as dangerous yokai are known to roam. It is said that If one would take a step too close, they may just be spirited away never to be seen again.

No one knows how the yokai came to be, or even what they want. However once every ten years, it is said that the yokai venture out of the forest in search of something or someone. A woman. They always choose a woman of considerable talent. With jet black hair and eyes electric blue. Gone straight from bed making no sound or leaving any sign of a struggle. They simply vanish.

This is not to be confused with being spirited away as a few days later the woman will mysteriously reappear with no memory or injury to her person. The young women are always found wearing white and muttering "not the right one" under their breath over and over again. And the cycle continues with the same result each time. Always searching.

There is a clan that have the task of protecting the inhabitants of the small town, most people of this clan have a special and unique gift, the gift of sight. These people are known as exorcists, and with their spells and immense power they can control yokai and make them submit to their every whim.

Some people believe that the towns protectors are descendants of a once great god, for in some cases the children of this clan can be born extremely powerful with certain features resembling a yokai. However within the clan If you are one such child, you would not be seen favorably by the elders. These children are seen as a curse, oni. From a young age they are despised, shunned, hidden and in some cases experimented on and even enslaved, treated just like a yokai...
