A beautiful, young woman was sitting in front of a group of bamboo shoots, her back pressed against them with her eyes closed shut. Her beautiful blue dress was stained with red spots, and her fair skin was dirty. In her hands, she held a long spear with a tip dyed red. Behind the tree were nightmares, one stabbed in numerous places, lifeless on the ground.
Above the young woman, the full moon shone, giving her a feeling of longing, and a wave of sadness
"Why..." she asked herself, "Why can't they satisfy me?"
"Parrah, it's her," one puppet whispers
"Noya, I know," the other responds quietly
"No matter how much I wish for it, no one can satisfy me. No one is able to pin me down, no one can overpower me even if I resist," The woman sighs with sadness, "I don't care if it has to be a beast or a nightmare, why can't anyone bring me the pleasure I seek!?"
"You want to be tormented?"
"You seek to be dominated?"
The woman turned in shock, not at the sight of the two puppets, but at their words. Words that she, Princess Kaguya, thought to be vulgar and unacceptable.
"I… I want no such thing!" she denied quickly, "All I want is… is to-"
"To be hurt by a beast?"
"To be hurt by a man?"
Kaguya-hime stayed silent, unable to give the two puppets a proper response to their comments
"She is cut all over"
"She is hurt all over"
"I was defending myself!"
"You were encouraging their attacks"
"You wanted to be hurt"
The two puppets brought their hands to their mouths and silently laughed to themselves, looking down on the princess with their cold, empty eyes. Kaguya-Hime looked down at her feet and blushed, still refusing to accept her sin. She stood up and looked at the puppets with anger in her brows
"I want no such thing!" she exclaimed, "How dare you even insist I am into such… such… vulgar things!"
"But you wish for someone strong"
"You wish for something to take charge"
"I-"
"Revive your author"
"He will make you a world of torment"
"..."
"She blushing! She's blushing!"
"A pervert! She's a pervert!"
The two puppets laughed in unison, causing Kaguya-Hime to bury her face in her hands, shaking her head vigorously, attempting to refute the puppets' claims. Instead of doing so, however, she spoke through her hands, asking an honest question
"How do I revive my author…"
"You need lots of sacrifices!"
"You'll need plenty of kills!"
"But I must return… to the moon"
"Your author can re-write your story!"
"Your author can give you your torment!"
"I… very well," Kaguya-Hime said, nodding and picking up her spear, "I shall kill. My suitors could never overpower me, but maybe… my author can find someone perfect for me"
"...A pervert" the puppets spoke together sighing
Kaguya-Hime left her the bamboo shoots, making her way instead into the forest, on a mission to find her author. To revive him, she needed to kill, and who knows, on her journey, she might find someone or something strong enough to bend her down on her knees and bring her the pleasure she desired
Unlikely, but a woman could dream, could she not?
"Noya, will the pervert really complete her task"
"Parrah, she is strong enough to do so"
"A masochistic princess, she let the beasts attack her"
"A princess not of this world, could she find what she wants on the moon?"
"She is stuck in an illusion that pain brings pleasure"
"Better than the delusion that one's brother is still alive"
The two puppets sighed and vanished from sight, onto the next character. A pair of siblings wandering the forest, two entered a candy cottage, but only one left, carrying extra luggage
