Miko hadn't seen much. Anything beyond 'Korea' was a gnawing abyss. Whatever drove the priestess was more powerful than she could handle.

Ame and Kiara decided to investigate rumors in the capital.

They didn't wait long.

A girl in a beret put her hand on Ame's shoulder in an attempt to scare her.

"Wah!"

Ame found it cute.

"You're looking for me." It wasn't a question, but a statement.

"Depends. Are you emptiness incarnate?" she said jokingly, but the girl got serious.

"I'm human. But I'm going with you."

Just like that, the priestess was recruited. Or she'd recruited herself.
