Inazuma is so scary… Aether thought to himself while exploring the depths of the nation. Poisonous water and air, constant rain, deadly lightning bolts… It was all too much to handle. He missed Mondstadt and Liyue greatly. Even the enemies around here… he thought, are so big and scary. The Nobushi and Kairaigi samurais were at least three times his size, towering over him like tall sandbearer trees. But he knew he mustn’t stop now, no matter how terrifying and large everything may have appeared to be in this nation.
He was wandering around by himself, as Paimon was too tired to tag along with him. He understood. With the intense and threatening atmosphere, who would want to go adventuring in such a place? Paimon instead opted to stay at home, in their teapot, probably sleeping or eating or chatting with Tubby.
He was exploring Narukami Island, searching for unopened chests and wandering seelies. He was now on the south side of Mt. Yougou, a little worn out from recently defeating a camp of hilichurls. He noticed right at the base of Mt. Yougou were stone steps leading up to the top somewhere. He had heard from Thoma that there was a shrine on Narukami Island, right at the top of the mountain. He wondered if these stairs led to that shrine. When he walked closer, he could confirm that yes, the stairs did lead to the shrine as he noticed a torii gate.
He made his way towards the gate but stopped in his tracks upon noticing another presence. A Fatui Mirror Maiden, standing near the torii gate. He weighed his options. Should he flee discreetly or engage in battle? He didn’t have time to come to a decision, however, as the Mirror Maiden noticed him first.
“Heh, I heard you,” she said, an enticing lilt in her voice. A mirror emerged from behind her and she disappeared in it, then another mirror emerged in front of him, the Maiden revealing herself with a smile.
From up close, Aether could tell that the Mirror Maiden was actually quite beautiful. Although her eyes could not be seen, her pale skin, blue lipstick, and voluptuous figure still painted a portrait of a woman with tremendous beauty. Her height towered over him; she appeared to be at least twice his size.
Aether brandished his sword and lunged towards his opponent. She dodged with a quick sidestep and sent hydro bullets in his direction. He effectively reflected the bullets with his blade, then utilized his electro skill, lightning blade. The thunder shadows hit her, causing the Maiden to shriek in pain.
“I didn’t know you had the power of electro as well,” she snarled after regaining her composure. “Very well. Then I shouldn't be holding back.”
She lifted her arms up, the air around them becoming heavy with water. Aether wasn’t sure what to anticipate next, dashing to the other side of his enemy to ensure he can dodge whatever may come his way. In the air, the Maiden summoned lines of water to fall onto him. He evaded the attack, sprinting away before it could hit him. On the spot where the water hit, mirror shards were created on the ground, forming spinning hydro flowers. He exhaled, grateful that he dodged such an attack.
But in this moment of distraction, the Maiden then casted another attack directed at him.
“What the?” he said in surprise, eyes wide at the marking she had now placed on him. On his torso he can see four blue marks resembling the mirror shards, forming a target pattern on his body.
He lunged again at his opponent, swinging his sword in her direction, hoping that striking her would remove the mark.
“You can attack me all you want but that mark is irremovable,” she giggled.
“No fucking way.”
Aether tightened his grip around his sword, sending another lightning blade to attack her, then slashed his blade at her. The two battled in this manner for a bit, Aether in the offense while she evaded his strikes. She was right. No matter where he moved or what ability he executed, the marking on his body didn’t budge. He inhaled and exhaled heavily, trying to catch his breath.
Did this marking suck all of my energy and stamina as well?! He thought to himself frantically, exhaustion looming over him.
He swung his sword at her again, this time cutting a piece of the fabric of her headdress.
She stumbled backwards then executed another attack, sending him flying back a couple of feet. He groaned, standing up on his feet. He barely had time to regain his senses when the Maiden then summoned another attack. A cage consisting of hydro formed around where he stood, trapping him inside. His eyes went wide as the glass shards formed around him, preventing him from moving anywhere. He attempted to escape from the cage, jumping over it, hitting the glass with his sword, using his elemental powers on it, but nothing worked. Panic quickly settled in his bones.
Mirror shards began floating around the Maiden, an eerie ambiance in the air as she smiled at him.
“You’ve entertained me greatly. Let’s continue playing,” she said in a sing-songy voice. “This is my polarization state. Marking you with my shards has allowed me to trap you in my cage.”
The Maiden walked closer to him, the mirror shards that were just floating around her a moment ago evaporated into the air. He felt so small and meek as her long shadow casted over him, having to crane his head up just to look at her. She reached a hand out and roughly grabbed his chin, tilting his head up to look at her. Behind her, a hydro mirror emerged. Aether’s golden eyes moved from staring at the Fatui member before him to the mirror behind her, where he can see his reflection crystal clear. An odd sensation washed over him as he continued to stare at himself in the mirror, a dizzying feeling as if he was left stranded in deep ocean water, being motionlessly carried by the waves. His mind became foggy and he blinked several times. For a moment, he forgot where he was.
A pressure on his face and wrist brought his attention back to his enemy who had him trapped. The Maiden’s other hand grabbed his wrist, forcefully taking his sword from his grip. For whatever reason, Aether felt too weak to take his weapon back. With his weapon in her hand, she pressed the blade against his Adam's apple, though not harshly enough to where it can cut. She squeezed his face in her other hand.
“I said I wanted to keep playing,” she leaned down and breathed in his ear, her hot breath sending shivers down his spine. His heart raced, his nerves a mess. The Maiden giggled, then threw his sword aside. He heard the metal clang onto the ground.
“Let me go,” Aether glowered, though it was difficult to appear menacing in his position.
She chuckled. “My name is Maria, you may know me as the Fatui Mirror Maiden. My role is to worship my Archon, the Tsaritsa and carry out her will. I know who you are, Traveler. The Fatui has heard many tales of your heroic feats.”
“I don’t care for your name or your life story.” He struggled in her tight hold.
“You may not now but the Tsaritsa’s wish is to capture you, so you can join us. And that is my mission, to fulfill this wish.”
“Ha. In your dreams. I’m never joining the Fatui.”
She smiled then reached a hand out, sliding her arm between the space of the glass shards, and began caressing the open skin of his torso, the blue marks on him still bright and prominent.
“My, my, you do have a defined figure.”
Aether groaned at the touch, shutting his eyes closed as Maria continued to trace the marks she put on him with her fingers before slowly moving further down. She moved one finger down to his crotch, tracing the outline of his pants there.
“S-stop it,” he said through gritted teeth, eyes still shut closed.
Maria then began palming his crotch, gently stroking the area with her hand. Aether bit the inside of his cheek, trying to hold back his moans. The Maiden’s hand was so large she could probably hold the entirety of his dick in her palm, her long fingers would easily wrap around his length. A quiet moan escaped his lips at the thought, his core growing hotter and hotter.
The Maiden chuckled when she heard the sound he made, her hand on his crotch didn’t pause in its stroking. “I know you want this,” she said, tone sultry.
He shook his head immediately at those words. “N-no… I… Ah…”
“Your words betray your heart’s desire. My mirrors look into the souls of mortals and tell me your deepest wishes.”
She took her hand away from him and he almost whined at the loss of the touch, his member nearly twitching with want.
The Maiden snapped her slender fingers together and then the glass cage dissipated. Aether was surprised at the sudden occurrence and thought it could be his chance to escape. But in one quick movement, Maria placed her large hand on top of his head, pushing him down to the ground. He fell to his knees harshly, the skin through his pants feeling the hard ground underneath. Another snap of her fingers and his hands were suddenly behind his back, tied together by what felt like a hydro chain. He tried to break the bondage but it was no use.
The Maiden grabbed the hem of her white tights, pushing the fabric down to her legs. She reached her hand under her dress and touched herself between her legs, a soft moan spilling from her lips. Aether watched her in silence, the heat that he was trying so hard to ignore continued to build up deep in his core.
Maria then pushed aside her dress, revealing the treasure that was underneath. Aether gaped at the sight before him, eyes and mouth wide in horror, shock… and maybe even amazement.
The Mirror Maiden wielded a giant cock, about the length and girth of his forearm. It visibly throbbed, tip red and leaking with precum.
“What the…” he whispered breathlessly.
She smiled, stroking her enormous cock. “This is Her Majesty’s gift.”
He stared up at the giant monstrosity before him, feeling his insides shake with emotions he can’t decipher.
The Maiden knelt down in front of him in order to get at a suitable height, then grabbed Aether’s hair roughly, forcing his head back before shoving her leaking cock into his mouth. He yelped in surprise, the tip of her member hitting the back of his mouth, triggering his gag reflex. He gasped, his dry coughs were stifled around her length.
“I said I wanted to play with you didn’t I?” She sneered, hand tangled in his blond locks as she thrusted her cock in and out of his warm, wet mouth.
He couldn’t say anything in response, his mouth stretched wide with the Maiden’s aching penis. She continuously hit the back of his throat, gasps of air with every thrust coming from the male as his body shook in the bondage, wanting to break his arms free and push her away.
“Your mouth… Ah… It’s so hot,” the Maiden moaned, throwing her head back in pleasure. With her free hand, she reached down, caressing her balls to achieve her goal quicker. She continued her deep thrusts in Aether’s mouth until her hips twitched, a clear indication of what was to come.
Thick, warm white strings of cum bursted free into every crevice of his mouth. He involuntarily swallowed the salty thick liquid but it wasn’t enough, as more intruded his mouth, spilling out from the corner of his lips, dribbling down his chin and dripping onto the ground. He coughed violently, cum dripping down his tongue as he took in air.
The Maiden grabbed his face, leaning in to give the male a sloppy kiss, licking his face clean of the mixture of liquids—saliva and cum. Her hot tongue danced around with his, and she could taste the residue of her own fluids inside his mouth.
“You’re such a good boy, aren’t you? Taking me in so well.” She cooed, her lips moving to leave trails of wet kisses on his neck, leaving even more blue marks on his soft skin.
Aether bit his lip, trying his best not to moan at her praise and the feeling of her wet mouth on his skin. She grabbed his shirt roughly, then pulled, hard and fast, ripping the delicate fabric away from his body.
His eyes went wide as the sound of ripping filled the air. “No!” He cried at the destruction of the clothing that he held so dear. The precious clothing that was one of the only mementos from his home. But it was too late. The Maiden tossed the destroyed fabric to the ground. Aether felt something inside of him decay, an odd feeling that washed over him as if he was out at sea.
Maria smiled, marveling at the full sight of her shard marking on his body, his abs in perfect sight for her to see and his nipples, pink and erect. She leaned down, licking his right nipple while her hand flicked the left one.
Aether heaved, deep inhales and exhales as he tried to keep quiet.
“I want to hear you make more music for me,” she said before biting his nipple, then wrapping her hot tongue around it, earning a high pitched cry from the Traveler.
She giggled. “Yes, that’s what I like to hear.” She moved, giving him another sloppy kiss on the mouth, moaning into his mouth before backing away, a trail of saliva following their lips.
The Maiden then took off her dress. Her curvy breasts bounced around as she did so, her nipples already hard. At the sight, Aether nearly drooled, which didn’t go unnoticed by the Maiden.
She smirked, placing her hand in front of the male. “Take my gloves off,” she ordered.
Aether’s brain was a flurrying mess of sensations and emotions. Even though the sun was warm, the air bit at his bare skin, making him shudder. He wasn’t completely sure why, but he did as he was told, using his teeth to take off the Maiden’s gloves. Now, the only thing she was wearing was her headdress and blindfold.
Her hands were also beautiful. Curved and slender, beautifully sculpted with painted blue nails. He wanted to suck on them, have the digits in his mouth and wrap his tongue around them. A gurgled sound emanated from his throat as he mentally slapped himself at such a naughty thought.
Maria’s hands laid on her breasts, pushing them together before massaging them, one hand playing with her hardened nipple.
“Ah… feels so good…” Her eyes closed as she fondled her breasts. Watching her do so sent blood rushing to his dick. He wanted to be the one to touch her breasts like that, to grope and massage them. He thought that compared to her large, curvaceous figure, one of his hands probably wouldn’t even be able to grasp the entirety of one of her breasts. The thoughts about their size difference appalled him, again making his mind dizzy with sensations and emotions he can’t decipher, but he felt the space between his legs harden, his pants becoming tight.
“I-I want,” Aether’s voice suddenly spoke on its own. He wasn’t entirely sure what he wanted to say.
The Maiden let out a moan. “Tell me what you want, dear. You’ve been such a good boy, I'll fulfill your request.”
Aether felt his pants grow tighter at the pet name. “I want to… suck on your breasts. Please,” he exhaled. His hormones seemed to be acting on its own, raging inside of him and making his mind hazy with lust.
She chuckled. “Why of course.” She removed her hands from her chest and reached out to Aether, pulling his face towards her cleavage, smothering him in her luxuriously soft buxom.
Aether kissed the skin there, sucking and licking and leaving his own marks on the Maiden before moving to her nipple and sucking it, hard. The Maiden let out a pleasured whimper as the male continued sucking her sensitive nipples, switching between the left and right one.
“Ah, yes that’s it. You’re doing such a good job.”
Aether felt his penis throb at the praise, which only made him continue sucking harder, even grazing his teeth against, the Maiden moaning at the stimulation.
“A-ah, I’m coming!” The Maiden cried before once again hitting another orgasm, more strings of cum fell from her penis, some falling onto the ground, some trickled down her length, while some splattered onto Aether’s bare torso.
He felt proud of himself, that he was able to induce such an orgasm through stimulating her breasts alone.
“You’re so sensitive,” he breathed, lips licking stray saliva from his mouth.
Maria smiled. “You shouldn’t say such things,” she said, hand lightly touching his crotch, earning a moan from him. “I should respond in kind to your treatment.” She placed her hand on his shoulder and pushed him down to the ground. Without his hands to steady him, he fell onto his back. The Maiden hooked her fingers over his trousers before leaning down to kiss the skin above the hemline. Aether’s hips twitched at the proximity of being oh so near where he’s been throbbing this whole time.
Maria then pulled down his pants, along with whatever undergarments he may have been wearing. His cock, long and hard, finally sprung free from its enclosed space inside his pants, twitching as it hit the open air.
The traveler’s penis wasn’t as thick or long compared to the maiden’s, of course not, but compared to other men of similar stature, it was a delicious size nonetheless. The Maiden slid her hand, which was now cool and wet thanks to her hydro powers, down the entire length of his cock. He gasped at the cool sensation of his length finally being stimulated. The Maiden gave him a couple of pumps before opening her mouth, taking his entire cock into the hot confines of her wet hole. He shuddered at the intense sensation, hips bucking up in an effort to receive more. The Maiden didn’t hesitate to pick up her pace, head bobbing up and down, running her hot tongue flat against the muscle, hand playing with his balls for a fiercer sensation.
Aether’s body shivered, becoming shakier while he let out raspy pants and whimpers. He wasn’t going to last much longer.
The Maiden took his entire length until his tip hit the back of her mouth, causing him to moan as his orgasm washed over him, his cum filling her mouth. She swallowed what she was able to without hesitation, allowing the rest to ooze down his member. Aether hadn’t even finished coming down from his high before Maria began licking the remaining cum off of him. This sent more shock waves through his body, the feeling of being overstimulated sending convulsions through his body, tears glistening at the corner of his eyes.
She then lowered herself on top of him, lining her chest up to his length, and squeezing his oversensitive cock between her cleavage. The sight of her large, plump breasts holding onto his cock made him hard again; the warm feeling of her chest on his length made him throb once again. She then licked the slit of his penis and he shook in her hold, tears due to being overstimulated fell. She placed her hands on her breasts and began moving them up and down his length, her warm, juicy tits greatly overstimulating all of his senses. She kneaded her breasts while doing so, playing with her nipples and moaning into the open air. His mind became hazier as the sound of her moans filled his ears, his mind seemingly focused on its climax.
Having already orgasmed and from being vigorously overwhelmed by the Maiden’s hot touch, Aether’s second orgasm convulsed again through his body, a pitched moan releasing from his lips.
The Maiden lifted herself off of him, her chest covered in thick white cum, some of it sliding down the curve of her breast and trickling on the ground. She lifted Aether up by his hair, making him sit up on his knees. He was still panting from his recent high as she kissed him roughly, swallowing his pants and whimpers as her hand touched his cum covered cock, causing him to twitch.
“No, no more,” he gasped between wet kisses.
She didn’t say anything, but instead raised her fingers, coated in his cum, to his mouth, pushing past his lips and teeth. He took her fingers in, recoiling slightly at the taste of himself and swirled his tongue around her long digits. Once her fingers were licked cleaned, she shoved his face into her chest, which was also covered in his warm cum.
“Be a good boy and clean me up.”
Though he didn’t want to—the taste of himself was not the best—his head whirled with the sensations of his recent orgasms, mind desperately clouded with so much lust and pleasure, he obeyed dumbly. In even motions, he licked his cum off of her silken skin, the taste of it salty and thick on his tongue. The Maiden sighed in pleasure as his tongue swirled around her nipple, then to the underboob, making sure every inch of her skin was licked clean.
“Good boy,” she cooed in his ear as he continued licking and sucking the cum off, threading one hand in his hair, messing up his braid, while the other hand gently pet his cock. He moaned around her nipple, he was still sensitive from his last orgasms, the vibrations making the maiden hum in satisfaction. When he finished, he leaned back, sticking his tongue out and panting slightly.
“Good boy,” she repeated, one hand petting his hair while the other continued to stroke his member.
Aether then shook his head, body shaking from all of the stimulation. “Please. No more. It’s too much,” he panted, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead to his jawline.
Maria chuckled, nearly sinisterly, sticking her tongue out to catch the trailing sweat, then kissed down his jawline. She didn’t stop her hand movements on his cock, stroking up and down slowly, tracing the veins on the side here and there. He moaned at the touch.
“I’m not done playing.” Grabbing him harshly, she flipped him over so his stomach faced the ground, ass facing her. His hands were still bound behind his back and he struggled for a moment before stilling.
“W-what are you doing?” His voice shaky with fear as the Maiden pulled his boots off, then his pants, leaving him fully naked for the world to witness.
“Her majesty has bestowed upon me a hydro power that must be used carefully.” She placed her hands on his ass cheeks, spreading them apart to reveal his asshole.
“W-wait! S-stop that!”
She didn’t heed his words, continuing instead onto her ultimate goal. She began prodding his asshole, using her hydro abilities to thoroughly lubricate her fingers. Then she stuck one finger in.
Aether let out a cry, tears prickled at his eyes.
The Maiden began pumping her finger in and out of him at a steady pace, Then curled her finger inside of him. Whimpers fell from his lips at the unusual stimulation. He had never felt something like this before, though it felt foreign to him, he couldn’t deny to himself that it didn’t feel good.
The Maiden inserted another finger, roughly shoving it inside of him.
“Argh…!” he panted, squirming under her intense touch.
This didn’t slow down her pace, thrusting her fingers inside of him as swiftly as she could, occasionally curling her fingers.
“You like this, don’t you?” she said tauntingly.
He adamantly shook his head. “Ugh… no… this feeling…!”
The Maiden cackled, a high pitched sound that electrified the air. She continued her fast pace inside of him. He bit the inside of his cheek, lips pursed together tightly to ensure no noise escaped. For whatever odd reason, he felt the familiar knot in his belly unloosen. He desperately tried to hold it back, not wanting to give her that satisfaction of making him orgasm yet again.
But when the Maiden suddenly stopped pumping her fingers inside of him, he felt a strange loss, nearly voicing his annoyance at the interruption, though he was glad he caught himself.
Then, the Maiden gripped his hips so roughly he could feel bruises already forming, and forced him to lay on his knees, ass up in the air. She remained on her knees as well, her stature still towering over him despite kneeling. She held the base of her monster cock, the tip poking at the entrance of Aether’s asshole.
Aether’s eyes widened at the touch, his head craning back to look at her. “N-no…! You’re not going to put that massive thing inside me, are you?” he frantically yelled.
“Do not fear,” she said, “I will show you the full power of Her Majesty.”
“Don’t! There’s… there’s no way I can take all of that!”
The Maiden gave him a sharp slap to his asscheek, causing him to cry out from the pain. Whilst doing so, she began sliding her cock, still slick from cum from her previous orgasm, inside of him. He cried out as his asshole began stretching to accommodate the Maiden’s excessive girth.
“Ngh!” Aether’s eyes teared up once more, this time a steady flow of tears streaked down his handsome features.
The Maiden gradually eased her member inside of him, and once she was finally deep inside of him, her balls hitting his pelvis, she paused for a moment.
Then, in a sudden, rough movement, she gripped his hips and pulled almost all the way out, then slammed back inside. Aether let out another pained cry, the sensation too intense and deep for him.
“Be a good boy…” she said as she began a relentless pace, thrusting into his throbbing asshole and out again, so fast and deep, the sound of her balls smacking his skin could be heard.
“No…” Though his words did betray what he was truly feeling. He was relishing in the feeling of her giant cock inside of his tight asshole, the feeling of being full and warm sent heat rushing to his own core.
The Maiden slapped his asscheek sharply as her cock sheathed in and out of him, a cry of pain or pleasure, he wasn’t even sure anymore, fell from his lips.
“You’re so tight and warm,” she moaned, smacking his ass again. She then grabbed his braid, pulling his head back so she could take a good look at his face. “Let me hear your music of pleasure.”
He shook his head and the Maiden chuckled.
She pulled his hair again and he whimpered. “You like this don’t you?” she asked as she continued to ram her cock inside of him.
Though he shook his head, his mind was melting with every hard thrust and ass slap.
“Nothing escapes my ears.” One hand slapped his ass again, a red palm mark branding his asscheek. “I know you like this. I know you’re holding in your sweet sounds.” A sharp thrust and a twist of her hips, hitting his g-spot so perfectly, a loud moan escaped, his face twisting in pure pleasure.
The Maiden laughed, joyous and triumphant. “That’s it, let me hear the music you can make.”
She grabbed his bound wrists with her hand and every time she would buck forward into him, she would also pull him back towards her. This method made his mind foggy with increased pleasure, no longer monitoring the sounds that left him. The way the Maiden’s thick cock brushed the inside of his walls had him mewling with intense pleasure. Alongside the occasional slap on the ass or pull of his hair, his mind was completely filled with lustful thoughts of her cock inside of him, only concerned with reaching his climax.
His tight warm walls made her moan, as she was quickly approaching her own orgasm. He felt her hips falter, shuddering with a sloppy pace.
“Ngh… I’m coming,” she panted.
Aether’s eyes snapped open, his head craning to look at the maiden. “N-no, don’t cum inside of me! My body can’t-“ he was cut off with the sensation of warm fluid entering his hole. “Ah, fuck,” he whimpered at the foreign sensation of her cum inside his asshole. Portions of it sliding down his ass and legs, making his skin sticky.
Despite the Maiden’s orgasm, she pounded back into him with no hesitation, and the sound of cum on skin could be heard. Her thick cum covered her entire shaft and balls and every thrust brought the warm fluid back inside Aether’s asshole, the sound of it filling his ears.
She grabbed his braid and pulled him flush to her chest, changing their position so he was now sitting on her lap, his back pressed against her pillowy breasts. She continued her relentless tempo, fucking her hips into his asshole and then she reached her hand to his front, grasping his cock in her hand.
Aether was a moaning mess, his mind could only register the fierce stimulation the Maiden was giving him by pounding inside the ass and now pumping her hand on his cock. Tears streamed down his beautiful face as the double stimulation became too much to bear.
“Be a good boy and cum for me,” she whispered in his ear, biting his earlobe and then moving down to leave more marks on his neck and collarbone.
He obeyed, body violently spasming as his orgasm washed over him, intense and fervid due to the double stimulation she was giving him. His cum spilled on her hands and she stilled her hip movements, though her hand continued to stroke him through his orgasm. He continued shaking, a moaning and crying mess, until the Maiden pulled her hand away from his sensitive cock and wrapped her cum coated fingers around his neck.
“Good boy.”
Then, in one rapid movement, she pushed him to the ground and flipped him over on his back, her cock still connected to his insides.
Dried tears streaked his red cheeks, mouth open as hot breathes were exhaled, his tongue wet and heavy outside of his mouth. He didn’t have the energy to speak, much less comprehend the change in position.
She lifted the blindfold from her eyes. Aether’s half lidded eyes snapped to her crystal blue eyes, a mesmerizing stare that captivated him.
“You will be one of us.” She began pumping her cock inside of him once more. Her eyes never left his as her hand violently grabbed his cock, stroking it.
Aether, still looking into the Maiden’s hypnotizing eyes, could only nod his head dumbly, his own golden eyes glossing over. “Yes, as you desire,” he replied, his voice flat. He felt something in him completely decay. His body felt as if it was being carried by an endless tide in the deep ocean. The blue markings on his torso pulsed.
The Maiden smiled as yet another orgasm began building up, ready to be released.
Aether’s bare body now belonged to not just the Fatui Mirror Maiden inside of him, but to their Majesty, the Tsaritsa, as well.
The Narukami shrine maidens stared down from the top of the mountain in horror.
