Stone Basin Reflection
Touch the moon caught in the water. The quest turns over like a wet prayer slip.
A vermilion cord has come loose in the abandoned festival rain. Follow it past the gate before the lanterns remember your name.
Touch the moon caught in the water. The quest turns over like a wet prayer slip.
The plaques turn without wind. Someone wished for the path to find you first.
Silk crosses the courtyard in slow ceremony. Step between the ribbons when the foxfire blinks.
Blue flames count the stones. The paw prints appear only after you choose not to hurry.
Each talisman peels upward with a dry whisper. Beneath the last seal waits the summit cord.
The cord ties itself into the dot of miko.quest. A pale gold note travels down the hill; somewhere, a fox almost laughs.
