The Maiden

The Maiden is a mysterious tale surrounding the town. Legend says the gods sent her to watch the town as a figure of mist and smoke. some have seen they've seen her, but nobody ever has proof. Old pictures of the shrine show art of a maiden with a swirl of ink and a cloud of smoke drawing things into existence and watching a wolf pounce on a snake.

The legend is as follows: " Long ago, two gods fell to earth. they were banished from the celestial court for causing trouble, and angry, they fought. The evil one was defeated by the good, and sealed away. Seeing this, the gods allowed the good one back into the court partially, under the condition an avatar of his remained to watch the seal. To make sure his avatar on earth remained, a maiden was sent down to keep the peace. Some say she still watches for those who would weaken the seal, and quietly disappears them."
