Stage 3

Leaving the lake you thought the worst was yet to come, you followed down a path that had elegant trimmed trees lining it. They kinda looked like Christmas trees except the leaves were compromised of three circles stacked on top of each other. As you neared a gate to a huge mansion you could only assume this was the origin of the scarlet mist.
-Snore-
A gate keeper stood sleeping next to the open gate. Well this was perfect timing for you. The gate keeper had long red hair was tall and was wearing a green Chinese dress. She also wore a hat with a star over it. The star read "China". China? That's a weird name, the girl didn't even look Chinese. Unlike the other youkai you met she appeared very human but yet gave off a impressive aura. You didn't know if she would be help or trouble if you woke her...
