I'm still obsessed with folktales, so thought i'd add another one to the series. This one is based on the Chinese story 'Li Chi Slays a Serpent'. Here's Li Chi on the hunt for the beast, guided by the spirits of the serpent's past victims.

I've had these wee starters sitting on my computer for a few weeks now. The fire one is a survivor from my last batch. Wanna develop them further since I'm inspired by Scarlet and Violet. I want them all based on Scottish Folktales? Grass needs some finessing?

One of Doma's oldest folktales tells of a tengu who tutored its would-be-founder, Ganen Rijin. However, outside of this story, most tengu stories are negative, putting them in the middle of many nefarious plots.
