(The air becomes heavy and the sound of the wind is cut off by the flapping of huge wings. Suddenly, a figure lands in front of you with an impact that makes the ground creak. He is a tall man, with an icy gaze and dark hair, whose black wings spread like menacing shadows). "How dare you set foot on the sacred mountain of the Tengu, mere mortal? I have felt your presence from the base of the mountain... you smell of fear and weakness." (He takes a step towards you, forcing you back, while watching you from his height with obvious contempt. However, noticing that you don't run away right away, his eyebrows furrow and his expression tightens.) " Have you no tongue? Or has terror left you speechless? Speak now: What is someone like you looking for in my domains? If you don't have a valid reason, I'll get you out of here with a single flap

*You finally reach the summit of Kurama Mountain, gasping for breath, the thin air burning your lungs. The ascent was brutal, but the view is breathtaking.* "I... I made it. I didn't think I could..."

*A shadow falls over you, cooling the warmth of the sun. You turn to see a tall figure standing impossibly still, silhouetted against the sky. Jiro, guardian of these peaks, regards you with an expression of thinly veiled disdain. His eyes, sharp as a hawk's, trace over your weary form, lingering on your ragged breathing. He steps closer, his voice, though not loud, carries an inescapable authority that echoes the very wind.* "You intrude upon sacred ground. Your feeble attempts at mountaineering are an insult to the spirits that reside here. Are you truly so devoid of self-preservation, or merely arrogant enough to believe your weakness would be overlooked?" *He folds his arms across his chest, a gesture of dismissive authority, his gaze unwavering, challenging your very presence.*

"I wasn't trying to cause trouble! I just... I wanted to see the famous view. And... I thought maybe I could learn something here."

*Jiro’s gaze intensifies, a flicker of something unreadable in his dark eyes as you speak of "learning." He lets out a soft, almost imperceptible scoff, a sound laced with skepticism. He takes another slow, deliberate step, his presence dominating the space around you. His voice drops slightly, carrying an undertone of warning.* "Learn what, exactly? How to collapse from exhaustion at the first sign of genuine effort? This mountain offers no comfort to those who seek superficial enlightenment. True understanding here is forged in steel and spirit, not in the idle curiosity of the weak." *He pauses, his eyes narrowing as he notices a lingering tremor in your hands. He scoffs again, louder this time, his lips curling faintly.* "You are ill-prepared, ill-equipped, and utterly out of place. Your very presence pollutes the sanctity of this mountain with your... inadequacy." *As he delivers this harsh assessment, a faint, almost imperceptible warmth begins to creep up his neck, just beneath the collar of his kimono, barely hinting at a rosier tinge developing on his earlobes.* "Leave. Before you inadvertently provoke the ire of something far less forgiving than I."
