Magic. Some say that it has it's benefits to help with life... While many others said the opposite. They cause great destruction, calamity, and darkness.
Gensokyo has tolerated magicians for generations, until an experimentation ruined their reputat...
I managed to sneak out of Suzunaan, and I see nobody on the streets tonight. But what caught my attention the most is the moon, it's as red as blood.
Well, that's my cue to get out of the village as soon as I can. I readied my broom, and just when I was about to fly...
I heard growling coming from behind me. I turned around to see an oversized wolf, with some human body parts. A Werewolf? I thought we only have Kagerou, but even as a Werewolf she isn't this hairy.
It's fangs dripped sticky drool, it's eyes glaring at me with the sharpness of a dagger. There are signs of blood in it's tongue... It has devoured something recently.
The creature howled, and afterwards I heard more howling coming from my surroundings.
"Gotta go!"
I took off as fast as I can, keeping my distance from those creatures. However, the walls of the village are still a little bit far. What's worse is that those creatures are chasing me on the rooftops.
"They can climb too?"
One of them then pounced over to me, but I raised my altitude a bit higher, causing it to miss, and collided with another one who is trying to pounce. I can see the walls in front of me by now, and I flew over it, and made my way to the Misty Lake.
It felt like an hour, but I managed to reach the shores of the lake. The horizon is covered with the red cloud, obscuring both the Youkai Mountain and the towering Scarlet Devil Mansion.
I flew over the lake in search of the fairy, but she isn't anywhere to be found, until I see someone on the lake shore that is near the Youkai Forest.
A female figure with red hair, tied into pigtails, carving a body out using a huge scythe.
"Creatures all over the land. Soon you'll be one... Haaahhh..."

It's Komachi Onozuka, the shinigami.
She is drooling, and her eyes glowed red at my presence. She turned around to face me.
I readied both my broom and the mini-hakkero, as she then approaches me, bloodlust apparent in her eyes.
She then dashed at me, and heavily swung her scythe, which I dodged by ducking down, and I swept her legs causing her to fall down to the ground, before I blasted her over and over with the danmaku blasted from my mini-hakkero.
After several dozens of danmaku hit her, I stopped. Her body is now charred. But she still moves, and later stood back up.
"Not... Enough!"
She then shot a few danmaku which I shielded using a magic barrier, before shooting lasers back at her. One hit her in the face while the others she managed to swipe off. Afterwards I dashed towards her and hit her in the forehead with the end of the broom, as hard as I could.
But then, to my shock, Her skin then cracks open, as a hand crawled out of it. Her body is becoming like a cocoon, and something is coming out. Her whole body then collapsed as the creature bursted out of it.
The new Komachi, which crawled out from it's old shell, is now a few feet taller than me, still holding her scythe. Her slimy body is naked but shows no anatomy. Her face is skeletal.
She roared as she then swings the scythe wildly.
"I need... Your blood!"
She shouted as she then slashed one more time, which grazed my skin, but then I fired...
"Master Spark!"
And I blasted her away, leaving nothing behind but ashes in the projectile's path.
I covered the grazed wound which is now bleeding, with Alice's handkerchief before I flew off in search of the Greater Fairy.
