In life, Aki Azihara was the head of the Black Lotus family, a clan of kitsune renowned for their swordsmanship and musical talent.
There were only two things in Gensokyo that mattered to him: guiding his kin on the path of the warrior and his duty towards protecting humanity against youkai.
Life was peaceful until a group of Taoist refugees fleeing Buddhist persecution sought shelter in Black Lotus territory.
Aki agreed to allow the refugees to stay until he could find a proper shelter for them.
During the night the band of Buddhist monks that were pursuing the refugees demanded that they be turned over to them.
Aki refused, arguing that his guests were under his protection and any against them would be an act against the Black Lotus.
The monks debated for an entire day on how to proceed. Wiser heads counseled that starting a war with an innocent party would compromise their faith and could result in severe consequences. The warlike monks rejuvenated with fervor argued that anyone that sheltered Taoists was their ally and should be put to the sword.
The cry for war drowned out the voice of peace, thus the decision was made.
At dawn the battle ensued. The Black Lotus and the Buddhists fought relentlessly, blades clashing and magic blazing across the forest.
Aki coordinated the defense, aiding his kin to the best of his ability while protecting the Taoists hiding in the family shrine.
The monks tore through the defenses like a tiger intent on claiming its prize.
No one would was spared in the rampage that decimated the family estate. The Black Lotus fell like aging trees cut down by lumberjacks.
Aki was the last to fall, the deaths of his kin weighing heavily on his heart.
He would soon return as a vengeful spirit, haunting the forest where his kin were slain and protecting the shrine against any who would defile it.
Recently, folks would start disappearing on the Youkai Trail between the Human Village and the Forest of Magic.
Perhaps this is an indication of an incident?
