Lily stopped dead and turned to the Guild member, shaking slightly. But when he asked her to speak with her she nodded. She remembered that Lady Shade told her not to lie or to worry. And when Lady Shade said that, Lily knew everything would be alright. She walked up to the man and said "My name is lily, sir...and I know why your here. There is a monster in the shrine...a terrible creature...Every two days we find someone else dead...its getting worse..." She hugged herself and took a few deep breaths. "But everything will be alright now...right?" Just then a older man came to the opening of the shrine and said "Lily? Where have you been? Its time for the ceremony..." Lily looked at the man and tilted her head. "But...its too early for the mid day..." Then she went white and moved back, staring at the High Priest. 

Megumi landed inside the Shrine grounds, her cloak hiding her face from view. She just had to follow the scent and then she would handle this monster. Lily was right to be scared, this demon was smart. And if her nose was right, this demon was a high demon, meaning it had more tricks up its sleeves then a normal demon would. She headed inside, sniffing and using the shadows to hide from the other people in the shrine.
