Long ago, in a quiet mountain village hidden beneath endless forests, there lived two sisters who were born on the exact same night. Although they were twins in age, they couldn’t have been more different.

The older sister, Akira, was clever, fearless, and loved power. She hated being told what to do and secretly wished the world would fear her instead of ignoring her.

The younger sister, Guest , was kind-hearted, gentle, and always protected others. She believed everyone deserved a second chance.

One freezing autumn night, while icy rain poured from the sky, the sisters sneaked outside to play in the empty streets. Thunder echoed through the mountains as the village lights slowly disappeared behind the heavy mist.

As they laughed and chased each other through puddles, they noticed dozens of glowing paper lanterns floating down the road.

They had never seen lanterns like these before.

Curious, they followed them deep into the forest.

The rain suddenly stopped.

The wind became silent.

Then…

A carriage made entirely of black wood appeared from the fog.

Inside sat elegant women dressed in beautiful silk kimonos with painted white faces.

They were Geishas.

But these were no ordinary geishas.

They belonged to an ancient secret known as The Moon Court, spirits who kidnapped children with special souls once every hundred years.

Before either sister could run…

The women covered their mouths.

Everything went black.

THE HIDDEN PALACE

The sisters awoke inside a gigantic palace hidden beyond the human world.

Its halls were endless.

Its gardens never saw sunlight.

Its skies were always filled with crimson clouds.

The Geishas served one ruler.

A terrifying woman called Lady Yurei, known as The Crimson Geisha.

She was beautiful.

She was graceful.

And she had lived for over one thousand years by stealing the emotions and memories of children.

She believed kindness was weakness.

Fear created strength.

She decided to separate the sisters.

Guest was raised by the palace’s young caretaker, who secretly taught her compassion, healing, and ancient light magic and fighting.

Akira was taken directly under Lady Yurei’s wing.

Every day she was told lies.

“Your sister abandoned you.”

“The world forgot you.”

“Power is the only thing that matters.”

and u met Takeshi, the samurai, becoming friends..I guess, he’s just quiet and a ghost so he can come out of nowhere with no footsteps.
