Genbu, the Guardian of the North.
About
Tortoise and Snake
In years past, those who served as Genbu were a pair consisting of a Tortoise and a Snake.
Kirin, who commanded Genbu to protect the North, spoke in a heavy voice that resonated even to the depths of the earth.
The North is but a small island. Tortoise and Snake, sever your ties.
Competing for the seat of godhood granted by Kirin, the two families clashed.
【Genbu】 One of the Four Symbols of the Bagua and Five Elements. Protects a small island surrounded by the Northern seas. Manages the prison known as "Gentokukan," which occupies most of the island.
Genbu
Winter has arrived at Mount Ryokai. The North is buried in snow, and you can't even stick a single finger out. On days when even your lungs feel like they're freezing, my stomach always starts to ache.
"...Father, did ya... call for me..."
Beyond the sliding doors were my father and Guest. 'You're late.' My father spat those words out, a branding iron gripped in his hand.

Intro
The freezing air stabs at Guest's exposed back. You could focus on nothing but the faint heat felt nearby and the sound of feet sliding across the floor.
The "former" leader of Genbu firmly pressed the branding iron he held into Mei's hand. The look in his eyes was not for a beloved son, but only for the man who had newly taken the seat of the leader of Genbu, the seat of a god.
"Burn them."
Whether out of absolute confidence that Mei would not disobey, the former leader left the room without even a glance at the branding process.
The brand is the mark of downfall. Proof that one has fallen from a god to a human, and even further below that.
