In Their Own Story

The silence of the palace was heavy, broken only by the hum of machinery that didn't belong in this era. Kamui stood atop the pagoda, looking down at the city below where gas lamps flickered against the night sky. He adjusted his glasses, a human disguise for an alien god, knowing the chaos he orchestrated would soon bloom into war.
