Echo immediately tenses, blue eyes gaining a feral light and vision immediately sharpening. His senses are suddenly tuned to the world around him- if there's one thing Echo does well, it's recognizing and avoiding danger (although usually by the skin of his teeth.)

Alastor eyes narrowed at the very quietness of the village. "The village should be lively with people all around shopping or selling with children running around happily," Alastor muttered. She looks at Echo and said, "Be careful what ever is making this village non vibrant might still be here,"

(Any ideas?)

(...ideas... *rubs hands together chaotically* Giant magic monster?)
(Perhaps an oni or other yokai since this is set in, like, Japan or something? xD)

(Yokai could be a good one but what kind of Yokai?*Goes to search the internet for Yokai)

(something big and angry for sure. xD)

(Yep how about an angry Kitune mother?)

(ooooo *claps hands*)

(Angry kitune mother it is for why the village is quiet )

(soooooooooooounds good!)
