The Mokuren Oni

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: The Magnolia Oni, Mokuren, was visited by the Hell Butterfly. Time stood still and the world fell away into a strange white haze. "Am I dead?" he wondered. The sympathetic Hell Butterfly smiled sadly. "Damn. It's not right, what the humans are doing. This is sacred Oni land. The humans shouldn't be here. An Oni like me is not too strong, but I can push back. What can a tree do? Hope it's thick centuries-old trunk can break their chainsaws?" He laughed bitterly. As he lay dying, the Magnolia Oni began to reminisce about his life. The Hell Butterfly was in no hurry, she delighted in hearing his tales. As the time passed she grew to love him. Before she thought it through, she handed him her scythe. "I refuse to take you to the other side. This weapon is yours now. It's deadly to all living creatures, including humans. Use it wisely and you can protect the silent ones who can’t fight for themselves."

The 2nd second round of The Gathering has lots of lovely original mesh gachas in the fantasy themes such as Scifi, Asian, Halloween, Gor, and Medeival. It ends soon, so don't miss it.  Shown above from the Gathering is the cool Scythe by Cila, the Elf ears by CerberusXing, the AXIX Wuking mask, the Dystopia Wings by E.V.E, and the excellent Moments of Contemplation teahouse set by 22769 ~ [bauwerk]. The Magnolia tree and horns are by AIR. The Kimono is by Silvery K. Hair Jeal is by Ayashi and comes in rigged and non-rigged. Eyes are by S0ng on sale at Nightmares. And eye makeup is by Lovely Disarray. The Achelous horns by Souzou Eien include headdess jewerly, but for my image I went for a more simple horn style. The horns are mod, so you can change them how you like. For Slink Male body users, you can pick up an applier to match your favorite skins. The appliers will automatically apply to the hands and feet too. Nice! .....Stay tuned because my Blogger Bat buddy Aarya Phamtomhive will be bringing you the 2nd part of this story as the Hell Butterfly.
