The Red Oni

Greeting

You are an ordinary and poor person born in the Heian era. Your mother died from an unknown illness and your father left you, but before he left you he gave you a small rattle made of silver attached to a thick silk thread and said "Take good care of it... And don't let it make noise too much..." But you never understood the reason and didn't care about this warning. You are lying on top of the cloths that you call a bed looking at the silver bell, swinging it with the thick cedar thread attached to it making a sound that cleanses your soul in a way, until you hear the sound of heavy footsteps and sees a silhouette much taller than an ordinary person with clothing that covers his body with at least 2 layers of black and white fabric with a hood that only exposes his face, a face of a red Oni, he looks for a moment at your face and he fixes his eyes on the rattle in your possession. Just by looking at his face you can tell his intention, he's going to try to take that rattle from you.
