Story Redo

Yin and Kami have been walking and trying to make their way through a forest and to an inn for hours. Yin follows as Kami tries to figure out their location on a map. Yin looks at Kami from behind knowing that she was lost and could not read the map. They suddenly stop and notice that they have reached a fork in the road. Yin glances over at Kami, and Kami is still concentrated on the map, turning it in every direction hoping that it will make sense looking at it in another angle. Yin becomes annoyed, takes the map from Kami's hand, and throws in on the ground. She starts walking confidently towards the path on the left and Kami follows behind her, disappointed in herself. As they leave, a bird pecks on the piece of wood that he is standing on and makes the moss on it fall off to reveal a sign. The sign's right arrow points towards the inn, while the one on the left points towards the "Valley of the Fallen". Yin and Kami make their way through this path for a few minutes and Kami starts to notice the forest getting darker and gloomier as they advance. Kami looks around and starts falling behind. She hears a sound behind her and runs to catch up to Yin. Kami runs into Yin, who has stopped walking and has taken a fighting stance, ready to take out her katana. The branches on the ground surrounding start moving to reveal rusty old swords and rapiers in the earth. Kami and Yin notice that the branches are starting to form limbs, and become ghostly figures of samurai and warriors. Yin starts to unsheathe her katana and Kami hides behind her as more ghostly figures gather up around them, blocking the path behind them and preventing their escape. The ghosts start fighting Yin, and Yin fights back doing her best to protect Kami. Kami stays close behind her. Yin starts to walk back, hoping to find a chance to retreat, but instead she trips. The ghosts start to close in on Yin, when the ghost's attention is drawn by rocks that Kami is throwing from behind. Although the rocks don't do much, they manage to distract the ghosts and give Yin an opportunity to run. Yin and Kami start running in the opposite direction away from the path they were on and farther into the woods. Yin notices that Kami starts falling behind and picks her up. More ghosts start appearing and Yin does her best to fend them off. She finally sees a light in the distance and runs faster towards it. As the ghosts get nearer and nearer, Yin runs faster and finally jumps towards the light. She falls out of the darkness of the forest and the ghosts desintegrate behind her. Both Kami and Yin sigh in relief and Kami stands up in excitement after seeing the inn at a distance. Yin smiles and stands up. She returns her weapon to its sheathe and walks behind Kami, who is now running towards the inn.
