[X] Head to the Human Village.

---

After thanking Rinnosuke, Grimnír heads for the Human Village. The forest starts to thin as he follows the path. The trees and bushes around the area begin to look more ordinary and harmless.

Grimnír pulls out the bracelet he received from Rinnosuke. He notices that there are tiny symbols engraved around the serpent figure, but he can't read the language. Perhaps he can only understand languages that are currently being used in Gensokyo.

He wears the bracelet on his wrist and begins chanting a few words, but nothing happens. He sighs as he continues walking. Learning magic is a lot harder than he first thought.

Suddenly, Grimnír sees something rustling in the bushes. He pauses, holding tightly to the staff in case it is some wild animal. However, he calms down when he sees the creature fly into sight.

If not for it's size, it looks no different from a young girl wearing a colorful dress. About a foot high, it flutters around with its semi-transparent wings. It is wearing a hairband in its hair, and it has a carefree expression on its face.

"And what might you be?" Grimnír asks as he approaches closer.

The creature looks at him in surprise, then darts back into the thicket. Grimnír sighs.

"Must have scared it," he mutters.

However, the creature returns just a few moments later. Accompanying it are five or six similar looking beings. Looks like it called its friends. They flutter around the area, darting back and forth toward Grimnír. Are they curious as well. Grimnír watches this odd dance as they form a circle around him.

If it weren't for their innocent expressions and their graceful movements, he would think they were trying to surround him. "They wouldn't attack," he thinks. But as if to prove him wrong, the creatures stop fluttering randomly. A small globe of light begins to form in each of their hands.

Before he can say anything, globes float toward him from every direction. He manages to dodge them, but his cloal gets singed in the barrage. He looks up to see the creatures preparing to fire again.

This looks bad. They don't look like they can be reasoned with.
