The Temple of Rain

On a rainy night, a scholar shelters in an abandoned temple and meets a woman who offers wine, a dry robe, and a place by the fire. She is not a hostess but a lure: every man who enters feeds the creature called Grandmother, and she has only a few nights to deliver her quota of living essence. The scholar is the first man who treats her with kindness instead of hunger. / As the rain falls, the temple's true master notices, and a demon hunter arrives with a sword and a warning. The woman must choose between the cage that keeps her alive and the man offering a way out.
