Japanese Kirin Novels & Stories

We stopped in front of the building's doors which had a large man guarding it. A huge sign hang above the doors written "Golden Silver" in gold and "men only" was written at the bottom in small, silver italics. "No cutting in line," the bouncer said as he folded his arms. Higan gave the intimidating man a black card and he took it. After reading through, he handed the card back to Higan and stepped aside.

Kirin Kirin or Qilin is a half dragon half horse mahluh, originally from Chinese mythology but spread throughout East Asia. The real animal that is considered 'close to' the kirin is the giraffe (confused right? >.<), it is said that the giraffe was once considered a Kirin. In Chinese mythology, the kirin is a sacred animal that has good qualities, but the kirin can be a savage and terrible animal when threatened. It is said that kirin only appears in places ruled by good and wise rulers. 30. Tengu
