Assassin Namame
~~~~~~~

Location : Temple of Hanun River


With... : Celestial Warrior Gensho


Priestess Koi Miazaki

~~~~~~~​

Namame was abruptly pulled away from his state of shock…but could it really be called that? He was not so sure of it himself. Simply consumed by the sight before his own eyes…or maybe by the fact that this woman was now his and Gensho to give their life for? No, no, that could not be it. That was unthinkable, ridiculous. To show weakness was something he could have never afford to do. Never. But there he was, standing still, his eyes fixed on the bizarre-looking girl in panic. It was...almost pitiful to look at her. But at the same time, it was a sight that he could not avert his eyes from. Such was his fate from now on. To protect this female of unknown origins, to devote his life to her. That much was clear to him. The Gods sure worked in strange ways... But before he could approach her or even so much as making any movement...

His eyes blinked as his body jolted ever so slightly, breaking apart his cold façade for brief seconds. He had seen him, he had heard him, he had felt him leave his side. But the moment Gensho send the young woman into a deep sleep, Namame's body reacted on its own impulses. He approached the two of them. He didn't what he was doing, what were his intentions. But it was not something good, not good at all. Danger? No, he could not sense it. Nothing made sense, it was all nothing but a blur to him. Only when the voice he knew well reached his ears that he gained full control over himself again. It all happened in a rush. All was mechanical once again. No out of impulse, not out of his....emotions?....And then, there they were, in an unfamiliar place, no trace of a soul, only the sound of Nature.

Namame felt his shoulders flop ever so slightly down, his chest relaxing at long last. Had he been holding it in for all this time?...His eyes wandered through his surroundings. His feet lead him forward, the temple's sight now growing closer and closer. Even though he was no entity of abundant knowledge, he could feel it within himself. A great power protected this place. Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath, any last remains of wariness leaving his body. They were safe, no danger, no threats. That was what he thought. But such foolish thoughts are not to be taken. Such was evidenced as the voice of a very, very distressed Priestess disturbed the peace. Namame slowly turned to find himself staring at the pair with an expression devoid of any distinct emotions. He kept his distance, however, showing a certain reluctance in even approaching the two... But why...?

Group: Gensho, Namame, Koi


​

Gensho was surprised when the Priestess had awoken after being transported to their current location. He did not find her demeanor or attitude surprising considering her extraordinary situation, however it did not stop him from thinking how ungraceful it seemed, not to mention quite illogical. If he were in her position threatening the person who captured her would be far from what he would do much less slap the person. It would be in their best interest that he not lose his demeanor and patience because of her presumptuous actions. " Calm down." he said firmly, using little effort to pull apart her grip from him. He let her go with a small push away and put a little distance between them. The young man sighed with a displeasing countenance as if to say he expected more from the Priestess meant to bring Salvation to the people.


He looked at Namame who stared at them with the same neutral expression. Gensho was certain he would be of no aid in this instance, for talking was not his specialty. Perhaps the choice of location was not correct. The young Monk chose a temple because it had a significance as a place holy, clean and free from malice. He had hoped this would offer some relief to the young girl. " This one is named Gensho, this is my comrade Namame. " he said in answer to her question. " No harm will come upon you...you have my apologizes for taking you here without warning, but it was important to move out of the city. Are you aware of where you are? Or what has happened to you?" he asked the girl. Explaining what happened to her will help her to calm down is what Gensho believed. The young monk then laid his staff down and sat on the thick floor rug. He motioned for Namame to do the same. He hoped this would further ease her mind as a person who is seated cannot do much in terms of harming a person who is standing.

Jun looked watched the guy and the old man in the cart. When gave the ok she smiled. "Awesome." She next to the girl and noticed her rambling about something. Oh right the clothes apparently it was dress. The girl then introduced herself as Mei-Lin. Jun leaned back and relaxed herself. Her mannerisms at that moment seemed tomboyish. "It's Jun just Jun." Sometimes people try to ask for a last name. She never really did think of one so she just tell them plain and simple just Jun. She glanced over at Mei and noticed her franticly trying to cover head. Jun raised and eyebrow and said, "Hey are you alri-" She stopped when she suddenly felt her back burning. "The hell??" She mumbled to herself as she toughed her back swearing quietly to herself. She then took a quick glance at the girl. "I wonder......." She then decide to just forget about it she already had enough trouble as it is. She didn't need any strange things happening. She then looked ahead trying to ignore the throbbing on her back.

Pastless Wanderer Ashitare

Location: Near Shunrou Capital City


Mood: Warm


What am I Doing? Conversing with Mei and being surprised by Jun.

​

Ashitare could feel the heat growing across his face, form her complement. He was not used to such complements, having not heard one ever since Rima stop coming by. He gave a polite bow to the girl to show her his gratitude. "Thank you miss Mei." He watched as the two women conversed between each other, standing behind them. He didn't mind walking, besides for him to not give his seat away would be rude. Both women seemed to have worked hard and all he had done was step out of his home for the first time. Or was it? I wish I could remember. What happened to me? How did I loose so much of my memory? He shook his head trying to get the question out of his head. He knew that if he just sat and wondered, all it would do was leave him with a headache.


Trying to avoid is introspection he tuned into the girls conversation. So this odd attire she in is a variation of a dress. He then turned to the girl who's name was Jun, how interesting, she also has no surname. He thought that maybe this was common, come to think of it Rima didn't have a surname either. He snapped out from his train of thought when a strange symbol appeared on Mei's head. Going over to see what happened, he felt a strong pain over his heart. He winced in pain as his character burned on his chest.


Swallowing the pain, he stood back up and looked at the two women. "Are you two alright?" Seeing as the pain subsided from Jun he turned his attention to Mei. He leaned into her face and looked at the symbol. Raising his hand he hesitated for a moment, "pardon me miss Mei." He gently moved some of her hair around to get a better look at it. "Odd, it must be some kind of magical marking. You shouldn't worry about it." He gave her a kind smile, before standing up and taking a step back. He looked over to Jun, "are you alright miss Jun?"


(Sorrry for the late post, Friday the 13th is a big day with my friends and family. We watched wayyyyy too many scary movies.)

MEI-LIN SUNG​

Mei-Lin looked to Jun in concern, seeing that she too was in pain as she was, and then Ashitare had that look about him as well. What the Heck was going on here, and why?! Was Mei herself the cause of all this, because of she was, she wanted no part in making others suffer. She looked up into Ashitare's eyes and felt her cheeks darken again, scolding herself inwardly for that weird feeling every time she looked into those eyes. Now was not the time to admire this guy, however handsome he was! But when he felt his hand move her bangs out of the way to take a look at whatever was on her forehead, her heart stopped. She felt her breath hitch, then gave Ashitare an odd look, "Magical marking? You mean...gah?!" She rubbed at her forehead again, hissing as it burned her a little, "There's something on my forehead?!"

Ah, if only she had her mirror on her! Then she would have seen what exactly Ashitare was talking about. She then looked at both Jun and Ashitare, "But...you both looked like you were in pain just now. Are you both alright?" She looked back and forth between them, biting her lower lip in worry. She then gave Jun an awkward smile, "By the way, you have a really pretty name, Jun! You can call me Mei!" She smiled a little, trying to make light of this weird scenario, then sighed, "I'm sorry all this strange stuff is happening, is there maybe someone that can help all three of us in the capitol?" She asked Ashitare. Goodness, she hoped so, if only to get whatever weird marking was on her forehead off-she couldn't be on stage with that thing glowing all night! Then again, a thought occurred to her: would she be able to go home? And where the heck was poor Koi-chan?!

 

[animegirl20]

Jun didn't respond when Ashitare first asked if they were alright. She was trying to ignore it. Then finally it stopped she sighed in relief then she looked over at her when she heard her say Magical Marking. " A marking huh?" She wondered if any mark had appeared on her back. She looked at Ashitare and answered him. "Yeah mines was on my back." She was trying to figure just what the heck was going on. She smiled at Mei then said, "And I wouldn't worry about it to much...who knows maybe this means I have powers that can help kick but better then before." Yeah right she wished. Then something hit her. "Wait a min did you say the capital?!" How did she not realize where the heck she was heading. She was trying to het away from the capital. Then again maybe would recognize her. She did cut her hair and she has been gone for while. Plus this would be a good time to check out everything to see what's going on. Plus she felt like if she justran away now it would make her feel like a coward. So instead she decided she would go but make sure to keep identity hidden.

Imperial Librarian Kailai Wen (Tomo)

Location: Shunrou Capital City Gates, Kutou Empire.
​

What am I Doing? Going to meet Senru's forest friend.

​

The city of Shunrou was quiet save for the occasional song of crickets and frogs. To many normal people, the night portrayed a sense of tranquility, stillness, and inactivity. However, to Kailai, it was as busy as any afternoon in the marketplace. Kailai could hear it all—the hooting of owls as they greeted one another, the chattering of crickets as they discussed the whereabouts of food, and the calling of a male frog as it searched for a lover. It was all very distracting, but—at the same time—reassuring.


Arms folded in his sleeves, Kailai strolled through the empty streets, enjoying the night breeze that brushed against his hair. He passed a bulletin board with several wanted posters. Most of the posters depicted bandits that seemed to have made their homes in the woods outside of the city. However, there was one portrait that caught Kailai’s attention. It was a crudely drawn sketch of a beast of some sort. Kailai frowned, leaning over to read the description.


A vicious, wild creature known to prey upon humans. Travellers beware. Any brave warrior that kills the beast and brings proof of its death to the palace will receive 100 gold by order of the Emperor. @Ryuko Seiko


Kailai sighed. Logically, he knew such an order was necessary to protect the citizens of the city. Not all animals were friendly and quite a few in the forest preyed upon humans. However, as someone who could speak to animals, Kailai couldn’t help but feel saddened. It was misunderstandings like these and lack of communication that led to animosity—both in humans and animals. Ever since the mysterious death of the previous emperor and the disappearance of Princess Akemi—which essentially ended the royal Konishi line—the Kutou Empire had grown more militaristic under the leadership of the new emperor. It had allowed the country to grow more prosperous and the citizen’s lives to improve drastically, but at the cost of increased warfare. @animegirl20


Hence the search for the Celestial Warriors.


Kailai was diverted from his thoughts when he heard Senru call out to him. Glancing up, the Imperial Librarian caught sight of the falcon circling his head. He chuckled.


“Well, aren’t you exited? Find your forest friend, did you?” Kailai tilted his head. “He’s coming here?” Kailai nodded, an amused smile on his face. “Sure, I’d love to meet him. Lead the way.”


Kailai watched as Senru took to the skies. It had been a while since he’d seen Senru so lively. Brushing a stray lock of hair behind his ear, the Imperial Librarian followed Senru…but at a more leisurely pace.

Half an hour later...​

When Kailai arrived at the city gates there seemed to be some sort of commotion. Armored guards surrounded a small ox-drawn wagon.


“Who are you guys? What are you doing arriving at Imperial Capital so late at night? State your purpose.”


“Look at her clothes!” One of the city guards pointed at the pigtailed-girl riding in the back. “She must be foreigner! And she’s covering something!”


Another guard reached forward to yank the foreigner's hand from her forehead. “What are you hiding? We won’t allow suspicious people into the city—,”

Location: Temple in the town near Hanun River


What am I doing? Talking to Namame and Gensho


^v^v ^v^v ^v^v ^v^v ^v^v^
​

The strange man and the boy were obviously displeased seeing her shake violently and eventually almost strangling one of them. She was pushed a little by the man who held her putting a distance between them, almost tripping her as her feet walked backwards. Luckily, though her balance was slightly a little wiggly at first, she managed to stand firm with her feet apart trying to stop them from taking another step. Her arms were both at her front close to her body, as if they were on guard for any attack she might receive. Koi looked at both men who indeed looks so strange. One of them was a little boy who just stared at her stoicly. He looked cute and innocent but him being involved in this "kidnapping" puzzled her a lot. She then looked at the tall man with white hair who held her not long ago. She was much more afraid of him even if the stranger's face didn't look like he was a bad guy. Both of them looked educated and they didn't look like the usual gangsters with the gangster kind of face. The sight of the temple and the aura of the environment did calm her quite a bit, but it didn't remove her fear and confusion for what was happening back then. Not to mention, her friend was still missing and a lot of strange experiences happened in less than an hour.


The taller man then introduced himself and the boy as Gensho and Namame. She listened very attentively to the next sentences his mouth uttered. Gensho apologized and assured Koi that no harm will be done to her. He then asked her the same questions she was asking herself. Calmer than before, the girl couldn't care if they were good or bad people now. She had no one to turn to and the experiences she had today was just overwhelming. Like a broken fosset, tears in her eyes seemed to come out of nowhere and dripped all over her cheeks. Her mouth contracted as if they want to wiggle, and her chest tightened up. Unconsciously, the maiden was already crying. "N-no... I'm sorry", she apologized and answered in a shaky voice while wipping her cheeks and eyes with a handkerchief from her shoulder bag. The girl felt ashamed of crying in front of complete strangers. "I'm not from here. This place looks like ancient China., she described as she looked around not intending to mock the place. "I don't know what's happening. I w-was with my friend, and we went to a bookstore. And then we read this book titled Universe of the Four Gods. And then a light flashed at us and the next thing I knew was I was under the bridge near a town and my friend was missing", she narrated in an unorganized manner as she stared at an empty space in between Namame and Gensho, trying to recall what happened. "Have you seen her?", she asked them looking directly to their eyes, trying to ask for help. Sensing that the men will help her in some way and that they were there for her for some kind of reason she is yet to understand, she asked a question, "Why...Why did you get me? Who are you?" , asking the same question again, now with a different meaning.

​

The young monk watched as the girl from the other world has been set by grief and started to cry. He could only listen to her explain what happened as anything he did may be perceived by her as inappropriate. At that time, he considered how she was at first angry and confused, which quickly was followed by sadness and worry. He looked over at Namame. " Perhaps we should have some dinner prepared for us. " he suggested as he noticed the shadows were lengthening through the halls of the temple. Gensho would stay behind with the priestess to explain a few things to her. " Namame will get food ready for us.... It was not of our doing to have you brought here to us young lady." he began. " The 'book' you had in your possession, possess' great magic. Strong enough it is to have brought you here to our world. If this one is not mistaken, there is a way for you to return home."


Gensho thought further on what she mentioned. The priestess said she was with a friend. Although she was not seen to be with her when the two celestial warriors came to her, he did believe in the possibility her friend was also meant to be in this world... as another priestess. Such a revelation concerned him about the future, but it would do no good to mention that to her now, as it was only a mere guess. " If your friend was not with you perhaps she did not come with you. But if she has, she will be safe. That is something that can be assured." he added. Gensho got up to unlock the doors of the temple. " You have yet to share your name." he said.

 

[The Suspicious Eye]

Pastless Wanderer Ashitare


Location: Near Shunrou Capital City


Mood: Calm to Angered


What am I Doing? Conversing with Mei and Jun, when some guards barged in.

Ashitare wasn't too worried about the marking, he thought it was only natural to have one. For as long as he remember the symbol on his chest was there. It is supposedly a symbol meaning Ashitare, at least that is what Rima told him. He smiled at Mei as she tried to rub it away. As she inquired on his won well being he gave her a soft smile, "I am fine Miss Mei, and you should not worry about the symbol, it will fade. Rubbing it will only make your forehead red." He looked between the two girls as they conversed about the capital. He thought back to a falcon who seemed to come from the capital. His owner must be very wealthy to have such a prized creature. It is possible that he may be able to help them. I don't know much of Jun's predicament, but if a nobleman would be willing to help, he be much more useful than I. Turning to the two girls he spoke up, "I may know someone in the city who may help you two. It is a slim chance, but I see no harm in asking."


Before the girls could even answer the cart began to jerk forward. "Sorry the old ox does what he wants sometimes." As the cart slowly headed closer towards the capital city Asitare followed behind. When they were at the capital gates the cart came to a sudden halt as a group of guards came up to them. From their brutish mannerisms and voice Ashitare knew that this would be trouble. He hadn't been around men in years, but somehow remembered the stern tone and aggressive nature, he didn't like it one bit.


Ashitare spoke to the men, "we a simply weary travelers. Hey!" He walked over to the man who grabbed Mei's arm and grabbed the man's hand tight with his left hand and put his right on the man's chest pushing him back. "Let go of her," he said in a intimidating tone, he clenched down o the guard's wrist causing him to wince a little. Ashitare held on tightly until the guard let go and stepped back. With a huff he looked at the guards "is this really how you treat travelers?"


The old man was shocked by the sudden action. He just hoped that he wouldn't be imprisoned for this, he had a family to provide for and tend to. He stayed quiet hoping that the guards would burn out of steam and let them pass with a warning. Keeping his head down someone caught his eye, he looked up. His face grew pale when he realized that it was a imperial lord. He turned to Ashitare, "hush boy do not cause a scene."


(Not the best, I've been a bit under the weather.)

MEI-LIN SUNG​

Mei-Lin looked to Jun, "You have one as well?" She then looked to Ashitare, "And you?" She had to admit, it felt good not being the odd man out in that respect, as she was the oddball of everyone by her 'strange clothes.' Did she really go back in time somehow?! She gave them both a smile, "I'm glad you guys are alright, I know we just met but I care about anyone who treats me with kindness." She looked to Jun, "You already look like someone who can kick lots of butt, Jun! I really admire you for being a strong and independent woman!" She looked to Ashitare with hope in her eyes, "There is someone who can help us there?! Great! I wonder if he's a wizard of some sort that can take me home!" She thought of the Wizard of Oz, and considering this was all too real, it wasn't a far fetched idea. When the cart began to move she gasped in surprise, but then smiled to her new companions. "Yep, seems like we're headed that way, Jun, but if Ashitare is right there is someone there to help us both!" She said with the utmost confidence.

When they got to the gates, however, Mei's hopes were dashed. Already the guards were hostile, apparently they did not like foreigners in their city-and she was the one that had to stand out the most. She stood up, "W-wait a second, I just came to ask for help--ahh!" She screamed as a guard grabbed her arm, and as Ashitare came to her rescue, the symbol on her forehead glowed brighter than before, and in the skies the sound of lightning began to crackle-and it was a clear day. She glared at the men, her heart racing in fear as she tried to stand her ground. "Look, we mean no one any harm, alright?! I need to see someone that can help me in the city, so please, let us pass?" She said with urgency but with a strong firm tone as well. Her look softened as her dark blue eyes rested on Ashitare, "Thank you, again, for saving me, Ashitare." She then looked to the skies, "Um...did anyone one else hear thunder earlier...?"

Hak

Date; September 2


Location; Koukan Empire, West Side Touran

------------------------



​

It had been several months since a Decree by the Emperor to find the Warriors of Genbu came out. Well, that was fine and all but one person in particular didn't really care.


Hak. He is a Celestial warrior of Genbu, supposed to answer the calls of the Empire. To discuss a duty he was well informed of from a early age. Quite frankly, He eluded the Search force sent by the War Minister almost hilariously. He had more or else actually tailed them back to Touran fairly recently. As such, he had two choices that day; Go the the Palace or go to the Tavern. He elected to go for a drink, the plan would be to go to the Palace later to make himself known.


Several days passed since and he had completely forgotten about the summons.


Come to the present day, Hak woke up in a room. he remembered that he had almost got caught by the Search Force and forced himself to hide in the more dangerous parts of Touran; the West side. Even though many tired the attack him or swindle him, he usually beat them back either with words or literally beating the crap out of them in frustration. Yesterday he had helped some women get away from a group of thugs who more or less wanted them for devious things. It eventually became known that a man in west side helped people out. He kept his identity a secret, especially since those in the Palace know what he looks like.


And it was like that, he was staying at a place above a tavern in the west side close to one of the exits for a quick getaway. But that wasn't why he woke up, he had a strange feeling on his chest. Literally. He pulled back his shirt and saw his mark pulsating. "What the heck?" The first thing he thought was that if he was still drunk. But he didn't feel like crap.. He knew what this meant, and he moved quickly. Grabbing his sword he left his other weapon behind.


Quickly heading towards where he felt to go, he hurried quickly. Eventually finding himself in the Grand Market District. he looked around as the pulsating got more apparent. Turning a few corners, he eventually came across an unusual site.


The girl was wearing strange clothes, calling out for someones name. 'Oy oy, not very discreet?' Suddenly, two man were near her, thinking that he should remember who they were, one of them, a Monk, suddenly moved behind her and knocked her out. 'Oh crap..' Hak moved quickly, but they moved quicker. As he got closer they left through the ground, Hak instantly knew he used magic. Before he could jump in to follow, the portal closed and became a normal puddle of water. The Pulsing was still there, but wasn't as strong. Where did they go? Hak stood there... then started to have a headache. "Ah... Hangover..." He suddenly heaved and threw up.


After that, he decided the best course of action was to remain in Touran for the time being. 'The Priestess is here, which means those two were most likely the other Celestial warriors.. Did they take her to the Minister?' He was sitting in a bar, strangely not drinking as much. But he figured, he may as well wait for them. He knew the girl's face. While thinking about this he took a big gulp of his drink. "Still sucks compared to the villages..."

Mitsuhide

Location: Seiryuu Court

Activity: Visiting library after work.​

Spoiler

source: The Costume Museum - The Rebirth of The Tale of Genji


Mitsuhide was finally done with his work in the treasury. Afterwards he decided to visit the library. Still dressed in his court outfit he slowly walked towards the library. The outfit isn't as restricting as it seems to be, although he is forced to take short steps. For anyone who doesn't know him, he seems unarmed. All he's carrying about is his fan.


Arriving at the library he walks through it, in search of more books about signs and symbols. On passing he notices Kailai, the thought 'now there's an odd sight, a sleeping head librarian.' passes through his mind as his eyes fall upon the scroll. Not wanting to disturb him he moved on towards the books and starts browsing the titles. Several titles pass his eyes, Family symbols, Military companies. Mitsuhide sighs, he has already read and committed all of these to memory, but none matched the symbol on his shoulder.


While browsing he suddenly senses the symbol on his shoulder growing warm. Quickly looking around he sees nobody nearby, and lets out a sigh of relieve. 'Why would it do that now, after being silent for so many years.... Maybe Kailai could help me finding information about it.', he thinks as he decides to reveal his mark for the first time to someone else. After deciding this he goes back to where he saw Kailai, but he isn't there anymore. "Just my luck", he mumbles as he moves off to search the library for Kailai.


While searching for Kailai he meets up with another librarian, keeping that librarian in his sight Mitsuhide wonders whether or not he knows where Kailai went. Taking his time Mitsuhide finally decides to ask the librarian where he can find Kailai. "Excuse, do you know where the Kailai, the head librarian is?". 'I saw him leave the library some time ago. Is there anything else I can help you with?', Mitsuhide sighs as he hears the librarians response. "Well, I guess I'll go back and browse through some more symbols. Can you get me a book containing rare symbols or markings?". The librarian nods and moves off. Moving to a nearby table Mitsuhide awaits the librarians return.


While waiting he thinks about how he should approach Kailai when he sees him again. His thoughts get interrupted as the librarian returns with a book containing legends, 'I've read this once, and there are some symbols mentioned here.' To prove this the librarian places the book open in front of Mitsuhide on a page containing a drawing of a person with a marking. Sadly the marking is ineligible. "Thank you", Mitsuhide says as the librarian moves away to continue what he was doing.

 

[animegirl20]

Jun looked over at Ashitare and was about to speak when suddenly the cart jerked. She then settled back into her seat and looked at Mei. "Yeah trust me there isn't a single person in that capital that can help me." She smiled a laughed a little to herself. "Besides I don't need any help I've been ok so far on my own." As they reached the gates to the city the cart stopped. then a group of guards headed towards them. "Crap...." Jun thought for moment maybe they wouldn't recognize her. She decided not to hide her face and see if the guards knew her face. The guards seem hostel, no surprise there. Suddenly one of the guards grabbed Mei. Jun was about to help but Asjhitare ended up taken care of it. But wow did that girl's symbol glow bright. Jun wondered who the heck this person really was. Jun looked over at Mei, "Nice looks you can stand up for yourself. And yeah I didn't hear thunder....I think that was you." As she was talking to Mei one of the guards walked up to her. "Hey! Haven't I seen you before?" Jun cussed in her head then turned around. "Um nope never been here in my life." The guard stared her. "You sure cause you really look like Prin-" The guard fell to the ground in mid sentence. Jun had punched him and got knocked out. She then cracked her knuckles. "Can't believe that guard was so easy to knock out." She might had made thing s little worse but she didn't care she would take them all on if needed be.

​

What am I Doing? Breaking up a fight.


​

Kailai frowned, wondering why the city guards had stopped the small cart from entering Shunrou. It appeared to be a normal-looking wagon driven by an elderly man. Surely an old man and a small group of travelers didn’t require so many guards. There were even a couple of girls riding in the back—granted one of them was oddly dressed. Kailai frowned, trying to recall if there was a country that wore such unique black and white attires. However, before he got a chance to ponder his inquiry, things took a turn towards violence.


“What’s going o—,” Kailai stepped forward only to stop, his jaw dropping slightly at what he saw. A blue light emitted from the pig-tailed girl’s forehead where the character for Seiryuu appeared. He could feel his own celestial mark beating in response.


She can’t be—


“Sorceress!” One guard glanced warily at the sky.


Another guard supported his knocked-out comrade while the rest of the soldiers took an aggressive stance. “Enemies—possibly rebels! They’re trying to infiltrate the city!”


“Someone sound the alarms!”


“STOP!” Kailai shouted in the most authoritative voice he could muster. It was only a pale imitation of his father deep commanding tone, but it managed to interrupt the chaos nonetheless. All the guards turned towards him. Some had relief on their faces…at least until they heard Kailai’s following order. “Everyone put down your weapons this instant.”


“B-but Lord Wen! They—,”


Senru screeched and swooped down, landing on one of the travelers’ shoulders—the pale one with black and white hair.


So this is Senru’s forest friend.


“—are my guests,” Kailai finished, watching his best friend peck affectionately at the handsome stranger’s ear. He ignored the incredulous looks he received and approached the group of travelers in a friendly manner. His eyes flickered to the pig-tailed girl wearing a strange dress.


I can’t be sure if I’m right about her—at least until I double-check the scroll—but if I am, she may very well be Kutou’s savior.


Placing his right fist in his left palm, he greeted them. “I apologize for the rude welcome. My name is Kailai Wen, scion of the Wen family and third son of General Bakryuu.” Kailai paused, a sardonic smile forming on his lips. “But you can also call me Tomo. It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance.”

Assassin Namame
~~~~~~~

Location : Temple of Hanun River


With... : Celestial Warrior Gensho


Priestess Koi Miazaki

~~~~~~~​

Namame was now but a figure lurking in the shadows watching over the monk and the priestess with what appeared to be little to no interest. A separate entity, as if a barrier stood between him and them, as the bizarre female seemed to settle down and show willingness to abide to Gensho’s attempts to lead this to a civilized conversation. Lost in his own thoughts, the boy’s attention was brought back to them as his name was spoken in the distance. What was it? Why had they spoken his name? Was something wrong? Was it something important?

His doubts were cleared in the moment the white haired male motioned him to come forth and join them. Reluctance would be a euphemism in order to describe what he felt towards this action. Was it really necessary for him to do so? He was most likely of no use in this situation. But if he refused...? Sighing, the young assassin allowed his feet to lead him towards the man and the woman, sitting down by Gensho's side in absolute silence. The moment Koi joined them in a soon-to-be circle, however, did not go uncertain from his part. His immediate reaction was of a subtle jolt, followed by an attempt to keep a certain distance from her.

Koi seemed to break down little by little, her voice trembling as she spoke, something that he could not find help but feel most…uncomfortable just by beholding the sight of her baring herself before them like that. Perhaps because he felt no empathy towards his stranger whom he was supposed to protect. He couldn’t even remember the last time he had cried, much less knowing of what to do in a scenario like this. He would simply glance her from the corner of his eye, his body stiff, tense. What could this be, this narrowing feeling inside him? Annoyance? Confusion? Frustration? The moment their eyes met shunned any chances of this action to go any further, making Namame violently reject her gaze and thus, refusing to answer her question. It was not as if he knew any better anyhow…

He could not be more grateful for Gensho’s intervention as the latter turned to face him. A wise decision too, as expected of someone like him. The night was coming. They should not be careless, even in such an isolated place. He nodded his head and quietly left his…companions? Could he really call them that as of now? He was not sure, not sure at all. But no matter, he had a task to do. He could might as well get started instead of wasting his time thinking about trivial things. He found himself left to his solitude in an unknown area, surrounded by plant life. But for some reason, that did not inflict him with any signs of wariness or hostility in the least. Animals and plants had always been something he felt rather comfortable to be around. As if he was amongst his own. Such would most likely not come off as a surprise for those who knew him...

Now, what was there to do...? Food, food...well, a river was nearby. Perhaps some fish could be caught there. Berries and other fruits could also work too. Eh, it was strange...even after so long living in the estate, the thought of hunting and whatnot would come to him quite naturally. Well, habits die hard, as his master would say whenever he would reach for his missing arm, touching nothing but air with his gentle smile that never wavered. Namame did not waste any time. Soon after, he would raise three fishes in a...victorious fashion, if you could call it that. He could do this much, it was really nothing to be so proud of...how childish. But then, something assaulted him in that exact instant. Did Priestesses eat fish? Or rather, did people eat fish in her world? "....Hm...." His confidence faltered as he confronted this issue. Gensho surely expected him to get food for all the three of them...

Agh, why was he so concerned about this? The woman was in this world now, she had to grow used to their mores eventually, did she not? But even his argument would not stop his feet from heading further into the forest. He should find something else for her to eat in here...but what? His eyes darted from trees to grass, his ears careful to not miss any sign of a presence nearby. And thus, it paid off. Caws in the distance would faintly reach him, bringing a sense of relief to him. Perhaps a bird would do the trick.

But the moment he arrived at the place emanating these sounds, Namame felt as if his heart sank. He stood speechless, staring at the sight before him wide-eyed, holding his breath for what to seem an eternity. The bird was small, fragile just by its looks alone. It cried out in despair, cries of help, fear, pain. The crow was merciless, its craving for the small creature growing more and more, it kept attacking it. Again. Again. Again.

Until the blade of death was carved in its breast, blood dripping down its black form. With one last caw, it succumbed to numbness. Again. Again. Again. Blood spilled, staining his face, his clothes. But he didn’t stop. He did not stop until it stopped breathing completely. Until its warm vanished completely. It took him a while to move again, his hand trembling ever so slightly before he let go of the corpse. His eyes followed the trail of scarlet where a dying baby bird fought to keep breathing. The young man simply picked it up as gently as he could, as if cradling the creature in his hands. And like that he stood, impassible, incapable of doing anything.

No hope was left for the weak.

That was…what he had learned that day.

“End his pain, Wei Lun.”

A gentle, kind voice, hands upon his shoulder. Cold, so cold.

“He’s in pain. Do you want to see your friend in pain?”

Cold hands. Such cold hands over his. Now, a head, a small head.

“There is no hope left for him, child.”

No, no, no. Tears stream down his face. His head shakes again and again.

“…It’s…”

He can’t hear it. He can’t…

“It’s an order, Wei Lun.”

And then, all its darkness from him. He is blinded, stolen away, he disappeared.

The neck is broken. The body falls on the ground. Breathing ceases.

It’s cold.

It’s so, so cold.

Namame screams.

The night had came and so he returned. Carrying the three fishes, fruits, berries…a decent seems to be in store for the trio. And his clothes are scarlet here and there, as well as his cheeks. Ah, he had forgotten those spots. But at least his hands are clean. He won’t spoil the meal. “Gensho.” He calls the older Celestial, gesturing the food towards him, as if awaiting for his approval or disapproval.

Warrior Toyu


Location : Yangzhou bathhouse, Shunrou Capital City


What am I doing? : Enjoying the hospitality of the Famous Public Bathhouse, after a rigorous training session.


One of the few pleasures that Toyu enjoyed was to head to the Yangzhou bathhouse, rather than go back to the barracks with the other officers. He was never really one for mixing it with his fellows, though he let them think that they were worthy of his attention. A military man that lived and breathed his life of service to the Emperor. Few could fault him upon the training fields, and he had proved his worth many a time in active service. Some say he had no heart, others whispered about his fallen father. None dared speak it to his face however. Not if they valued their life. So when he turned in the direction of the city commercial district, there were none that batted an eyelid, nor asked after him. It was just how it was.


Approaching the bathhouse, that was modestly signed from the outside - Toyu let out a contented sigh. His body ached after the rigorous training, and he could really use this time to reflect and simply enjoy the pleasures that the bathhouse attendants offered. One young girl was already waiting at the door. Her black hair pulled back into a neat bun, and she bowed low as Toyu approached.


"Welcome again, Boss."





"Mmm." The girl was lucky to even illicit a reaction or sound from him at all. His face showed no emotion as he passed her, and she quickly hurried on in, ringing a small brass bell to alert the other attendants that they had a very distinguished client. Whilst Toyu was not a "Boss" per say, that was the term used by the attendants to all the notable clients. Being one of the Emperor's own, he wore the colorful cape, that draped over his shoulders and covered half of his chest. His weapons strapped to his belt, which he would remove along with the rest of his kit, once he had entered the inner sanctum. Within the bathhouse, the lighting was dim and the air filled with the scent of exotic burning oils that helped to relax the clients and make them feel right at home. Here was a place, where he could be treated like the Emperor himself and it was something that Toyu truly didn't mind.


Lead out into a larger room, where there were other half naked males already being seen to by their attendants. Waiters that held their clothing on long poles, that kept their valuables and clothing on a pile at the very top. At least three metres from the ground. This was to ensure the safety of their belongings - another notable service.


Being led to a seat, Toyu started to remove his armor shoulder guards, and then his sword belt which he handed to two separate waiters. The weight of his armor was such it was a little bit too heavy for the poles. Toyu could feel the eyes of a few other men, possibly politicians or wealthy merchants gazing at his well toned physique. It was not uncommon to be considered attractive, even to men. Toyu acted as though it didn't phase him, making a bit of a show of removing his clothes, and kicking off his boots. As he went to sit, a pretty attendant came in and offered him a cup of green tea - part and parcel of the services. It was to help the Warrior relax, and Toyu accepted the cup without word. The young girl hovered for a moment, as though something had caught her eye. Being that Toyu was now shirtless it wasn't uncommon for the girls to stare. But what she was staring at, was something that even he didn't expect. He could feel the slight twinge sensation. For a moment he thought that she might have spilled tea on him, but on looking down he see the burning symbol that was now glowing on his chest. The warrior's eyes narrowed as he set down his cup on the side of the wooden bench, and then ran the tip of his finger over the symbol.


"it's never burnt like this before" Toyu thought to himself. Glancing up, he could see the girl was ogling it now almost like she was mesmerized by the glowing mark. When she saw that the warrior was now staring directly at her, as though he could incinerate her just with his gaze, the young girl caught herself and snapped back to reality. She squeaked that the warrior would need his hot towel, while his clothing was raised on the pole. But with what was happening to him, he knew that the time for lazing in the steaming waters would have to wait.


Was this the sign? Was this the moment he had been waiting for in what felt like forever?


Growling angrily, he snatched back his clothing and hastily started to dress himself again. Toyu needed to find the answers as to why his mark had come to life. He had almost finished fixing on his cape, when he heard the sounds of raised voices that were coming from a short distance away.


“Enemies—possibly rebels! They’re trying to infiltrate the city!”


“Someone sound the alarms!”





Hearing the commotion, Toyu tied off his belt and with his boots put on a little haphazardly, the statuesque warrior thundered back outside, only to see some sort of altercation occurring near the city gates. A wagon - nothing really out of the ordinary there, but as Toyu drew closer he heard the sound of the Imperial Librarian's voice. It was unmistakable, and he said loudly - “I apologize for the rude welcome. My name is Kailai Wen, scion of the Wen family and third son of General Bakryuu.”


A name dropper. It was one of the things that Toyu simply refused to do. No point dragging up the wretched history of his family, when Toyu had been able to carve out a name for himself. Stopping just a few feet away from the gathered group, the blonde haired warrior folded his arms, as the guards appeared to take the Imperial Librarian at his word. But it was the next part that caught Toyu off guard.


“But you can also call me Tomo. It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance.”





Toyu's blue eyes narrowed on hearing this and even more so when he saw the young girl with the pig tails in the strange clothing. She certainly didn't look local at all. The warrior took another two steps and saw the flash of what was a blue symbol that had glowed from her forehead. Surely he was mistaken. Could this....child be....the one? Seeing an opportunity to make himself known, Toyu strolled up, with his arms being dropped to his sides till he came to one of the guards who had yelled so shrilly about the ....enemy invaders. Snatching up one from the scruff of the back of his neck, he lifted him high enough so that his feet dangled precariously underneath him.


"These....don't look like murderous rebels to me." Toyu's fingers dug hard into the back of the scared guard's neck as Toyu then gave a sly smile towards 'Tomo." "Ah Lord Wen. How nice to see that you have taken to manning the gates, instead of dusting the tomes in the Imperial Library. All this...excitement must be invigorating for you, hmm?" Toyu let the guard fall suddenly and without warning so he landed in a crumpled heap. As the guard tried to crawl away, Toyu made sure to stomp on his hand as he approached the young girl with pigtails, who may well have found all this a little intimidating.


"Let me guess, you're....a Princess travelling in disguise?" Toyu blatantly ignored the others that were her travelling companions, as he had already found this girl to be more than interesting.

Mitsuhide

Location: Seiryuu Court

Activity: Working on treasury files​

As Mitsuhide was browsing the book he found references for the ineligible symbol from the picture. Apparently the symbols mentioned in this book are markings found in the night sky. The markings are made by drawing lines between the stars. Mitsuhide sighs, he has never had any interest in astrology and now it seems like his marking could be something that is described in this book. He sits that for a moment completely flabbergasted. "No way, this cannot be it.", he decides as he closes the book.


Mitsuhide places the book on a pile, containing books that still need to be returned to their shelves. He stands there for a moment pondering if he should go home for today or look just a bit longer. "It could be that there is something of truth in it.... But I am getting a bit hungry....". A bit of time passes as he's deciding whether or not to continue looking. "Hmmmm, I guess I could just look up some astrology book and see if it matches anything listed there.". Having the choice made he walks again between the book shelves in search of the astrology section.


Arriving at the astrology section he starts browsing the books listed there until he finds a title that could be useful.


'How to read the stars' "definitly not.".


'The influence of the sky' "Not interested in that.".


'Why the stars are right' "Sounds more like a novel.".


'What the sky shows us' "This could be useful.".


Mitsuhide takes the book from the shelve and continues looking for at least one more book. After looking through several more titles he ends up carrying 'What the sky shows us', 'The history of the sky' and 'Images seen through stars' towards the table where he was sitting earlier. "Well let's see if I can get any wiser from these books.", he thinks as he sits down and starts browsing through them in search of the marking on his shoulder.

MEI-LIN SUNG​

Now, there was too much going on now! First a man came to help the trio of travelers out, and introduced himself as KaiLai Wen, but went by Tomo. Mei-Lin bowed in respect to him, "P-pleased to meet you, Sir!" She rose back up and looked to Jun who was having trouble with a guard who claimed she looked familiar, but Jun was quick to knock him flat on his butt. Mei-Lin grinned, "Wow, Jun, you're awesome! I wish I could be strong like you!" She stopped and looked to another male-who took Mei's breath away, to say the least-came forward to defend the travelers as well. Boy, was it the norm to be saved by hotties in Ancient China?! Cause if that was the case, Mei-Lin almost didn't want to leave, what with all the eye candy to look at! Ashitare, Tomo, this new guy and even Jun was attractive in a tomboyish way. Mei-Lin considered herself lucky to be among such a colorful group suddenly.

Location: Apparently The Kutou Empire; now the capital gate


Mood: Scared and concerned


With: Ahsitare and Jun, as well as the guards, Tomo and a stranger in armor


Clothes: Black and white dress, black stockings and black ankle-


length boots. Hair is in pigtails tied by black ribbons and reaches down to lower back.


Tagged: @The Suspicious Eye @animegirl20 @QuirkyAngel @Ryuko Seiko @Tiny Dancer

The symbol on her forehead remained, glowing a brilliant blue as the man in armor approached her. Her cobalt blue eyes widened and she felt the need to hide behind Ashitare, which she half hid behind anyway. She gulped audibly and tugged at the collar of her black and white dress, "Huh? Me, a princess in disguise?!" She gave a soft but nervous giggle, the man before her intimidating her more and more.


"Um, well, I wish, but to be honest I'm no princess. I just got here from...very far away, if you can believe it! Not sure how to explain exactly how or why, but it all started when my friend and I were reading a book called 'Universe of the Four Gods.' There was this bright light, and I found myself in this strange land, and my friend's gone missing, so I'm here to find her. Also, I'm here to find out what the symbol on my forehead means, I can't see it obviously, but I'm hoping someone here can give me answers." She looked to both the man in armor and Tomo, "Would you both be able to help me, please? I just wanna know why I'm here and what my purpose is, and what The Universe of the Four Gods means." A thought occurred to her, "But...who are these four Gods, exactly?"

 

[animegirl20]

Jun smiled at Mei, "Thanks had to teach my self most of this." She watched as another guard came there was. She stood there ready to knock anyone out if need be but then when asked the girl if she was a traveling princess in disguise Jun almost fell out laughing. Why? Well for one thing she was actually the princess in a disguise. Plus she was hopping this met he was new guard that knew nothing about the real princess that was being looked for. "Yeah I can promise you she is not a princess in disguise." Considering Jun had met most of the princesses from other kingdoms. She looked over at Mei and sighed when she heard her say she wished she was. "Trust me you don't want to wish that." She said thinking of her memories. She then thought it would be a good idea to cover her hair. So she pulled up the hood up just incase the guard did know something. Though she probably should of covered her hair awhile ago.

Koi Miazaki

^v^v ^v^v ^v^v ^v^v ^v^v^


Location: Temple in the town near Hanun River


What am I doing? Checking if Namame was hurt


^v^v ^v^v ^v^v ^v^v ^v^v^
​

Awkwardly wiping off the tears as quickly as she could, the confused maiden kept blinking her eyes to make sure the tears had already cleared up. Gensho then asked Namame to prepare dinner for them which made Koi remember the new sundae she and Mei-Lin were supposed to be eating by now. Oddly and inappropriately enough, she felt more sad as the thought of missing out on the planned girl date with the awesome sundae was enough to return her calmer expression back into a frown. However, seeing Namame quickly respond to Gensho's order made the girl realize that she should be more thankful of her situation, however confusing it is. These people, whoever they are, seemed very willing to help her for whatever reason. It made her wonder why. For now, what she can only do is be thankful.


Before even saying thanks for being hospitable, Gensho suddenly spoke up looking like he can explain what had been going on. He knew about the Universe of the Four Gods! He knew and believed in her that she was not from this world and he even knew a way for her to get back! Koi smiled and to her relief, the tightness of her chest released making her more relaxed. "Really? Oh my shocks! H-how??", she asked excitedly. She felt even happier when Gensho also said that he was sure that Mei-lin is safe, which she believed without doubt. "You think so? How did you know? Can you please help me?", she babbled while approaching Gensho one step at a time in an unrelaxed yet excited kind of way. However, Koi stopped when Gensho stood up and asked for her name. "Oh.."., she blushed in embarassment because of looking like a noisy person, "My bad. My name is Koi. Koi Miazaki. I'm... I'm... 18", she introduced herself not knowing what else to say or if her introduction looked appropriate enough to answer the question of who looks to be a noble man. She needed to atleast heed properly to whatever he was asking since the man looked like he was trying to help her. Not to mention, she also needed to make up for what she did to him earlier.


Hearing distant steps approaching them, she turned and saw Namame returning back, carrying a bunch of fishes, fruits, and berries. However, when light hit the male, it exposed his clothes stained with blood here and there. It was clear that it was blood. Looking at Namame, Koi immediately assumed that he was hurt. He didn't have the face of a person who was hurt, maybe because the boy was quite a poker face?, but what else could be the reason of those stains? "Oh my shocks! Mr. Namame!!!", calling him mister simply because of his noble feature, "What happened? Are you hurt?", she asked worridly as she ran towards him. When Koi got to the stained male, she gently took his free arm to check for wound, gently pulling his sleeves to reveal his arm.

Beast At the Gates

" What is truly fearsome, is when beast and man are indiscernible"

- Ba ren Chou, Leader of the Yaoguay Hunters

​

Seiryu Group


Location: Kutou Empire, Shunrou, District of Noblemen.


Date: September 3




As the day drew to a close and the ruckus caused at the gates was quieted down. All attention knowingly or secretly drew towards the young girl from another world. Perhaps some have already figured it out for they are learned men while others remain unawares. A generous noblemen had prepared quarters for all his newly met guests, perhaps in an attempt to get to the bottom of what is occurring in their town.


The following morning, more and more wanted posters were setup around the town warning of the dangers a certain beast has been presenting on the high roads between the cities of Shunrou and elsewhere. The latest victims happened to be a dozen soldiers in training, slaughtered a mile away from the city gates.


Genbu Group: Koukan Empire,


Location: Toukan Empire, near Port City Oroko


Date: September 3




The group of odd individuals had their dinner in relative silence. As the night grew they all retired to vacant rooms within the temple that the young monk had prepared for all of them. Each must have had much to think about during the night. The following morning after a quick breakfast, the group was making their way to the nearest town, Port City Oroko. Close to about mid day they reached within sight of the gate unaware that a few surprises were about to befall them all.

Hak

​

Hak had to leave that night, as he was found by the Task force after someone told them about him being at a tavern. At that time, he was reminded about his mission, lest a certain person were to be a victim. At first he was furious, but they said that that Person was now with them, telling that they would harm the person if he did not comply.


That person being someone he treasures dearly.


He then traveled to Port City Oroko that night and arrived that late morning-early afternoon, although he was annoyed and pissed at the same time. But he very well recalled what would happen if he did not find the Priestess.


'Even though I am supposed to protect the priestess... ' He thought to himself as he approached the gates of the Port. He hopes that he would be forgiven.. Though, he plans to save both her and this person at the same time if need be. But to do that he must go through with it.


He knows she is here, and that those two the other day were other Celestial Warriors, but he said nothing. Even though he had followed the Task force to the city, when he got her, they would meet at the Port itself. 'Lets hope I know what i am doing...' he thought to himself. Before seeing a Tavern that also had an Inn. 'Well what do you know? well.. Drinking always helps when thinking.. I guess''


Hak adjusted his Guan Dao on his back before entering the Tavern.

Monk Gensho

Location: Koukan Empire, Port City Oroko


Group: Gensho, Namame, Koi


​

When Gensho awoke the following day it was before dawn. He got busy preparing the temple, cleaning the main hall, dusting the statues and paintings, performing his morning training sessions. It dawned on him, as he watched the sunrise through the many pillars in the establishment, that particular sunrise was the first of its kind. It signified to him how his old life had been completed and now his new one as a celestial warrior had truly begun. He wondered if her arrival will have the same profound effect on the lives of the others. Alas he was still troubled as he was cursed to realized the potential truth of the matter; Koi's friend as the priestess of another God. He purged the thought before it could lead him to the inevitable thought.


He prepared packed food for their journey to the Port City of Oroko. When everyone had awaken and they were ready, they made way for the city. During the short journeying towards their goal, Gensho explained in detail as to why she was brought to this world, but was careful not to mention that possibility to fit her friend. " It is said when the Priestess and the Seven Celestial Warriors call upon the Northern God Genbu, that a new age of miracles and wonders will occur." he mentioned. Gensho had yet to reveal that he and Namame were both celestial warriors. He thought for now it should remain a secret.

Mitsuhide

Location: Seiryuu Court

Activity: On route to Kailai

​

​

Even though Mitsuhide had a late night at the library, he was up early. The marking on his shoulder was bothering him ever since it was pulsing last night. He just had to know what it means. Moving slowly he headed seemingly unarmed towards Kailai's residence. On route he notices a poster which he hadn't seen before. He looks at it, after only taking a moment to memorize it he continues on his path towards Kailai. "Hmmm sounds like an annoyance, the beast taking out a dozen of trainees." Mitsuhide lets out a sigh, "The military can take care of it. Not like there's anything I could do.". So Mitsuhide thinks, convincing himself that he can't help. Even though he could most likely stand his own against the kingdoms well known fighters.


Meanwhile Mitsuhide was entering the Wen compound the guards were getting ready to stop him from entering. Mitsuhide looked up from behind his fan, which he had unfolded while walking. This would help him hide his facial expressions while he was thinking. The guards saw that it was Mitsuhide and they visibly relaxed. Walking over to the guards, "Good morning, is Kailai perhaps here?". One of the guards leans over towards Mitsuhide and whispers to him, "Not only is he here, he even brought strangers over. I'm telling you, the outfit of one of those girls was definitely not from around here. You should see for yourself.", moving backwards again the guard continues in a normal voice as if he didn't tell Mitsuhide anything yet. "Yes he's here. I believe you know where he would be around this time, so go right on through.". The way the guard said it revealed to Mitsuhide where he should be heading.
