Several red lanterns were lining the path leading to the village. The winds howled into the night as some of the light powdered snow lifted into the air. Snow was a year-round thing in this town as they were high enough on the mountain that it never seemed to go away for very long. There was a brief growing period, but that didn't make enough food for the town. So they would often buy food in bulk from traveling merchants. Much of the people while it wasn't a rich town could provide for themselves well enough. Most of the town worked as miners and there were several black smiths that called the place home.

A few guards moved through the town with their torches though nothing really seemed out of the ordinary. There were rumors swirling around the region that a gifted blacksmith called this place home. Though he only seemed to be interested in forging equipment for the miners. Now, as the winter season was starting to set in, many of the miners were enjoying their break from the mine as it wasn't operating during the coldest part of the winter.

Many travels and traders moved through the region so it wasn't unfamiliar to see new faces. Some of the people that arrived in the town seemingly never left and decided to stay there. With that being said there were rumors of cannibalism running through the town. Though no one had ever confirmed these rumors and many took them as here say. But that didn't stop the rumors from spreading and continuing to be spoken about.

A kitsune male stood outside his forge as he was hammering a piece of metal into shape. As the sparks flew into the air, he examined the hot metal before returning it to the flame. He repeated this process a few times until the piece of metal started to take the shape of a pickaxe head. After a few more times, he put the hot metal head into some cold water as the steam came up the water boiled as it quickly cooled it off.

Seikatsu Mitsunari

Purposelessness was a strange and somehow freeing sensation and Mitsunari found himself welcoming it while also aiming to be rid of it. Ever since he traveled with Ceylan and the two were healed of their curses, Mitsunari acted without agency. He no longer had to scour the continent for possible cures and powerful healers, he was free to choose a new goal. But what was it to be?

In his wandering through Kuridan’s many regions one thing had stuck with him. That sheep girl he and Ceylan had crossed paths with said that his people were protectors and revered among the races of the republic. At the time it had been news to him, but it was not too far from what he knew of Kitsune from his old life.

That bit of information left him thinking that Kuridan would be the perfect place to begin his rise to power. A place where his people were already seen as figures of importance. But building a base and a name would take time and resources He had monsters and a samurai all with weak weapons that would do them no good against sturdier foes. So his first task would be to secure for them a means to acquire and maintain such equipment.

Which brought him to the village of Nan Pass. He'd heard many things about the village but most importantly was that it was a mining village that was home to several blacksmiths. Any of them would probably do, but he'd heard there was a particularly skilled one living here and he wanted that one. His monsters would be a hinderance if he brought them into the village so he left them to wander and roam the hills outside. He brought Takano, the samurai, along with him as the warrior was still new to the monsters and he could not trust them not to try eating the man yet. He was too valuable.

As he entered the village the red lanterns reminded him of home. It was odd how the two worlds were so different yet shared similarities. He vulpine ears picked up on the sound of voices chattering and hammers crashing down against metal. He would need to be cautious of the guards for his criminal titles might get him in some trouble, so he stayed off the main pathways and put his rejuvenated body to work.

Eventually he arrived to where he had heard the hammering noise and gave a gentle knock upon the entrance of the forge. "They say a skilled smith lives in this village and possesses a talent beyond his years." As he entered the forge, Mitsunari's three tails danced about behind him and he dawned a charming smile. "Judging by your latest craft and vigilant work I wonder if you are that blacksmith?" He left his geta at the door and as he stepped out of them a cloud formed beneath his feet and carried him a few inches off the ground.

Totoro Shikigami
​

Totoro grabbed another piece of metal out from the depths of the forge; the kitsune seemed rather occupied on his work. Not really paying attention to the sound of someone approaching until Mitsunari spoke to him. Grabbing the tongs that were leaned up against the wall he placed the hot metal on the anvil and struck if a few times.

When he glanced up he saw Mitsunari float on a cloud that appeared. "Well that's funny, I have heard the same rumors, though I don't know what they are talking about. There are several blacksmiths that would fit that description in my mind." Totoro replied as he paused from his work for only a moment. He made it abundantly clear he didn't think his skill was superior to the other smiths by any means.

He then struck the metal a few more times before placing it back into the forge, taking his haori's sleeve and wiping the sweat from his forehead. "Now with that out of the way have you come here looking for some work or are you just admiring a blacksmith at work?" He replied taking a few steps forward.

Seikatsu Mitsunari ​

The movement of the black tails behind Mitsunari slowed as he listened to the smith deny any true talent that would separate himself from the other craftsmen in the village. He could not attest to the skill of the other smiths and had no intention wasting his time going around to check their work. Whether this man was the best or not didn't much matter because skills could be honed. The kitsune then floated further into the forge, leaving Takano standing in the doorway. "My name is Seikatsu Mitsunari." The mage said plainly. "I am in possession of a small fort where I house a modest following of warriors..." He then pointed to Takano. "...somewhat like him. My hope is to raise an army strong enough to rescue our enslaved kin from the eastern empire and then prevent anymore of us from being enslaved by them." His cloud started to dissipate and his bare feet touched the stone floor of the forge. Mitsunari was determined to have a blacksmith lend their skill to his cause, so he would attempt a peaceful approach with the smith.

"The goal is a lofty one and would take a considerable amount of time to complete and in that time I would need equipment made for my soldiers and that same gear maintained. Having a blacksmith on site at the fort to make that process easier would be a great boon, and the blacksmith who committed to that would be a hero in the eyes of every citizen of the republic." If he was going to convince this man with just his words, Mitsunari would need to be more charming than usual and so he used [Kitsune's Trickery] in the hopes of deceiving the young fox. "You would of course be compensated for your time and skills, and given the best tools and workspace possible. I know it is a sudden and life changing request, but the end goal requires we make sacrifices and give our all in the hope of a better future." Mitsunari's gaze swept upward from the smith's hands to look into his eyes.

• Kitsune Trickery - Educated F [Silver Tongue], Deception, Seduction, Persuasion- The fox uses all his wit to lie and coerce someone to do what they would not normally or to get himself out of trouble. - Grade F

Totoro Shikigami
​

Totoro watched as the strange kitsune man floated further into the forge. He found it strange as his own three white tails swished slowly behind him. When he saw the other man left at the door he stopped hammering the metals grabbing it with the tongs and dropping it into water. "Totoro Shikigami, humble blacksmith," He replied as he now started to eye the strange man with a bit of caution. It wasn't every day that a man would come here and speak about all of this.

"So a host of warriors huh?" He replied as Mitsunari continued to explain who he was and where he was from. Though to be completely honest, he had no ambition to leave the village. So needless to say he couldn't care less about who the man in front of him was. "Well I have to admit that your goals are admirable. But I will have to stop you before you try to entice your offer. I do not care about what is going on outside the village here. I simply make tools and go about my day," Totoro stated as she kept his grip on the hammer and he folded his arms across his chest.

Though that didn't seem to stop Mitsunari from trying to continue. However it would seem the kitsune wouldn't be so easily swayed with the sweet words of the kitsune in front of him. "Well now that is a very interesting offer Mr.Mitsunari but as I said, I have no desire to leave the village or my forge here. Life is simple here and I don't need to be some here to live a fulfilling life," Totoro replied as he kept his gaze on the fox. Needless to say he was far from convinced.

Seikatsu Mitsunari

​

He had tried the polite way and his invitation was shot down by the blacksmith. He couldn't say he expected anything different, but he wanted to try using words instead of magic. He understood now that was a mistake. "Vacuum Press." Suddenly the air in the forge condensed into 25 small spheres that lined the ceiling of the workshop. A smirk crossed Mitsunari's face as his spell activated. Bursts of concentrated wind were aimed at Totoro, firing at him from 25 different angles. using force was not how he hoped this would go, but now that they were on this path he wouldn't pull his punches. He could always heal the smith if his injuries got too serious or capture another if this one happened to die. "Evil Star." A second spell cast by the mage conjured a bright, star-shaped flame several feet in the air above the forge. He knew he could not rely on Takano if the smith was able to fight back or if the village guards showed up, so he had to call in their reserves.

Just outside the village, Mitsunari's monster would see the flame appear in the sky and know it as their master's mark. Without delay the ogres and foo dogs started to stampede towards the village. The star marked their target and they would slay or devour anything that stood between them and their master.

Totoro Shikigami
​

Totoro struck the ground with his hammer, "Forge of Ages." He responded as he struck the ground with the hammer as the compressed air came in and struck the blacksmith as the fissure shot out toward Mitsunari. Mitsunari wouldn't be able to avoid the flames but would have enough time to avoid falling into the hole if he moved quick enough. Totoro made it clear he wasn't going to go down without a fight though the attack from his foe had done some damage as his natural armor as a few cuts had opened up across his body. While the bleeding wasn't life-threatening at the moment, it was noticeable. As the flare shot up across the sky, many people in the village looked up to see the flames. Many people are curious as to what it meant.

This lasted only for a moment as a bell was rung, signaling that something was coming. Though the monsters would arrive shortly (Next round) the lookouts saw the movement of something outside the town and now the small group of guards were rushing toward the main street in an attempt to stop whatever was coming their way.

So he would fight. Mitsunari had to admit, the smith's power was impressive, but that just made him worth all the trouble. When the ground broke open beneath his feet, Mitsunari quickly summoned up his cloud once more, escaping the trench that tried to swallow him up. He swiftly cast his next spell to counter the flames. "Fire Coalescence." The spell would manipulate the incoming inferno, drawing the fire into a single point like light to a blackhole. Once the flames were gathered, they dispersed. He'd felt the sting of fire in the past and he wasn't keen to be its victim once more. "Kitsune's Bite!" Lightning cracked as bolts formed around Mitsunari's left hand. His arm launched forward reaching out for Totoro's face.

Totoro Shikigami
​

Totoro didn't have time to move out of the way as Mitsunari grabbed onto his face and sent a shock through the blacksmith's body. Letting out a shout of pain as he gripped the hammer tighter, he swung up. "Amaterasu's Wraith!" Totoro shouted as he swung his hammer, sending it into Mitsunari's stomach. Some of his muscles still convulsing from the shock he had just received. Taking a few steps back as his breathing started to become heavier.

Outside the forge two guards who were on the way to join the main force heard fighting and are now approaching the forge to see the damage and have drawn their swords. "Hey! What is going on here!" The guards shouted as they were not sure who the stranger outside the forge was. For the group of guards along the edge of the town the monsters and minions of Mitsunari were now able to engage the guards that were now blocking their path to their master.

Seikatsu Mitsunari



​

The fox heaved, almost puking when he felt the hammer crash into his abdomen. He dropped to his knees on the cloud, clutching his stomach still before he looked up to see that Totoro had not taken the opportunity to run. Just as he was devising his next course of action his ears started to twitch, picking up on the sound of enemies approaching. "Fox's Gift." He whispered as he cast the healing spell upon himself. "Lightning Net!" With a wave of his right hand Mitsunari filled the air with mana and conjured an array of lightning between himself and Totoro that resembled a net. The net pushed forward, moving towards the smith like a wall. "Get in here Takano!" The mage commanded.

Mitsunari had appraised Takano of his intentions before they arrived to the village, but to see the fox engage in combat was a new experience for the samurai. So when the village's guard made their approach he was a bit distracted. and it wasn't until they questioned him that he realized what was happening. He was without a weapon and his master called for him. Suddenly a burst of wind replaced Takano's form at the door as he flash stepped into the forge and behind his master. He would look for a weapon to wield if there were any lying around.

Totoro Shikigami
​

Totoro was now trapped in the corner as the strange man conjured a net of lighting. As it came at him he didn't have the room to get out of the way nor the ability to stop it. He went to brace himself for the oncoming attack as Mitsunari healed himself. As the net enveloped him he let out a yell of pain as he was shocked until his body went limp causing him to pass out. While his body still twitched, the samurai wouldn't find any weapon but he would find some wood he could use as a wooden sword if he was in a pinch.

The guards were now slowly approaching the entrance of the forge, meanwhile, the guards at were getting cut down by the beasts rampaging into the village. many of the guards were the lucky ones falling into the holes created by the orges. Screaming echoed into the night as many of the inhabitants ran out trying to get into their homes as the beasts approached hoping they would pass them by.

Seikatsu Mitsunari



​

Takano spotted a wooden sword nearby and didn't hesitate to grab it for himself. He flourished the harmless blade a few times, thinking that this was pathetic, but he had no other choice. Then came the command to apprehend their now unconscious target. "Yes, Seikatsu-sama." Kidnap was not something the samurai approved of, but he had done it once or twice in his past life. This felt different though. No matter how much Mitsunari preached that these crimes were for a just cause, Takano knew the life that awaited this man. With his wooden sword in hand he approached Totoro and kicked the hammer from the man's reach. Then he crouched down and started to tie up the blacksmith with pieces of fabric he ripped from the kitsune's clothes. He also made sure to gag him with some of that fabric.

Now there was nothing left do but make their escape from this hovel. Mitsunari inhaled deeply and as he breathed, the air around the village would be filled with mana and the air would seem to heat up. While the horde chased and corralled people in their homes, rings of fire started to appear at 25 different locations inside the village. "Amaterasu's Wrath" The subtleness of his voice contradicted the spell he cast as the 25 rings of fire erupted with devastating force. Large pillars of fire reached up into the sky as the circles expanded to their full 50ft diameter, enveloping homes, business and even members of his horde. He Made sure not to target the forge they were in, but aimed instead for the building across from it in the hopes of terrifying the soldiers and directing their attention elsewhere. As the towers of fire danced around and started to created plumes of black smoke began to darken the sky, Mitsunari prepared to cast one more spell. "Terra Sling." He waved his hand in the direction of the wall opposite the forge's entrance and at his command the ground gathered into a several spheres that then flung themselves at the wall in the hopes of crashing through it and creating an alternate exit for him and his prize.

• Amaterasu's Wrath - Magic Affinity B, Fire Affinity F, Wind Affinity F, Magic Area Of Effect E, Magic range C, Magic Targets E, Spell Duration E - Fire is conjured in several locations at the caster’s discretion, before shortly erupting into 25 pillars of fire that reach in to the sky.

• Terra Sling - Magic D, Magic Range E, Magic AoE F, Magic Targets E, Earth Affinity F - This spell pulls up the earth in front of Mitsunari and condenses it into ten large spheres, each one 15ft in diameter. Mitsunari then launches the boulders at his enemies. - D Grade - 100ft Range, 15ft Diameter, 5 target Maximum - 2 Post Cooldown

Aftermath
​

As Mitsunari's spells went off, wood and metal soared into the air. Mitsunari came along on his way looking to find a smith; little did many know that he would come to the village of Nan Pass. With the smith knocked out and the town slowly being engulfed in flames. Instead of chasing the monsters and the kitsune, many soldiers quickly shifted their focus to putting out the fires raging through the town. All the while, Mitsunari and his companion had escaped into the night. Many of the villagers that went missing during the attack were deemed dead including the smiths that were kidnapped, since no one really saw what happened to Totoro.

However, Takano's face was revealed during the attack, and many people are circulating posters of the man, trying to hunt him down for the attack. Believing that he was the reason that the attack had happened. Many of the towns folk are now injured and many of them fell during the attack as the monsters assaulted the village. Needless to say outsiders who come to the village now are much more scrutinized than before.

(Hope you had fun in this short excursion!)
