   Location: Varies
Several months ago, villages were introduced to 'abominations' (demons) on a wide scale for the first time. The demon army was massive. The villages came together to fight them. Because of that history's path was forever and irreversibly changed from the future realm course breaking it into an alternate reality. The village heads found out about the state of the future and feared for the worst. They convened and knew that steps had to be made to make a brighter future and avoid spiritual infestation. Since Saichuushigai city was the largest among the great villages, they were labeled at the central village of this alignment. Saicity, Veneza, Nidalis, Caotang and Tara Mura create the alliance. Shima remains neutral and secluded. Hejar refuses the alliance offer.

   Location: Saichuushigai Village
In his study, the High Priest of Saichuushigai known as Treshin comes across a hidden scroll. The scroll appeared to be from Merkus. It prophesizes the next upcoming conflict (among other things). Treshin shared this knowledge with the village leader, Gen Sai, who co-assign him the task of preparing for the conflict. From that day, Treshin worked with this priests and priestesses tirelessly to prepare for an upcoming battle. He sent one of their most skilled village priestesses to the kingdom of the mystic creatures to seek their help.
--
High Priest Treshin prays in his chambers. The form of Merkus appears in front of him. Treshin opens his eyes and is surprised. Merkus's robes are so white and shiny that it is hard to look at him directly. Treshin shields his eyes and speaks.

"...Merkus! You're here?"

"High Priest, it is nice to be able to speak to you... even while in this form."

"You have been gone for so long... I received your prophecy."

"I am no more and can no longer assist you. But, the time for a portion of that prophecy has come."

"Kami-sama... the future is not as bleak as you prophesize... is it?"

"Work hard to prevent that future... this land must be purged of spirits. You must warn the other villages of The Conquaders of Abomination. Already this land is greatly tainted. There are 4 great Demon Kings that influence this land the most. One leads the demon army from before. It still exists to the south, but three of the Demon Kings cloak themselves as rulers in Mandira and Domenance."

"I feared we would not see the last of the demon army... But... those other lands you mentioned have shown no signs of hostility... they trade openly with many of the villages of the land."

"Be careful..."

The image of Merkus vanishes.

--

In response to Merkus's warning Saichuushigai sends diplomatic envoys to Domenance and Mandira to set up a meeting with their leaders. The envoys never reach either location. After that, merchants and travelers from the villages to Domenance or Mandira are attacked and killed. A messenger was able to return with a message before he died.

"We were... attacked by demons... they say, they were from the Domenance-Mandira alliance..."

In the following weeks, undead knights sacked neighboring villages. They cut off the trade route between Saichuushigai and Tara Mura and hail banners from Domenance, Mandira, and the Nation of Marcos. Men, women and children are stuck down in the field. It's almost just like back the attack from many months back. At the same time, there are reports to Domenance and Mandira that their civilians and merchants are being attacked by the aligned village. Unconfirmed information is planted to Mandiran and Domenance operatives that the Saichuushigai alliance is planning to strike at them.

- current -

   Location: Main Villages
Each major village is reacting to the recent attacks of the Undead Knights. Saicity, Veneza, Nidalis, Caotang and Tara Mura call out for able bodied recruits. They look for blacksmiths, fighters, healers and anyone who will lend help. The village elder calls for a special group to join a Knight Scouting party to lead in accessing the situation.

   Location: Mandira (morning)
A bright light flashes in the Mandira sky (not bright enough to draw attention to it). A cloaked spirit floats in the sky. He has the spirit signature of a normal spirit. He doesn't do anything yet.

I pulled a large stack of lumber from the pile and reorganized it. There was sweat at my brow, and with it a light bit of exhaustion from the daily work I had done. Unlike most other rulers, I believed in sharing the load with my people, thus earning their trust completely. The second division captain had come from behind the building with his other four soldiers. While we only have a small group of close to fifty warriors, they were fully capable of doing their job without trouble. It had become much more difficult for traders, especially now that we were getting mixed in with other territories. I had, in return, sent our soldiers to guard the roads leading to the village. A small group of traders had been escorted to the village, which in turn caused them to get my attention. Looking across at the residential area, I smiled at the progress that had been made before moving over to meet with the traders. They had been given water and a place to rest for their travels. I had not had a shipment in days, and was rather curious to why. Taking a goblet of water, I moved towards the center tables where the traders had been resting. Smiled and open greetings would ring before I sat and began discussions with them. The information given would be something that I did not believe in one bit. Mandira? Attacking the other cities? I had this area pretty covered, and their leader was a close friend of mine. Same for Domenance. Neither of these people would ever do such a thing. I knew Domen would defend his territory if provoked, but not before hand.
“rest here as long as you wish...”
I would need to head over to Mandira and see if Khroda had any idea what was going on. Maybe he had an explanation, or some excuse for these accusations. Lifting off from the ground, I would head south towards the island and Mandira..

It had been quite a tiresome effort to bring about an alliance with other people to fight against this oncoming evil. She was currently within the Temple of Light and down upon her knees in the main prayer hall as she had her hands brought up in front of her with her eyes closed. She was praying very hard to a good outcome to come out of whatever evil it is. "Oh great Watchers..." she started. "Please watch over us and keep your kind gaze. We are doing our best to prevent this evil, we are doing as what Merkus has asked of us to do. I worked hard these past months getting everything that was asked of me." She remembered of the thing's that she had to do in the past, where she was given a new ability to speak with the mystic animals and gain their alliance and then having to head to the cove and meet with the Great Merkus and finally getting the aid of a fallen Angel and his allies.

She had hoped he held his word to obtain help from his allies and for him to also come to their aid as well. Many were being moved about and constantly changing station's preparing for the upcoming war. She herself had to be ready as well, she was going to have to be there for her people, to assist then and keep them safe. This anticipation of what is to come built up within her. She finished her praying and headed out to the stable to speak with her horse Epona.

After all, the venture to Onitoshi had proved fruitless. I had found no indicator that the demons of the Pillars were located there, and with the possibility of existing in one of several realm and dimensions thrown into the mix, I felt it may be better if I allowed the Ice Demon to find me instead of me looking for him. In hindsight, I felt it was silly for me to have obliged the chaotic impulses of the Lightning Tiger, though with the combat involved in the venture, to me, it was a bit of a vacation.

Morning had come to the land of Domenance and the sun basked the terrain in her radiance. I was located within the confined of the underground palace, a structure much like any manor, only with several feet of earth covering the top over the ceiling instead of air. A red robe with gold trimmings covers my form as I stand at the outlook glass doorway situated on the face of the cliff out looking the seas. My gaze is across the ocean as I take in its tranquility. I think on several things as I have that moment to myself; Paco had informed me recently of some interesting things going on within my kingdom. I made my mind to journey the areas in question to see what these disturbances may be for myself. Hakim was checking into a rumor about Sai Village taking an offensive stance to us, but word from his contacts had yet to make it in. It seemed as if I would just go for myself and clear up anything needing to be cleared to simplify the issue, even if that meant simply destroying the human settlement of Sai Village myself.

This taking place after meeting with her clansmen of this alternate realm. She proceeded her step's light and gentle. "Well it was rather informative.." she stated toward's her walking companion as she looked toward's her skin, no longer was it looking snakish like before and she had the hood of her cloak lowered. Her hair no longer like snakes, but tremendously longer lavender colored hair. She was rather pleased with what she had learned to do about her appearance that it was more than capable of being hidden if needed. She had her eyes open as she stopped a second standing upon a very large root. "How does it look Seiki?" She asked him as she faced him and pulled off her cloak to show him her appearance. Dressed in a single black dress with purple trimmings, elbow length gloves and thigh high black boots. Her eyes gazed at him as in this form it didn't look that the effects of her gorgyn gaze had worked. Which she was rather pleased about, now she could return home to Jyn and show him that she no longer looked like a demon. Though she knew this was merely a way to hide her gorgyn side of herself. That she could so easily just drop this guise and return back to that hideous form. Even her wings weren't showing either.

A small noise came to volume. "Quark!" Oh yes he had caught up with them, the little creature that she had tamed a while back. Rhapsody, it was a baby dragon, though it looked nothing more than an over grown salamander. Izumi looked to her pet and smiled. "Yes Rhapsody, thank you." she stated with a smile as she looked to Seiki, he must have had a bit of a time getting use to her new pet.

My sleep had been interrupted by the early rising of my lord. But I stayed still in the bed for a few moments as still as the night. After he walks away, a soft sigh escapes my lips. I was home, and it felt like home for the first time since I had slept here. Gently I slip from between the sheets and stretched. My bare feet feel the floor beneath me. Moving about the room, I pulled a silver robe onto my pale body. Raking my fingers through my hair, I combed it back and let it fall around my shoulders. Then softly, I move out into the hall and pad down to the glass outlook. Moving up behind Domen, I look out over the ocean without saying a word.

The ocean was as beautiful as the sunrise. Domen had picked a wonderful spot for his empire to start. At least I was still welcome here, that much had been a relief. Although what was on his mind was rather unknown to me.

Not commenting on meeting the clan for the moment, I walk through the woods with my sensei with my gaze down and a blush burning on my cheeks. I hadn’t expected for my sensei to completely transform into another form, but it was just like her to be extremely hot in a new form when she was already hot in the first place. As she speaks my name, it pulls me out of my thoughts and I answer awkwardly, “hai?!” before deciphering the question that was asked. “Oh…” I manage to get out, “sensei looks very… pretty…” I give the compliment with a bit of a modest chuckle, “a lot better than with the snake hair.” The large overgrown salamander seemed to agree and speaks up on his behalf as well. I rub the back of my neck as I chuckle lightly and continue walking myself. We had accomplished what we originally came here to do; for that I was grateful that everything worked out all right. Still, the cop would be in for a surprise when he saw the new body of his girlfriend. Lucky bastard. I pause in my walking before I turn and ask, “sensei, why don’t we just warp back home? It looks like there’s really no reason to walk around in this forest. I’m not even sure if there’s anything in this realm that I need, except maybe to say bye to the priestess and priest who showed me the way here…” After thinking on that, I ask, “oh yeah sensei, I’ll have to introduce you to them.”

As she approaches from the rear, my head shifts to the side as if sensing her approach. It would seem she was still bare from the night’s rest; I found her body had a way of relaxing me more so than other female humans in this realm. Speaking my will verbally, I announce, “I will venture out into the lands and see firsthand if there is any merit behind the rumors told to me. I may be gone most of the day, so do not expect me; also, do not follow me. You are a burden upon my might.” The words would be harsh, but the intent behind them would not be. After recalling something else, I remember that Kazakura was a well respected priestess among the humans. I knew that each of these villages had a temple of sorts. I could order her to go to the temples and speak with the people there to gather information for me, but I did not know if I wanted to. My gaze shifts back forwards as I make the decision not to issue that order to her; there was no need. I simply remain silence allowing her a chance to verbally accept my expressed will.

That was rather cute of him to respond in such a manner and it only just made a large grin burst upon her face. She enjoyed the compliments as she was rather happy to look well beautiful and human instead of some monstrous entity. Izumi crossed her arms and listened to what he had said making a rather good point about them heading back by simply warping and then making a mention of a need to introduce her to a priest and priestess that showed her the way here. If it was the priest and priestess from Saichuushigai, she had already met them, but she didn't know he was talking about them. Grabbing the cloak and putting it back on as she looked towards the direction of Saichuushigai. "It wouldn't be all that fun if we just simply warped back, walking and moving is all apart of your training!" The gaze in her eyes though seemed distant. "I don't know why though, but something just doesn't feel right." She looked over at Seiki as she crossed her arms, Rhapsody had came up near her legs and waited there next to her. "Something tell's me theres something wrong, so we can head for the nearby village and gather some info before we decide to leave." She gave him a kind smile. "So what village were these priest's and priestess from?" Izumi was a bit curious to know who he was talking about and wanted to give them thanks for helping out Seiki when he was in need of help.

My eyes catch his as he looks back to me and I wait. For some reason silence was comfortable for us. Neither of us spoke much, but I knew that look. He had something to say and when the words came forth, I felt the sting of them as if I had been slapped. I could apologize for following him, I could explain that I was only being helpful. But if he did not know these things by now then he was as dense as he was powerful. Instead of offering any resistance, I could feel my face and feeling of well-being fall. Perhaps I should have stayed in the forest, in seclusion. My gaze slides away from his and focus on a spot on the wall, my head turning slightly. "Yes, master" It slipped out before I had time to curb my tongue. I had never called him that. And I sounded so defeated. It had hurt more than the slap so long ago. An internal wound, that would bleed for awhile to come. I was not a mind reader, so his intent was lost on me. My body began to turn away from him.

---->|Armant stirs in his sleep and upon opening his eyes the first thing he notices is the trees are gone. He sits upright and looks all around him. "Damn you Izuya.... Always porting me places.... Now where am I?" Getting up off the ground Armant checks himself for all of his belongings. All there. Even Izuyas knife. Rubbing the sleep from his eyes, Armant mouth opens wide in a yawn. "I hadn't realized I was so tired" He says jokingly to himself and stumbles out of what he presumed was an alley. All around him were people dressed like he had seen in his history text books. "What the?" Confused Armant scanned for the nearest shop and went into it. Checking all over he didn't see anyone out off character. "This has to be some tourist place." Working up his courage he approaches the man behind the counter. "Sir?" Where is this?" The man gives him an odd look and replies "Sai villiage?" Armant stumbles back from the counter. "Impossible" Armant exclaims knocking over a chair behind him and scrambles out of the building. Back outside people with swords and axes pass by on the street. Armant tried to remember Izuyas last words. "Something about 1000 dollars or 1000 shinnies money is money. That basturd... I dont have any Idea where to get a job."Armant began his way down the street looking for something he might be useful for. Thats when the woman flashed before his eyes again. This time she was silent but as she vanished Armant could feel this pulling sensation like something was calling to him. Following his gut he ventured deeper into Sai villige towards this feeling. |<----

The stable of The Temple of Light was located near the front of the temple off to the left of the buildings plotted land. It wasn't that far of a walk and she walked with such a calm stride. Her eyes gazing toward's the stable as she let out a whistle. "Epona!" she called out, the horse poked her head out from the stable and looked about until it's eyes landed upon Seijin. "Lady Seijin" spoke the horse, in it's own horse language. Seijin had smiled as she herself understood the horse perfectly, heading toward's the horse as she stopped in front of her and placed her hands upon the side of the horses head. "How are you Epona?" Seijin responded back, though her words weren't in a understood language it was in a similar language of the horse. Neigh's and huffs is what would be heard by people who did not have the symbol she had upon her tongue that allowed for her to speak with animals.

Epona had responded back. "I am feeling quite alright, Lady Seijin." Seijin had kept her smile as she kept petting her horse. "I'm glad to hear that Epona." Epona moved her head lightly against the girls hand. "Though not everyone in here seems to be at ease, they seem to hold this sense of being disturbed by something." Seijin listened to what Epona had said and gave a light frown. "Maybe it has something to do with this oncoming evil." Responded Seijin to her horse. The Horse gave a short response. "Maybe."

There was a quick spray of water across my body as I dipped down into the sea between my settlement, and the source of it. Mandira, home of the other “Yaksa”, was within sight by the time I pulled myself up and into the air. Within a few minutes, the blue water would disappear from below me, leaving me with a yellow sand line and a green backdrop. Thankfully, the city I was heading for was at the north where I was closest. The flight was one I had taken on before, and I knew it all too well. Upon nearing the village, I would split for the ground, sliding to a stop in the center of the village. For those around, they would all probably recognize me. After all, I was the lightning Yaksa. Stretching with a bit of urgency, I would direct myself over towards the command outpost. I had questions for the other spirit, and a lot of things to clear up. If he was the one attacking people on the roads, then we would have some words, and there might be some decent damage to the area. Taking a deep breath, I would flex lightly before getting my head together. I had to be ready for anything, including a fire fight right now. Stepping up to the entrance, I would open my lips and give a shout.
“Yaksa!!!!”

It is has not been long since I have returned myself to whole with the help of the Purifier. Memories return all too slowly for my liking. Still, I am pleased that they are returning. One indescribably beneficial side effects of the Krodha Transa is that it keeps me in a state of being where I am able to channel my anger and rage at such things as news that my trade routes heading to the mainland villages have been being attacked and raided. What bothers me even further is that I am told that it is mortal humans who are attacking my shipments.

To take the matter even further still, rumors have been spread that I and some other territory known as Domenance have been attacking the people of the villages. The reports brought back from my maidens give mention of some demon army in the south, west of Hejar. I have heard rumors since I first came here, but I have never encountered them. I am trying to honor the wishes of my people and maintain peace and bonds with the mortals, but if they wish to attack my forces, then I will respond in kind. Only, I will not stop until I obtain total victory and domination of this alliance they are supposedly forming against me. I am surprised and also insulted that Caotang would join such. They think I would give them their magic well back only to attack them? And it is my most sincere wish that Tara Mura raises no arms against us as our trade pact has brought prosperity to both of our lands.

If the villages wish to attack me, then I will meet them on the battlefield. Adrian is left in command of the Outpost while a transfer has begun to the newly restored capital city of Taja Mandira on my island, which I recently learned was called Prakasa, or beacon, by my people. I am meditating to prepare for the battle that is coming. My armies are being readied as well in their respective locations. Serani awaits me in Wattu Village along with three companies of warriors.

Suddenly, I sense a foreign spiritual presence in the area that brings me out of my meditation. I dash to my balcony and look around trying to find the spirit, but instead I notice Sanzon's arrival. I can sense something other than him, but I figure it is just my powers reacting weirdly. Looking down at Sanzon, I reply, "I told you not to call me that anymore. I guess word of the mortals' audacity has reached you as well. Have you a diplomatic solution for this b/c I will not tolerate my merchants and traders and innocent civilians who just want to travel and see the world to be attacked and killed. I will retaliate if this annoyance does not cease!"

Damn it.. I thought i told him to not read my mind several times. I had not heard word of these events until traders finally made it up to my land. The fact that this evil was spreading all the way to my northern settlement was a bad sign, and I was not going to take it lightly. Thankfully, he had already told me what I wished to hear. there was something else out there, and I had an interesting idea on how to handle this. I had already asked him for aid with a great evil, and this was probably it. With that in mind, there wasn't much to do cept go kick its ass. That was something that I could do. I had not reached Domenance yet, but I figured he was in the same boat as the others. I could personally vouch for both of them to the priestess. The only real way to take care of things right now was to march to the great city with them, and help them out. An isolationist policy would prove nothing, and until we all met and discussed these events, we would be unable to come to a conclusion on the source of this evil.

"Then name your name brother, we have little time for leisure, although I will be helping myself to a certain bath house.. I bring iron diplomacy, and request a meeting with you and your military advisors."

"Help protect our homelands from the demons!"

I would not turn around as she speaks in the dejected tone and begins to turn to away from me. My gaze is kept forward as I embrace my thoughts at the moment. I wondered about how I felt for her; it annoyed me that she put herself in harm’s way needlessly on my behalf. I did not believe her stupid enough to think she could actually do anything or be of assistance; she knew well of my might. Her coming back to me solidified my acceptance that the women was in sincerely love with me and that made her that much more dangerous. If it were trickery or deception, it would be easy to deal with and ignore; the dealing with genuine feelings would be a slippery slope for someone such as I who discarded human weaknesses such as emotions. I was let off of the hook when she vanished, not having to deal with complicated thoughts about the relationship between us. In the time she was gone, I was easily able to assert to myself the fact that her existence did indeed mean nothing much like many humans of this world. Still, it left me to wonder if I degraded in strength to the point where I could actually fathom loving another being. I did know that if something were to happen with her, there was a good chance that it would make me extremely angry, and until now, I continued to accept ignorance to the reasoning behind that.

The crimson and gold robes adorning my body cover me completely in my physical attire and I step forwards, opening the glass doorway and stepping out into the nothingness elevated above the cliff side sea’s edge. “I’m going,” I announce before my body lifts up and I fly away from the cliff face, shifting in the air after rising over the altitude of the main land before ascending into the skies in the direction of area between Domenance and Sai Village.

Back inside the subterranean sea side palace, a cheerful voice would ring out near Kazakura. “A lovers quell so early in the morning?” Paco would tease while flying from one of the corners of the room. Crossing his arms, not feeling the atmosphere at all, he continues to tease, “so you finally called the master ‘master?’ I’m surprised you were able to go on this long without doing so.”

“Oh,” I mention continuing to watch her movements, “I think it’s the main one. It was the really big village in the middle that’s supposed to become SaiCity in the future. I forgot what the priestess’s name was; I think it started with an S or something, but apparently she was a big deal around there. The priest guy that helped me was an old guy with white hair. I think he was the head priest or something like that… he looked like he was pretty smart to, but they were both pretty nice.” My grin fades as I inquire, “but if something feels wrong, I’m sure he’ll know about it. I think he has a crystal ball or something… but if not, I know he has a ton of books.” I didn’t really go through the rationale between someone knowing something current mixed in with the inclusion of books, but I went on the simple fact that if someone had a lot of books, then they probably knew a lot of stuff. I had seen enough forest to last me for a little while; I was starting to have flashbacks about the time we were actually stuck in the past. I offer, I can probably portal us into his room… though that might get us attacked or something. People are weird about their privacy…” I chuckle, “or we might catch him jacking off or something...”

Dressed oddly as compared to normal, Izuya sits in a blank kimono with one leg crossed over the other, leaning back in a restaurant stall with a book held before his face, reading it. The waitress approaches, speaking, “will you be having the usual today?” Izuya looks up from his book and smiles answering, “yes, thank you.” She inquires, “what type of scroll is that you’re reading?” Izuya looks at the book and then to her, “it’s a foreign type; I had to trade quite a bit for it. It says that it contains the secrets of the universe within its very pages.” The woman holds the tray up to her chest as she admits, “that sounds very complicated.” Izuya agrees, “yes, it is.” She returns his smile and bows slightly stating, “I’ll bring your food right away.” As she skips off, Izuya returns his attention to his book entitled ‘War of the Lands: Erotic Side Stories,’ chuckling lightly, “how amusing, who would have thought a man as powerful as Zasyn would like younger men…”

Eventually the yelling of the males in the center of the city as well as the blacksmith’s pounding rise to a level where they distract Izuya from his reading. “Really,” he sighs as he puts away the book within his garments, “I come here to relax and they’re buzzing like bees… I don’t remember reading about this war in history… more importantly I wonder if Armant found any money yet, or if Kuna-kun wants to punch me for sending him to the past.” A wicked smile comes to his face, but it vanishes interrupted by the young lady as she returns with, “here is your breakfast, Izuya-sama.” He smiles innocently speaking, “thank you, dear. It looks delicious.”

The day had been relatively normal as normal as it could be for Kuna who was from the future, and had been reduced to hiding amongst the locals as a woman. He had managed to at least make himself passably looking female, and he had even gotten a temporary job as a waitress. It was looking as if some form of normalcy was settling back down into his life when he saw him again, Izuya sitting there reading some scroll or another, but that hardly registered while he resisted the urge to take that one good punch at him. He kept himself in check and managed the falsetto in his voice quite admirably enough, so that Izuya was not aware of who he actually was. He would take the order without further incident and deliver the order to the cook.

Kuna had been hearing about the preparations for war that had pushed the entire village to life day and night, but he didn't want to get involved with anything that might happen here since he didn't know if it would influence the future, his present. He would return to Izuya's table carrying the piping hot breakfast...and promptly dumped the breakfast into his lap. "Please enjoy it. Izuya-sama." He would say letting the falsetto go and replacing it with deadpan snark "Do you want coffee with that?"

Location: Sai Village, Breakfast Cafe

The covert operations including cross dressing goes as planned and the piping hot breakfast stains the clothing of the Izuya that was seated at the table. Initially, Izuya’s acting was impeccable as he was able to hide his excitement of finding the one whom he banished to this realm; another one of his friends as to speak. During his time with Kuna the previous day, Izuya had plenty of time to spiritually feel him up and get a sense of his spiritual signature within his altered space. Among the possible thoughts of action after originally sensing that this individual was indeed Kuna, was to sneak up and place a firm hand the waitress’s buttocks and surprise him/her from behind and thus foiling the plan. With Izuya’s particular set of skills, such a thing could easily be done… though where would the fun in that be? He would firmly hold his hand over his cards, as to not let them show. Smoke and mirrors only went so far.

Of course Izuya felt the warmth build up about his loins thanks to Kuna. Kuna-kun… or –chan depending on how you looked at him at this particular moment, did a good job in making Izuya hot and moist down there… something odd for a male, but true nonetheless. A faux blush comes to Izuya’s cheeks as he simply smiles, seemingly masochistically delighted, without even looking down at the breakfast on his lap. The visual of Kuna in a waitress skirt and apron was something much more interesting than a wasted breakfast. “Yes. How nice it is that you found work in such a short span of time!” Izuya greets with a chirp looking lewdly over Kuna’s perhaps hostile, yet oddly alluring form with glee, “this look suits you vastly greater than your male form.” With a sly grin, his gaze shifts down to the crease between the skirt, apron and Kuna’s upper thighs... where the view of underwear would be tauntingly out of visual reach as he questions, “is you know what there?”

"Yes....work." Kuna exhaled those words with such disgust that he had a remission and almost tried strangling Izuya, but he once again held back his homicidal tendencies. "I am keeping that area firmly a male zone, so no none of that lecherous shit that is probably going through that mind of yours as we speak." He would say as he turned around towards the other people who were looking at both of them as if they were mad. The blond hardly cared about the spectacle that the two of them were putting on, and he soon enough turned his attention back too Izuya. "I should have poured it over your head; maybe, that would cool you down. You've got some explaining to do, and don't talk about payment. I'm not in the mood." He said with a sniff before sitting across from Izuya.

Izuya rests his elbows on the table and gazes up intently as this new Kuna-kun showed another side of himself. He came to the conclusion that he must have found a way to hit a button somewhere; still abandoning people in alternate realities seemed to be a biggie amongst people. Still, the fact that Kuna-kun had a penis seemed to be a bit of a letdown in the Izuya’s eyes; as if him being a male was no fun at all. During Kuna’s talking, Izuya would be murmuring, almost humming, to himself. As noted by the blond they did seem to draw together quite a crowd of on lookers, but luckily, much of the attention would be on Kuna when he turned around to notice them. Though, it wasn’t as if Izuya cared about the consequences of his actions, especially in an alternate realm. As such, by the time Kuna turned back around to Izuya and well past the time, he would start sitting, Izuya would be long gone, leaving not even a blinking outline of where he had been sitting much less any hints of the direction he went. The fact that the village was unusually crowded only made things better.

Coming out of the cloak of invisibility into his spirit form, Izuya casually walks down a side alley with his hands folded in the sleeves of his kimono as he sighs, “He seemed a little upset…” The forlorn look shifts into a grin as his head cocks back, looking to the skies, as he comments, “I’ll give the cutie pie some time to cool off... I wonder what type of expression he’s holding now!...” Looking down, he comments, “more importantly, I may need to change clothes…”

I remark in a somber tone before looking up at the sky, " I still don't know what my name is. O fall the memories, I can seem to get that one to return." My attention turns inside but stop again on a particular point in the air. I know there is something there. I can sense it, but I can't see it. Whatever "it" is. I turn to head back inside of the Command Center where my military officers are already gathering upon hearing the recent news that the mortals wish to attack Mandira. "I do not wish to harm the mortals, Sanzon." Our path would continue to head inside the Command Center from my balcony and the main entrance, respectively.

My path is delayed a bit as a shadowy figure "arrives" in the corner and a male voice speaks, "Komutani, there is supposedly a force heading to attack the southern territory of Domenance. Nodding my head, I instruct him, I will teleport you to Hejar. From there, find and go to this Domenance. Offer our aid in helping to subdue the mortals." The shadow nods and I look over at the shadows, "The old me would have wanted to draw them out, so that I could crush their forces in open combat leaving them susceptible to a crushing and sweeping conquest of those who provoked this conflict." I turn my attention towards another shadow. He speaks, "I am here my Master." I extend my hand to the first shadow and teleport him to Hejar. The second shadow is given his orders as well. "You are to travel to Hejar and ask Malloc at the Desert Beetle about what he has heard about all of these events as well as Hejar's stance." I am hopeful that Hejar will not forget our friendship or the deeds that I have done for their village.

As I make it downstairs, I run into one of the Trade Ambassador, one of Settozai's trained merchants. Knowing that there is one primary location that I need to find out answers from. The Trade Ambassador to Tara Mura is sent to Tara Mura to find out where Tara Mura's leadership stands. If Tara Mura plans to betray my benevolence and loyalty to them as well as the mercantile friendship we have built, then I will have no choice. For no other option but to neutralize them first will suffice as a reprisal. I truly hope it does not come to such a thing though. I look around the area for Snazon to head into the War Room.

As he spoke, I turned my back to him and answered, not sure that he would hear me. "Be safe" It was a strange thing to be hurt and still feel concerned. But then again, I was in a strange situation as it was. As he took off, I began to walk back into our room only to hear the fairy. I continue to walk, feeling a bit off at the moment and not very talkative. "Good morning, Paco." It was just too much and made me want to crawl back into bed. Then his words registered and I shook my head. "Yes, Paco. I called him master." With those words I found myself crawling back into the bed and instinctively searching out the warmth that was left from his body. There I curled up and hid from the world.

OOC: ok guys. I'll be back in a few days. But I'm not out of the running.

It shouldn't have surprised him really that Izuya had upped and disappeared like that, leaving him in quite the awkward position. It was still infuriating though, but he just wadded it all down into a small bouncing ball of homicidal tendencies which he would gladly unleash upon Izuya. He would calmly get up out of the chair and quite calmly head towards the kitchen to finish up any orders before going out and trying to hunt Izuya down.

What? I never really understood what was going through that spirits head when he started talking and rambling about. Maybe he was still recovering from our little trip to the ruins. Shaking my head, I would float in towards the center of the building before meeting him as he came down the stairs. there were a few problems that I had with what he may have normally done, and right now he would need me for diplomatic relations. After all, there wasn't many who could talk their way out of a problem like I could, and defend them in a firefight if things went south. I was confident that the other nations would be fine if they came with me as well. The traders allegations were going to be taken seriously, and I wanted to clear them up before making a march towards the human land. After all, if this great evil was coming, I had already agreed to assist the humans, with the help of this spirit. There were dark times approaching, I could feel it in my gut.
“Spirit, we have a problem to discuss. Remember that dark evil I spoke of, with the priestess from the high city?”

Nodding to Sanzon, I confirm that I know what he is talking about. He had some encounter with a priestess from the landlocked island of Shima. I hadn't actually put much stock in all his talk about a great evil and even now I can't say that I believe anything as it currently stands. Are problems forming? Sure, but Imorte and his band of powerful demons were far worse than foolish humans. I respond with the obvious question, "What do you wish to discuss and what does it have to do with your great evil story?" I can start to feel a slight headache coming on though I am trying to control this annoyance.

While we are talking, Adrian has the Mandiran Council gathered together and is discussing the complications with moving to attack the mainland villages while trying to relocate to Taja Mandira, the new Capital. Adrian keeps the Council focused on coming up with solutions while they await my arrival at the meeting. This is the beginning for him. He is maintaining the flow of the Council meeting in my stead and soon he will be able to hold the meeting without me.

It wasn’t just a simple matter of dealing with humans right now, there were stories of undead and demons. If the spiritual beings from our future time were interfering back here, then we would have a serious problem. I would not be turning down an opportunity to go after that ice demon again. I would enter right behind the other spirit while he spoke of the great evil. It would be great if he could stop reading my mind and let me speak before finishing my mental conversations with myself.
“if you read my mind one more time, Im going to bolt your ass.. Mental privacy there chief, give me a break. The traders spoke of undead and demons that were attacking. The priestess knows I will be returning with two allies, brothers of mine. Merkus apparently called upon me as an ally. If you and your army show up with me, they will be able to quell all of these rumors without too much difficulty.”

I can't help but chuckle at Sanzon's outburst. "Wow, my powers are growing quite a bit if I can read your thoughts without reading your thoughts. If you speak out loud in the form of a question, that doesn't really count as reading your thoughts." I say teasingly before I continue with the teasing, "Also, your lightning is far from an ample threat against me. I enjoy the feeling after all. Still trying to figure out why." My teasing stops as he confuses me now for a second. What the hell is he talking about? I decide to inquire and find out as I speak, "And what traders talking about undead and demons? Stay focused, Sanzon. We are about to enter a meeting with my Council to address how to retaliate against those arrogant mortals on the mainland who have dared to attack my merchant convoys and murdered my people. Seeing as I have not provoked such action, I see this as a foolish declaration of war by the mortals against me and I have been lopped in with the territory in the southeast called Dominance. Nice name I must admit. I sent an envoy to find this place and their leader. I figure if we have a common enemy, it would be advantageous to aid each other in this matter. I am unsure of why they are targeting that territory though." I pause for a moment when he mentions Merkus. "Sanzon, my people hold a great respect for Master Merkus, so jesting about him is not a good idea, my friend. Also, if my army shows up with me on the mainland, there will be no avoiding war as that is a clear act of aggression. At the same time, I will not walk into a trap unless it is for the more dire of reasons." We remain outside of the meeting so that Sanzon can unconfuse himself.

The thought of the recent occurrence that had occurred with the diplomatic enjoy's and even the attacks upon the merchants. That one messenger that had returned in such an injury. Seijin held a frown to her face as the memory of the man's blood pouring from his wounds as he came to tell them of a message that they were attacked by demons that hailed from the Domenance-Mandira alliance. The one main thought that came to her mind was that vile demon who defiled her dear High Priestess Kazakura. Then another thought had crossed her mind as she gently petted her horse Epona. "Would High Priestess Kazakura allow such a thing to occur? Even she would be intelligent enough to send out a message..." She refused to believe that Kazakura was killed, she was too strong for that. She looked up to her, like an older sister and over estimated her abilities quite a lot as she has always pulled through. Though with that demon, Domen, a bothered look came upon her face.

All this seemed wrong, nothing seemed to fit correctly in place. "Epona... this is quite bothersome." She looked over toward's the other priestesses as she saw them bustling about. Seijin knew she had thing's to do in the temple, but she couldn't see that as something important at the moment. The sound's of bell's ringing had startled Seijin to look toward's the entrance of the temple. "Already?" Seijin remembered about the location of where that place was being built. The one that contained Kazakura.

She looked to her horse and petted her on the head. "I shall return, I am going to head east for a bit to see what is going on." The horse gazed at her. "You shouldn't!" Seijin retorted. "I am the best bet to gather information, unlike everyone else I am capable of taking flight and can keep rather high off the ground from being seen. I promise you, I shall return."

She stepped back and with a firm look she chanted. "Oh Holy Merkus, grants me the mobility to soar without wings!" A surge of energy erupted from her and wind blasted softly as a breeze from around her as she lifted off the ground. Rising higher and higher she went, wisp, and as soon as she rose up high enough to see the village entirely, she headed immediately toward's the area between Domenance and Saichuushigai.

She looked back at him and placed her hands upon her hips as she still held a smirk. Listening to him explain about who he was talking about, sound's about right though, a vague explanation nothing all that specific. It would have been a surprised if he had remembered it perfectly as she snickered to herself as her own evil little insults she stated mentally about him. Though she didn't say it out loud, it was still meant in good teasing fun. Though that last little comment he mentioned about peoples privacy she remembered about the time he walked in on her and Jyn. Her eyes sharpened to daggers as she glared at him. "You have to work on that you know. It's not just portaling into a person's private room, but even when walking into a room, you usually knock first!" She turned away from him and began to walk. "Come on Rhapsody!" The little salamander baby dragon lifted it's head a moment and made a noise "quaaark!" and followed after Izumi, slithering along the ground, it's little feet padding against the ground as it maneuvered quite effectively to keep up with her.

"I know who your speaking about! I met them when we were trapped here long time ago, Seijin Senkensha and High Priest Treshin, quite the nice kind of folks you'll meet." She raised her arm with a finger pointed up, not meaning for him to look but just stating a sort of 'better listen to me' kind of thing. "Now then, Let's head to old time Sai City, quick history lesson, it's old name is Saichuushigai." Izumi held a smirk feeling a bit of random confidence just swelling within her. "Let's go give them our thanks, it's always good to be polite, you never know if someone will return the favor."

I stopped moving for a moment to clear my head and gather my thoughts. What was this strange feeling? I would swallow it for a second before lining everything up. There was a far greater problem right now, and that was exactly what he said. Going to war with the humans was the problem. If there were mortals attacking his trade routes, and demons attacking the other, then there had to be one simple conclusion..

"you are exactly correct.. there are humans attacking your trade routes, and demons attacking theirs posing as yours and of those from Domenance. the humans know I am their ally, and if you are with me, you are considered the same. The only way to get to the bottom of this is to move forward. They will not be foolish enough to declare open war on seeing you there, without having a consulate. "

I would take a few breaths to think about him enjoying my lightning, and commenting on Merkus. Yes, Merkus was the first fallen, the one who basically invented religion down here. If he had some divine will, then it would be showing soon I assumed..

"When I returned to this realm, a priestess from the high temple was waiting for me. She told me that a scroll from Merkus told her to seek out an angel at the cove, and I appeared. She asked me for aid, and I told her myself, and two others would come to their aid when the darkness came. I believe that this is the darkness, a force prying us apart in an attempt to create hostile relations between spirits and humans... tell me it's not crazy..."

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-[ Armant ]-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

---->|Eventually Armant got tired of all the odd looks and pocketed himself a hooded cloak from a load of laundry out to dry. Feeling much better hidden under its hood Armant preceeded to feel out this sensation. Something was calling to him but what? Armant had no idea where he was headed or even how he was going to get some money. Around him the houses began to thin a bit and he notices the feeling is getting stronger. "Im getting closer..." Now anxious he picks up his pace. The pull leads him left down an alley which suprizingly opens to small quartyard. What was odd was that the only way in or out was this alley. Before him was a statue of a woman holding a bow. The pull was so intense now that Armant knew this was its source but why? Armant approached the statue. There were engravings upon its base and now that he was closer he realized the woman was leaning on the bow rather than holding it. "Shes beautiful." Then it dawns on him. "The woman in my visions!!!" Armant kneels down to read the engravings. "To Our Mother, Artemis, We Send Our Blessed Companions. Please Watch and Take Care of Them. They Will Forever Remain In Our Hearts." Armant looks back up to the womans face "Artemis..." he says out loud to himself. Below there was more writting. This engraving was smaller. "-Gwen Devereaux" Upon reading the name Armant falls on his ass in shock. "Devereaux... could it be? My ancestors?" Armant stands back up and begins pacing and thinking out loud. "Maybe not... I mean many people share last names and arnt related. I dont even know if this is my last name or just one the orphanage gave me. On this is sure though. This is a memorial. I need to find this Gwen. Maybe I should start with this Artemis lady. Afterall shes the one who led me here. Damn it more work to do that I havent the faintest clue where to start." Armant stares to the statue one more time and allows it to be burned into his memory. "I was led here for some reason and I intend to get to find out why." He throws his hood back up and turns, retreating back into the alley. As he exits he nearly bumps into a group of men all ranting on about some war. Armant steps into pace behind them. He manages to eavesdrop enough to here a key piece. "Offering money for fighters." "That solves the money issue" Armant allows himself a smile and follows the men.|<----

Marcos stands about 5 stories in the air with his large bastard sword drawn. The ground smokes and smolders under him. It is littered with corpse bodies. Tiamat sits in a lawnchair (from the future) with wearing sunglasses. She is in a bikini but a white summer kimono is unwrapped on the chair under her. She holds a sun reflector at her neck (working on her tan). Tia teases Marcos.

"What's wrong, Pookie?"

Marcos turns and looks to where Tiamat was lounging... away from the battle area. He did not look happy.

"Woman, you know damn well what's wrong! That man... came into my camp, showed disrespect, TOUCHED ME, and fled from battle saying he would be here."

He looks around and slashes his sword.

"Where is this man? All I've seen were clones of my Samurai Army. To think he has the same ability to summon an army."

Tiamat adjusts the sun reflector.

"He's the one from the Dark Tournament, no? I'm sure he'll pop up. But because of this, she's on her way now."

"Tsk... as if I care."

Tiamat looks south and raises a brow.

"Someone big is coming... maybe it's him?"

The cloaked figure vanishes out of the sky. He appears on the ground in Mandira. He happens to land next to a lone guard. Before the guard can react, he grabs him by the face. His body and appearance changes. He becomes a cloned version of the guard. The guard vanishes after the transformation is complete. He strolls towards the Command Center.

Izuya finds himself stepping out of a small clothing shop with a new change of clothing. Instead of a kimono, he sported a white yukata with blue floral prints where as the bottom portion would be navy. On his feet would be a pair of tan straw tabi, but this ensemble would go without a hat; that would be just too cliché. A young lady in a stylish kimono would bow behind him as he walked out, thanking him for his purchase. Turning, he gives a kind smile and thanks her in return before walking off.

“Much better,” he comments to himself while folding his hands into his sleeves while walking. He rubs his chin thinking, “maybe I should have gotten the hat…” His hand lowers as he shrugs, “well, it doesn’t matter; this city is far too large for us to bump into one another again for a while…” Something catches his attention as he looks up as if suddenly alert. Looking to the side, he sees a progression of soldiers heading who knows where. A smile comes to his lips as he phases into his spiritual form.

Izuya appears, walking beside Armant as he walks alongside the soldiers. “Yo!” he chirps in greeting, “you look like you’re integrating into the past society well!”

The Past Can[not] Escape The Future - Phase I

“Hai sensei!” comes the response as I was glad that we would be able to move onto something than wandering about the forest. At least the village would have more to look at and food; as previously mentioned, I was a bit tired of trees. With the order given, I would promptly place my palms out before my body and close my eyes lowering my head. Calling upon the blessings of the spatial void, I create a rift in time and space creating a sparkling and glowing column of light that tied to the outskirts of the city. I didn’t want to portal directly into the city for free that it would freak out those within. With that, I turn and nod, giving my sensei the go ahead to enter into the portal and after she entered I would go in myself. After that, the column of light would vanish and things would return to as if we were never there.

After the portal opened on the other end, I would step out of it and look out towards the city. I would be attentive if my sensei had anything in particular to say to me, otherwise, my footsteps would merrily be heading towards the city with the smell of the fresh breads and morning meats already in the air and reaching my nose. It takes a moment, but I remind myself that we were going to the temple first, but after that, breakfast would definitely be next. That was, of course, if the temple didn’t already have some special breakfast set up prepared already.

My body glides through the air with the greatest of ease with my body slightly elevated in an upwards diagonal position with my energy trailing behind me. The lands that belonged to me fade away and give way to lands outside my domain as ground is covered and the distance between me and my destination is cut. Due to a lack of the sensing package, I do not feel the entities that I am approaching near the half way point, but I do notice smoke trailing from the land and signs that a battle may have occurred. As I get closer, the scene becomes clearer and more evident as dead bodies come into view across a ravaged terrain. My gaze comes upon one who is floating within the skies over this scene and another on the ground; both recognizable figures from the future realm. This would be among my first times actually seeing them in the past.

My body immediately comes to a halt within 25 yards of the duo as I hover in the air with my arms folded. My thoughts run along the lines of ‘so… they have come here to run amok as well.’ This was still convenient; I had recently journeyed into hell in order to find traces of their group, or rather one demon in particular, and here they just happened to be in my path. The current events started to make sense to me as I realized if they were here, there would be an explanation to the growth of chaos out of nothingness. “Foolish children,” I condemn, “so it has been you who toyed with the routes of my nation? You would be wise to plead for your lives. My mercy will only be shown to you if you give me the location of the Ice Demon.”

Listening to Sanzon, I smile at him, but the fact that he seems rather worked up gives me some cause for alarm. "Ok, so what you're saying is that there are humans attacking Mandiran merchants and the territory of Domenance. I have heard of no one else being attacked along these parts, so they know that these merchant convoys belong to us. The first question would be how. The next matter would be to send out a shipment with troops on it instead. When they attack the decoy, my soldiers will be able to capture some of them and interrogate them for information. Now the more trouble factor is that apparently there are demons here attacking the humans. How stupid could the humans be? Just because I am a spirit, I automatically am responsible for all other demons in the northeast? Bah!"

I stop talking for a moment as the spiritual signature that I was monitoring had vanished. Shaking my head, I start to think that perhaps my senses are still off target since the ruins. If that is the case and there is some great evil, since I have no reason to think Sanzon has lost it, then I need to get on my A game and QUICKLY. "Sanzon, I need to change Mandira's standard and crest. I would suspect that that would be the easiest means of identification. Also, do you sense another presence that was close b/c now I don't have a lock on them?"

OOC: Sorry for the quick post, but I'm only stopping in at the house for a moment.

I stopped for a moment to look at him. I was rather glad that the thoughts had been organized. Everything was transferred and understood by both of us now. The changing of his banners was an important part of what we needed to do here. This way, the enemy would have false information on the military. Wait.. I had just paraded across the underworld in search of other demons, who had raised an army of soldiers before.. A demon army that could attack humans? I wasn't positive that those pillars could have something to do with it, but they were not back here.. where they? Had Domen and I gone on a Safari in the underworld for no reason? I would shake my thoughts when the other spirit alarmed me of an energy signature disappearing.

"What? I can't tell.. do you believe? If the evil is here, you need to evacuate the civilians right now, this place will be a war zone shortly."

Izumi kinda felt a bit glad that she did come to decide to teach him, even though she herself wasn't a master, but she was still able to teach something. It made her feel good, plus it gave her company if she had to do her family work. It was rare that she did such things, but still company is still nice. Glancing to him as she watched him begin to perform the portal spell. "You're getting better with the portal spell." She stated as she saw how easily it formed this time. Lowering her hands down to her sides she looked to her little pet who stopped next to her and wagged it's rigged tail. "Come now Rhapsody in you go." she stated to the creature who listened to her and headed into the portal that was made and was transported. She looked to Seiki and merely giggled. "It's going to be rather interesting raising a pet dragon." she stated as a comment before she herself entered into the portal that Seiki create and portaled to it's end point.

Arriving to the connecting location of the portal, she noticed they were on the outskirts of the village. Looking to the salamander dragon baby just waiting near a rock, it quickly rushed to Izumi's side and moved about her legs in a happy manner. She would giggle as she carefully stepped around him so that she wouldn't step on him and that she wouldn't be in Seiki's way when he would appear from the portal. Though she did hear the sound's of bell's ringing, though she didn't know what it meant and didn't know what was going on yet. Maybe there was a festival of sorts? Looking to Seiki who finally appeared through the portal. "Sound's like something's going on." A hand lowered down onto her stomach. She pondered some things as she looked back to the village. "I propose food first before anything." A grumble occurred in her stomach as she held a blush and glanced back at him.

She would wisp through the air at quick speed's as of yet she saw nothing. Everything looked normal from how she saw things for several miles. Though something like that didn't occur forever. There was a smell, an awful smell that carried upon the winds and it smelled like something is burning or rather was burning. In the distance she was able to see the change in the terrain. she came to a halt, her eyes widening, she didn't need to be too close, stopping about 40 yards away. She hoped she hasn't been noticed, but the scene before her seeing the terrain matching the dark colors of charcoal and soot. The smell that she was able to smell was coming from the burning smell of burnt corpses. Who had done this? Seijin was mostly shocked as her earthly colored eyes scanned about seeing bodies that still looked to be moving. Two were in the air, the appearance of the two were familiar, she seen one of them from the Dark tournament, the other... She saw in this time, he was the vile demon that troubles High Priestess Kazakura so. There was also another that looked to be lounging. "W-what is this..." she said to herself in shock, this shaking feeling growing within her, her instincts telling her that she should run and now. This was definitely something that Treshin needed to know about. Such destruction was it caused by these three? It was something very difficult for Seijin to believe, but the sight was just horrific, the burned scorched earth and the cooked corpses that lay upon the ground.

---->|Armant was still eavesdropping, trying to get an idea of whats going, when he hears a familiar voice. One he wasn't sure he had gone long enough without hearing just yet. Armant truns to face Izuya, only half his face visible under the hood. The part of his face that is visible shows Izuya just how annoyed he was with him. "You know Ive always wanted a friend... sometimes you make me reconsider." Armants one eye visible shows just how serious the statement was. Armant looks forward again "Im glad you're here though." The men they are following reach the town center. People from all social classes were gathering here. "As far as integrating... Ive found a way to make some money." Armant nods to the line of fighters volunteering to fight. "Theres reward money to those who help." Armant turns to face Izuya "The men were saying that Sai village is on the verge of war. I plan to volunteer, earn my reward, find you and we go back. So you better make yourself findable. I dont plan on being here the rest of my life." Armants words seemed to confirm that he was indeed upset with Izuya. Armant looks over to the volunteer table and back to the Izuya and lets out a sigh. "Im sorry. I know you meant well... Im just annoyed. Why wouldnt a job in Sai city have done? Did we need to come back like a thousand years to what ever time this is." Armant looks around 'Yea.. Im not sure the timeline is correct because I dont remember some of this in history." Armant turns to walk over to the line to sign up but stops and turns back to Izuya first. "Almost forgot. Have you heard the name Artemis before? Perhaps Gwen Devereaux? We share the same last name and I was wondering..." Armants words trail off as if he had said to much. "Well yea thought it was weird she had my last name."|<----

Marcos turns to Domen. Tia lowers her reflector curiously but then smiles.

"Hmph. Isn't he cocky? Hey... he was at the Dark Tournament too, wasn't he? He beat up some weakling there."

Marcos isn't impressed.

"Who cares? I'll kill this guy in like 2 seconds."

Marcos vanishes and appears behind Domen with his huge sword/club pulled behind his back. He slams down with it at full strength. The slash is so hard, it creates a 5 foot shockwave effect with it.

Tia shakes her head.

"But I think he has the wrong idea of who we are. Not that you'd care... men."

Tia notices that Seijin shows up.

"A priestess?"

She sighs.

"It's probably going to get crowded now. Greetings Miko-sama! Are you here because some mysterious guy told you to come here or are you just passing through?"

The guard keeps walking until he gets to the front of the command center. He acts casual and starts to walk to the area where Sanzo and Mukhya are.

Location: Saichuushigai Village

"Hey rookie back there. Stop talking to the air and look alive."

The group of soldiers march to the western edge of the village where the main forces and other volunteers were. There were people sparring with each other and being fitted with armor.

"All halt!"

The group of soldiers come to a halt. A milita captain stands in front of the group of soldiers.

"This is where the main barrack set up will be! Get suited, find an overseer and start training! Even if you're skilled, we can learn something in this short amount of time we have to train with each other!"

He points to a supply tent.

"Go there and recieve your weapons and armor. Dismissed!"

The supply tent would give soldiers a choice of a broadsword, bow and arrow or spear and a shield and light armor (ya you get to keep it).

The frown on my lips strengthens by a degree as they seem to have banter back and forth about my arrival. I wondered for a moment if they heard what I had said. Given the fact that they were members of this Pillars organization, the same as the Ice Demon, I could assume their confident was derived from an amount of power that sought to rival my own. Just by being in this area, I could assume normally that the male was the one who defeated the corpses that were on the ground and that the female had opted to stay out of performing any type of combat. As things would turn out, my life is threatened and I am attacked. Having been in many battles, I would naturally judge that he would either attack from above or from behind. Since he wielded a sword, I knew his attack would come within melee range. Though I had an objective to perform, I felt some of it could be realized by defeating this man here. In response to his disappearance, my stand does not change; I merely flex my spiritual energy (Exert, Fierce pressure). The force of my outward spiritual energy would push against his attack with the intention of denying contact with my body; though if it did manage to hit me, there would be no notable response to the strike (juggernaut) and probably no damage (toughness). My body would shift and turn towards the hopefully pushed back Marcos as my dark crimson broadsword would come into the grip of my right hand, coming about in a chasing slash aimed for the male’s stomach (Sonic Slash, blade extension). There would be no words or questions until he was crouched at my feet in defeat.

The Past Can[not] Escape The Future - Phase I

“Eh?” there is an internal arm pump as I hear the words of my sensei. As expected of my sensei and basically big sister type to be on the same wavelength of me. Our stomachs were connected; perhaps on a spiritual level. In any case, I welcomed the idea of getting something to eat first. “Hai!” I answer cheerfully as I start jogging in the direction of the village, before turning around and walking backwards facing towards her. “The past realm food is so hearty,” I admit, “but their bacon is the best.”

As we make our way into the village, I am able to hear a lot of what was going on. With the sound of people talking, I got the basic gist that the atmosphere was anxious. There was a lot more ‘ting, ting’ing than I was normally used to when here and on top of that, there were a lot more people than the last time I stopped through the village. The military presence was notable as well as the construction of the wall. “I guess we’ve got to go in through the front entrance,” I say noting that last part, “they sure do put up walls fast…” I wondered if there would be any trouble just getting into the city. If there were, then it wouldn’t be a big deal; I figured that we could just warp in somewhere, or something like that.

Izuya holds a wounded visage to Armant’s greeting but his casual smirk returns as normal as the conversation continues. He did seem interested that Armant still was mindful of their objective, though he was partially caught up in the current chaos of the world. Still, he found the current times pretty interested and wanted to know more about it. “A reward, eh?” he mimics with interest as Armant continues; he liked money. “Thank sounds like a good plan,” Izuya admits, “but worry not; our fates are crossed… you cannot escape me.” He says it in an assuring manner, though the undertone was a bit ominous. With his next words, Izuya pushes it off nonchalantly claiming that they were here for the history but had to think on whether he heard anything about an Artemis or Devereaux. Before answering, they are interrupted by a captain, or ranking militia member who advises Armant to stop talking to the air. Giggling slightly, Izuya teases, “you’re new boss is scolding you…” Seeing the opportunity for free stuff, Izuya weights the option of joining the militia only to leave after he’s gotten the goods; he had no interest whatsoever in actually fighting anyone for anything. Still, he figures he could get more stuff if he had someone else with him. With that, he then vanishes.

Something within her was telling her to leave, she looked toward's Marcos and saw how fast he move, well she couldn't exactly 'see' it but just seeing how he just disappeared from sight and reappeared behind Domen. Domen's counter by exerting out his spiritual pressure. It caused her heart to race and her hands to tremble and she floated there. Her eyes shifted down to the skimpily dressed woman who had asked her if someone told her to come here or if she was passing through.

There was this deep setting feeling that she should run, to head back to a place that might have some sort of defense against these three. To hide within the temple, but she didn't really know what to do. She felt herself a bit afraid. Seijin wasn't one that has ever gotten into battle. Her first ever experience of war was the one that had occurred years back when those people from the future had arrived. What should she do? She knew she should head back to the village to give warning, but would these people allow her to leave now that she saw them?

So the question lies how should she respond. From the look of things it doesn't look like the other would be to happy about letting her leave. "I merely came out of a whim to see someone, though I do believe I am interrupting. I should just take my leave." If it was a battle, she knew she couldn't handle it. She's never battled before in her life. She began to float backward's keeping her eyes open upon the three people.

He seemed excited about getting something to eat first and Izumi just giggled and noticed that he jogged ahead. She began to walk at a calm pace with her salamander following next to her. "Oh yes, quite the healthy meal, I haven't really tried their meats." she retorted back to him after he walked back to her. When they got into the village, Izumi grabbed her pet and placed Rhapsody upon her shoulder, seeming like a large scarf for her, the salamander kept still. Hearing the voices and the ting's getting louder. Izumi was quite curious as she glanced about. The village did look very different from before and didn't radiate that aura of acceptance like last time. It more so was worry and slight fear. Something was happening, but Izumi wasn't sure what it was. There were people talking some on coming battle of sorts.

"Yeah, look's that way. Come on then, let's go get some food." She yawned as she walked along side Seiki. "Know any near by restaurant in here? I'm looking for a large meal." Hopefully they wouldn't be stopped from entering the village. She sorta didn't want to get involved with what was going on with the village. It wasn't really of any of her concern, though the other part of her her clan side of her was just telling her that she should help. Her hands idly petting her Salamander dragon baby, again this was going to be a rather interesting visit. Rhapsody seemed a bit shaky and Izumi glanced her upon upon her pet. Animal's were more in tuned with nature than human's were and Izumi relied upon animal behaviors sometimes to figure out if something bad was coming or not.

Looking at Sanzon, I sigh as I must confess, "A war zone? I'm on an island, Sanzon. One that requires flight or ships to reach. I am not worried about the safety of my people at this moment. Besides, the capital isn't ready yet. Should a war break out it will be fought on the mainland." I pause for a moment before my body tingles with a shudder. I speak telepathically to Sanzon, "I feel it again. Be on your guard. There should be no unauthorized spirits in my territory. Let the Mind control the body." I could feel the spirit's presence but I do not see it yet. This is rather annoying. I've been saying this for months now, but I really need to train my sensing abilities.

Wondering what is taking me so long, Adrian walks out of the war room and looks at me. "Brother, by all means, hurry up. The Council has proposals ready for you." I smirk at him and tell him to handle things. "You already know how to make these decisions. Have their rival dissect their proposal to find the flaws then go with the best plan that protects your people and readies your forces for battle. I am about to be busy having fun in the sky." Adrian looks at me and while his initial facial reaction is one of concern and near dread, he dutifully bows and accepts my order. He walks back into the War Room while I scan the area with my senses for this unidentified spirit.
