Dark Edge Village

Late into the night, a flock of crows flies over the village, circling twice before lancing out into the western fields with singular purpose...

Khulun knows the sign and assuming her allies follow she gallops towards where they land, jade resting around her writs under armor, thankful that Rabbit-sensei could lend her some protection. The Moto princess was unsure of what to expect but knew that destiny would be on her side.

Samai found it curious as even as Lord Moon was tall and proud in the sky, his light seemed to avoid the patch of land she and her compatriots were standing on.

Why am I here? She asked internally.... The Iuchi and Otaku refused the meeting, with wise reasons. Truthfully, she also debated, but... she was an Emissary. Her family and the Moto spent years together on their journey, and it would have felt a failure of Duty to not accompany them here.

She raised her fan and opened it, her eyes slightly accented with make up. Despite any trepidations of their guest, there would be no half-measures here.

Scirocco was anxious, but he would protect his princess to the end.

"Moto-san... are you ready?"

Following close behind, Monkhbaatar was with the Moto. He had taken it easy during the day earlier, knowing that if things went poorly here he'd need to be as prepared as possible. When the arrived at the location he gave Khulun a look to let her know he was there for her, ready and willing.

"I am ready Sayyeda Samai," she says grimly, resting her hand on Massacre.

At least one of us is.

"Very well. We listen for now." Her voice was wavering as she said it... though she was of highest status, she joined the discussion late. Still, she was going to do her job.

"We are here together," Monkhbaatar says with a stoic face. "We will get through it together." He gives them both a nod.

The Moto princess nods, she would not show fear now, not with so much at stake.

Shinjo Monkhbaatar wrote:"We are here together," Monkhbaatar says with a stoic face. "We will get through it together." He gives them both a nod.

"Hai, Shinjo-san. Arigatou." She left it at that for now. Hopefully yes.

She let out a small sigh, but otherwise stood stoically, fan in one hand, reigns for Scirocco in the other.

"Eli's coming," she said to herself as she crossed in to the fields.

Eli's coming...

"Eli's coming," she repeated.

Eli's coming!

"Eli's coming," she repeated again.

Eli's coming. Eli's coming. Eli's coming.

"SHUT UP!"

She yelled.

"Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up!"

Eli's coming!

On, the Mantis walked, finding herself nearing the other samurai; who would surely hear her coming.

Looking to the sound of the shouting woman, Monkh brings Meushi around and moves to meet her. "Yuzuki-san," he greets. "What are you doing out here?" His voice was more curious than accusatory, but there's a wariness to it, out of concern for the woman. She probably doesn't know what she's walking into.

The Moto draws Massacre and turns her mount towards the... Mantis? Was this the Onyx Champion all along?

"Come no closer... announce yourself!"

"It's Yuzuki-san," he says back towards Khulun.

"I'm Yuzuki," she said as her approach was halted by the Moto's command. "Eli's coming. Who in Jigoku is Eli? Why have you brought me out here? What's going on here?"

She brought a hand up to her temple, rubbing it.

"We didn't bring you out here Yuzuki-san," he says. "But it could potentially be dangerous. Here," he offers a hand to have her join him on Meushi. "I wouldn't want a guest getting injured or worse, you can ride with me for now."
