Ow= Old woman

OYour brought back, the children, women, men. Everyone screaming, the haunting wind and heat of the burning fires. You cant move and the screaming dies. A ghostly voice fills the village you stayed in.

K: Your souls... Are mine!

You hear footsteps approaching you and a ghostly figure stands in front of you. It has no face and is in black clothing with two long red swords. It walks around you in a circle and you cant move.

K: So your the next Rift master eh, your nothing more than a scared child.

It's ghostly whisper is quite but fills the forest at the same time. He draws one of his blades and holds it to your stomach.

K: The Fox and Oni clan, the greatest threats to my power are gone. Say goodbye rift master for your soul is mine.

The sword slices through you than you jerk awake and scream. You breath heavily and Vi scurries awake looking around for any enemy. She looks around wildly and than back at you. She can see the distressed look on your face and her face softens.

V: Hey are you ok?

You nod your head no and bury your face in your hands. You hear her walk over to you and she attempts to put a hand on your shoulder but she pulls away last second. You know she still doesn't trust you and you know it. Its still raining out only increasing your paranoia. You stand up and put your robe on you stretch and look out the window.

After a few minutes the rain comes to a stop and you get your katana and put it back into its scabbard.

Y/n: Lets go we have alot of walking ahead of us.

V: Yeah your right.

You walk through the rain soaked ground and hear frogs croaking in the distance. You look down at the river and see its heavily flooded. Vi taps on your shoulder and you see shes standing really still.

V: Um y/n look...

You look at where shes pointing and see him standing there. Kondor stands there looking dead at you. You draw your katana and hear Kondor let out a ghostly laugh.

K: Boy, I'm not here to fight right now.

V: Shut up you bastard you killed my clan!

She shoots and arrow at him but he grabs it out of the air effortlessly. He inspects the arrow and throws it to her feet.

V: Y-you caught my arrow.

K: That's right but Im not here for you girl im here for him.

He walks over to you and you cant move. His smoky figure moves towards you like a cat stalking its pray. He lifts your arm up and look at your katana.

K: You both are impressive, she has the arrows that Drift himself used to try and seal Fade away. And you hold the sacred blade of the Oni clan. I will watch the both of you with great interest. But just beware get in my way and I will feed on your souls.

Y/n: Shut up... You monster you killed the my entire clan.

He just laughs and fades away leaving behind only a singular cherry blosom in its place. You put your swords away and look at Vi. She looks just as shocked as you and she puts her bow away.

V: What a sicko, are you alright though.

You clench your fists and feel a tear slip out. You still the cherry blosom into the ground and scream. Vi walks up to and grabs your shoulder.

V: We need to get going if we finish our training we may have hope at beating this guy.

You continue walking and Vi stays by you. You hop up into a tree and study the land around you. You can see a tiny cabin with smoke coming from the chimney and a single light. You jump down and whistle. A large hawk comes flying from the sky and lands on your shoulder. It's purple energy radiates around you and you speak to it.

Y/n: I need you to go to that cabin and see if anyone is there ok?

It squaks in agreement and flys off toward the cabin. You sit down and get one of the apples from your pack. You wait patiently for your hawk to come back and Vi sits down and drinks some water.

V: So you have a pet hawk?

Y/n: Yep, he is a ancient gaurdian bird of the Oni Clan.

You hear the hawk squak over head and the hawk flies down. Its signals someone is in the cabin. You throw it a peice of meat you keep in your pack and it snatches it happily out of the air and eats it. You begin to treck towards the cabin slicing through vines and thick branches. The forest begins to become more vibrant and the clouds slowly begin to fade.

You finally begin to smell the burning wood from the chimney and the light coming from the window. You and Vi both cautiously approach the door and knock. You hear footsteps approaching and it opens revealing a frail old woman.

Y/n: Hello I just wondering if you knew the were about of someone named Fade?

V: And Drift!

Ow: Ah yes Ive been waiting for you two come in come in.

She pushes the two of you inside and she locks the door. She walks over to the tiny wood stove and pulls out two bowls of soup. She lays them on the table and walks over to the blinds and draws them.

Ow: Did anyone follow you guys? I can sense a great evil in the forest.

V: We just attacked by this guy named Kondor.

The old womans eyes widen in shock and she puts her hand over her mouth.

Ow: Do not say that name! Do you hear me? He is nothing but pure evil, breed by the hate and death humanity causes.

You and Vi quickly nod your heads in agreement and go back to eating your soup. The old woman walks over to you and grabs Vi and your hand.

Ow: I sense you both have recently been through a great tragedy. You lost something very dear to you guys and you are out for revenge.

Y/n: How do you know that?

Ow: I know lots of things child, you both are very powerful warriors.

She turns to Vi and gestures to the arrows in her quiver. Vi hands the arrows over to her and the old woman walks over to a cabinet and brings out a pink crystal. She waves it over the arrows and they spark to life with a crackling pink electricity. She grabs your sword next and examines it.

Ow: This is some fine craftmanship. The sacred blade of the Oni clan am I right. Do you mind?

She brings out a purple crystal next and runs it along the blade of your sword. Purple glyphs pop up on the blade than fade away. It now emits an ominous purple smoke and radiates with a dull purple light.

Y/n: What did you do to it?

Ow: I improved it. You know I was the one who crafted the Eon Blades for Fade.

You dont believe it, she crafted weapons for Fade. This frail old lady crafted some of the most powerful blades ever known to man.

V: What do these arrows do?

Ow: You will find out soon enough.

Y/n: I have a question for you.

Ow: What is it child?

Y/n: How do we Find Gade and Drift?

She sits back in her chair and looks lost in thought.

Ow: Drift went to a strange island powered by a mysterious orb several miles East from here. As for Fade hes been looking for Drift for years ever since he was defeated by him.

You and Vi both stand up and think the old woman for the meal and as you walk out the door the old woman grabs your hand.

Ow: On your hourney you will make several freinds and several enemies. Just dont walk the path of evil and greed as Fade once did. You and that girl are both powerful and can restore peace. Just keep faith and no amount of evil can beat you.

Y/n: Thank you mam.

You and Vi both walk away from the cabin and the forest suddenly darkens again and the cabin becomes a pile of wood. You and Vi both turn to each other confused as to what just happened. But you must continue and not stop for the journey continues.
