[attr="class","skullbody"]Two of the three attackers, who concealed themselves with coats and scarves proceeded to loot the trucks and pack their contents upon sleds. One mentions that the contents would be enough to get them though the winter. This was enough for the shinobi to understand that this was not some random attack. It was a move of desperation on their part, those who were destitute supplying themselves at the expense of a system which oppressed them. Mu recognized this but didn't see it as that cut and dry as this attack resulted into the deaths of Sonoran guards who were innocent. [break][break] The third gave orders and watched on for additional guards. Hearing the wincing of one guard left alive, the man unsheathed his katana and severed his head with one swing. By the kami, Mu thought. He should've intervened by now. He could've at least prevented the death of that guard, but it was far too late. [break][break] Keimusho watched as the man placed the bloodied katana back in his sheath. The bladed assailant had an air of raised caution about him. Did he have an inkling that Mu was there watching him? Noticing a shinobi of Mu's caliber was something that other jonin would struggle to do. Perhaps it was far too hasty to conclude that this man's perception would rival that of a high ranking shinobi. Maybe he was just more alert thanks to that guard he just decapitated. Mu couldn't be too sure. What was clear about this man was that he wasn't to be taken lightly. That burst that caused the initial damage was prove enough of that. Unsheathing his blade, he whispers into it, "Enma. Distract him." [break][break] The oni appeared at the command of Mu. He then moved over to the man with the katana, hovering over his face. "Hey you! What do you think you're doing to those poor guards?" [break][break] Mu nodded as he approved of the distraction. Still underneath the effects of Hide, he took this opportunity to sneak by him. Mu led his silent footsteps towards the hooded figure with the axe on his side. With this distraction, he would sneak behind him. If Enma could keep this distraction up long enough, he planned to strike him with the hilt of his blade in an effort to render him unconscious, then he'd do the same to the other if they hadn't caught on. Mu certainly did not want to attempt fighting all of them simultaneously.

[attr="class","skulloverlap"]MU
[attr="class","skullbody"]Cecil did not press Mu further about his abilities or about Enma. For this he was grateful in more ways than one. Who knows what else Enma would've said to further confuse the issue? Enma's antics were something that the shinobi was frankly exhausted of dealing with for today. [break][break] Nearby the guards would discuss how the presence of flan were unordinary in this part of the country. This explained why they were so unprepared for them. Worse still was that they lacked the magic to combat them on their own. This had Mu wondering, how many villages shared this issue? How many are completely lacking the magical inclinations that kept the capital moderately protected from monsters and gave them the means to repair Torensten from damages? May the kami forbid much more dangerous monsters from attacking this village. [break][break] Cecil asked the shinobi if he was in need of a place to rest for the incoming night and suggested that they further their conversation through food. It is an inquiry that Mu is appreciative of but would sadly have to decline. However, before Mu could give Cecil this response, Enma responded. "Food! Please boss, I'm tired of eating rations!" [break][break] The shinobi turns to his companion with a raised brow. "...Enma. You don't even eat." Keimusho didn't understand why Enma is doing this, but he couldn't help but admit that his companion has some sort of point. The Au Ra more or less lived exclusively upon rations with few exceptions, but this was a means to avoid taking off his mask in front of others. The only person to see Mu's face since he came to Zephon was Caius during the Festival of the Hunt feast. Though at the very least he would have to stay in this village for the night, lest he and Enma travel through the night, which isn't entirely out of the question for a shinobi like Mu. Nevertheless, the ninja decided to reevaluate his decision somewhat. [break][break] "I suppose that Enma and I will have to stay in the village for the night. I trust you know of a place? As for food, I won't partake myself, but feel free to continue our discussion as you satisfy your hunger." This was the best compromise that Mu could come up with, to avoid Enma's needless complaints throughout the night.

[attr="class","skulloverlap"]MU
[attr="class","skullbody"]The man introduced himself as Cecil, a knight from a land called Baron. It was not a name that he had recognized from his homeworld nor from Zephon. "Ah, so you too are an outlander?" the shinobi asks. [break][break] The knight seemed to be quite curious about how Mu felled the flan, giving the credit to Enma who he believed to be some sort of summon. Admittedly, Mu could see how easy a connection like that could have been made, given that he didn't see Mu making the handseals to cast the technique. Enma too is something that isn't simply understood, let alone a being that is easy be around. The assumption that Mu summoned him like an arcanist was also understandable. The ability to summon creatures isn't entirely out of the question for ninjas. Often the onmyoji summon spirits called shikigami and bind them to clay golems called koji. Some ninjas are capable of summoning such constructs, which then explode. It is a technique that Mu had not learned himself. [break][break] But Enma was no summon either, so the shinobi felt the need to clear that misconception as well. "Summon... It all makes sense now!" Enma blurts out. The oni proceeds to raise his aetherial arms to the sky with a tooth grin on his visage. "This is why I am the fine specimen before you. I have been summoned by the kami themselves to grace worlds with my beauty!" Mu was left speechless. This was excessive even by Enma's usual standards. Ignoring his companion, the ninja proceeds to seriously respond to Cecil's question. "Anyways... Enma is not quite a summon either, he more or less shows himself whenever he pleases." Mu responds. "As for my methods... I suppose that all I can say is that they are secret techniques from my homeland." Even though it does not really matter since they are in Zephon, even saying that much somewhat irked Mu. The secretive habits of shinobi are nigh unshakeable, but they proved to less useful in a place where he stands out more due to being an Au Ra among other factors.

[attr="class","skullbody"]Mu watched as his two bolts of lightning granted the knight an opening to dispatch the final flan by driving its blade deep within the monstrous sludge, splattering its slimy carcass all over his blade and shield. Thankfully, the shinobi did not have to endure a similar fate since he opted for a long-ranged approach. If he had to use his blade, the cleanup process of his armor would surely not be pleasant. Nor would Enma's complaints that his vessel (the blade) was covered in slime. Even though this knight had a shield to bear the bulk of the sludge, the ninja did not envy the warrior in the slightest. [break][break] Once the handwork was done, Keimusho leapt from the building he stood upon to greet the knight who thanked him for the assistance. Though he proceeds to identify Mu as a black mage, which caused him to raise a brow. [break][break] "Black mage? You are mistaken my fine sir! The boss is no black mage. He's not wearing enough black! But he is wearing quite a lot of violet... Maybe you call him a purple mage!" Enma says to the warrior. [break][break] "Enough, Enma," Mu interjects. "Apologies. He simply jests, but I'm no black mage or mage of any kind." In his world, the black mage profession was one that almost completely died out due to them being partially responsible for a calamity. All he really knew about black mages were how they are said to have powerful, destructive magicks, which he only saw firsthand in Zephon during a skirmish with an angry spell slinger that attacked a whole village. The ninja can't seem to recall what exactly that black mage was so angry about though. In fact, the memory of that entire encounter was rather foggy. Though he did remember that the mage casted Thunder quite a few times. Perhaps he mistook Raiton for that spell. "The assistance I offered was no trouble, really," Mu assured him. "From what I witnessed, I doubt those flan were getting through your shield anytime soon." [break][break] "But... they did get on your shield," Enma adds. "You might want get that washed off. I am sure that is not going to smell pleasant later." [break][break] "Right... though I have neglected to introduce myself," Mu remembers. As is customary for his homeland of Doma, the shinobi gives a bow to the shielded warrior. "I am Mu and this is my companion Enma."

[attr="class","skulloverlap"]MU
[attr="class","skullbody"]Mu and Enma once again found themselves returning to Torensten, though not yet near the capital. Instead, he found himself in a village that was within the nation, but not the city proper. A few moments ago, he overheard a couple of guards run past, warning the citizens of monsters. [break][break] "What's going on?" Mu asks a nearby guard. [break][break] The guard eyes him, noticing the ornate armor that is simultaneously fit for a shadowy warrior and Enma floating above his shoulder. "Ah, from the look of that armor and monster floating there, you must be Mu from that ceremony that the king held for the Kraken slayers," the guard notes. [break][break] That ceremony was quite a bit ago, but it apparently stayed somewhat fresh in the minds of some. As much as he wishes it otherwise, it could not be helped. Slaying a few monsters in the opens causes the reputation to follow you. [break][break] "Hey, I'm no monster. I'm a respectable warrior!" Enma interjects. [break][break] "Whatever you say," the guard responds to the oni's comment. "Anyway, some flan have breached into the city in that direction. There's a knight holding them off while we route the citizens to safety." [break][break] "I see," Mu responds. [break][break] "Ah, thinking of joining the fray boss?" Enma asks the ninja. [break][break] "Certainly, Enma let us be off." [break][break] The monster problem that Torensten is seemingly never ending, even the capital itself is not immune. A village of this size couldn't hope to match the protections of its nation's capital. If it weren't for the magic that allowed for the people to constantly rebuild, the nation likely would not be standing as it is. Hopefully the rebuilding efforts are also brought to the villages as well. [break][break] This monster threat would once again for Mu to spring to action in broad daylight. Keimusho would leap atop a nearby home and leap across nearby structures to create a vantage point and take the monsters by surprise if they hadn't been dealt with already. This time the monsters are some type of gelatinous creatures he hasn't encountered before. He certainly didn't see them in Doma or anywhere else in the Far East for that matter. Eorzeans would recognize them as a voidsent often referred interchangeably as puddings in addition to flan. He was not in the western part of his homeworld long enough to ever encounter one there, thanks to being sent here to Zephon. [break][break] The knight that the guard mentioned was staving off a barrage of magic by the flan. There was quite a number of flan surrounding him, but Mu judged that the knight was much too close to them in order to utilize Katon without hitting him as well. The ninja instead brought his hands together to form Ten and Chi. The two mudra signs were woven by the ninja to unleash Raiton. The shinobi weaved his hands together in a final sign, which summoned a bolt of lightning from the sky to smite one of the monsters into a splattered pool of gelatin. He would weave these same two mudra once more to bring another of the monsters to the same fate.

[attr="class","skulloverlap"]MU
[attr="class","skullbody"]The shinobi did not visit Sonora often, but by the kami, there was a lot about Sonora that Mu is just not keen about. It did not help that Sonoran culture was the most adverse to outlanders, not that it mattered to much to a man who has found comfort in the shadows. The Au Ra's gripe with the city could simply be summed up in a single word: corruption. Here it was clear that the gain for coin was the only value of this place, which was nigh the opposite philosophy of a Doman shinobi who pledge themselves to causes that are greater than their own personal gain. For Mu that was seeing his homeland liberated, but ever since he was sent to Zephon that pledge has since tentatively shifted towards helping Zephon's people wherever he could. [break][break] As corrupt as Sonora was, it was not simple to find people who were willing to ask for any assistance. The people had an individualist mindset, making most calls for help go unnoticed. The people more often did not want help, especially not from any outlanders. That meant that any situations in the city that Mu was able to provide help in were at best circumstantial. Though that would be expected of the Sonoran capital. [break][break] Mu's horns suddenly picked up the sounds of a burst, which he immediately turns his attention towards. Heading in that direct, the shinobi spots two fallen trees, caravan of trucks, and three individuals towards the back of the vehicle. The shinobi casts Hide to get a closer look at the scene without detection. The corpses of Sonoran guards surrounds the vehicles with the three assailants looting the back of a truck with its engine blown out. The man with a katana at his side stood out most to the ninja. [break][break] Mu had decided not to engage them yet as the motivation behind this attack was not clear. As of now he would just secretly watch under the veil of Hide. Thankfully, Enma didn't do anything to blow his cover. As brash as the oni was, he had enough sense to not disrupt Mu in this moment.

[attr="class","skullbody"]Monori explained to Mu the Final Days, but in so doing left him even more perplexed. [break][break] "By the kami. This Final Days business sounds like a tale that would put the calamities to shame. I could suffer only to imagine the number of casualties." [break][break] To imagine a monster that is bereft of aether was something unheard of for the shinobi, but to know that was the fate that innocents overcome with emotion had to endure was another thing entirely. Even so, that wasn't what confused him most. The shinobi could accept wrapping his head around the concept as absurd as it is realistically. After all, being stuck here in Zephon for the past few years is strange enough. Hearing the Garlean Prince's name once more did not surprise him since Alexander had previously informed him of his supposed return to life. Zenos being present after the Final Days business only help to confirm the claim. However, the Miqo'te's part in it all wasn't adding up. Monori had claimed to have a fist fight with Zenos yae Galvus after adverting the Final Days by the behest of Hydaelyn. Did the Eorzeans have multiple champions blessed by Hydaelyn? [break][break] The shinobi turns to the building that the Miqo'te has been eyeing throughout their conversation. "I presume that you speak of the Rising Stones. I actually don't know for sure who owns the place as I am just hearing of it myself. I have my suspicions though. Given that it shares a name with the headquarters of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, I'd wager that it may belong to someone affiliated with the organization."

[attr="class","skullbody"]So, she truly was an Eorzean as the Au Ra suspected and this Miqo'te who introduced herself as Monori Jhida concluded easily that he was from Doma. [break][break] "I am indeed from Doma. You can call me Mu." [break][break] The Miqo'te woman proceeded to ask the Au Ra questions that frankly confused him. [break][break] The Final Days? Settling our differences with the Garleans? By the kami, what is she referring to? The Au Ra raised an eyebrow alongside the sudden thoughts. Mu scratches his head. "The Final Days...? Forgive my nescience, but I haven't the slightest idea of what you are referring to." The best conclusion that Mu could come up with was that Monori must come from a different place in time just as Alexander had. "It sounds as if you have experienced events that I have not even heard of. The last major occurrence concerning the Garleans was our claim of Doma's freedom by the means of flooding Doma Castle." [break][break] The oni-like Anima suddenly materializes over the Au Ra's shoulder. "The Final Days? That sounds ominous. Must be some spooky stuff." [break][break] "Enma, do you mean to suddenly appear like this whenever I meet someone?" Mu asks the being floating over him. "Apologies Monori. This is my companion, Enma. He has a habit of choosing when to hastily appear whenever he sees fit. Despite what his appearance might suggest, he is harmless." [break][break] "Hey boss! I'm not harmless. I am the greatest fighting companion one could have!" [break][break] Ignoring Enma, Mu returns to the previous subject. "Anyways as I was saying before regarding the... Final Days as you called them. Would you care to explain to us what exactly that means?"

[attr="class","skullbody"]Mu made his way to the city of Provo at the suggestion of his floating oni companion Enma. The Au Ra could probably count on a single hand the number of times that he has visited Provo. Among the cities of Zephon, he has spent the most time in Torensten followed by Sonora. The shinobi travels outside of Torensten to do a job here or there. The shinobi has to buy food somehow after all. Admittedly, Keimusho would find Provo a nice change of pace. Constantly hearing of a section of Torensten getting destroyed and subsequently rebuilt can be a bit tiresome. [break][break] The Au Ra did not know much about the current happenings of Provo. So far, he has heard that an Adventurer's Guild called The Rising Stones. If he remembered correctly, that was name of the headquarters for the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. He wondered if Alexander Sorel is the one behind the organization. It would certainly explain the coincidence. If he is truly Eorzea's Warrior of Light as he claimed, it wouldn't be out of the question for an adventurer of his caliber to form an organization for other adventurers. Perhaps he should visit the place one day to make sure of it. [break][break] What was more of his concern at this moment was whispers about some sort of cat woman. Out of curiosity, the Au Ra asked for the whereabouts of this woman which led him to a local bar. If there are any other people from his world in Zephon then he would like to know of it. If he was correct in his assumption, then sitting at this bar would be... [break][break] A Miqo'te. The Doman walked towards the Miqo'te and greeted her with a Far Eastern bow. "Hello. You are from Eorzea are you not?"

[attr="class","skullbody"]Mu's public reputation due to his deeds during the Festival of the Hunt and the battle against the Kraken led to more requests for job, at least whenever they so happened to encounter him. Though it was not as if people had exact directions on where to find Mu, he is a ninja after all, a ninja who didn't stay in the same place for long. The majority of said job requests correlate to his stealthy nature. They often had to do with retrieving some stolen items or saving someone's friend from some situation they found themselves in the black markets. They were mostly abrupt and situational. However, this job was quite different. The shinobi found himself on a job which saw him meeting a contact in Keleawe Village with whom he would discuss the details. The shinobi considered ignoring the request since it seemed shady, but a persistent badgering by Enma caused him to forgo his better judgement. [break][break] The blend of the primitive and advanced technologies was almost surreal to the shinobi. Scap metal was everywhere, and robots roamed the streets, yet the majority of the architecture was palm leaf houses. [break][break] Mu walks to the building specified in the request. A voice calls out to the ninja. [break][break] "You wouldn't happen to be the one called Mu would you?" [break][break] "I am indeed." [break][break] "Step inside, we'll talk in there." [break][break] Mu obliges. The building appears to be some sort of shop judging by the interior. [break][break] "What's the job?" [break][break] "To keep this brief, I am one of the engineers that helps reprograms the robots guarding the village. I need you to take out a certain robot causing problems." [break][break] "What sort of problems, pray tell?" [break][break] "It comes to the village and attacks and destroys the robots guarding the village." [break][break] "I see. That really does pose a problem. Any particular reason why this one can't be reprogramed it like the others?" [break][break] "See that is yet another issue, I can't really reprogram something that I cannot see. This robot in particular has a habit of turning invisible. I can't find it, let alone gather the robots necessary to destroy it." [break][break] "What does it look when it isn't invisible?" [break][break] "Seems like it is carrying a giant sword and looks like a giant suit of armor." [break][break] "I see." [break][break] "So, you'll do it?" [break][break] "It's going to be an issue if the robot starts attacking the people as well so I'm left will little choice..." [break][break] The engineer nods in acknowledgement and the shinobi sets off. [break][break] As much as it pained the shinobi to admit, it is going to be quite a pain attempting to find an invisible robot. He didn't even know where to start.
