The street was burned horribly, like a fish set at the fish for too long... Many of houses bore roofs devoured by fire and reduced to ash. What a truly dreadful sight, indeed. Many people managed to survive, but their livelihoods might take longer to recover. Or at least Blake had assessed that much. The raging flames happily devouring all it touches... The fangs of a beast or the kiss of a sword greeting your entrails with much tearing and ripping... This was indeed the Black Blades' doing, if nothing else.<br/><br/>Following after Haruki and Nyoko as they made their way through the city towards the flame-touched pagoda. He followed after them with curiosity, his eyes soon focusing onto a small figure showed from nowhere. A little girl... Adorned in grey kimono, and bearing unusually long hair, colored the black of night. Her eyes, colored violet yet so dark they almost seemed as black as her hair. With her sight turning on the three, Blake glared at her intently as she spoke...<br/><span style="font-style: italic">"You come for nothing. He's gone... Don't follow him."</span>Continuing in what seemed to be a warning, her right hand rose up, pointing at Haruki.<br/><span style="font-style: italic">"Especially you, fire-head. If you go north, you'll meet only death."</span><br/><br/>Closing his eyes and opening them once more, the girl had vanished without a trace. He wanted to pretend he was imagining that girl... That her forewarning was not true at all... Soon an old man walked out of his house, standing where the girl once stood. He had to give this old man some credit. Then again, it was likely oh so obvious that he could tell they were travelers.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">"There is no need for anger... That was Noraki. She's always like this... Some people say she is no human, but a spirit. She knows the future."</span><br/><br/>"A Seer, nonetheless, dear elder." Blake said glumly. "They can be human or spirit... But they can see into the future... And if their mind's eye is strong enough... They can see events before they even occur... In any case..." Holding a spell tag in between two of his fingers, and handed it over to Haruki. "Well then... If you hadn't got to overhear an earlier conversation... In exchange for not getting a finger chopped off... I must tend to the sick and or wounded. Do you two need anything?" He asked. He d, but it was unlike him to just take off without a warning. And though he could have just went off without saying a word, it was better if he at least he made mention of it.
