Ceylan's journey had progressed slowly and painfully. He'd been able to hitch rides from people to get closer to the Paizu mountains, especially now that he was back in his home country, The Republic. He realised that his beast blood made it easier to connect with people here, far more so than with the Fae at least. Sadly enough, his destination was a remote one, so even the nearest city was still far off. Hitching rides to go even further was difficult as well, as there was nobody around for miles. He wished he could afford hiring some flying beasts, perhaps even a dragon, to just fly him all the way there, but that was well above what his meagre coin purse could handle.<br>
<br>
His legs were also killing him. Why was the thing he needed most in this area the thing he wanted to fix by going here? He'd grown tired of casting continuous healing magic on his own legs just to be able to walk, yet he didn't see another option. He also wondered how the others were doing. If Cayde was still adventuring, if Haruki and Tia had settled in somewhere and if Mira was adjusting to the Syncretist branch he'd dropped her off at. He'd considered taking her along, but the man he was visiting did not like people, so the less the better.<br>
<br>
That did mean Ceylan had to try to keep walking with his own strength. He grunted. Blasted legs. Another healing spell cast, he managed to start to move again, as the pain was relieved enough to keep stepping for as long as he leaned heavily on his staff. He should probably rest somewhere soon, but he was packed lightly to leave his legs unburdened, meaning he'd have to camp in the open. He had not prepared well for this trip, had he? He felt a bit foolish, but on the other hand, he was also able to convince himself that this was part of his atonement.<br>
<br>
At least the weather was nice. He thought, as he saw storm clouds gather on the horizon... That made him pray to the weather gods pretty quickly. Rain was the last thing he needed right now. There should be one more small village before his final destination. Perhaps he could reach it and spent the night there, get some supplies and then make his long way into the mountain proper. Such was the plan, at least. With some luck, he'd be able to get there in one piece and without any interruptions.</div>

<div style="text-align: center"><span style="font-size: 26px"><b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"><u>Seikatsu Mitsunari </u></span></b></span>​</div><br>
<br>
Tracking and stalking, that was what Mitsunari's life had boiled down to in recent months. Rumors of a powerful healer had caught his attention, but the man seemed to move around quite a bit. Aside from the traveling, learning about the man was no easy task as the man was a member of the church and no holy person would easily open up to someone like the fox. He was forced to skulk about, ambushing people in places where the healer was said to have been and taking what they knew of his plans to find the next clue. It was safe to say he had seen far more of Ryke now than he had ever hoped to. <br>
<br>
So when his latest inquires hinted that the man was headed north to the land of the beasts, Mitsunari was upset but also relieved.  It was a far journey from Ryke, but a new place where he had yet tread upon. <br>
<br>
And while they wandered through the open plains a storm seemed to be brewing up ahead, but those winds carried a scent upon them; the smell of a mutt. Behind his bandages and mask, Mitsunari grinned with all of his teeth.<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> "Finally, I have found you." </span>He would cast his own healing spells upon himself in an attempt to alleviate the pain he had been feeling and stifle the pain he was about to put himself through. <br>
<br>
Excitement spurred him forward, his ogres in tow as they hurried through the scenic fields towards their target. And certain as the sun rose in the east, there was in fact a canine who fit Ceylan's description, traveling through the same path. <i><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Bring him to me. Alive." </span></i>He issued the command in the language of the monsters; a precaution to keep the hound from knowing his intentions if he was capable of hearing that far. <a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1663955453298-png.1024897/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/962/962027-f3463e515955f82c1d8b810670338886.jpg" class="bbImage bbImageAligned--right" style="" alt="1663955453298.png" title="1663955453298.png" width="100" height="143" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
Without hesitation the red giants rushed forward, their blades gleaming in the sunlight as their heavy steps shook the ground. <i><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Alive!"</span></i> The kitsune reminded the ogres as he saw the hunger in their eyes. Upon reaching their master's target one of the ogres would attempt to grab hold of Ceylan, its large hand stretched open to wrap around the small prey.  <br>

It turned out it wasn't good weather he should've prayed to be good, but safe roads instead. His heart skipped a beat when the ground shook, as some very large things were approaching fast.  He knew the mountains had some dangers lurking in them, but five giant red ogres? That was not what he expected, especially not at the foot of them. What in the world was he supposed to do? Run? His legs wouldn't him far? Fight? He could bonk them with his staff, but that'd do exactly nothing? Pray. He was already doing it, begging the deity of travellers to keep him safe from being eaten on these roads. It wasn't working, as the things kept heading his way. Being eaten here by a clan of Ogres was not how he thought his life would end, but he knew his days, no, his minutes, were numbered. If he'd felt bad before about leaving Haruki and Tia, his heart ached even more now, knowing he'd not even meet them again. They'd just think he'd have left them and never returned.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Maker have mercy on me.”</b></span> He said, as he was ready to meet him when a sharp looking sword swung his way... only to be stopped. Intead, he felt fingers wrap around him. What was this? Were they going to torture him first? Boil him alive? Bring him to their leader as a gift? Whatever it was, it likely wasn't going to be better than what would've occurred had he died here. He breathed in deeply. Then bit down into the Ogre's hand with all his might. With some luck, he could anger these things enough to kill him quickly, rather than suffering a slow death.</div>

<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"><i>"You'll eat soon enough."</i></span> The fox promised as he made his approach. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"><i>"Put him down."</i></span> At Mitsunari's command, the dog was dropped and the ogre let out a low growl of frustration and anger. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"You're not what I expected a priest to look like." </span>His head tilted to the left as he looked over Ceylan curiously. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"You're far prettier than the other holyfolk I had to interrogate in order to find you." </span>In the background the ogres plopped down to the ground one after another, shaking the earth beneath their collective weight as they did. <br>

His attempt failed, as he wasn't given a quick death. Instead, he was granted confusion. Someone controlled these monsters? When he was put in front of the fox, he scoffed. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Sorry for disappoin...”</b></span> Wait, hold up, reverse that. Prettier? Really? What in the world was this? He'd already started to snap back with a remark, knowing his fate was sealed, but this caught him off guard. If it wasn't for him being kidnapped, he'd almost be charmed. Almost. That said, he was kidnapped and there was something Ceylan really didn't like about the way this fox said 'interrogate' regarding his fellow Syncretists. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“What have you done to my brothers and sisters?”</b></span> Despite his situation, he sounded surprisingly hostile for being Ceylan, yet this threat to those he'd grew up with was one of the few points that could genuinely draw out some anger in him, even if his life was at risk. <br>
<br>
As the fox made his intentions clear, Ceylan attempt to appraise him, but it was to no avail. He had a lot of choice words to reply, anger, frustration and fear as well. However, taking a deep breath, he decided it was best to stay with the calm and rational option. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“You've found the wrong person. I failed the gods and ended up in the same condition.”</b></span> He said, showing his legs. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“If I had the power to heal away god-inflicted injuries, I wouldn't be trying to walk around with them.”</b></span> He really hoped that it would somehow be enough to make the fox back-up, even though he wasn't quite sure. At the very least, he didn't want to mention anything about who could help the fox, as he really didn't trust this figure in the slightest. The fact the fox had two more tails than him was slightly intriguing, as he knew a tiny bit about Kitsune and their magic trickery, almost closer to a [Fae] than a [Beast] in that regard, but he was far too weary of this man being evil to want to interact with him. That, and the fact he'd just been kidnapped by ogres, of course.</div>

<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"What?!"</span> Ceylan's declaration that he was unable to heal their seemingly similar afflictions caused a spike in anger in the fox. As he thought about the months he'd spent suffering like this and then the time he spent to track down the dog his catalyst that hung around his neck started to chime and glow. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Argh!!"</span> In a fit, Mitsunari turned around and conjured a cascade of fire that erupted from his mouth as he screamed. the flames rolled out away from the pair, leaving a ashes in its wake as the field was set ablaze. <br>
<br>
He breathed heavily, his chest visibly pushing against his kimono. The ogres look to one another and then back to the kitsune, caught off guard by the sudden outburst. They had never seen Mitsunari in such a state. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"If you cannot help me then you will discover first hand what I have done with your beloved brothers and sisters."</span> The low tone of his voice didn't stop his words from being heard as he turned to face Ceylan and peered at the canine through his bandages.  He used his [Persuasion F] in an attempt to convince Ceylan that he had indeed harmed his friends when in truth he had not done anything to any of them. But then he had an even better idea. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Actually, you may be better kept as a pet. I'm sure that if you've reached this level of skill in healing, then you will continue to grow to meet my needs." </span>His fists loosened and the black tails that had been tense now relaxed. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"But you will not need your legs for any of that."</span> <br>
<br>
His eyes went to the ogres and he gestured for them to come and get Ceylan. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"><i>"Eat his limbs! We will take him home with us."</i></span> He said in the monsters' native tongue. If Ceylan was no use right now then he would be in time and to show him how serious he was, Mitsunari intended to dismember the priest and use healing magic to keep him alive. The ogres rose to their feet and lumbered over to Ceylan, two of which grabbed the dog by his arms and lifted him off the ground. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Be quick about it."</span> He nonchalantly waved his hand, unbothered by the impending bloodshed. <br>

Yep the fox was a magic user alright. Shouting fire and wind like it was nothing. That said, Ceylan had no clue what to do in this situation and he failed to see through Seikatsu's deception (<i>technically not a persuasion, but I'll roll with it</i>) as he wasn't exactly in the state of mind to think things through calmly and rationally. Even in his current situation, he cared more about the others than himself, as he knew one of those brothers and sisters might be Mira, who he'd left behind, or some of the orphans whom he grew up with, or priests that taught him all he knew... <br>
<br>
He gathered his courage to reply to Seikatsu, wishing to say that he'd never serve this fox, but he changed his mind. He had to be rational about this. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“What would you do if I would learn how to...”</b></span> 'Heal you.' would've finished the sentence, but his reply was cut short by the command to have his legs taken from him.<br>
<br>
The two ogres that'd managed to grab a hold of Ceylan first smiled broadly at the command to eat the dog's limbs. They knew the other three would start to demand their share if they weren't quick, so they lifted up the priest above their heads and bit right down onto the legs, one for each, hoping to snap them off with ease... except they didn't really snap off. The ogres were sure they were biting down hard, as they heard thinks crack and the nice flavour juices were flowing out rather well. It was almost like a piece of jerky, very flavourful and chewy. The ogres kept chewing away at the noisy one's legs, enjoying the flavour. <br>
<br>


<div class="bbCodeSpoiler">
	<button type="button" class="bbCodeSpoiler-button button--longText button" data-xf-click="toggle" data-xf-init="tooltip" title="Click to reveal or hide spoiler"><span class="button-text">

		<span>Spoiler: <span class="bbCodeSpoiler-button-title">Now for the more gruesome side of these events.</span></span>
	</span></button>
	<div class="bbCodeSpoiler-content">
		<div class="bbCodeBlock bbCodeBlock--spoiler">
			<div class="bbCodeBlock-content">Ceylan was logically shocked by the command, as he closed his eyes, not daring to look at what was coming. Closed eyes didn't stop a feeling, as the immense pain of getting his legs bitten off made him scream out in agony and terror. However, his legs didn't fall off. The same bindings that [maimed] him were now somehow keeping his legs somewhat together. Only somewhat. His bones broke easily at the force of the Ogre's teeth, somehow finding new parts to break with every time the ogre chewed. Blood flowed freely as skin got scraped off. His legs were quickly turned into mangled flesh and bone between the god's bindings, yet every time the bindings tied them somewhat back in shape, they were chewed on again. Only a few chews later, they were mangled beyond imagination.</div>
		</div>
	</div>
</div><br>
Some gods had mercy on Ceylan, as the dog finally passed out from the immense pain. However, it was clear that he'd soon bleed to death if the ogres didn't stop chewing and if he wasn't treated very soon. Were Seikatsu to (eventually) go through sparse Ceylan's belongings, he'd spot the dog had a map of the mountains with him, along with a route towards a high-up mountain cabin labelled 'cardinal'. It didn't take a genius to put two and two together and figure that the dog was likely trying to make his way towards a higher-ranked person in his church to get rid of his maimed status. That said, the map missed some details and some markings were strange to the fox, so it was unclear if he'd be able to make his way there on his own.</div>

As the ogres turned Ceylan into a midday snack, Mitsunari was more focused on the state of the man's legs. They were still attached to his body and Ceylan's screams meant he could feel them still. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"A curse and a boon."</span> The other two three ogres were ready to dine on the priest's arms as their master had commanded, but Mitsunari had a sudden change of mind. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"><i>"Put him down." </i></span><span style="color: null">He commanded. The ogres groaned, but conceded to their master's wishes and placed Ceylan on his back. The fox approached the mangled hound and crouched down beside his legs. It appeared that the damage had been done, but his legs remained whole. He was sure their conditions were different, but it left him wondering how his own might respond in such a situation. </span><br>

<span style="font-size: 15px">Malerie trudged along, somewhat cursing her somewhat weak body. She wasn't one to go on hikes normally, even if they were good for her, and even in her previous life she mainly worked out by doing yoga and power walking, not hiking. She glared up the mountain, wishing ill on the rocks themselves. Not so much the people who lived on it, as they probably had their reasons, but the mountain itself was a pile of refuse in her opinion, and truly she wouldn't mind if the whole world was much more flat overall. Would make her travels just that much easier, at the very least.<br>
<br>
<br>
As her mind was caught up in those muses, her train of thought was broken by a scream. Not just a scream, but a scream that came from a voice that was... almost familiar. She put on a burst of speed and ran up towards where it came from and saw a group of very... interesting people. One was a familiar priest, and his predicament made her gasp in both shock and pity. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Jesus Christ, what happened to you?" </span>She said it in a low tone, but with heightened hearing it very well could have been clearly made out by the kitsune. Her eyes quickly made out the other 6 people, which quickly made her realize how bad of a situation she was truly in.</span><br>
<br>
She slowly started to step away, but one more look down at Ceylan made her know that if he didn't get any help, he wouldn't live much longer. Her hands closed into fists as she did her best to steel herself, checking her bag for necessary herbs and medicine, and she slowly and nervously started to walk towards the group.​</div></div>

Although the attempted healing cleaned up the legs a bit, closing some of the cuts and the more superficial wounds, as well as curing any diseases the Ogre's foul spit might've left in Ceylan's blood, the heavily mangled legs were far too damaged to fully restore (even though that was never Mitsunari's intention to begin). However, an additional problem would present itself. To heal significant injuries to the point they'd no longer be lethal, he'd need far better (C-Grade at least) healing and considering the heavily mangled, broken, twisted and shattered state of bone, flesh and muscle alike, as well as the very significant blood-loss, it was only a matter of time before the passed-out Ceylan would meet his makers as a result of dying to the remaining injuries.<br>
<br>
Following the map in a general direction would not be too difficult, as a small village closer to the mountains was the next destination on it. However, form there, it'd probably be a much bigger challenge due to some of the markings being difficult to interpreted for those not familiar with the faith and whatever methods they used to ensure only the worthy could meet their cardinals. <br>
<br>
It's a that point that Malerie would enter the scene, lured in by the sound of Ceylan's cries of agony. It would be up to Mitsunari how he'd perceive the newcomer, but even though he didn't possess an appraisal ability and even though Malerie wasn't as clear a monster as most, his sharp senses would be able to pick up on the fact that she wasn't your average peasant, nor a fellow priest.</div>

As they crossed the terrain, Mitsunari stopped parodically to check on Cey;an's condition. Although he had the mutt's map, he could not make sense of most of the symbols on it and knew he would need Ceylan's knowledge to proceed, so he could not let him perish. The village that was marked upon the map would be the best chance of healing the man before he would be able to cast his spell again. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"There is a village up ahead. If there are no healers then it may serve as a good source of food." </span>He teased to the ogres. It was while he mused about eating people that the fox would hear the voice of someone nearby. He turned quickly on his heels and his eyes darted about in search of the interloper. <br>
<br>
<br>
And there he saw it, a figure watching them. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"What are  you?"</span> He whispered as he stepped away from the ogres to single himself out as its leader. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"><i>"Come closer friend!" </i></span>He called to the stranger, beckoning them closer with a wave of his hand. Whatever it was, it did not appear human and so Mitsunari spoke in the language of the monsters, hoping that he had stumbled upon something he could entice with violence and the perhaps even subjugate. <br>
<br>
He didn't have too much time to spend on this engagement, but he could not turn his back on them either, not before knowing whether they were friend or foe. <br>

"You're in no position to make demands of me."</span> MItsunari quickly replied as he glanced back at the ogres and then to the woman once more. The ogres were his defenders and whether or not this woman was a threat to him still remained to be seen. Although she had yet to display any power and didn't appear to carry any weapons, so he had his doubts.<i><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> "Put him down."</span></i> By his command the ogres laid Ceylan on the ground and Mitsunari moved to stand by the canine's head while the ogres formed a semi circle around them, standing just close enough to allow them to reach out and grab the fox or the priest if need be.<br>

<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"If you're capable of saving his life then do so, otherwise you will be the doctor that condemned him to death over a little discomfort." </span>While Ceylan would be useful in finding this cardianal, Mitsunari doubted he was the only person in the world who could understand the markings on the map. Other members of his church could be found and forced to decipher it. That would be a long and tedious process of course, but Mitsunari had nothing but time.<br>

Malerie started to walk forward, saying, <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"The keeping their distance isn't just because of me not liking them. They obviously aren't sanatized and them doing anything with the wounds could very well make them even worse than they already are."</span> She knelt down, looking at them. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Though by the looks of it, they already made these wounds horrible. And as for condemning him to death over discomfort, whoever caused these wounds would have condemned him to death if I didn't come along. The legs hold important arteries for the human body, or I guess the beastman body in this case, and these legs are mangled. It looks like some sort of healing magic has been cast, but even with that he would bleed out within an hour, maybe two."</span><br>
<br>
She began to work, first making sure every part of the wounds were disinfected before going about actually fixing the wounds. Her hands were in and out of her bag for a good while, grabbing herbs and medicine that she either put on the legs or made him ingest. The process was somewhat slow, but the first thing she gave him seemed to have slowed the bleeding and put his body in a general state of rest. Soon she grew close to completion, bandaging the wounds, but she had saved his life using her knowledge to [Heal What Ails You].<br>

Malerie's healing managed to close up the wounds on Ceylan's legs enough to stop him from bleeding to death. Her herbs and medication from the medicine managed to get him to wake up from his passed-out state. Even so, he felt horrible. Woozy from blood-loss and in pain from his legs still being rather [maimed] from the curse and having barely settled into a bit of a 'normal' shape again. When he opened his eyes to see Malerie, he was thoroughly confused and for a moment, he thought he was back in the Holy City of Vegard again.<br>
<br>
However, when he also saw the Ogres and Mitsunari, he quickly realised the gods had merely sent Malerie on his path to have her extend his life a bit longer. He wasn't sure why, as he'd almost made peace with his death, but he knew there had to be some reason for it. His first thought was that he should be very careful not to make known that he knew Malerie, as that'd probably put her in danger. His second thought surprised even himself. He should logically feel a lot of hatred for the man who'd put him through a lot of pain and torture, but he didn't. Was this a task set upon him by the gods? To test the limits of his faith by having him try to convert someone that nearly murdered him? <br>
<br>
He wasn't sure. The blood-loss didn't exactly smooth over his thinking capacity, for what it was worth. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Thank you for saving me, kind stranger.”</b></span> He addressed Malerie first. His deception wasn't the best, but perhaps Mitsunari would just chalk it up a lack of sincerity or something else, instead of assuming an existing relation between the two.<br>
<br>
That left the difficult part, as he turned to Mitsunari and felt a shiver run down his spine. He really didn't want to experience the pain from moments ago all over again, but if he didn't try now, he'd knew he'd never find the courage or fortitude to ever try again. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“We've gotten off on the wrong foot.”</b></span> Understatement of the century. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Allow me to properly introduce myself. I'm Ceylan, High Priest of the Syncretist Church.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Was he going to do this or not? A last shred of doubt filled him, but he shoved it aside. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I'm willing to guide you to a Cardinal of our faith, someone whom could cure both our conditions. However, I can't guarantee he'll help you. In return, I'd like for you to tell me your story.”</b></span> Short after he said it, he looked through his pack for his map, only to realise it wasn't in there.</div>

Now that she had come closer he could se the woman better, but still was unsure of what her species was. He had never seen another creature with her features before. He watched the woman do her work and took note of Ceylan's reaction to the various instruments at her disposal. She was skilled and that could not be denied, Ceylan was lucky that she happened upon them when she did, although he would be able to cast his healing spell again very soon. Was her willingness to lend her talent purely out of a desire to do good or was there more to her involvement the fox wondered. <br>
<br>
Finally the priest awoke and he was speaking too. He found it weird however that the canine chose to introduce himself to him rather than to the woman that saved his life. He was left wondering if there was something he did not know about the two of them. So he wasn't just some random priest it seemed, that was probably the most interesting thing about the dog. He was someone of importance within his faith and to Mitsunari that made him just a little more valuable. <br>
<br>
It was a strange request to want to know his story, but Mitsunari would prefer not to torture the priest again and have him lose consciousness.<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> "Fine. You're physician friend may tag along too." </span>Mistunari gestured to the Ogre nearest Ceylan and with a powerful hold on the canine's arm he lifted Ceylan up to his feet.<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> "But we walk and talk, priest.

Malerie blinked in surprise at the fact that Ceylan didn't seem to recognize her. After all, she wasn't exactly hard to remember. How many other gray skinned girls with masks for faces had he met, she wondered. Her eyes went from Ceylan to Seikeatsu, her face slowly moving into a frown. Something was going on between the two of them and she had to admit, she didn't exactly like it.<br>
<br>
Her eyes focused on the fox beast man once more. She really felt like there was something off about him, but she wasn't completely sure what. However, she soon learned one reason when he said that there was plenty to eat in a nearby town. That... didn't seem right. Something about the way he said that put her on edge, and she couldn't help but ask, <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Supply of food? What kind of food do they eat?"</span>​</div></div>

Somehow, the fox wasn't going to get the ogres to try eating his legs all over again. That was a relief. However, the next problem arose. The presence of ogres would no doubt be a great disturbance to the village they were heading for. Besides, if Ceylan recalled the ones living near here correctly... Although Ceylan couldn't detect any specific malice, there was a certain eagerness and aggression that disturbed him. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Is there any chance I could convince you to have your ogres stay behind whilst we go and obtain food for them, so that they will not cause panic in the village?”</b></span><br>
<br>
Knowing that he wasn't in a position to argue, he'd start heading for the village regardless of the answer. That said, he maimed legs weren't suddenly going to make him any faster, especially not after the treatment from the ogres, so he'd be back to the slow and steady if left to his own devices.  He had ulterior motives though, as he was really hoping Malerie would volunteer to support him. First of all so he wouldn't be in the hands of those ogres again, secondarily so he could whisper; <span style="font-size: 12px"><span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Thanks for saving me, Malerie, but this man is trouble. You've got to make a run for it the moment you've got a chance.”</b></span></span><br>
<br>
The village that started to get visible on the horizon was a very simple one, not even having a wall around it. All in all, there were maybe 10-12 buildings, mostly cattle farms. A large amount of sheep was walking around in pens outside the village, as it looked like they were going to be sheared soon.</div>

The kitsune's eyes focused on the woman for but a moment when she inquired to the type of food that the ogres would eat. He scoffed at her assumption that she could speak to him any further. She was tagging along solely to keep Ceylan from dying, should his would require medical attention in the future that neither of the two magic users could attend to. In truth he saw them both as his prisoners and had no intentions of conversing with them, expect for the fact thar he bargained with Ceylan. That alone would be the only reason he conversed with the priest. <br>
<br>
It seemed however that Ceylan too had worries similar to the beak-faced woman. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">Where I go they go."</span> Mitsunari quickly declared. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"I highly doubt that a crippled priest and...whatever you are..."</span> He dismissively waved his hand in Malerie's direction. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"...could manage to carry enough food to feed them all anyway." </span>The ogres were Mitsunari's only line of defense, he would never part with them again, not after the last time he traveled solo. <br>
<br>
As the group started to move once more, Mitsunari and the ogres trailed close behind. His own affliction made walking a chore as well, but he had learn to conceal his pain his suffer in silence. Fortunately the village they had been discussing came into view and Mitsunari opened the map that he had taken from Ceylan. He looked it over, comparing the location of the village to other markings on the map, but still couldn't make sense of everything. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Given our current pace, Priest, how long do you suspect it will take us to reach your cardinal?"</span> Mitsunari inquired. The ogres would need to eat their fill if they were to be walking for a long time, otherwise they would get angry and even Mitsunari could not cage five disgruntled monsters. Food was part of survival after all.  <br>
<br>
When the sound of the village reached his ears, Mitsunari raised his left hand to instruct the ogres not act of their own accord. <i><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Wait for my command. You will all get to eat before the day is out."</span></i><br>

It was tough news to learn the fox wouldn't go without his ogres. However, he did have a counterargument. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“We could herd back some sheep.

<br>
However, as they went closer to the village, they ran into someone leaving the village. It was a young looking sheepfolk with her herd of sheep, about 20 of them, as she was likely taking them back to the fields after having been recently sheared.<br>

As she spotted their group, she waved at them. <span style="color: #FAFAD2"><b>“Hello travellers!”</b></span> She hurried to meet with them with a gleeful smile. She glossed over all of them equally, but her smile only widened when she saw Mitsunari's three tails. <span style="color: #FAFAD2"><b>“Oh, wow! You're a Kitsune, aren't you sir? That's so cool! My mother always used to tell stories about them, how they're magical and powerful and protectors of the weak! Is that true sir?

<br>
Ceylan, meanwhile, was praying to any god he could think off that Mitsunari wasn't the type of person to kill this girl without a though and have her and her sheep eaten by his Ogres. If worst came to worst, though, he'd be ready to do whatever he could to save the girl.</div>

<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1664555199903-png.1027027/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/964/964157-b3cf24878ee77527d19a8f993ec223c2.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1664555199903.png" title="1664555199903.png" width="123" height="100" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
Ceylan was very invested in the idea of keeping his ogres at a distance and Mitsunari could not blame the priest. The monsters would need to eat soon and after having been a poor excuse for a snack, Ceylan could probably tell how hungry they were. On top of that he was given a brief glimpse into how calloused the fox could be. In truth he had not made up his mind on the matter of whether the ogres would dine on the villagers or not. And Ceylan was going to great lengths to try and avoid that possibility.  But before he could speak, they were approached by sheep, ascended and not so.<br>
<br>
Looking down at the girl as she spoke, Mitsunari was brought back to his days in the empire. There were all manner of beastmen there and one such person was a sheepfolk. Back then they were all victims of the empire's slave laws and although he was not looking for friends and family, those close quarters and traumatic experiences forced them all to build a bond. He broke that bond back then, turning those friends and would-be family into his weapon against their masters. But here he was presented with the chance to avoid repeating the past. This girl mentioned his kind were considered protectors and idolized in a way. And yet the republic allowed the empire to thrive while many of their kin suffered under such cruel conditions.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"I am a protector."</span> Mitsunari replied with a cold tone.<i><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> "Eat the flock, spare the girl."</span></i> His eyes never left the girl's form as he gave the order and the ground started to tremble. The ogres spent on time on thought letting their hunger guide them as they rushed towards the herd of sheep. The kitsune crouched down to be at eye level with the girl. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"The world is cruel young one and to protect you and all our kind from its evil, I must do terrible things."</span> He was no guardian angel or tender of the weak; those days of caring for his sickly brother were behind him. Yet he could not sentence this innocent to death, not when there was nothing to be gained from it.<br>

The girl could only watch in shock as her entire flock got eaten. Panicked bleating and the sounds of bones being broken by teeth, blood dripping from ogre mouths and bits and pieces of skin and bones flying from them. For the young sheep-girl, it was horror. After all, she'd known this flock ever since she was a kid and her parents had only recently allowed her to start taking them out to the fields. Not only that, but they were her family's capital. Without them, how would they earn money for food? Would her parents ever forgive her for loosing them? Tears formed into her eyes, although she didn't move an inch, stunned by fear. However, when Mitsunari said it was to protect them, a tiny glint of hope appeared. <span style="color: #FAFAD2"><b>“Is it really for everyone's protection?”</b></span> She asked him, clearly trying to put up a bit of a brave face. <span style="color: #FAFAD2"><b>“Will you pinky-promise me?”</b></span> She said, holding up her pink towards Mitsunari.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="font-size: 18px"><span style="color: #00BFFF">Ceylan </span><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/threads/isekai-hell-characters.504269/page-2#post-11192063" class="link link--internal" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rpnation.com%2Fthreads%2Fisekai-hell-characters.504269%2Fpage-2%23post-11192063&amp;hash=6282e4a5587c95934b694a008b0b1636"><img src="/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FjWhdvet.png%3F1&amp;hash=36e6c0b82850f37ea1384ea37ab63b8b" data-url="https://i.imgur.com/jWhdvet.png?1" class="bbImage " loading="lazy" style="" width="" height=""></a></span></b>​</div><br>
Although he knew it was cowardice, Ceylan felt a lot of relief when the ogre's only went after the flock and not the girl herself. Whatever the fox had command them in their strange language, he at least wasn't one for meaningless evil. It meant his decision to not resist him at the cost of his own life might have been a good one. Perhaps, just perhaps, this man might even be redeemable.  <br>
<br>
Ceylan would wait a bit for the ogres to finish feasting, but would eventually dig through his robes to take out a small coin pouch, handing it to the girl. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“It's not much, but it's all I have. Use it wisely and I'm sure you'll eventually be able to get a new flock.”</b></span><br>
<br>
He then turned to Mitsunari. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Your ogres have eaten. I'm assuming you have no objection to going around the village now, rather than through it?”</b></span> He pointed to their north-east. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“The first mark on the map is the simple mountain-path over there. It's often used by shepherds, so it should be in good enough condition. If we start making our way up there, we can make a good distance into the mountains before dark and spent the night in one of the shepherd's cabins.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Hopefully having Mitsunari on board with that, he'd return to their previous topic once they were making their way up the mountain. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“So, what should I call you?”</b></span> The fox hadn't replied to Ceylan's introduction, but he hadn't given up the hope of getting a name out of him, be it real of fake.</div>

As he watched, the only thing Mitsunari could think of was how annoying the sheep were as they perished. Listening to humanoids was less irritating to him because he considered it his fanfare. like trumpets symbolizing his victory over an equally capable foe. But he was dragged fro his thoughts by the voice of the little girl once more. She seemed to take him at his word and perhaps that was a testament to the status of his kind in these lands or a showing of the girls gullibility.<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> "When the eastern empire falls, know it was me. Protecting our people." </span> he straightened up and watched Ceylan pass on a purse full of money and for the briefest moment he considered taking it from the girl, but resisted the urge. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Very well."</span> He conceded to Ceylan's request that they not head into the village. The hound was quite determined to protect those people and their peace. With the priest explaining their path, Mitsunari followed him without question and when they finished consuming the flock the ogres caught up. The fox looked to the long walk ahead of them and let out a heavy sigh. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Mitsunari."</span> He replied to the question of identity. It had been a while since he had a conversation with someone that wasn't a monster or an enemy. It felt weird to engage in pleasantries. He looked Ceylan over and then thought back to what the sheep girl was wearing. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Is this your priest attire or the way they dress wherever you're from? I have not spent much time in the north, but I don't get the feeling they dress as you do here." </span><br>

Malerie assisted Caylan to his feet, looking him over before frowning. He didn't look well, even with her healing. She shook her head before turning, putting an arm around him to steady him as they walked. When she heard what he said, however, she whispered back out of the corner of her mouth, <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"I could get that he was bad news. However, I'm not leaving without you."</span><br>
<br>
Malerie grit her teeth at the sound of rending flesh, but at least the girl was safe. That was something she wouldn't be taking for granted. She glanced at each of the three non monsters, her teeth on edge. She... really disliked this... kitsune? He was a horrible person who seemed to be completely fine harming those who can't fight back as long as it lead to his goal. She had taken an oath to do no harm, so for her, there was nothing worse than doing harm to another person without reason. Though he might think his reasons are good, in her eyes he was just as much of a monster as his ogres.<br>
<br>
Her eyes flicked to Ceylan, wondering if bringing this person to wherever he needed to go was truly a good idea. He didn't seem trustworthy in the slightest, and she had a sinking feeling that he would do his best to get what he wanted one way or another, no matter who he had to hurt to do it. And she was also sure that if he had a reason, he would have harmed the girl he claimed to be protecting without a second thought. She wanted to leave, but she didn't like her chances of outrunning these things, and she definitely didn't like Ceylan's chances. So for now, all she could do was trust the dog man.​</div></div>

The sheep-girl crashed to her knees short after the group left, clutching the coin purse in her hands whilst trying to come to terms with what just happened.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="font-size: 18px"><span style="color: #00BFFF">Ceylan </span><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/threads/isekai-hell-characters.504269/page-2#post-11192063" class="link link--internal" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rpnation.com%2Fthreads%2Fisekai-hell-characters.504269%2Fpage-2%23post-11192063&amp;hash=6282e4a5587c95934b694a008b0b1636"><img src="/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FjWhdvet.png%3F1&amp;hash=36e6c0b82850f37ea1384ea37ab63b8b" data-url="https://i.imgur.com/jWhdvet.png?1" class="bbImage " loading="lazy" style="" width="" height=""></a></span></b>​</div><br>
Ceylan, on the other hand, was somewhat pleasantly surprised. Not only did he get a name that didn't sound fake, the fox-man was actually asking him a question. If it wasn't for the fact his legs had nearly been eaten off on this man's command, he'd almost be happy about it. Scrap that, he was happy about it. His tail would betray such sentiments, although it was a slow wag. After all, he was still somewhat careful about whom he was dealing with. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“It's a combination of those. The underclothes are from where I'm from, the overgarments are vestments from our church. We don't have any strict dress-codes, but most of us wear something like this to at least be identifiable.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Considering Mitsunari has asked him a question, Ceylan was feeling rather brave, so he asked one in return. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I take it you're not a fan of the Eastern Empire either?”</b></span> He carefully observed the man's reaction (Empathy D) to those words. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Our church has a long and troubled history with them, as we heavily condemn their acts of slavery. They arrested our priests on accusations of helping slaves escape on multiple occasions, so it's a dangerous place for us to wonder, especially those of our kind. They even tried sentencing one of our bishops to death over the murder of a slaver.”</b></span><br>
<br>
As they kept walking, he had to lean more and more on Malerie as the healing wore off and his maimed legs started to hurt and slow him more and more. He'd also go considerably slower by minute. On top of that, he could sense her concern. That was something he could maybe do something about... <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I'll have to warn you though, Mitsunari. The cardinal we're headed for is a strange man, even for those of our faith. I've be warned he might not even wish to heal me, so I'm not sure what your chances would be. He didn't sound the type to be susceptible to threats or bribes either.”</b></span> Those words were all genuine.</div>

Now that he thought about it, the other holy people who he had to shake down for Ceylan's whereabout did all dress in a similar way as the high priest. He had never noticed them before now, but now he knew what to look for in the future. What he heard next interesting him the most, excited him even. The priest explained that the church he served was no friend of the empire and while Mitsunari was not looking for a friend in the Syncretist Church, he did find some comfort in the fact that he was not alone in his disdains for the east.

<br>

Ceylan frowned at the mention of slavery being lucrative. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“All the heavier is the price that slavers shall pay in turn.”</b></span> He left it in the open if he desired that to be in the current life or in the afterlife. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“One day, I hope our church grows powerful enough to abolish slavery through-out the continent.”</b></span> The latter was probably too idealistic, but one might hope.<br>
<br>
The topic of the cardinal was a more complex one. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Reaching certain levels of power changes someone. From what I've learned, the cardinal retreated into the mountains after obtaining the power to resurrect the dead from mere fragments of their bodies. The upper echelon of the church isn't open about the reason for it, but my own guess is that he chose the remoteness to ensure he'd be able to consider how to utilise his gift. I might need to convince him that the curse upon my legs has made me pay for my failures well enough for it to be lifted, or perhaps he'll ask something else entirely, but I'm under the impression he's chosen to use his newfound gift sparsely.” </b></span><br>
<br>
An easier topic was the earlier question. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I was raised by them, in one of their orphanages. Most chose to leave and find other occupations, but I decided to stay and learn, so that I could eventually help others like they helped me.”</b></span><br>
<br>
As they were talking, Ceylan was slowing down even more, every now and again gritting his teeth with a bit of a pained expression. The [maimed] condition was going strong on his legs. That said, he did wish to ask some questions to the fox in turn, so he tried to ignore it. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“What lands do you hail from, if I may ask?”</b></span> He hoped that was a simple enough question to get started.</div>

Hearing of the cardinal's power was inspiring, and made Mitsunari feel just a little envious. He was not truly interested in healing magic, but just to know that someone was capable of such a feat was enough to get the gears turning in his mind. Now he knew why Ceylan said that threats may not work on such a person. The power of the cardinal had to be unlike anything that he'd seen before. Personally he had no interest in the church, but if it had talented individual's like this cardinal and Ceylan, then perhaps it could be valuable to him in the future. And Ceylan who was raised by the church would be the perfect way in.<br>
<br>
"I am from Japan, a land in a different world, a different...reality." He had never spoken about his transition to this world before, but he was curious to see what Ceylan's reaction would be. He also wanted to be honest with the priest as that would most likely get him further. "It is a world without deities and magic, populated only by humans and base animals." His mind slowly drifted back to what he remembered of the old world, but he could only recall the big details and not really the minor ones like cultural differences and such. <br>
<br>
"However, my first memories of this world are of the eastern empire." Mitsunari started to feel the sting of his condition as the bandages gently brushed against his charred skin and caused the greatest discomfort, bordering on pain. They still had quite a ways to go and he couldn't guess how long their trip would take, so he decided it was best to be proactive. "Fox's Gift." The orb around his neck chimed and the chain was shaken as magic surged around him. Instantly a green aura wrapped itself around the fox and even around Ceylan. "Here, your map." He extended out his arm, holding the parchment loosely for the canine. <br>

The doctor listened to the conversation, thinking it over. The healing of the cardinal sounded powerful, and she might be interested in learning it, but her personal pride was in being a medical doctor, not one who used magic. She might in the end learn healing magic, as it tended to be faster, but she loved healing as a science too much to rely on something outside of that. Though, she thought wryly, she became a doctor to help people, and if she needed magic to do that, then so be it.<br>
<br>
She perked up when she heard something. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Japan? You're from Japan?"</span> She should have felt excited meeting someone from her world, but instead she felt... almost revolted. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Unless you're from far before I was, you're from a time and place where people have gotten to a point where morality of actions is at the forefront of thought and yet you obviously aren't above using bloodthirsty monsters to do your bidding? Yet again, unless you're from a bit before me, I would hope that you would be revolted by your actions! I could tell what your friends did to Ceylan, and it had been only recently before I got there, and yet you still are willing to go further than that? Have you no shame!"</span> She couldn't help the words poring from her mouth as her voice reached higher and higher, her eyes brimming with tears threatening to fall as she didn't even realize what she was doing was dangerous. Her revulsion was unable to be held back.​</div></div>

Things got confusing rapidly. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“A reality without deities?”</b></span> It all sounded rather strange to him. If it wasn't for the fact that Ceylan wasn't catching up on any dishonesty or mockery, he'd not believe a single world that came out of the fox's mouth. <br>
<br>
It was only at the mention of the Eastern Empire that Ceylan knew what they were talking about again.<span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I'm sorry they had to be from there, of all places.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
He was surprised when the fox suddenly backed him up with some healing. Not only that, he even returned the map. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Thank you.”</b></span> Ceylan replied, a bit of  confusion mixed in with the gratefulness. Although his legs were as maimed as ever, he'd be able to go for a few more paces without too much pain again.<br>
<br>
More surprising, however, was Malerie's outburst. He figured he'd best try to fix this, before it'd ruin the surprising progress he seemed to have made with Mitsunari. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“It's okay, calm down a bit please.”</b></span> He tried to calm her. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I'd lie if I said I liked that sort of treatment, but as Mitsunari let the girl from before go with just a scare, I'm sure we'll be able to find common ground.”</b></span> He actually was, for what it was worth.<br>
<br>
In the distance, the cabins that Ceylan mentioned finally were in sight. They were abandoned at the moment, as most shepherds had gone to the village to sheer their sheep, but they'd offer a place to rest for the night. On the topic of night, it was already getting dark, with the sun setting below the mountains. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I suggest we rest here, as the mountains are dangerous to traverse at night.”</b></span></div>

He hadn't met anyone who shared his situation, but Mitsunari always thought that it would be possible he was just one of many. How unfortunate that the first person he would meet would be some righteous woman who thought she was worthy enough to preach to him about morality. "<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">My life prior to this world does not matter. I can't go back there and I have no interest in trying to. The person I am now is far greater than the person I once was."</span> He didn't care about where she came from or how it compared to where he had come from. His life was his own to live. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"You clearly have had an easier time in this world and for that I envy you, but morals would have me in chains still. Morals would see me and twenty others just like me, enslaved to the elite of the empire. So no, I feel no shame for my actions, I revel in them for each choice I make has brought me one step closer to my dreams."</span> Mitsunari smirked as he watched the woman fight back her tears and anger. If this was enough to bring out such emotion in her then she hadn't seen anything of this world's true face.<br>
<br>
For Ceylan's cooperation, Mitsunari would ignore the woman's outburst and not let her be a midnight snack for his ogres. Instead he focused on the cabins that were just ahead. A place to rest would do both of the cursed figures some good. <i><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"We camp here for the night."</span></i> Mitsunari told the ogres, which they responded with heavy sighs of relief and grins upon their faces. They had eaten their fill and of course that meant it was time for a nap. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"What reason did the gods give for cursing a priest?"</span> Mitsunari asked as his eyes wandered down to Ceylan's legs.<br>

Malerie was fuming after what he said to her, and she responded with her thoughts about those words. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Oh? You think you're better? You might be stronger, but unless you were some sort of serial killer, I highly doubt you're a better person. And as for seeing this world, I've been shunned at every turn. I basically have nobody to turn to because of who I was born as. All I want to do is help, but nobody will let me help them unless it's a choice between that and death. Heck, the only time I was allowed to actually spend any amount of time with humans was when a plague was destroying an entire city, and even after spending day after day keeping as many people as I could alive, I still was treated as a pariah after the fact, still forced out of any form of human interaction, with some people even thinking I was the cause of that plague! I can tell you've had a shitty life here, but throwing away your morals makes you no better than any of the people you fight against. You're just horrible in a different way!"</span><br>
<br>
Her face was filled with emotions, some distraught, others pure rage. However, in an instant, her face went purely neutral, any sign of emotion completely gone. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"Oh, dearie me. What was that all about? I apologize for being so rude to you. I do hope you'll forgive me."</span> A small, polite smile spread across her face as she gave a small bow to the kitsune before turning, walking to the edge of the road and beginning to pick herbs and mushrooms, seemingly having completely forgotten about the rant she had just been on.​</div></div>

Ceylan was a tad bit worried when Seikatsu and Malerie continued their argument. Not only had he no clue what it was about, he was worried it'd escalate into something violent. There was, however, one thing he didn't wish to be silent about. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“For what it's worth, morals can be both chains and weapons. It all depends on how they're perceived and who wields them.”</b></span> That were his two cents, as the resident priest. As clear as his church's goals were, the way to get there was far less clear and he was very familiar with moral grey zones.<br>
<br>
As he caught Mitsunari <s>shameless checking him out</s> staring at his curses legs, an expected question was brought up. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“They attempted to test me and in my naivety, I failed them.”</b></span> That was all he wished to share on it, for now. He'd ask the same question of the fox, if it wasn't for the fact he wasn't all to eager to go into detail himself. Besides, there was something he was more intrigued by. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Is that language you speak the language of monsters? How'd you learn something like that?”</b></span> Hopefully it'll tell him a little more about his dognapper.<br>
<br>
That said, Malerie was acting very strange, which drew his attention. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Are you alright..?”</b></span> He said, a combination of confusion and worry. She'd made a complete 180 of being distressed to this weird apathy and his empathy told him that it wasn't a mere act. <br>
<br>
Either way, they'd arrived at the cabins. There were about five total and all of them were very simple, offering little more than some beds and a single chair and table. They'd all be too small for the ogres to fit into, as they were clearly meant as little more than temporary places to rest when folk were up here with their herds. Considering Ceylan wasn't sure how much freedom he should take in suggesting things, he instead just glossed over at Mitsunari, awaiting how the fox would suggest they spent the night. He knew he wouldn't get far if he tried running on his maimed legs, even with Malerie's aid, so Ceylan wasn't even really debating the idea of running.</div>

<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Better?" </span>Mitsunari was confused by the woman's use of the word for he had never said he was better than anyone or that he was trying to be. Listening to her whine over the loneliness she had suffered caused Mitsunari to lose interest. Their experiences in this world had not be the same, far from it actually. He much preferred isolation to slavery. But he could see now why the woman thought the way that she did; she was clearly insane. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Perhaps she is a lunatic."</span> The fox said with a serious tone as he pointed up tot he moon that offered them a cold light. <br>
<br>
The woman's sudden change in demeanor gave Mitsunari some time to ponder Ceylan's answer. He had been seen as unworthy of the gods' favor for whatever reason and they punished him for it.<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> "How predictable of them."</span> He approached one of the cabins and spared a brief glance inside to assess the sleeping situation. It was not ideal, but nothing in this life had been so far.<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> "I learned it after I subjugated their tribe."</span> One bandaged hand pressed against the door of a cabin and Mitsunari stepped aside as it swung open. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"You'll sleep in this one." T</span>he statement was absent room for argument or debate. He slowly returned to his ogres and snapped his fingers to draw their attention to himself. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"><i>"Take turns sleeping and ensure the mutt does not flee in the night. If anyone approaches...kill them."</i></span> The red giants nodded their heads in unison and four of the immediately moved to the centermost cabin, designating it as the one their master would sleep in. While the four of them made themselves comfortable by leaning against the exterior walls of the cabin, the other ogre who would be taking the first watch approached Ceylan and Malerie. He raised his sword and pointed to the cabin beside Mitsunari's where the door was ajar. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"I want to leave at a first light and make sure your friend does not have another episode or it will be her who needs medical attention." </span>The kitsune stood outside his cabin, watching hos two hostages to see if they would continue to be cooperative. The mouthy woman was already walking a fine line so it would take very little to get Mitsunari riled up.<br>

The doctor continued picking different things and putting them into her bag. Her only response to his comment about her being a lunatic was a simple, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"Depends what you mean. I would say my judgement is completely sound, and mentally there is no hampering of mental faculties."</span> She took a teapot out of her bag before she began looking through the contents of her herbalism bag, wondering what she should make.<br>
<br>
She saw him entering the tent, a smile plastered on her face. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"And don't worry~ I won't have another one of those. By the way, would you enjoy some tea before you begin to rest? I hear I make some of the best tea around~"</span> She seemed giddy as she began preparing for it, looking for something she could use as a fire to begin brewing it, seemingly having forgotten any animosity between her and the kitsune.​</div></div>

Subjugating an entire tribe of ogres? <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“That must have been quite the feat.”</b></span> Ceylan was genuinely curious how the fox would've been able to pull that one off. Alas, he was told to go <s>enter his kennel</s> sleep in one of the cabins. However, as for Mitsunari's warning, Ceylan wasn't sure how to reply. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I'm afraid I don't know her well enough to have any sway over her actions.”</b></span> He didn't need to lie about it, as with what Malerie was doing now, Ceylan generally couldn't make sense of it.<br>
<br>
He was about to retreat into the cabin for the night when Malerie offered them tea. Perhaps that was her way to try playing along again, after realising she'd been risking her own safety with the fox? Ceylan surely hoped so. He smiled, hoping to forge a bit more peace and stability. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“That's a great idea. Do you have camomile, per chance? It's been very long since I've had it.”</b></span><br>
<br>
It would even give him a chance to try getting through to Mitsunari a bit more. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Perhaps you'd be willing to tell us how you subjugated an entire tribe of ogres? Or, perhaps, you'd wish to hear me tell of how I once nearly ended up being sacrificed by a gnoll?”</b></span></div>

Mitsunari let out a heavy sigh as he heard the woman speaking once more in a manner that was entirely different to what she originally presented herself as. So long as she was not threatening himself or his other prisoner, what she did was of no concern to him. He watched the two as they got ready to cozy up around a fire and he was reminded of the bargain he struck with Ceylan. If the canine felt he was not upholding his end of their agreement then he might not take them where they needed to go. In which case he could make Ceylan a permanent prisoner, but that plan would take too long. "I killed their chief." Mitsunari said abruptly as he approached the fire. He stepped out of his geta and ignored the physical pain as he got down to the ground and knelt by the priest. <br>
<br>
"Tell me of the gnoll. Should make for an amusing tale if nothing else, although I'm sure you have no shortage of stories to tell, given your legs." He laid his hands in his lap and his tails wrapped around his waist, the black fur burnt and singed. It had been a very long time since he sat down to have a civil conversation with someone. Whether or not he would enjoy himself remained to be seen. "None for me." He said, rejecting the tea. <br>

She raised an eyebrow at his refusal, but didn't say anything more, instead just busying herself with creating the tea. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"Chamomile? I don't believe I've seen that in this world. No, the type of tea I make is specific to my knowledge of herbalism, so I use my expertise to excel at the creation~"</span> She began looking through her bag a bit more, her face thoughtful. However, she suddenly paused at a point, her eyes moving around, glancing at the surrounding area before she asked, <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"By the way... is there any sort of stream or the like around? I need more water than I have to make tea~ I'm sure you understand~"</span> She looked over at the other two expectantly.​</div></div>

<span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“There should be a stream a bit to the east, a few paces just beyond the hill there.”</b></span> Ceylan replied to Malerie, after checking his map. It was where most shepherds had their herds drink while they were up here.  He wasn't sure if Mitsunari would even let Malerie go, but that wasn't his business.<br>
<br>
Ceylan's disappointment with Mitsunari's short answer made room for some excitement when the fox at least wished to hear about his adventure's. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Well, I was on my way to a small village in he East of Ryke, along with a friend of mine, an alchemist. We had to go through the forest there, which was surprisingly dense and dark and filled with an ominous aura, like it was being cursed. We soon started to spot dead animals being cut up and hang from trees and branches, so we knew something was wrong. Neither of us were fighters though, so we hoped to sneak by, yet we failed. The gnoll had sniffed us out and managed to capture us, after which it tried to bargain with us, but it was clear it was just trying to get us to comply so it could sacrifice us. My alchemist friend managed to come up with a plan to get away from him, but we underestimated how easily the gnoll could chase us and we almost got captured by it. However, we managed to outrun just long enough to reach it's sacrifice site. It was somehow trying to resurrected a mummified baby gnoll as a demon, but by threatening to burn it, my alchemist friend was able to buy some time. We managed to free one of the gnoll's captives and with her help, we eventually managed to overpower him. It was a really close call though.”</b></span> As he was talking, he'd use Empathy (D) to see which parts of the story most drew Mitsunari in to focus on them and add a bit more detail to describing the scenes. He wasn't a great storyteller, but being able to pick up on which parts connected with his audience, he'd be able to ensure it was as exciting to listen to as he could make it.<br>
<br>
That said, there was something Ceylan himself had grown curious about. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“So what's this Japan and godless other world that you were talking about like? Is it much like ours?”</b></span></div>

<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"You have a habit of finding yourself in dangerous situations."</span> The canine's story was very insightful into the type of life that he lived and it was more wild than Mitsunari had anticipated. Nothing about Ceylan's personality or his appearance screamed adventurous, but his story seemed to paint him as such. Although he was far more interested in the gnoll that had the mental capacity and skill to threaten the priest and his friend as well as put together a ritual. It made him ponder what other competent outcasts might be out there. Having allies should be his goal and while the priest would be useful beyond a doubt, he was certain that the dog would not approve of his life choices.<br>
<br>
When Ceylan inquired about japan, Mitsunari thought back to the days where he would awake in a noisy home, full of guests being entertained by geisha and a sick brother who made his life difficult. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"It was nothing like this world."</span> His words held undeniable venom and frustration. The fox rose to his feet and dusted off his kimono before he looked to the woman who was tagging along with them. "We will be leaving at sunrise, so stay up all night if you like, but I won't wait." He turned his back on the duo and  Headed to his cabin. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Goodnight." </span><br>

Ceylan wasn't sure what to do with Mitsunari's observation of getting himself in dangerous situations. Such was the life of a [Wandering Saint], after all. He may not be looking for adventure himself, but adventure sure knew how to find him. He was a bit sad when the fox wouldn't share a thing about Japan, instead giving only a vague reply that was meaningless and leaving short after. It was clear that, whatever Japan was, it was a touchy subject. With the conversation ending like that, and Malerie not even being able to offer chamomile, Ceylan sighed. He wasn't going to wait here alone, so he went to his assigned cabin to sleep for the night as well. <br>
<br>
When Malerie returned, she'd just find the ogre's standing guard and a recently put-out fire. She did not posses to the right skills to sneak past them, where she to want or try doing so. <br>
<br>
The next morning arrived, with Ceylan being up early. He hadn't slept too well, as he kept dreaming about his legs being chewed off. It'd left more of a mental scar than he'd let on. The fact that the perpetrators were standing just outside didn't exactly do his mind any good either. Even so, he tried making the best of it. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Good morning.”</b></span> He'd greet Mitsunari, whenever the fox would awake. Ceylan had made himself some simple breakfast, boiled oats with raisins, offering Malerie and Mitsunari some as well. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“From here, we'll be heading off into the mountain proper, so I'm expecting our journey will become significantly more difficult.”</b></span><br>

It turned out Ceylan wasn't lying. After their breakfast, they headed for the stream Malerie had been sent to for water, then followed it deeper into the mountains. In the far distance, they could see the peaks of some of the most impressive snow-covered tops. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Our destination is somewhere among those peaks.”</b></span> Ceylan said, with a bit of a wry smile. The view was stunning, but with his legs already in pain again, even though he healed them on the regular just to keep walking, he was not looking forwards all that much to mountaineering. Even so, he tried to stay positive. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“The mountains always have something awe-inspiring and beautiful about them, don't they?”</b></span> He'd ask Malerie and Mitsunari.</div>

The night was long and Mitsunari had spent most of it awake, wandering around his cabin and even outside. He wouldn't say it, but he was exited. His face had not ben his face for some time now and that bothered him more than the pain he felt. His past life was focused around beauty and grace, neither of which he possessed at the moment. It was a good thing he lived in this world now because had he been back home, his family would have kept him locked away like some type of monster. <br>
<br>
Alas the sun rose over the mountain peaks and he was greeted by the high priest who offered them breakfast. Mitsunari had been in his position before, his life dependent upon the happiness of the other and although it left a dark spot on his heart for Ceylan did not deserve this. He partook of the canine's simple breakfast and readied himself for their trip. <br>
<br>
As they journeyed into the pass and moved towards the mountains, Mitsunari was taken by the splendor before him. Mount Fuji flashed in his mind and the hot springs of his home town. It had been so long since he soaked in a hot spring. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"What will you do once you are healed, Priest?" </span>Mitsunari asked. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"I won't be keeping you or your doctor hostage, so where will you go?" </span>Mitsunari liked to think he would rest and catch up on some much needed sleep, but he knew he had work to do and ogres to feed.<br>

Malerie followed along with the other two, listening intently. Her eyes moved around with interest, catching on certain plants still and picking them, stuffing them into her bag. When the destination was pointed out, she glanced at it,  giving a small whistle. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"Wow. That's... quite the distance! You do know I'm not exactly the type of person to work out too much, right~? I have a good body, but I don't like it being overly muscled~ Makes it look less appealing~"</span><br>
<br>
She hummed at the question. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"Where to go? Well, that's a tough one!

It really is great fun~ But I might get a <i>meal </i>out of it first, if I'm lucky~"</span> She giggled, the doctor pulling out some berries she had picked previously and popping them into her mouth. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"And what about you, mister? I'm sure with your friends, you can't really stay in villages too much~ So where do you want to go?"</span>​</div></div>

All things considered, Ceylan was caught off-guard by Mitsu's question. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I... I'm not sure. Perhaps I'll continue doing as I've always done, or perhaps I'll see if I can start working together with some paladins in the future.”</b></span> The reason for why Ceylan would want the latter was pretty obvious, as no matter how much of a goody-two-shoes he was, he did not wish for his legs to be munched on all over again. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Or perhaps I'll try my luck and venture to the Dark Continent, if I can find the right company. I'd like to know if there are [monster] species capable of co-existing with others, or if there are only extremely rare individual exceptions.”</b></span><br>
<br>
If Ceylan wasn't sure thus far, he was definitely sure now. Malerie had been hit in the head by some invisible landslide. She was acting way, way different and he had no clue why. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I'm not one to judge appearances a lot, but I don't see how being in good shape would make someone less appealing.”</b></span> He raised an eye-brow at the 'meal' part. Something was ominous about the giggle that followed it. <br>
<br>
As the walked along the mountain path, the road was becoming smaller and lesser maintained. It was clear that few people ventured this deeply into the mountains. They would, however, spot some weird claw marks along the side of the road. They were pretty large, with three clawed toes pointing forwards and one pointing backwards, likely from a two-legged animal. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“We should be careful...”</b></span> Ceylan said, not sure what those tracks were made by and not eager to find out. Luckily enough, they didn't seem to follow the path, although with the many rocks around here on which tracks wouldn't be left, they could never be too careful.</div>

<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Wander?" It</span> seemed that the woman had no goal or purpose to guide her and while, Mitsunari was all for freedom, he was perhaps a bit envious that he could not just wander. Ceylan spoke of paladins, an answer that he should have foreseen given the canine's holy nature. He was more curious about what those paladins would do, who their righteous blades would be aimed at. But he wouldn't expect Ceylan to reveal all of his goals to a stranger. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"We can go where we please, so long as we are willing to fight for it."</span> Mitsunari explained to the woman. After his little dungeon excursion, Mitsunari had made up his mind not to venture far from his ogres anymore. And as they reached more treacherous terrain and the footprints of a beast became more visible, <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"><i>"Two of you walk ahead of us and if this beast should appear, leave nothing of it."</i></span> The ogres grunted at the fox's command and did not hesitate to force their way to the front of the party. They drew their blades and readied themselves for a fight. <br>
<br>
As he watched the monsters move into their positions, Mitsunari thought about their origins. Ceylan mentioned the dark continent and it was a place that the fox had yet to go himself. If it was truly the home of the monsters then he may find some powerful creatures there to employ for his own goals. <br>

Ceylan watched as Mitsunari sent out two of the ogres. He hoped it'd work out, as whilst he didn't exactly like the red creatures, he didn't like whatever might've created these tracks either. He had a growing suspicion what it might be, although he didn't have the skills to confirm it.<br>
<br>
He was more confused, still, about Malerie. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“What do you mean, mostly?”</b></span> He decided to take the bait. He decided not to comment on her body-type any more, as it was awkward enough as it was. <br>
<br>
However, any attempt to converse further was cut short, as they suddenly heard the sounds of battle up ahead, along with some clucking... It didn't take long before the perpetrator to show up. <br>

Its claws were dripping with blood, most of it from ogres, some of which its own blood, as whilst the ogres had parished, they'd been able to wound it. It was clearly unable to put its full weight on its left leg, as it tried to balance itself with its wings. Its beak, however, was also dripping with blood. It'd likely pecked deep into one of the ogre's chests, as there were suspiciously fleshy things hanging from it. The limping Cockatrice would still be a danger to them, if they didn't act quick, as it still had one good claw, a very sharp looking beak and a very ferocious look. <br>
<br>
Ceylan, having no ways to defend himself, could only look around in panic.  He tried withdrawing a bit, as he'd been leading the way and was up front, but his maimed legs didn't exactly let him run back. It didn't take long before he accidentally locked eyes with the cockatrice and the creature's eyes made him freeze up. (<i>Stunning Gaze; the cockatrice's eyes can stun someone for one round upon direct eye-contact.</i>) The creature didn't waste any time, trying to limp its way towards Ceylan to peck him to death. With no way to defend himself, the frozen-up dog would soon meet a gruesome fate if nobody came to his aid. <br>
<br>
Luckily enough, his involuntary sacrifice had distracted the cockatrice from going after Mistunari or Malerie for now, which would give them a chance to run, counter-attack or plan. They wouldn't have long though, were they to want to help out Ceylan.</div>

Mitsunari had no interest in the current topic of conversation and found himself drifting off in thought and dreaming about how he'd feel once his body was back to what is was. He wished he did not have to wait so long to be himself again, but at least now the goal was in sight. He was awoken from his daydreaming however by the sound of fighting and bloodshed. He rised his gaze to settle upon the sight of a giant bird who had murdered his ogres. Without a word from their master, the remining monsters rushed forward, eager to avenge their kin and slay the beast. While the creature charged towards Ceylan, the ogres targeted it and raised their blades. One ogre attempted to grapple the bird's right wing while another swung his blade in the hopes of lopping the wing off. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"><i>"Defend the priest!"</i></span> Mitsunari commanded to the third ogre who rushed to Ceylan's rescue and swung is sword at the cockatrice's beak.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"We do not have time for this." </span>Their journey was long enough without such inconvenient interruptions and in the interest of returning to their journey, Mitsunari would not hold back. Mana surged around the fox as he channeled the energy and manipulated it. Dark clouds formed over the bird and thunder cracked, resonating through the mountains. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Raijin's Fury."</span> He called softly. A gust of wind rushed out from the spell, causing Mitsunari's hair and kimono to be whipped around in the shockwave, then several bolts of lightning rained down on the cockatrice.<br>

She walked a short bit away, pulling out 'medicine' and beginning to put them into a syringe, mashing them up into a liquid like paste before adding some of the water from the river, She added a leaf or two before putting the plunger in, swirling it around a bit as she checked the contents, waiting for it to 'ripen'.​</div></div>

One of the ogres successfully managed to grab the bird's wing. However, the creature saw the incoming danger presented by the second ogre, so the cockatrice turned its gaze from Ceylan to the ogre. The moment the creature locked eyes on the ogre, it stopped its tracks, failing to cut off the wing. Luckily enough, there was one more ogre, who proceeded to slash at the cockatrice's beak before the latter could attempt to peck at Ceylan. The beak didn't seem too damaged by it, other than some minor scratches, but it'd bought enough time.<br>
<br>
Mitsunari's magic attack zapped the cockatrice quite a bit. However, it didn't finish it off just yet... The creature, now with blackened feathers and clearly not in the best state, would attempt to continue attacking. Sadly enough for it and luckily enough for the others, the ogres would be able to finish off what their two fallen comrades and master had started and would manage take it out. (<span style="color: red">OOC:</span><i>You can describe how if you'd want, but after that magic attack, I figured not to draw out the scene too much.</i>)<br>
<br>
Ceylan, a little shaky, regained his movement. He slowly tested his finger movements. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Thank you...”</b></span> He stammered, regaining his composure. The cockatrice wasn't too strong, this one at least, but if its gaze alone could stun people... Ceylan would imagine even the strongest opponents would struggle against it on their own. As much as he hated the ogres, their numbers had saved them here. They were able to move on a little later, but Ceylan was sure on high alter, not sure if he could expect more of these creatures. <br>
<br>
Luckily, the next few hours of their journey went by without any more unpleasant interruptions. It allowed Ceylan to try starting up a conversation again. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“That magic, did you learn it or your own, or did someone teach you?”</b></span> He was still hoping to get to know a bit more about Mitsunari. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Also, that name. It doesn't sound like the monster language, but I don't know it. Raying? What does it mean?”</b></span><br>
<br>
Malerie would need some time to do her work, but she'd eventually be able to catch up with the group, especially as Ceylan wasn't exactly going fast in his condition. That said, her behaviour had gotten too strange, so Ceylan decided he'd try to figure out just what was going on. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Why did you run off to the river earlier? Did you have some sort of plan?”</b></span></div>

A heavy sigh slipped from the fox's lips as he watched the beast fall to his ogres. It managed to survive his spell and that had impressed Mitsunari. If he weren't here for other reasons he might have tried to subjugate the bird. But for now he would take his victory instead.  Now he was down two ogres unfortunately and he could only hope that their next encounter would be the cardinal and not another threat. <br>
<br>
After walking for some time and having kept to himself and his monsters, who took it upon themselves to drag along some of the bird for food, Mitsunari heard Ceylan's voice again. It was weird to think that not too long ago the priest was a statue. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Raijin."</span> He corrected.<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> "In japan he is worshipped as the god of thunder. But like I said before, there are no gods where I come from. Just tales that help make sense of the world."</span> He used to believe when he was a child and coming here his faith was restored momentarily, but he had yet to see the deities which he was familiar with. Only the one who burnt him.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"I am a self taught caster. Learning as I travel."</span> In truth he had never once thought about seeking out a mentor, but now that he had come so far he doubted he would be able to find one. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"I assume your church assisted you in honing your skills? What is the limit of your magic?" </span>Those Mitsunari had interrogated to find Ceylan were not very clear on what the priest was capable, but they all praised his healing capabilities. <br>

Their journey moved on without encountering any more hostile wild-life. That said, as they were getting deeper into the mountains, the area around them was getting more and more treacherous. Especially the large ogres had trouble following along, as their sizes didn't allow them to easily manoeuvre some ledges. Ceylan and Minstunari, meanwhile, had go to through great lengths to try climbing up some of the rocks (or figure out other options), as the path they were taking clearly wasn't one that was traversed often or easily and some parts were in disrepair due to rock slides taking out chunks of it. <br>
<br>
Even so, Ceylan was interest to hear more about the fox's stories. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“No offence, but you say  that there aren't any gods where you're from. Yet if that world and this world are connected, couldn't it be that the gods here are also present there, yet merely chose not to interrupted with that world for some reason?”</b></span> His question was driven by genuine curiosity, as a world without gods felt too strange an idea to him. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Also, I can't help but wonder, but you do not seem fond of gods, yet you still call upon the name of one. Is there a reason for it?”</b></span><br>
<br>
Ceylan was fairly impressed that Mitsunari was self-taught, as his abilities certainly suggested a good teacher to be behind them. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Part of them, yes. Healing is one of the pillars of the Syncretist Church, although more mundane methods are still more common than magic ones.”</b></span> He fell silent for a bit at the next question. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“It's... complicated.”</b></span> He wasn't sure how much he should say. Eventually, he decided to just be honest. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I tried bringing back the dead once, but I failed. I thought I was strong enough, but perhaps I was not, or perhaps it is something the gods didn't deem to be a good thing. I also can't cure my own legs from the curse bestowed upon them, yet I was able to cleanse a corrupted minor deity once.”</b></span> At the notion of it, he wondered if he should tell Mitsunari about his encounter with the tree deity. <br>
<br>
Before he could, however, their next hurdle arrived. A small, unnatural looking rock formation bridged a deep ravine. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“We'll have to cross here...”</b></span> Ceylan said, trying not to look down. (<span style="color: red">OOC:</span><i> They'd be arriving from the left side, having to cross to the right side.</i>) As he said it, he could feel the wind's currents moving around between these formations a fair bit faster and harder than elsewhere. Narrow. Windy. Slippery, perhaps. He wasn't eager to cross this on maimed legs, it was the only way he knew.</div>

Struggle would not begin to describe Mitsunari's experience as the group ascended the mountain side. The size of his ogres had not gone unnoticed, but the fox would drag them to the edge of the earth  if their legs would carry them there. It seemed that his declaration of there being no gods in his home world might have bothered Ceylan, which was understandable. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"So far I have seen the gods here pluck people from other worlds to bring here and place curses upon people. If they have access to my world have yet have done nothing to build up or break down that world then they do not exist there. They are here, actively participating in the lives of this world and leaving other worlds alone and isolated."</span> All the kitsune could think of was how many people suffered in his old world or how the corrupt triumphed and there seemed to be no hint of divine influence working for or against anyone. Deities did actively live in that world therefore they did not exist. Mitsunari paused for a moment, catching his breath and surveying their surroundings. Ceylan's questioning was starting to irritate him, but he reminded himself that he needed the priest's guidance.<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> "It is simply a name, try not to read too much into it."</span> He declared in regards to the naming of his spell. <br>
<br>
It seemed that Ceylan was full of stories, more so than Mitsunari had expected. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"You must be the most well-traveled priest of this age."</span> He praised, To think that someone would have had so much experience and although he was no fan of the divine, he still considered meeting one a n impressive feat. He was brought back from his thoughts when he heard Ceylan speak about their path and then heard the howling winds. This would be just as dangerous as fighting that cockatrice, perhaps more so. <br>
<br>
No spell in his arsenal would be capable of countering the winds that threatened to sweep them off the bridge and he  doubted Ceylan possessed something to counter it. The fox's eyes went to the ogres. They may be heavy enough to withstand the wind, but they had to hope the bridge could support their weight. He looked around the area once more, thinking further on their possible options. <br>
<br>
He spotted some of the large rock formations and noticed the length of the formations.<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> "Priest."</span> He called to Ceylan. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Think one of those could be knocked down to be used as a sturdier bridge? We could then let the ogres carry us across the bridge without fear that the bridge would break. "</span> He wasn't sure how they'd go about doing that, but their minds might come up with something when put together. <br>

Ceylan observed the hanging rock formations Mitsunari talked about. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Perhaps..?”</b></span> He replied, although very unsure. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I'm not sure how we could bring them down though, let alone in a way that'd allow them to function as a new bridge. Besides... there are rumours that giants live in these mountains. This path should be inaccessible to them, but I'd rather not try my luck by spending a lot of time here and making a lot of noise.”</b></span><br>
<br>
In the end, he shook his head. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I'm sorry, all I can come up with is saying a praying and trying to crawl across one by one. I'm sure it should hold us, at least, but I'm not sure about your ogres.”</b></span> He quickly glossed over what the others were carrying, then sighed. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“It seems like none of us brought any rope along, so I'm afraid we can't use that either.”</b></span> He looked at the narrow bridge, surrounded by howling winds. His tail dropped, but he swallowed his fear. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Shall I go first?”</b></span><br>
<br>
He approached the edge of where the bridge started, feeling the howling winds pull on him already. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Abeona keep us safe.”</b></span> He uttered a small prayer to one of the deities of travellers. This was going to be tough. He wasn't particularly afraid of heights, but any sane person would fear this deadly height. Unless one of the others would stop him, he'd get down on all fours, trying to give the wind as little as possible area to push against, then started to craw onto the bridge. Twice he had to grab hold of the rocks and clasp onto it for dear life, but eventually, he managed to reach the other side. Now it'd be Mitsunari's and Malerie's turns.</div>

<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Giants?" </span>It was infuriating to just be learning about the presence of such threats now that they were this far into their journey. While he was angry at the sudden development, he could not turn back now. First the bird and now this. Mitsunari stepped closer to the ledge and right away he could feel the strength of the wind, it would be dangerous from him to try crossing without the help of the ogres, but he agreed with Ceylan that they would be too heavy.<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> "Damn it."</span> He stepped back from the ledge and turned to look at the red monster, but before he could address them, Ceylan started to cross the bridge. Mitsunari was impressed. He wasn't sure if Ceylan was bravely going first or foolishly trying to inspire them to face this danger. Perhaps it was neither, maybe he was desperate to find this healer. <br>
<br>
<i><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Remain here. We will regroup after I've been healed."</span></i> The fox told his pets. It was his turn now and he wouldn't let his fears of what could happen get in the way of what awaited him. He stepped to the edge of the suspicious looking bridge and then stepped out of his geta. With a deep breath he prepared himself, steeling his nerves. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Just move...if he can do it so can I." </span>Like Ceylan had done, Mitsunari got down and proceeded to crawl across the bridge. His ears were tucked back and his tails were wrapped around his waist  He moved carefully, but could feel the wind beating against his side and his breath being snatched away from him. His geta were in his right hand and his left hand clawed at the ground, searching for any purchase that might help keep him from falling off.  He never once looked back as he moved, his eyes forever forward. <br>

The woman hummed as she listened to the other two talk, somewhat lost in her own world as she pushed the syringe into her bag once she was sure that the insides were completely ready. She watched both of them go over, her eyes searching the bridge earnestly as she wondered if it would give way or not. However, after the second member of the party crossed, she decided that it would be best if she did so too. After all, if two people suffering debilitating curses could cross, why couldn't she?<br>
<br>
She moved across carefully, but still slightly faster than the other two. A small grin was spreading over her face as she looked at the other side, noting that the ogres made no move to follow. Possibly their master didn't trust that the bridge could hold them. That meant that, if she went a seperate way once they reached the healer, more likely than not the man couldn't stop her. Good~<br>
<br>
She finally reached the other end, hopping of the bridge onto solid ground, a grin plain on her face. <span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"So, where to now, Rover?"</span> Her eyes became unfocused as she giggled, remembering that as one of the stereotypical names the other one had known before that. Interesting. It wasn't a name you would really hear around these parts, but it had a cute ring to it. Yes, the priest's nickname was now rover~​</div></div>

Mitsunari would feel the winds pull and tug at him as they strengthened and weakened sporadically from the gentle caress of a breeze to outright attempts to blow him into the abyss. A particular strong breeze managed to move him right up to the edge of the abyss, before his grasping left hand managed to clasp onto a piece of rock that allowed him to hold-on for dear life. Eventually, with roughed up hands and knees, he managed to join Ceylan on the other side.<br>
<br>
Malerie was able to follow suit, although as she moved, she could see cracks form in the bridge below her. A combination of its sudden usage, the howling winds and its already decrepit state had made it start to give in to the elements. She'd be about halfway when the cracks formed broadly enough to even be heard, forcing her into a careful balancing act of going slow as to not be blown off yet fast as to make sure she wouldn't stay on this bridge long enough for it to break down and throw her into the abyss below. Like Mitsunari, however, she eventually made it.<br>
<br>

Ceylan had been watching them with a fast beating heart. The thought that he'd be free if Mitsunari wouldn't make it hadn't even occurred to him. Instead, he'd just been genuinely concerned about the others crossing or not. When they both made it, he gave a deep sigh of relief. That said... <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I'd prefer it if you wouldn't call me that. Ceylan will do just fine.”</b></span> He had no clue what 'Rover' meant, but it sounded like an insult.<br>
<br>
A narrow mountain path allowed them to continue their way forwards, although it was getting dark again. They'd be forced to spent the night in a small natural alcove in the mountainside. After a cold and uncomfortable night on the hard stone soil, they were able to travel onwards at first light the next day. It'd take them all morning, but eventually, Ceylan's tail started to move back and forth. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“There it is!”</b></span> He said, pointing at an odd tower in the distance.<br>
<br>

<div style="text-align: center"><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"><b><u><span style="font-size: 26px">Seikatsu Mitsunari</span></u></b></span>​</div><br>
Embarrassment. That was all Mitsunari felt after he arrived to the other side of the unstable bridge. His bandages now stained with fresh blood on his palms and knees, his kimono dirtied from being dragged over the stone, and still even further to go. He stepped back into his geta and let out a heavy sigh as Malerie crossed the bridge now. Her choice of name for Ceylan was amusing and Mitsunari could see why the priest didn't particularly like it, but he didn't say anything about it. Instead he followed along in silence, mending his wounds and hoping that they didn't stumbled upon any giants.<br>
<br>
When they made camp for the night the kitsune could not rest. Without his ogres he felt vulnerable and the responsibility of making sure Ceylan did not leave him behind was on him alone now. Part of him wanted to put some faith in the canine and believe that he would not flee at the first chance he got, but Mitsunari couldn't bring himself to risk that. So when the sun rose over the mountains and the first light hit his eyes, the kitsune let out a loud yawn, but was on his feet all the same.<br>
<br>
As their journey neared its end and the tower came into view, Mitsunari felt his heart rate pick up and adrenaline wake him up. Hearing ceylan's warning reminded Mitsunari that this was a person who shared Ceylan's faith and that he himself was not an upstanding citizen. So before they started towards their destiny, Mitsunari moved closer to Ceylan and crouched down to be on the same eye level as the dog.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"I trust that you're not planning to do anything to keep this cardinal from healing me?"</span> His tone was threatening as he gently grabbed Ceylan's chin to keep the priest's attention fixed on him. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"And that you will vouch for me if need be. I did not travel all this way for nothing and if I am forced to leave empty handed, then I will do so with several corpses in tow."</span> He let go of Ceylan's face and straightened back up. This was everything he had been waiting for and he would not let it slip through his fingers. His gaze swept across to the doctor, shooting her a glare that communicated the same threat.<br>

<br>
Ceylan was genuinely confused. His tail, once slowly wagging with growing excitement, instantly stopped doing so when Mitsunari was being all-out aggressive and threatening again. Ceylan liked to believe they'd build up a little bit of trust during their journey thus far, but it turned out he was wrong. If anything, Ceylan felt a little insulted. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“If I was planning to get in the way of your healing, I'd have done so sooner. I'm not going to go back on our deal.”</b></span> There was, however, one thing that Ceylan had to make clear. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“That said, someone doesn't just become a Cardinal of our faith without power. It's not someone I'll believe I hold much sway over and it's not someone I expect to be powerless enough to be threatened into submission. If you want to have a chance at getting healed, I'd suggest you play along with whatever he'll ask of us. Even I myself, am not sure how things are going to turn out.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Without saying more, Ceylan turned to start heading up the path towards the tower. He wasn't sure what to expect at the top, but they were able to make it there uninterrupted. Two large doors confronted them, which took some effort for Ceylan to push over. He would've knocked or something, but he couldn't find a door knocker and his fists barely made any sounds against the massive doors. As the doors slowly opened by the canine pushing with all his strength, it revealed a peculiar tower interior. <br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><div class="bbcode-height-restrict" style="height: 400px;"><div class="bbImageWrapper  js-lbImage" title="620agb6m.jpg" data-src="/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fabload.de%2Fimg%2F620agb6m.jpg&amp;hash=b653c6974bd63b3b051bc767818dd40a" data-lb-sidebar-href="" data-lb-caption-extra-html="" data-single-image="1">
		<img src="/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fabload.de%2Fimg%2F620agb6m.jpg&amp;hash=b653c6974bd63b3b051bc767818dd40a" data-url="https://abload.de/img/620agb6m.jpg" class="bbImage" data-zoom-target="1" style="" alt="620agb6m.jpg" title="" width="" height="" loading="lazy">
	</div></div></div><br>
The entire tower had a very 'open' floor plan, as there was nothing separating the various layers at the centre. One could look from top to bottom without issue. However, all sorts of layers, platforms and staircases covered the sides, making room for bookshelves, desks and surprisingly homely looking kitchen and living areas. There were a few rooms off to the sides, but it was unclear what was in them.<br>
<br>


<div class="bbCodeSpoiler">
	<button type="button" class="bbCodeSpoiler-button button--longText button" data-xf-click="toggle" data-xf-init="tooltip" title="Click to reveal or hide spoiler"><span class="button-text">

	</div>
</div><br>
However, before they could get a better view of the area, they were spotted by at least a dozen of peculiar looking Beasts. One of them started by yelling out in shock. <span style="color: #FAEBD7"><b>“Look, the door!”</b></span> Another soon caught on. <span style="color: #AFEEEE"><b>“Is it a guest?!?”</b></span> Their voices echoed through-out the tower, where more voices started to join in. <span style="color: #FFA07A"><b>“We have guests?!?”</b></span> <span style="color: #BA55D3"><b>“Oh my, there are guests! Get the master!”</b></span> <span style="color: #FFA500"><b>“Master, there are guests!”</b></span> <span style="color: #00FA9A"><b>“Master! Master!”</b></span><br>
<br>
Needlessly to say, the many shouting mice and the open tower plan having quite the echo to it was presenting the two with a choir of echo's and shouts. Ceylan was kind-off just standing there, having expected a lot, but definitely not this. It'd be up to the other one to try breaking the ice or to join Ceylan in standing there and hoping the 'master' would show up and put some things to order. Notable, however, was that none of these mice dared to approach them more closely. They did, however, drop whatever task they'd been doing, whether that was reading, cleaning or cooking, to stare at them from the various levels of balcony's and walkways through-out this tower. They'd feel at least 12 sets of eyes stare down on them.</div>

There was no need for a back and forth on the matter, Mitsunari had made his position clear and he would not let warning of the cardinal frighten him. It was to be expected that the person who could defy the curse of deities would be an exceptional power, but Mitsunari was not going to submit to fear. He faced the gods and lived, surely this man or woman would not prove a greater challenge. But he said nothing in response to Ceylan's words, his mind turned towards being restored to his old self. <br>
<br>
Arriving to the door of the tower he watched as Ceylan forced open the entrance, an act Mitsunari would have shunned the priest for, so he didn't lift a finger to offer assistance. As the entrance gave way to the interior, Mitsunari gazed up at the height of the tower and marveled at it's design. But then came the voices, soft, small, and legion. His eyes darted about as he paused and took a half step back, prepared to save himself if need be. Only to find mice.<br>
<br>
His eyes swept over them in some disgust, but also in curiosity. they summoned their master without hesitation. Perhaps the mice themselves were powerless to remove them, or their obedience unrivaled. The fox looked to Ceylan and saw that the canine made no moves or introductions. So he would take the lead. <br>
<br>
Clacking of his wooden shoes signaled his movement as he stepped forward to be the center of attention for all with the ability to perceive him. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"I am Seikatsu Mitsunari!"</span> He declared. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"I have come here in search of your master as only his power can heal my grievous wounds! We have traveled far in search of the Cardinal who we have heard boast a great power."</span> If the cardinal was eccentric as Ceylan warned, then a bit of flattery might gain them some favor. <br>

Mitsunari's voice would soon find itself echo through the tower along with the choir of mouse voices. Sadly enough, their replies weren't all that useful. <span style="color: #FFB6C1"><b>“He's looking for the master!”</b></span> <span style="color: #ADD8E6"><b>“Someone get the master!”</b></span> <span style="color: #00FA9A"><b>“Did you see the master?”</b></span> <span style="color: #7FFF00"><b>“Master, master!”</b></span><br>
<br>
<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Quite now!”</b></span><br>
<br>
A voice echoed from somewhere at the top of the tower. Instantly, all the mice stopped their chatter.  The owner of this voice soon showed himself... namely by jumping down from the top floor. An image of white, light yellow feathers and robes crashed towards the ground, only for the figure to spread out his wings near the bottom and safely glide the last bit down to the floor without issue.<br>

As he folded his wings behind his back and stood up straight, it was clear how tall this man was.  With a good 2.30 meter (7'7”) he towered above his two guests. As he looked at them, his eyes glowed up with a dull yellow glow, after which he sighed. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“A cursed colleague and a cursed murderer.

Ceylan was a bit taken aback by the directness of his colleague, but he decided to step up. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Because of our creed, sir. You are a Syncretist Cardinal, meaning you too strive towards more good in the world. Healing us would be an act stimulating such good in the world, so I humbly request you rid us of our curses.”</b></span> With some [Preach] abilities behind those words, they sounded fairly convincing even considering how simple and direct they were. However, the Cardinal did not seem to be swayed by them.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Then, to the both of you, I'll ask. How would healing you promote any good in the world? Starting with you.”</b></span> He gazed at Mitsunari, firmly enough to make the fox feel like the Owl was staring straight into his soul. There wasn't the slightest shred of fear in the Owl, as the only emotion one could read on him was a mild curiosity. Although this person wasn't a god, it was clear he had obtained some power that touched the divine itself, as his very presence radiated an odd sort of authority, despite the eccentric demeanour and situation. <br>

Mitsunari's ears twitched when he heard the rustling of robes from above then and his eyes moved to find the source of the sound, only to see that a large owl-like creature made a quick descent towards them. Eager as he was, Mitsunari didn't think this man a friend and so he stepped bac k as the bird landed, affording him room to react should the cardinal be hostile.<br>
<br>
The creature was of an impressive stature and Mitsunari found himself staring up at him in awe somewhat. Something about him was familiar, reminiscent in some way to the goddess who had burnt him. But now was not the time for dwelling in the past, the cardinal's first question brought an answer to Mitsunari's mind almost immediately, but the answer Ceylan gave was not to his liking. It forced the Cardinal to change his questioning.<br>

How he wanted to hit the canine over the head for this. But he needed to give an answer the cardinal would appreciate and approve of.<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"><b> "I cannot lie to you, great Cardinal." </b></span>The fox started.<b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> "I am no hero and I would not hope to be one."</span></b> His hand reached up to pull at the bandages around his face and dragged them down to reveal the burnt skin beneath. <b><span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"I have suffered a great deal in this life at the hands of racists humans who bind and shackle those weaker than them. It is my dream to see those people meet an end deserving of their cruelty and people like us set free, yet I cannot make that dream a reality as I am." </span></b>Now was when he would attempt to sway the owl's mind. To be surrounded by feeble mice and to live in such a location, the owl had to think high of himself and all this served to bolster his ego. So he would hope to play to that.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"><b>"It is only with your aide that i can be restored to proper form and see my fighting strength returned to me so that I might see our shared enemies tremble and our kin rise. Help me now and your gift would save thousands more who have suffered like myself. I would be an avenging angel with your help." </b></span>His words carried with them the truth of Mitsunari's experience and the pain of his time in captivity, but also his desire for blood he felt owed to him. Yet he hoped that those words coupled with <b>[Beguile] </b>would sway the cardinal in their direction.<br>

Although it was difficult for beaked creatures to show a smile, it looked suspiciously much like the Cardinal had been smiling through-out Mitsunari's answer. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Your answer seems to be an honest one indeed. Now then, priest, what is yours?”</b></span> He looked at Ceylan.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="font-size: 18px"><span style="color: #00BFFF">Ceylan </span><br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/threads/isekai-hell-characters.504269/page-2#post-11192063" class="link link--internal" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rpnation.com%2Fthreads%2Fisekai-hell-characters.504269%2Fpage-2%23post-11192063&amp;hash=6282e4a5587c95934b694a008b0b1636"><img src="/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FjWhdvet.png%3F1&amp;hash=36e6c0b82850f37ea1384ea37ab63b8b" data-url="https://i.imgur.com/jWhdvet.png?1" class="bbImage " loading="lazy" style="" width="" height=""></a></span></b>​</div><br>
Ceylan was caught off-guard a little. He knew the question was coming, that wasn't the issue, but Mitsunari's honesty and directness were unexpected. He'd attempted the fox to try more than  a little charming, but perhaps this approach was for the best. Ceylan himself had a much simpler answer. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I merely wish to be able to walk freely again and roam around bringing healing and faith to wherever it is needed.”</b></span><br>
<br>
The Cardinal nodded. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Now, let me tell you this. What is the key difference between your answers?”</b></span> He didn't wait for an answer.  <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“There is none. I've learned that words, intentions, desires and even prophecy might change drastically. If I were to undo your curse, priest, only for you to be captured by those Empire slavers to heal their slaves so that they might abuse them all the more without losing productivity, would my act of healing you not bring about all the more despair? If they were to force you to heal their soldiers and fuel their war machine, would you not merely become a cog in a much greater evil? Yet if this criminal's words are true, his quest for vengeance and bloodshed would eventually prevent many from suffering. Healing the one that's seemingly the worse option might be far better than healing a fellow priest. Only the future could tell me, yet the future is unknown... or so I thought.”</b></span><br>
<br>
The Owl pointed to the staircases. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Join me.”</b></span> He commanded, as he led them upwards. He could fly up by himself, but he chose to walk so that his guests may follow. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“It's been a while since I've had guests and these maids are not the most intellectual of companions, so allow me to regale one of my tales.”</b></span> He said, as various mice skittered out of their way. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“You see, when the gods first deemed me worthy of healing magic strong enough to resurrect the life that died before its time, I was ecstatic and desired only to use it to bring back those that I was sure would change the world for the greater good. So, I started my research. I locked myself away here, in this tower, with books of history from all over the world, looking deeply into the past to find the strongest, most virtuous heroes. I wished to assure myself that whomever I brought back was going to change the world for good, after all.”</b></span><br>
<br>
As they walked up the stairs, they passed various bookshelves on the balconies that backed up the  Owls  claim, displaying epics and history books of heroes from all over the continent. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I finally found one. A beast who's blood had dilated with that of the humans, much like yours, taking on more humanoid traits. Even so, he'd been one of the first to strive for the freedom and prosperity of our species. Not through war, but through showing everyone that we were more than just slaves, that we could be heroes and warriors. He was garnering fame and recognition, enough so to start  changing the world, perhaps, but he died during a monster invasion. Refusing to retreat when all hope was lost, hoping to save just one more soul that was retreating.”</b></span> <br>
<br>
They slowly kept going up the stairs, now passing the mid-way point. They were up pretty high already, as the owl didn't exactly keep his pace limited to what their [maimed] conditions could keep up with, forcing Ceylan to keep healing himself just to try continuing up these stairs. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Heroic as his ending might make him out to be, it turned out my assumptions were wrong. What I resurrected wasn't the hero I imagined, but something... worse. I realised too late that all his ideals had vanished, that he was a husk of his former self, no longer wishing to save, but wishing only to destroy. My mistake brought a great danger upon this world. My careful planning ruined by an unknown factor that occurred between life and death, or perhaps during death, I do not know.”</b></span><br>
<br>
As they were getting closer to the top, there were less books and there was more and more magical equipment. Magic crystals, lenses, scrolls, tomes and all sorts of other things of interest and value to a mage. Even including collections of various staves and catalysts. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“So, when the past hides its most precious secrets from me, no matter my attempts, I figured I would look into the future instead.”</b></span> As he said it, he gestured them to some sort of odd looking chair in one of the rooms nearly at the top of the tower. It was surrounded by magic crystals, encircled by carved-in runes and emanating some sort of strange glow. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“This, my guests, is my latest project. It allows me to peer into the futures of those that take place in it. If you wish for my healing, all I ask for you is to take place, to see if the words you spoke shall become true or if much darker futures would await you. To see if my aid will not merely have me repeat my greatest failure.”</b></span></div>

He wasn't certain, but Mitsunari considered the owl's words to be praise and approval of his goal, which reassured the fox. He was on the right path for sure if this wizened creature thought that his plan might be best. However as they ascending the tower's stairs and heard the tales of old heroes, Mitsunari felt that perhaps his chances og being healed were slipping away. His path was not the same as this hero of old that the owl spoke of, a path of which the cardinal seemed to greatly approve of. Even if the hero had become corrupt in death, his living days were the blueprint. Mitsunari was starting to worry. Only his aching body and bleeding wounds distracted him from the doubts which started to fester. Damn this owl for forcing them to walk these stairs. As Ceylan healed himself, Mitsunari did the same. <br>
<br>
<br>
Arriving to the top of the stairs and to the room with a chair within, Mitsunari listening to the owl. A device to gaze into the future was genius and Mitsunari found himself wanting it for himself. But he was concerned with what the cardinal might see. While he wanted to destroy the Empire he did have much larger ambitions than that. His glanced at Ceylan and then back to the chair. They would need to do this if they were to be healed. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"I'll go first." </span>He declared boldly as he stepped forward.<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> "All I have to do is sit down?"</span> The kitsune minded his step as he moved to the chair and wrapped his tails around his waist to sit down.  He was concerned about the safety of this device, but between the three of them their healing capabilities should be enough if anything bad happened.<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> "I am ready Cardinal." </span><br>

<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Very well.”</b></span> The Cardinal said, as Mitsunari sat down. As the Cardinal picked up a tome, Mitsunari would suddenly feel as if gravity drew him into the chair, making it impossible to get up again. The Cardinal started chanting in a language neither he nor Ceylan could make sense off and as the Cardinal's words resounded through the entire tower, the magic circles started to light up, crystals started to glow and catalysts started to shake in place. It was pretty clear some high level magic was being channelled and it was all going to be directed at one particular fox...<br>
<br>
Immediately after the rapidly rising tension in the tower reached its climax, Mitsunari would experience a few seconds of completely nothingness. For just a few seconds, he wasn't aware of who he was, what he was or where he was. He just simply 'was' and that was good. Then the images started flooding in. No, it wasn't just flooding, it was torrent of them. It wasn't just one future that he was seeing. No, it was all of them.<br>
<br>
One second, he was seated on a throne in a vast yet empty East Empire palace, surrounded by nothing other than the ogres that trembled in fear at the mere sight of him. A feeling of emptiness and hollowness accompanied the vision. Another moment, he was standing in a pool of blood. His own blood. A sword was piercing him through the chest, leaving him to bleed out alone and forgotten. A feeling of solitude and regret overwhelmed him. Another moment, he was caged again by slavers. He felt them spit at him in disgust and contempt. Bitter rage and frustration tore him apart. Another moment, he was sitting in a house, far off from the known world, watching children play whilst lovingly embracing a shape who's form remained unclear to him. Happiness and love warmed his heart. Another moment, he was standing on a battlefield. Countless corpses of beasts, humans, fae and ogres surrounded him, in his hand a catalyst that was casting magic that reigned havoc on everything around him, yet in his eyes a dead and lifeless stare. He felt nothing.<br>
<br>
There was one vision, however, that returned multiple times, yet in different forms. A clan of Kitsune, those of his kind. A simple town, hidden away somewhere. People casually chatting with him. Simple, everyday business. Then he saw that same village burned to the ground. Charred remains of its inhabitants. He himself was holding a torch. He did not know why, but he'd feel intense grief and despair. However, only seconds later, he could see that village again. This time, he was training people whilst his ogres building walls. They were preparing for something. He felt fear, but also hope. Another vision, him and a clan of Kitsune were travelling through a desolate wasteland, desperately trying to support each-other to reach some unknown destination. He was walking at the forefront, looking back to see the blurry faces of those who'd entrusted their lives to him. A feeling of gratitude mixed in with a feeling of being burdened by a great burden overwhelmed him.<br>
<br>
Then, all of a sudden, he could hear a choir of voices call out to him.<br>

<br>
With cold sweat coating his fur, he'd be pulled back into reality. To his surprise, the Cardinal had the same intense look upon him, clearly having witnessed much of the same as Mitsunari had. Eventually, however, the Cardinal broke their silence.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“So many roads that lead to despair. So many roads that lead to irredeemable violence.”</b></span> Oddly enough, tears had formed on the Cardinal's eyes. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Yet they exist. Roads leading you to good. They exist, still.”</b></span> The Cardinal looked at Ceylan. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Tell me, high priest. Should my aid rely on the chance alone? Should I say his life has too much chance of falling into despair and cast him down right here and now? Or should I aid him, should I hope and pray to the gods that he may find one of the few roads that lead to the greater good?”</b></span><br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center"><b><span style="font-size: 18px"><span style="color: #00BFFF">Ceylan </span><br>

Ceylan, having witnessed none of the visions, but having seen and felt much of the magic, needed some time to find the courage to speak up again. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Yes. I believe that the act of granting him the ability to find those roads that lead to good is, in itself, a good we must commit ourselves to.”</b></span><br>
<br>
The Cardinal gave Ceylan a feint smile. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Very well.”</b></span> With a simple wave of the Cardinal's staff. Mistunari would feel something he hadn't felt in a very long time. Painless. His cursed burn wounds were no longer covering his body. After spending so much time under constant suffering, it was almost as if his mind still wasn't used to how it felt to not feel any pain at all.</div>

Mitsunari was unprepared for the spell's activation and had not expected it to be so aggressive, but he was even less prepared for the spell itself. Images and sounds flashed in his mind like memories and they brought with them a flood of emotions. Some of the visions he welcomed and others he was curious about, but did not shun. As the spell ran its course he heard the voices calling to him and gasped as he awoke from the dreamlike state.  He breathed heavily while sweat ran down his face and his hair clung to his skin. It took him a second to get oriented, but he heard the cardinal ask Ceylan of his opinion. This was the moment of truth and Mitsunari looked at the canine with a focused glare.<br>
<br>
Much to his surprise, the priest vouched for him and before he knew it, another spell was being cast. Suddenly the bandages no longer clung to his skin, and the unbearable pain that he had become accustomed to was absent. He moved to stand up and moved as if he still suffered from his injuries. Then he peeled away the bandages, ripping them off his body to reveal a big toothy grin stretched across his now healed face. Nervousness and joy gave way to a soft chuckle rising up within the fox as his tails swayed happily behind him. They too now free of scorch marks and fully restored to their fluffy beauty. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Thank you."</span> Mitsunari said softly to the cardinal as he bowed his head.<br>
<br>
Then he approached Ceylan with a small smirk.<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> "You have one a great service for me, High Priest, and I will one day repay you for this kindness. So should you ever have need of my magic or knowledge, I will come to your aid." </span>He placed his right hand over his heart, swearing this promise to Ceylan. <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Now it is your turn."<br>

Mitsunari's words were taken with a fair dose of healthy scepticism. Even someone as priestly as Ceylan couldn't easily forget the feeling of having his legs eaten and he knew fully well these words came from the man who'd coldly ordered that to be done. Even so, Ceylan meant what he'd said, so he too, would hope that this act and his forgiveness would put Mitsunari on one of those few roads towards good. Perhaps the fox actually meant what he'd said? Ceylan certainly hoped so. That said, he was too nervous to try to reading him, as the fox's last sentence was clear as day. <br>
<br>
Was Ceylan getting cold feet now? He'd seen what Mitsunari had been put through and he was honestly nervous beyond imagination. That said, he steeled his nerves and stepped forwards, sitting down as well. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I'm ready, Cardinal.”</b></span><br>

<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Very well.”</b></span> The Cardinal said, as he started up the process once more. Everything went the same as before, although this time around, Mitsunari was able to witness it as a bystander. He felt less of the effects, but saw far more of them. It was as if the entire tower was shaking on its foundation as the Cardinal cast his magic upon Ceylan, who was pressed back into the chair like Mitsunari had been. However, as the Cardinal was about to cast his magic, something started to glow among the [Bindings of Elisiul] it was a golden flower that suddenly erupted in an array of bright light. Dragging not just Ceylan and the Cardinal into the visions, but Mitsunari as well. [<i>Using [Miracle] asset.</i>]<br>
<br>
Darkness. Nothingness. It wasn't clear where they were, only that they were. Then, a sound was heard. The cry of a baby. A Human baby. People were speaking. It was an odd language, but it sounded faintly like an older middle-eastern, Semitic language. Visions suddenly appeared. A baby was placed upon an altar. A crying mother was held back by odd robed-people. One of those held out a knife. Without a second thought, he plunged the knife into the child. <br>
<br>
The visions faded. All was dark again. Sounds were heard again. Sounds of a grieving, heart-broken family. However, all of a sudden, the cry of a baby was heart. The grieving stopped. A voice was heard. “But... he was dead.” The voice sounded panicked. Fearful. “He was stillborn. This... this  can't be!” Dread. Worry. Hostility. Those were the emotions carried by the voices that were heard. Then, the single gentle voice of a woman. “Don't worry. Don't worry dear. I'll make sure they won't harm you.” Silence. Then, moments later, the voice spoke again. “It's okay, my child. Even if I can't be there for you, I promise I'll pray for you, every single day of my life. I promise. I promise.” The sounds of a weeping mother overwhelmed even those listening with the bitter grief of having to give up on something so precious and irreplaceable. <br>
<br>
The visions of the past faded once more. Instead, they suddenly found themselves on a hill. Surrounding them were flowers. Poppies. Thousands upon thousands of golden poppies, as far as the eye could see. They could hear a voice speak to Ceylan, although it sounded like the entirety of this realm was speaking to him.<br>

That's when the vision ended and the Cardinal's magic kicked in. The visions of the future arrived. Ceylan could see himself chained up. Someone insulted him. Telling him to heal more or to be forced to go without food. He was in horrible shape, left only alive for his gift of healing. He felt pain so great he couldn't feel anything else. Another vision, he was in the Fae nation. He seemed to be free at first, but that proved to be a lie. His eyes were hollow and empty. His mind was no longer his own. He'd been made into the perfect tool for the Fae warmongers, ready to take on the Empire once and for all. Despair filled him, as he was aware of what he did, yet his mind and body were no longer his own. Another vision. He was in a town, talking to... Tia. He was smiling as he let her try some candy. She was smiling back at him. He felt truly happy. Another vision. He was standing in a city. Surrounding him was nothing, but death and despair. A deep fear filled him. This was his fault. He'd trusted them. He trusted them and they'd taken advantage of it. The vision didn't show him who he'd trusted or why, but it filled him with a deep sense of dread. Another vision. He was seated in a church, wearing the gown of a Cardinal. Before him an endless stream of people seeking his aid. He felt exhausted. He felt stuck. He felt caged by his own responsibility and powers. Another vision. He was laying in bed. Someone was laying besides him. Their shape unclear. He felt happy, yet like something was eating away at him. Like he'd abandoned something important to pursue his own happiness instead. Another vision. The Cardinals had all gathered. They were all looking at him. They were crowning the new Pope of the Syncretist Faith. He felt a sinful feeling. He was proud. Yet also scared. Scared of the many burdens he was taking upon himself. Scared of what failing would entail. <br>
<br>
Finally, he awoke. He was drenched in cold sweat and his eyes had started to tear up. He was visibly shaken, both by the visions of the past and those of the future. So much so that he couldn't even speak for the moment.<br>
<br>
The Cardinal spoke up. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“A gift from Elisiul itself. Intentions as pure as they can be. A strong desire for good. Yet so much tragedy. Oh, so much tragedy.”</b></span> Once again, the Cardinal's eyes had started to tear up. He turned towards Mitsunari. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Tell me, should I strike him down right here and now, so that he can meet the gods before he has to suffer? Should I give him the guarantee of what's good for him, or should I heal him of his curse and give him the freedom to suffer through his life first, hoping to find those very few roads that'd allow him to find his happiness in this life?”</b></span></div>

Mitsunari stepped back and let Ceylan move forward to undergo the odd process of having his future read. While the priest was the target of the spell, Mitsunari was fixed upon his body. he'd spent so much time running around lie a victim that he had forgotten what he truly looked like. Now he was healed, now he was himself again. Then came the Cardinal's voice breaking his self-centered fantasy.<span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)"> "I believe Ceylan needs to live. Heal him and if he is to suffer, at least he will save others and bring some good to the world in doing so."</span> The kitsune turned his eyes from the cardinal to the priest. Mitsunari cared little for Ceylan's ideology and worship of the gods, but the man was a source of light in a dark world and those were all too rare as Mitsunari had learned first hand. Ceylan seemed like the type to choose to suffer if it meant he could continue saving the world, so Mitsunari would support that ideal.<br>

<span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Very well.”</b></span> As before, the Cardinal motioned with his staff upon hearing Mitsunari's reply. The bindings around Ceylan's legs would slowly vanish, until nothing but untainted flesh remained. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“I sincerely pray that the gods will lead you down the few paths that will not only make you a tool for other's happiness, but that you can one day find your own as well.”</b></span><br>
<br>

A bit weary, Ceylan stood up. The emotions from what he'd seen of his past and future still weighed heavily on his mind, but even so, the feeling of being able to stand again on his own legs, without needing constant healing, without being in constant pain... it was amazing. His tail showed, as it started to sway back and forwards in a rhythmic pattern. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Thank you.”</b></span> Ceylan said, both towards the Cardinal and Mitsunari, who'd backed him up to get here.<br>
<br>
However, before they could make their next move, the Cardinal looked at them. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Ah. It seems the giants have awoken. I suggest you remain here for the night, otherwise my efforts end up being in vein and the reading of your futures gets annulled by a giant's stomach. Also, I suggest you don't return down the same path. Those ogres of yours ventured out to find something to eat and attracted one of giants while at it. They're currently becoming a meal themselves. There's another path down south, which should be safe now that the ogres travelled eastwards.”</b></span><br>
<br>
The owl turned around. <span style="color: #EEE8AA"><b>“Girls, show them a room, will you?”</b></span><br>
<br>
As he called out, a few of the mice maids would come up. They'd prepare a decent bed, decent food and decent drink for them. Nothing to write home about, but clean and healthy. Enough to get them started well on their way going back during the next day. Thanks to the Cardinal's advise, they were able to descent down the mountain without any issues. Thanks to their conditions being healed, it could even be considered a pleasant hike through nature. <br>

This is the idea of how to use maimed titles. Run into powerful npcs that make the world just a bit of a bigger place. Looks like you guys went the healing route. In using your maimed titles, it wasn't really in question you would be healed, but the monster likely wouldn't have been welcomed into the hermitage so it all worked out.<br>
<br>
<b>Aftermath</b><br>
folks were healed and fates now spiraled outward with near infinite possibility, but many paths had concerning ends that may haunt the characters. It's a hard thing to make risky decisions while knowing any one of those risky decisions could play out like one of the bad endings witnessed. <br>
<br>
The beastman samurai tasked with watches over the northeastern region of the Republic would eventually get word of the sighting of ogres in the hills. Mitsunari would be at extra risk if he remained in the area with his minions.<br>
<br>
<b>Rewards</b><br>
<br>
Ceylan - 63 points (narration)<br>
<br>
<span style="display: inline-block; text-indent:2.5em">Ceylan has been healed of his stigmata and may remove the maimed title from the equipped titles. His speed stat will return to pre-maimed status.</span><br>
<br>
Mitsunari - 42 points<br>
<br>
<span style="display: inline-block; text-indent:2.5em">Mitsunari has been healed of his burns and no longer experiences negatives to his actions and may remove the maimed title from the equipped titles. </span><br>
<br>
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">[Abuser F] - character has willfully caused harm to "innocents". Character is now a criminal until slain or redeemed.<br>
<br>
</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">[Vandal E] - character committed willful destruction of property belonging to "innocents". Character is now a criminal until slain or redeemed.</li>
</ul><br>
<u>Partial Participants</u><br>
<br>
Malerie - ??? points (grade may be provided in the future if character is properly moved to new character thread)</div>
