This place was strange. All of these building were different from the ones Koji was used to. The people dressed differently too. It was all rather disorienting for the small spirit, it made him homesick. Everywhere he looked, there was some reminder that he was someplace completely different.

It had been a week was sent here in a box, and after waiting a bit, it was too much for him, and broke out of it himself, setting off into this strange new environment. He had avoided the largest area with the tall stone towers, setting off into the are of many homes, as strange as they looked.

”These people live like the electricity they surround themselves with. Fast and impulsive. They take little time to gain peace of mind, body, and spirit.” He said, kneeling on the roof of a building, taking the time to meditate and think over what had happened, as he did every day.

”Yet even they, as swiftly as they live, have a residence. Without one, I am but a rōnin, wandering without honor. I must find someone worthy of my devotion, and dedicate myself thoroughly.” He finished getting up, picking up his true form, a wooden kendo sword, and once more tying it to his back before taking off, hopping along the rooftops.

Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted something however, causing him to stop. This was familiar to him. The architecture put him at ease, and at once, he understood where he must go. The gaps between his mask flickered with sparks, betraying his excitement, the air around him becoming charged. He began to move once more, his movement brimming with purpose. Koji quickly found himself in front of the gate, staring up at the wooden doors.

”Faltering now would be a folly, as I have already come so far.” He thought, attempting to reach for the knocker, his arm failing to reach. After several attempts, he lept up, hanging on with both hands. Pushing himself off the door with his feet, he made 3 resounding thuds that echoed through the wood before letting go.

Da'lon was practicing her Soft Paw, it was a form she was developing for herself, to follow the flow of an attacker and using their energy against them. She also developed Strong fist, which was intended as a form of doing damage to an attacker.

Never mixing the two forms, they each had a specific day in the week, as to not mix but it was perfect because she always thought two days a week was perfect for training. Today however was Soft Paw.

In her garden Da'lon had planted bamboo in a pond, to make use of with her unorthodox training methods, though with her power she knew martial arts and was able to effectively choose the best training methods depending on the desired results.

One bamboo just as tall as her knee and another, equal to her in terms of length and though there where more of them she had no use for them at this moment. Da'lon begun by standing on the bamboo which was smaller, lifting her free foot to reach for the sky while her body hanged over the pond. With momentum she leaned her sky high foot on the taller bamboo before she lost momentum and fell.

Now, came the actual training into gear, lean to much on the taller bamboo and she would glide down into the pond between the two bamboo but lean too little and she would fall of the smaller bamboo. The real test however was the wind, she was to anticipate the wind and to adjust accordingly.

That was when she heard the knocker, Da'lon jumped of the bamboo and spun her body twice in the air and landed gracefully. Her entrance was a little over the top, while in traditional Japanese fashion, the gate was taller and heavier then any traditional dojo gate. She opened it by technique rather then strength, its use was to test a specific set of students.

There where all maner of sentient creatures and Da'lon didn't bat an aye at what she saw. "Hello,my name is Da'lon, master of the arts, do you seek guidance?"

”Greetings. My name is Koji. Currently, I lack a surname, so please refer to me by my given name.” He said, bowing towards the much taller individual. He was surprised to see the manner of being that had answered the door, but during his short time here, he had come to understand that this was an intermingled hotspot of many creatures and cultures.

”It pains me to admit it, but I am in need of more than simple guidance. I was abandoned by my family home, and was sent here. As of now, I am but a Raijin, wandering without a home.” He stated, introducing himself and his situation, preparing to swallow his pride for the following request. ”Please! Allow me to remain here until I am able to arrange proper residence for myself! I am willing to do whatever you wish!” He said, forcing it out, bowing deeper.

”I don’t require food or water, so there is no need to invest in those things. If you end up getting tired of me I am willing to go off wandering once more. But even if its only for a night or two, allow me to stay here!” He asked, hoping to make it clear how important this may be. The elements had begun to wear on his true body, and even a small time of rest would allow him to properly touch up on it.
