Yoshioka Village: The Savior | Job | Makuna Blackflower

I remember when I was truly a goddess.

Garbed in her only attire, a regal white dress with red boots and gloves and a collar, Makuna, wondered the dark and rocky path with the demeanor of someone who had places to go and business to settle. In truth, she was only traveling aimlessly with the puffed up ambition of her eighteen-year-old self driving her further into the unknown parts of a world few could proudly call home: the Dark Celestial Spirit World. Her hair was so much longer but tired back into a low ponytail. Other than that, there was little difference between her nineteen-year-old self and her eighteen-year-old self.

The world was so dark, never end to the natural darkness save for artificial lights: glass lanterns filled with fire that lit the woman's way. The flames flared and revealed a less than pleased look upon Makuna's face. Her apathy extended with each step forward as the journey convinced her there was nothing of note that way. Her father, her friends, and even her smallest acquaintances were beginning to seem correct in that there were no points of valor or honor in Makuna's near future. She was beginning to feel like a complete joke.

No, I will make sure these lands learn to respect the name Blackflower.

There it was: the fire that burned intensely in her heart. Her family name would be the name of the Dark Celestial Spirit World. It would be a royal name, the word that could only be said with a transcendent dignity. Her father would be proud and her sister would abandon her foolishness and return to their, away from the savage world of mortals.

I'm not naive, I'm on a mission.

Makuna paused in her footwork, stopping to gaze at a silhouette of smoke in the far distance that form a variety of clouds. A scorching light shown out in the distance ahead of the trail, the signs of fire. Any light beyond the lanterns would be enough to catch anyone's attention in the Dark Celestial Spirit World; it was a commodity after all.

Makuna's apathetic expression did not waiver in the face of a frantic man fleeing from the same direction as the smoke and fire. His pale face was sweating with anxiety; faces in that world were always pale with a lack of sunlight. With Makuna making no intention of moving out of his way, prompting the man to stumble to his side to continue running without running into the eerily-calm woman. The man paused for a second and considered pulling the woman along with him so they could escape the disaster, but he put the thought aside and worried after his own hide.

The pale woman did not bother to turn her gaze to he coward or even question why he ran. She expected to find out for herself soon enough.

The glowing red eyes of the dog-like creatures gave away the source of danger in the matter of an instance. Before Makuna could even take a step forward, the shadow jackals came running toward her. Having been after the fleeing man, the jackals paused as they came across Makuna's path to examine her before growling rather loudly. The dogs had bits of saliva hanging from their mouths and their teeth (also made of shadows) were as sharp as a canine's could be.

"Mindless beasts who know nothing of civility." Makuna's brow lowered and the corner of her lips turned into a disappointed frown as she commented on the shadow jackals.

Makuna's eyes closed and she drifted off to sleep, her body wobbling back and forth yet miraculously staying poised enough to keep her on her feet. The two shadow jackals flared their eyes as they were certain the chance to attack. Both of them ran forward, fully intent on mauling the woman.

A great yelp echoed into the air as both of the jackals received a giant slash, one receiving the slash on its head and the other receiving a slash on side of its body. The jackals backed away for a moment to register what had just happened, all while Makuna returned from her slumber and opened her eyes.

The bolder of the two jackals growled at Makuna and jumped forward in an attempt to pounce her. With a general look of annoyance, Makuna raised her hand and slashed at it with her claws causing the beast to fall apart into a puddle of shadows, which in turn fluttered off as if it were still sentient. As her gaze focused on the odd site, the other jackal took the opportunity to rush forward and bite at her leg, piercing her red boots with it teeth. The woman retaliated with an easy slash at its face, turning it into a puddle of shadows as well.

Annoying mutts.

Suspecting there was more to the matter, Makuna continued upon the dirt trail, though without much enthusiasm and as if she had all the time in the world. She did not know what to expect, but she did not feel the sort of fear that should have been natural. Her confidence, it seemed, was becoming borderline cocky. once she passed by several large rocks, the woman found the source of the ruckus to be a quaint little village with houses made of straw, rock, and other mediocre materials that the inhabitants could get a hold of. It was the sort of thing one would expect to find in the countryside of a medieval world.

The source of the fire and smoke came apparent as Makuna found a mass of villagers huddled together and fending off a pack of four shadow jackals with touches. The creatures seemed cautious of the flames but still entirely aggressive. It was difficult for Makuna to comprehend how an entire village was so fearful of the creatures given how simply they were to put down (for her anyway).

The four shadow creatures sense Makuna's presence and immediately turned their gaze toward her. On pure instinct, the four rushed toward her. The villagers were no help but it did not matter: Makuna closed her eyes once more before forcing her magic power out and slashing each shadow jackal, producing a chorus of yelps from the hounds.

From that point, it be came a rabid fistfight between four jackals and a bitch. Makuna and the jackals exchanged their claws and bites but Makuna was the ultimate winner. She merely received a couple bits in her thighs and legs, somewhat ruining her boots. When it was over, the pack of jackals devolved into shadow puddles and fled.

Before she could even dust herself off, the villagers all cheered and nearly rushed her for a group celebration, though they resisted after getting a better look at her annoyed expression. Instead, they offered her rest and lodging. Without a hint of gratitude, the dream goddess accepted.

For the time being, Makuna was their savior.
