The lavender haired woman was happy that she had been the first to wake from slumber today. If her new apprentice or his pet had been the ones to wake first and waltzed into the front cavern where she had laid in a blanket provided by them? They would have seen her clothing scattered all over the floor due to her habit of stripping her clothing off while she slept, it seemed her body had somewhat taken her power’s dislike of fabric between the two forces. Of course, now that she was awake the wind user was fairly decent in terms of her body being covered, wearing the same polka dot bikini top from the night before along with the pajama pants her magic had torn to make into daisy dukes. However, she had used the torn parts of her pants, tying them around her wrists to make trailing things for her wind to play with if it got boring, an effort at appeasing it lest the entity decide her skimpy outfit wasn’t skimpy enough. Anyways she was already sitting and waiting for the two of them in the cavern, a new light lacrima set up as a deterrent for them setting any sort of fire within the space, self protection. “Dude, you up yet? We have a fishing contest to go win.” it was something that paid quite well from her experience, so she wanted to get going towards that objective swiftly as she could. “You’ll want to bring your equipment thought because a Kraken lives off shore somewhere near the contest, occasionally someone fishes it up and the mages partaking have to fight it off.” she really wondered no one had bothered moving the contest to a safer location, but it was hardly her problem since she knew herself to be very capable of taking the beast down with ease, she had been a whole rank lower with weaker magic the last time she saw it.

Yazuki awoke to his mentor's words. He was not too keen on waking up to someone else's call, even Miva ticked him off when she did so. He heard about what the plan was and quickly got up, walking out unto the entrance of the cave with just a pair of boxers on and looking down at the girl who had been yelling. It wasn't like him to worry about others seeing how he was dressed, and at this point, she was being annoying. He glared at her, having woke him from his slumber earlier than normal, then turned into a bolt of lightning to head down to the tarn where he washed. He knew she probably wouldn't know where to find him, but he liked to be clean before he went anywhere and had grown accustomed to it. A kraken.. He had read about one when he was young, but never actually seen one. But it was in water right? Surely this would be an interesting turn of events as he could now mess with an enemy in the element that Lightning has the most strength against. He would happily continue to wash himself.

Miva ignored the calls, trying to sleep a little more. She might sit this one out, she thought, but surely Yazuki would be another hour to get ready. She could care less about the money, if she did go, she had a cunning plan to catch the fish, and she would definitely not have any problems cheating. Fish are in water after all, she thought, so lightning would stun them easier.

Jiyu was the type to easily give out commands for other's, request they wake up at such hours. Of course? This was only because and only when she had an objective they were related to, a reason to believe they should be professional and early rising. Most of the time she tried to keep to herself for reasons like that, the fact she could expect the same things she could do from others sometimes. However when she believed someone should be obeying her ideals there was hell to pay when they didn't, actually, it was more of an annoyance debt to be honest unless her assertive face took over the wind user was a fairly peaceful existence, almost passive. Anyways he came out in his boxers and this was kind of alright considering how she herself dressed, she would prefer he put some shorts or a long shirt on, but hey it was none of her business how he walked around his house so long as he wasn't buck ass naked. Then he teleported away with lightning.

"Miva if you want to come, hurry up, I'm going to have to show him real fast that it's stupid to be spiteful against me." she was an entity based on vengeance after all! Let one of us play~ she heard the voice of one of her other faces and quickly agreed that until it was decided they were heading towards the mission, one could take over. If she was going to interact with the twerp who got her killed often now? He was going to have to get used to the other three sides of her, or at least two of them. Suddenly markings on her face appeared to match the lavender of her hair, the sickeningly happy side of her.

Since he had landed with a thunder clap giving her a general idea? It did not take Jiyu long to pinpoint his rough location, not even thinking the scent of water might mean he was bathing because she thought he likely had a room for that in the cave. "landing with that loud thunder clap, makes tracking you beyond easy." the female appeared sitting on top of a rock, legs crossed, not yet realizing what she had walked up to, since she was a bit tired from traveling so far, so swiftly.

Yazuki stood naked about to enter the tarn as Jiyu had spoken and turned quickly to see who it was, only to become embarassed as soon as he noticed she hadn't noticed yet. He stood there paralyzed for a few moments, only to slowly back away and slip on the wet surface from the rain that was falling from the storm and fall with a loud splash into the water. Water filled his nostrils as he tried to reorient himself and got his head poking back out of the water. He coughed from the inhalation, then glared at Jiyu once again. "I was just taking a bath," he said in a deep irritated voice. Sometimes he wondered what he would do in an instance like this, but the only one that he had thought about it with, it had already happened around. He sat with his body completely submerged up to his neck, trying to figure out what to do now that his mentor had rudely interrupted his enjoying the rain for but a moment before he started his bath. "If you wouldn't mind now that you got to see me naked, could you please go get Miva ready. She won't get out of bed unless you wake her up properly. She said she wanted to come but I doubt she will unless poked."

The wind user could often be very oblivious only really driven by and aware of her goals. Some might think of it as sad or callous, but she was fine being that way, it allowed her to focus intensely on the things she deemed important without getting distracted. Thus since she was only thinking of their impending mission, she was not in the mindset to notice the nudity of her apprentice with any degree of speed, in fact, if it was not pulled to her attention and she walked away for some reason, the wind user would likely never realize. She was just looking at the back of his head, after all, nothing else. Plus Kazehime had poor vision, to begin with, and she was at the edge of the field of her sight, his figure was not clear despite the fact a normal human would be able to see everything fairly clearly from where she stood. The only thing Jiyu could really make out was when he slipped and fell backward into the water, feet carrying her swiftly to check on him and help if he had rammed his head against rocks or something. Of course, luck decided to screw the woman over because she didn’t notice how slick the ground was and soon found herself falling, terror flashing through her as she realized the man who normally caught her was not here to help her. Within seconds she felt her head strike something hard, leg scraping against the side of the tarn as water surrounded her.

Now the wind user was a good swimmer, she spent years on ships but swimming and suddenly being plunged into water tall as you were, getting your mouth, nose, and ears filled with it? Happened to be two different things entirely. Jiyu couldn’t properly orientate herself as she felt her head hazy from where she had rammed it into something, maybe she even hit her cranium on the apprentice she thought of saving if he was in trouble. It didn’t matter what she hit herself on, it mattered that she lost consciousness long enough to start the process of drowning and in her panic could not tell which way was up, one hand rising to her throat maybe not realizing she was under the water, wondering why she couldn’t breathe. Damn, she really didn’t want to die by drowning, that would be miserable and she had a mission today!

Yazuki watched as the woman tried to somehow save him, but fell into the water instead. At first he didn't realize she was having problems. Did she not realize that he would be fine? His head was clearly above water and easily seen... When she started not to come back up was when there was a problem, and he quickly grabbed her, one arm to her back and one under her legs as she seemed to struggle still. He thought she was just having problems still with the fact of nearly drowning as she continued to flail around as she came above water. He looked at her tenderly for a moment holding her close before she had time to speak, trying to calm her with his words.

"It's fine I got you, I got you, no need to struggle," He said holding her close to his bear chest, not thinking anything of her still struggling. Her struggle seemed light, like that of a child or less even, and he wondered how she actually functioned at the moment. He was sure it was just the situation of nearly drowning as Miva rounded the corner, blinking herself awake.

"I heard splashes, I just came to make sure you aren't getting it on..." Her voice trailed off as a sly smile crossed her face. "Oh, I will leave you two be, I am perfectly ok with this," she said as she walked back around the corner snickering.

Yazuki moved over to the side of the tarn and gently set Jiyu down, looking at her with worry. "You seem weak are you ok? Is there anything I can do for you?" He looked over the fairly attractive girl and began to think of Frey. He still didn't know what had happened with her, but she seemed to want to be around him almost always now, but lately she had disappeared from the face of the earth. He didn't know where to find her, and he didn't know his feelings towards the way she acted towards her. She was still young, after all, and though he did have an attachment to her, it felt weird. He loved her for sure, but the thought of how old she had been just a few months before. She looked older now, but was she really able to be with him, and was it okay for him to be with someone like that? Would her mother approve?

She was drowning and logically the woman knew she needed someone to help her, she was too confused to save herself due to banging her head. However from the very second Yazuki set his hands on the wind user to aid her? It seemed she forget everything, in fact, her vision went entirely black as if the light never existed in the universe and her blood thundered blocking her ability to hear anything, water still blocking up her nose as she realized the warmth against her body. Most people would be happy to be held by another in this manner, but Jiyu was not most people and past experience only detailed pain at the hands of a man, no matter how they held her. She didn’t have voice over the fact she had just been drowning it was just animalistic sounds of panic, near screeches and whimpers emitting from her throat as she failed trying to push him away from her. Even if she had developed strong magic for this purpose it didn’t come to her head right away, fists shoving weakly and sharp claws unable to make a dent due to not having the strength behind them to do so.

“NO!” she finally found her voice as he tightened his hold on her, the word leaving in a shrill scream, crimson eyes trembling unfocused, sightless. “NO! NO! PUT ME DOWN!” she started shouting. “LET ME GO! STOP! NO! NO! NO” her screams came very close together, extremely high pitched as if she thought she could use her voice as a weapon against him, leg’s kicking as she squirmed madly. “RELEASE ME! STOP! CEASE!” her mind searched for any words it could conjure. “DESIST! NO! GET AWAY!  NO! HALT!” she was shrieking so loud it would have to be painful for anyone hearing, if her ears were working right she would be bleeding from them likely. “UNHAND ME! QUIT IT! NO! NO! NO! NO!” terror was flooding her veins as she felt tears streaking down her wet face as he gently set her down, but she didn’t feel it as gentle, she just felt the fact she had been put down!

“GET AWAY FROM ME!” her feet kicked out, trying to push whoever had grabbed her away, even though she did not have the strength to do so. “DON’T TOUCH ME! NO! NO! NO! KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF ME!” her hand picked up a rock that it had touched and she tossed the small stone, not that it would do any damage if it hit, but the weak woman still threw it. “NOT AGAIN! PLEASE! NO! PLEASE” she kept scrambling backward once it seemed her body remembered it could flee not that she was not being held, but her movement was weak, sloppy as if she didn’t remember how to move. “I’ll be good, please don’t, I'm sorry, no please, please no, don’t please, no, no, no….” her claws tried to dig into the dirt as she fumbled and fell onto her face, curling into a fetal position, hugging her own tail as her body trembled, hyperventilating as tears streamed down her hazy eyes. Numerous cuts appearing on her body from her tender skin contacting the rough ground. “No, no. no. no…” she kept repeating it over and over, and over, terrified.

Yazuki watched as his mentor seemed to have a mental break down from him touching her. It hadn't quite dawned on him what her problem was until she started in on her last bit. Something had happened to her, something he didn't yet know, and it ate at him. He slowly rose from the water and walked over to her, sitting cross legged as he looked around for Miva. "Miva, my gear please, I may be forgoing my normal morning ritual. There are more important things."

Without hearing more than wings beat as the exceed went to get his things, Miva disappeared to appear moments later holding his gear. Meanwhile he studied his mentor. Something seemed off. For such a powerful individual, she didn't seem physically strong, and mentally, she seemed to hold even more scars. It wasn't until just a few days ago he had learned who he was truly, and even then he told no one. This woman included didn't know his capabilities or that he could have brought her back with a portion of his soul without hesitation. She was able to come back on her own though, but it was her pain right now that he was more fixated on. He calmly tried to soothe her without touching her.

"It will be alright, no one is going to hurt you especially me. Just calm down, please. I am here to help not to hurt you. I am not going to do anything to you, just protect you like I swore to. What happened to you that has you this worked up? And your strength... you are so weak compared to what I expected... is that related to all of this?"

A visible frown was across his face as Miva arrived and handed him his stuff. He got dressed quickly, Miva aiding him in looking his best as she knew that at the moment he was too distracted to do it himself. She smiled knowing that she could help the man. While she still gave him grief, coming to understand who he was, she understood her meeting him was a hand of fate, and even thought she could not let it show, she would always hold him in high regard. He was still her idiot though, and if he was Life, then he needed to be humble. She took it upon herself to do so, but also to protect him as he had done for her. She felt she owed him more for him putting up with her than he would ever know, but she also wanted to let him know that he was Still Yazuki in her eyes, nothing more. "Yazuki, you big sob, making the poor girl cry like that. You should really be more careful she is nice to me!"

No matter how strong she made her magic it was never a magical source that was the one threatening her anymore. Instead of all her training to aid in protecting her from the things she feared? It really did not do anything except allow her to take down opponents easily, which would have been great if enemies were the only thing capable of shaking the roots of her. However, the wind user easily realized these days that it was not only those who wanted to harm her who could cause her to startle, who could break her. Instead, common strangers and even allies could even cause her to pass out if she survived the intense wave of fear, the panic that corrupted her whenever certain things were present. Going through life was terrifying for her because everything was potentially harmful and could make her seem weak even though she had fought so long, so hard to be strong. Kazehime hated it and she really did not know how to handle things when she melted down in front of someone, so she avoided everything that could trigger these episodes almost like the plague. Yet she had slipped up and gotten in a situation where the only way to live was to end up breaking like this, normally Marschal was the one to save her so it didn’t matter, but she screwed up and went somewhere without the feline even though she knew it was safest in his arms. Her head went over too many thoughts over and over again, unable to process anything besides her fear and confusion.

He said the cursed words, he did the thing no one in Black Rose had really dared to do, not even Leigh, he directly asked her what happened! At that second she flashed back again but not in the manner as to freak out, instead, she remembered how weak, powerless, and hopeless she had been back then. Instantly she didn’t look panicked, she looked utterly shattered, eyes glazed over with tears that seemed like they were never going to fall, her body rolling so she could look over at the lightning mage. Life didn’t stop just because of her weakness. “I’m not Weak, my body may be frail, but I am NOT.” she seemed to snap out the last word, as if she was offended, one hand over her chest as she changed to a slightly pouting expression, head down turned as she knelt on the ground trying to find herself again.

“Oh miva, it’s not his fault.” the wind user spoke softly, light blue lines appearing on her face for a moment before they vanished as she reached a hand out as if she was motioning for the exceed to come to her. If the little kitty did come over? She would sit the feline in her lap almost like a child and stroke the creature's head. “I’m just not very good with men expect for Marschal, and yes it's all related.” they did need to get going for the job, but she was going to take a minute to be able to stand once more, all the commotion had done its toll on her and her legs felt like jelly.

Miva looked up at Jiyu and Yazuki stood motionless, not knowing what to do. His gear was now on and he raised his hand, a feint green glow emitting from his hand as a bolt of pure green life force sprang from it and hit Jiyu, rejuvenating her from her almost drowning and removing any problems she had. His healing was able to cure the deepest scars and calm the most distraught, something he had realized with his new position in the world. it would be though, that he didn't realize the full extent of his powers though, as this would calm her and fix any remaining damage to her that may not normally be healable, as his shoulders from his father figure had morphed and changed to match who he now was.

Miva looked over at Jiyu and quickly explained. "He is the aspect of Life and his green lightning is capable of healing a lot of stuff, no need to fright I promise. Also his Green lightning does not make the big booms so you should be ok... But Jiyu... What happened that caused this then? If it was not Yazuki touching you, why do you shrink from him? He was only trying to help. I may have been gone but I know Yazuki well enough, he never meant any harm." She sat in the lap of her friend, at least Miva considered her a friend. The eyes of the feline showed concern, something Miva was not known for. "If there is something we should know so we can make you feel more comfortable, you should tell us. So we don't hurt you... ever."

Yazuki stood shocked at Miva's response. The feline didn't act like this ever, she was always tough unless she was wounded. She never acted motherly except in dire situations, and Yazuki felt she knew something more was the issue. A sudden wave of anger flooded him as he realized what she was saying had to do with someone who had previously hurt her... it was obvious when he thought about it. His fist clenched and his face grew to one that was far more scary than one he ever bore save when he thought Frey had been killed. "Where are they Jiyu," his voice was stern, an almost disgust in it as he looked at her with a grimace that started to scare Miva, who leapt from Jiyu's lap to grab Yazuki and calm him.

"Calm down you don't know what is going on yet!" She yelled, her wings open as she hovered and held his head close, something she had not done since the night Frey had returned.

So close to having just flipped out, near when she had broken and shattered once more? Jiyu was particularly sensitive to pretty much anything, the slightest thing could set her off again in either direction be it another breakdown or an aggressive outburst. Right now it was vital to handle the lavender haired woman with the utmost caution exercised, lest she actually become dangerous to those on the scene. The green lightning helped some, but her scars ran insanely deep and some of them she even rejected which made them harder to mend. Jiyu was not really prepared or ready to confide in anyone expect for Marschal, heck her own technical in-laws did not know truly had taken place to leave her so fragile. Makoto and Leila, Astrid And Lulu? Had never been informed of what happened, she kept it as darkened as she could, pushed it furthest away from herself that she could because it was the only way Jiyu could think of to cope with it, never confronting what had been done to her. If she didn’t admit anything happened to expect when something like this happened, she never to think about it, so long as it was out it was gone and couldn’t hurt her. At least that was what the wind user liked to think.

“Loud Noise isn’t a very good thing.” her ears twitched slightly almost as a reminder she had the hearing of a dog had always been afraid of things like thunderstorms and noisy cars. She really seemed numb to everything now as she pulled herself to sit pretzel style, her hands resting between her legs in this position, eyes still a bit hazy. “It’s not so much him as it all men expect for Marschal. Even a child can’t touch me.” to her knowledge the feline was the only one of the male gender who could lay hand on her without her flipping the nearest table and then flipping another table when she realized herself too weak to flip the first once. “Never start a fire with me around, or bring me near one, but don’t leave things dark either.” she had lived years with a literal blindfold on, being burned for acting up or as a way to force her to open her mouth for food or other things. The canine’s tail was still between her legs as she rose slowly, careful not to force Mira from her lap if the exceed happened to be there, head turned away in shame. Eventually, she rose fully just as yazuki became upset once more, the pieces seeming to click in the lightning user’s head.

Kazehime flinched and stumbled a few steps back as he exploded so to speak, her crimson eyes glistening in fear as if she thought it was her being scolded as if it was her fault. Alongside the flinching? She had her arms crossed over her chest, her legs crossed and body slouched, it was clear she was flashing back or it was reflex after what she had endured. “They were never found.” her voice was small and meek but she was actually surprised that she was still standing, especially out in the open like this. Jiyu had no idea Marschal had killed the ones present when he found her, and she had no clue where any of the other’s could be. “Uh- Miva.” the canine spoke the exceeds name and reached one arm out the other still tightly across her chest as if that would actually protect her if someone really wanted to do something. Anyway’s when Miva did come over the girl moved the arm that had still been covering her chest so she could use both of them to hold the feline. “Mind letting me hold you for a bit? In spite of being a dog, I rather like cats.” and now her tail was not between her legs and she had stood back up mostly straight, finally able to look at yazuki though she still could not look at his eyes, Jiyu figured she was coming out of it now. “We should head off to the contest.” With that she actually jumped off the ground and simply started floating, the wind playing with her lavender hair that now fanned around her as if she was underwater.

Yazuki waited for Miva and Jiyu at the boat that he had landed on with a thunder clap. He ignored the onlookers, some rage still within his blood. He wanted to know what happened. Something had caused his mentor great pain and he did not approve of it what so ever. He paced back and forth and finally started to grasp a hold of his own sanity again. He looked around at all the people who had finally gone about their own business again and he was now once again being ignored. The boat had a bar, the beer being free but for some reason the hard liquor was not. He grabbed his normal drink of choice and grabbed a rod since people had started to fish. He sipped his scotch as he attached his lure to his line and began to cast. It took him a few times to get it right, but finally he tossed it out into the sea and continued sipping his scotch. Nothing was more calming than this right now. He looked around, not seeing them yet but sure they would show up soon enough. He wanted to make sure he had his lure on correctly so he started reeling in the lure, only to feel a sudden jerk of resistance as it started to resist.

He continued to battle with the fish for a few minutes. Whatever it was was more of a fight than landlocked fish like he was used to. He tried thinking of a way to make it easier but was too caught up in the fight as the line dipped right. The fight continued on as Miva landed next to him and looked at him slyly. "There is an easier way to do this you know," she said in a low tone so only he would hear it. She reached her paw out and touched the fishing pole with her claw, sending a shock down the line. The resistance from the fish stopped, as small bits of purple electricity could be seen barely around the area the fish was. To a normal onlooker, it wasn't something that was noticeable, but Yazuki noticed and smiled back at Miva, now leaning against the side of the ship with a sly grin like she was the best thing ever at the moment, and he had no arguement. He slowly reeled it in and placed the fish next to him. "Easy Peasy," Miva stated.

The past was hard for her to deal with even with how far she had come since then, it just was not an easy thing to accept or truly move on from. Thus every morning just like this the wind user picked up the shattered pieces of herself they had left behind and collected them into a fragile glass version of her old self, one that could be broken once more so easily it was laughable. Yet this allowed her to keep going from day to day and thus served it’s purpose admirably so she did it again today as she held Miva the wind user simply reached for one of the feathers in her slightly messed up and dripping locks, tossing it down and taking to the air on it. Shortly after she had taken off she let the feline go easily and continued heading to the place she knew Yazuki was already at. At the least, today was an activity she enjoyed, Fishing like she had done with her father at a young age before her Mother died and her life went south. Hopefully, it would be enjoyable like it had been last time. Thus she picked up her rod and sat beside the lightning user on the ship, her legs dangled off the side, perched as if she had done this dozens of times before easily baiting her line and casting even easier.

Apparently, she did have some decent skill because the resistance that showed on her line when she caught something on her line? Was more violent than what her apprentice had and she didn’t have a lightning trick to prevent it from getting away thus she had to rely on skill that she had honed every time her dad told her she could not just bite the fish in the river like some wild animal to catch them when they went fishing. Honestly, she wished that she still had the strength to grip them with her teeth, but it would never work with this one because when it was finally flopped onto the deck it was about the size of her arm. “This is going to make me want fish for dinner. Miva or Yazuki can you kill it for me? Sadly I don’t have the physical strength to end it.” she mentioned idly throwing her line back out the fish still flopping behind them.

Miva laughed as Jiyu pulled in a fish that looked larger than Yazuki's. "And she didn't need the trick. Seems she is your superior after all!"

Yazuki looked over at the fish and motioned for Miva to take care of it as had been asked of them. She lit the fish up by cooking it with a crack of purple lightning, making some patrons jump as he began sipping on the glass of scotch he had grabbed for himself. He grabbed out his case of small sticks and placed one in his mouth, each stick resembling a cigarette. He began to chew slightly at it as he sipped a bit more before tossing his line out. He looked around, noticing a lot of women in skimpy bathing suits. He frowned, thinking of Frey and how she hadn't been around for a while, and how Marceline would surely be away from something so simple as well. He missed them both, but still didn't understand any of it all. He sighed as his line hit the water once more. He looked around for a bit, enjoying the view and trying to get them off his mind. the line tugged again, and he simply zapped the line, and reeled in a rather boney looking carp with a frown. He threw it back and tossed his line back out again.

Jiyu glanced over watching carefully as Miva moved over the fish and shocked it with purple lightning ending its life. After this whole fishing contest was over? She would have to take the group of them out to some sushi or fish restaurant for the night since she knew herself to have the jewel to do so. Kazehime looked down into the water, a small smile forming on her mouth from the feeling of the wooden rod between her slender hands, eyes growing slightly hazy but not in the bad sort of way. It seemed what Vlad had done the last time did not really leave any marks for this time, no matter how scared she had been when the other mage almost embraced her, stood with his arms just there preventing any escape that did not involve her touching him. Honestly, she figured he did it on purpose and tried to avoid the male since because that was just a jerk move to make if you suspected someone was frightened of you, she did not understand why he had done it. Of course, she had been quite a bit of a show off last fishing trip too, so maybe that was involved in it.

“And the superior trend continues.” she chuckled the phrase out, glancing over at his small fish that was worth nothing as a strong bite tugged her line causing her to pull in the line once more, grateful that the pulley system did most of the work. The fish she brought up was of average size but still larger than Yazuki’s. “Mind doing the honors Miva?” and with that she recast her line, the fish flopping around right behind her from where she had unhooked it to rebait her line.

Yazuki stood there grimacing at seeing his mentor reeling in larger fish than him constantly, so he cast his line out once more. This time it seemed to take forever for a fish to bite, so he observed the bay. Miva walked over and shocked the next fish of Jiyu's. "Funny, you have all the advantage but the fish just don't like you do they Yazuki?" She smirked brightly at him as she looked at the difference in the fish caught so far.

The day was fair and the sun high in the sky, around noon he thought. The ocean seemed pretty calm, the tide rolling back and forth but far enough out that it didn't seem to bother the boat much. The water glistened a deep blue today, as many other participants were fishing away, pulling small to some larger fish out of the water. Yazuki had heard this water tended to see the Kraken or he had at least heard tales about it but had never actually seen such a large or magnificent beast before. He began to ponder if it would come out and play today. He turned to Jiyu to ask and then the scene from earlier in the morning plagued his thought process. Something had happened to her, something that he wanted to know and wanted to deal with. He knew someone had to have been involved and he wanted to find them and bring an end to them for hurting someone who he saw as caring. Finally he recollected his thoughts and cleared his throat to get Jiyu's attention.

"I hear tell tale that a Kraken likes to frequent these waters? Have any clue if that is true?" He looked at her inquisitively as he felt a tug on his line. It was just a fish playing with the bait. As he began to reel it in to see if the bait was stolen though, the fish bit in hard. Having hooked the fish, he sent a bolt down the fishing line to hit the fish and stun it once again, pulling in a bigger fish that the last one at least. He looked back over at Jiyu and waited for her response.

“Well actually to be entirely fair, I’ve been fishing since I was a child.” she finally admitted the reason why despite her lack of physical strength it seemed to be easy for her to perform this activity. For most of her life? Jiyu knew the only part that required true strength was killing the fish, otherwise, finesse and technique could be everything! Sadness clouded her gaze for a second as she could remember sitting in her father’s lap being taught when she was a very young child, before even her seventh birthday. Those days had been good one’s, they always dragged fish home for her mother and they were a real family, not the shattered remnants she had left behind nearly one decade prior. Briefly, she wondered if her father had woken up after she ran away, went back to the kind smith he had once been before her mother’s death, but she doubted this and blinked the sadness away with a chuckle. The past of no relevance now, she didn’t even carry the same name from those happy days, she had shed that long ago because she knew they were never coming back, nothing would ever be the same. Yet she had managed to find something of a happy place within Black Rose, a place she could feel as if she belonged again. Taking care of the Guild in any way she could, was something she enjoyed and one of her few goals expect for becoming a wizard saint and ending the man who murdered her mother even though no one from the village had believed he existed, she knew he was out there somewhere and still dangerous.

Yazuki brought up the Kraken and might be disturbed to hear his mentor chuckle sharply, her expression darkening slightly as she grinned at its mention. Winning this contest? Often relied on reeling in and catching that beast, thought maybe she should have mentioned to him earlier that they were going to fight the aquatic monster sometime during this. In the end, it would be his learning experience to never jump head strong into something with her without asking her for every detail she knew, or rather what she did not know. Often times? She would take missions just because she always had to be working and as her apprentice, he would be on a good deal of those missions. “Oh yes about that species, this place is infested it's why mages have to be present during this event.” she had gone back to her normal reassuring, happy and gentle smile, but her words did not quite match the smile, considering she just told him they would likely have to fight a dangerous mythical beast! ‘Actually I’m getting tired of waiting for the lazy beast, give me one second.” the wind user levitated into the air and lifted one hand bringing it down to generate tornadoes on top of the ocean which in turn sucked up water, trying hard to control the spell as to not to make a hurricane. Thus she stopped the spell prematurely and the gathered water poured back into the ocean making a few large waves.

Just when the waves from her spell stopped, rumbling began and the water started to break, the huge monster breaking out from beneath the waves. Jiyu had attacked the ocean surface to bring the Kraken to the surface. “Alright Yazuki, go beat it now, I’ll just watch, he’s not that hard an opponent.” said the a-class mage who had a tendency to over kill things and a skill for fishing, the mentor simply choosing to leave the opponent she had summoned to her apprentice, throwing him under the bus. Honestly, it was actually testing to make sure he would not be put in danger by following her into later missions where she could not control the conditions so easily as she could here. If he could beat the Kraken? Then she knew he would be safe even following her into portals that lead to unknown worlds.
