Part one: Itsu Seikyo
Uncovered feet cracked through a loose dead twig on the grassy ground that surrounded Beanstalk Village, the sun still far from rising as Mashyuu crept back to hi old home. Sitting on the edge of the farmland of the village as one of the few houses that was made of stone and not cloth and sticks, Mashyuu's family home represented the union of two powerful Slayers, an Earth and Iron Dragon Slayer, and represented what he was as well. The man once again aimlessly entered the home, pushing the door open and kicking away the dead body of a man who didn't actually belong in the village to begin with. Mashyuu shut the door behind him and used his massive hammer to keep it blocked off while he dropped to a single knee and checked the dead mans body. Nothing special on him, aside from a scroll and his weapon. Mashyuu picked both up and headed to his room. Sitting on his dusty old bed Mashyuu examined the blade, the hilt made to look like the devils trident while the blade was curved and wickedly sharp. The man knew the blade, the cult that had killed him all carried a weapon similar to this. How long had they been tracking him since his revival? Mashyuu wasn't sure but he knew that he had to find out. If he waited for them to find him then they would surely kill him again. Lazily he placed the blade aside and unrolled the scroll to look it over.
The Earth Wizard lives, he was last seen headed for Beanstalk Village. We have an agent there trying to destroy it. Head Mashyuu off and make sure he doesn't stop our plans there again.
No name, but clear orders. Mashyuu crumpled the scroll and tossed it aside, a flick of his wrist causing the ground to rise up and swallow the scroll while his eyes narrowed in anger. "Mashyuu, why have you returned? Did you miss me that much?" A voice echoed in the home, causing Mashyuu to jump with a startle and look around. Nothing was there but he recognized the voice. The man stood up and took a low stance, body moving to a profile to keep his vital organs safe while his arms were kept close to his body. "If you were smart you would show yourself, before I drop the building on us both." Mashyuu threatened. The voice started to giggle before speaking again. "Silly Mashyuu. What happened to you? You used to be so sweet and gentle. Now you are rough around the edges and quick to leap into danger. Don't you recognize the voice of your Itsu?" The voice asked in a sweet tone.
Before Mashyuu a tall woman appeared. Bare foot and wearing a simple light green, ripped gown with the skull of a ram on her head, crowning her green hair. Mashyuu recognized her but couldn't recall her name. Only that he had spent a long time with her at his side. Mashyuu slowly dropped his guard and blinked twice while looking at her without shoes, much like himself. "How long have you been here spirit?" He asked, unsure of weather he should be worried or relieved. "Mashyuu, we grew up together before you left for Sabertooth. I was killed and turned to a zombie and you helped me move on. I'm back to help you now. My name is Itsu. While you may not remember me now in time you will. I will always be at your side and help you when you need it. Ryo won't always be around but I will always be at your side." She explained as her body began to solidify and become complete.
It was then that Mashyuu remembered getting a note after his first job in Sabertooth. It requested he go to a haunted forest and was sent from Itsu. By the time he arrived it was to late, she was a zombie and surrounded by ghosts. It turned out a dark wizard had been the cause of the problem and was looking to kill Mashyuu before he could possibly stop the dark cult from reviving their demon king. Mashyuu's eyes welled up with tears and as they ran down his face and hit the floor he reached out and hugged the woman he once called his love. "I'm sorry I failed you." He whispered while burying his face in her neck and shoulder. Slowly Mashyuu began to shake as the sorrow overtook him and he fell to his knees, holding her legs tight. The gentle Itsu dropped down to her knees moments later and cradled Mashyuu. "You did everything you could, I know that. You went on to save many other lives and I couldn't be more proud to have you as a friend. There is no need for sorrow." She softly replied to the man who was having a breakdown in his home. This was the first time Mashyuu had felt any sort of emotion other than rage since he was revived. The god inside him let the man have some peace, finding it important that Mashyuu came to peace with all of his inner demons before acting through him. Even now it could sense he was regaining some of his former strength and was preparing to awaken more of it's power inside the man.
After what felt like hours of crying Mashyuu pulled himself into bed and fell asleep, Itsu watched over him in the dark of night until she was sure he was out cold then crept into the kitchen. The earth wizard was awoken when the sun rose to the smell of fried corned beef hash and juice. Mashyuu pulled himself out of bed and found he had been placed in an old pair of pajamas, his brown and orange gi folded and placed on a chair next to his bed along with his heavy hammer. The ground showed signs of the hammer being dragged into the room, causing Mashyuu to chuckle a little. She didn't have to go through all the trouble when a simple rock would have fed him just as well.
