Rumors has it that upon the light of the lunar eclipse the statue turns into a spirit that grants the owner a single wish.

"Lady Lareci, I understand your mission is critical but... I have a favor I need to ask."
That was how the conversation started. The one who said that phrase hadn't introduced themselves, they didn't even try to spark small talk with Kaori to ease her into the subject. Around them, the sound of sailors, pirates, and town guardsmen all making merry in a drunken state was drowning out the sound of Kaori's sigh of discontent. She'd come to this pub because the food was good, the drinks were great, and the company was always amazing. It was the kind of place where she could feel at ease, and not think about business. Kaori's mask did well to hide her annoyed expression, and her voice contained no traces of being on edge. "It's rude to ask a favor from someone you haven't introduced yourself to." Kaori said calmly, her voice louder than normal so her to-be contractor could hear her. "My apologies..." the woman said, followed by "My name is Angelique. I'm a member of the counsel for Midi's cross nations union."
Kaori had a slight bit of alarm from the fact that this woman was with Midi's government, or rather, a sub-section of it. Kaori wasn't too keen on helping the law since they normally found some way to weasel their way out of keeping up their end. She also didn't like that this woman know who she was, and where she would be; much to Kaori's fortune, her mask hid all of this away. "Evidently I have no need to introduce myself." Kaori said in a cold tone. She used her foot to push the chair across from her out, implying the woman had permission to sit with her.
Angelique: "Indeed. The Lareci clan is well known for its brutality in combat, as well as several assignments for the well being of Midi."
Kaori: "The Lareci clan is known for existing in the afterlife. There are no tasks in this world they perform."
Angelique: "While one wolf exists, the pack may yet survive."
Kaori: "The wolf is the strength of the pack, the pack is the strength of the wolf. What is a wolf without a pack?"
Angelique: "An Alpha preparing to howl."
Kaori: "And if there's nothing to howl to?"
Angelique: "Then howl to let your voice be known."
Kaori: "What will it take to get you out of my pub?"
Angelique put on a gentle smile at Kaori's question. She said "A favor." and slid an envelope over to Kaori's side of the table. Kaori opened it and said "Understood." in a very calm tone. It was something that Kaori would have to take care of at a later time, but it was something that she would've taken on even without the conversation with Angelique. It was the beginning of what would be an interesting day for the masked warrior.
After her soured meal, Kaori had returned to the castle to begin doing some research. She had heard a great deal about the artifacts hidden around the eastern lands and personally wanted to discover more about them. She was in the library, sitting at the same desk she normally sat at with a stack of books next to her. The books were all about folk tales, legends, myths, cryptids, and fairy tales that had been passed down for generations. Many in the guild knew not to interrupt Kaori while reading, few knew the reason why...
