HIDDEN JUDGES [VINTAGE MIX] 03CROSSROADS SPLIT AND MEETJasmine and dragonfruit incense filled the air. In the Tozan manor, there was never a room that did not smell like something else. No family members, children, vassals, servants, or retainers were present. This was odd, given the large part of the noble clan’s income came from their spice and incense trade, coupled with survival, aphrodisiac, and fur businesses. Over the centuries, the Tozan had gathered an absolutely ridiculous amount of money. The end result was what the two former captains saw before them.Teruo was fumbling with a chest made of jade and elephant ivory. Long tapestries hung down from the walls, depicting ancient mountains filled with dragons and warriors fighting them. Tall windows allowed trickles of sunlight to flow through and kiss the rich bamboo floors. It was a manor so steeped in tradition and riches that it was no small wonder how Teruo grew up to be the way he was.With an audible click! Teruo opened the chest. He pulled out two swords and turned, tossing each one to their respective shinigami. “Itoukagi will have the easiest time reattaining his former power. You, Mae, will not. That seal will be hard to break, but we can’t do it through the proper channels. You’ll have to force it open.”Reaching back into the chest, Teruo pulled out two life-sized dolls. They were oddly shaped and had no features on them other then the strange lines that burned blue. “These are Tenshintai, created by the Onmitsukidou. When you stab your swords into them, you’ll manifest your spirits again. What happens after that is up to you.“You will both be doing this training here. There are underground facilities that will make it so no one realizes that you two are here or will know what you are doing. These Tenshintai will make your training take three days. At the end of the third day we will meet again and begin our planning.“If you have any questions, ask now.” Teruo finished.
