Far to the south of any Great Country lies a great plains, flat and barren for miles. The plains themselves, while appearing dry, with no obvious signs of water, flourishes with life. Shrubs and tall grass, abounding with small critters, dotted the landscape, as giants beasts, rhinos, elephants, anteaters and more walked along searching for food. However, the sun was beating down, and water was nowhere to be found. Somehow, the animals here could find a source of water, but to the stranger, mysteriously pulled through the savanna, there was no such luck.
Eventually, however, before exhaustion could permanently set in, the young man made it to his destination. Rising high above the plains, a lone mountain, with nearly sheer edges, stood watch over the great plains and all of its inhabitants. About halfway up this geological wonder, there was a single deep cave. Partway through, the adventurer's journey came to an end. The cave continued deeper into the mountain, but that was less important. For against the wall, there lay a pair of greaves, holding a power deep within them.
And ready to take that power for himself was Mitsurugi Gene.
[Weapon]Ankan's Greaves
Mitsurugi Gene and Challengers
[Weapon]Ankan's Greaves
Gene had never been one for sightseeing or frolicing around enjoying the open air. Each step carried with it a purpose to move him forward toward a specific destination that is, until he could no longer step in that direction. However, he couldn't deny the beauty of such a strange and foreign place stemming from the animals to the very flowers and blades of grass that took root. In fact, aside from the greaves themselves Gene conceded that this region solidified itself as one of his fondest memories. He'd removed his scarf in lieu of the heat and would have removed his flak vest if not for the fact that he'd been journeying through a foreign country with even stranger customs than he cared to familiarize himself with at the time. He was already taking a risk coming so far by himself he didn't want to tempt fate by removing the little bit of protection he did have with him for the ride.
"And so the journey finally comes to a close, eh?" Gene spoke to no one as he moved to pick up both greaves and fix them in their proper place on his person. They felt...lighter than he would have imagined but fit perfectly, as if to have been designed specifically for his body. "Time to head back." And with those words he began his trek back toward his homeland and out from the mouth of the cave down back to the grassy plains that awaited him.
Although...perhaps he could make a pit stop along the way for some water.
