[Weapon]Malevolence

Post by Takumi » Mon Oct 29, 2018 10:11 pm

Standing tall atop a hilltop peak, a small fortress looked down, broodingly, at a small, abandoned village. The trees of the forest had begun to take back the land that had once been cultivated but now lay barren. Between the ramshackle huts and collapsed walls, a small path led through the village and up the side of the peak. At times, the path was almost vertical, an incredibly difficult journey for a civilian, certainly. With no evidence of any kind of pulley system or elevator, how the villagers could have gotten up to the castle, or how soldiers and supplies could be brought up is a mystery.

The castle itself was in little better shape than the village down below. The once great oak doors designed to hold back invaders (or even subjects) were knocked off their hinges, one lying on the ground, the other barely remaining vertical. Past the doors, a small courtyard was open to the sky. Rats scurried around, searching for scraps of food. At one side of the courtyard, a metal door stood, guarding a stairwell leading down. With rusted hinges, the door was slow to yield, but it revealed a tight path deep down below the fortress.

At the end of the spiral staircase, there was another metal door. This one had a metal chain on the outside, although the lock had been smashed. Through the door, a series of locked prison cells adorned a single walkway. On the far side of the cell hall, there was a final door. This one was blown off its hinges. On the other side of the burnt doorway, there was a large room filled with torture devices. On one wall, there was a sealed Iron Maiden. On another, a torture rack, its wood still wet with blood. Leaning up in a corner was an odd item to see in this room, an arrow.

Genkouyoushi Koutaishi stood in the murderous room before the puzzling object, ready to claim his prize.

The information he had found had been correct. The strange village with a castle towering over it had been exactly where he was told it would be as the two girls and Koutaishi admired it with all of its glory. He thought the journey would of been rougher than it had been but it wasn't and using his skills as a ninja, he was able to get up to the top, the girls beside him.

Koutaishi would make his way through the castle corridors all the way to the end where his prize would wait for him. An arrow, that held insane abilities one could only dream of using. He grabbed and headed out of the castle towards the entrance where the girls would be waiting for him. Of course he was keen to acknowledge every abnormality and anything that could of led to a trap that would end his life.
