A Strange Girl

5 Weeks Later

After weeks of traveling Soichiro and Chozen arrive at the tomb of the clever. As they walk towards the tomb they encounter wild boars. “Kugo why don’t you take that sword for a spin, you know get the hang of how to wield it.” Chozen suggested. Soichiro summons the sword of the wise and throws it at a boar and warps to the sword stabbing the boar. Then Soichiro starts to do the same move on every boar until they’re all dead.

After he kills the boars Soichiro sets up camp and Chozen is just floating in one spot watching Soichiro. While Soichiro and Chozen eat the boars Soichiro stops and looks like something is about to happen. “Chozen stop eating. Something's not right.” Soichiro said. “What’s wrong Kugo?” Chozen asked. Soichiro closes his eyes and then summons his soul blade. “What the hell?” Chozen said. Soichiro deflects an attack coming from behind. “What the hell are you doing there’s a shinigami right there and how the hell did you notice I was here?” The mysterious girl asked. The mysterious girl started attacking Chozen but he dodged every attack. “WHY AREN’T YOU ATTACKING SHINIGAMI?!!!” The girl shouted. Soichiro warps behind the girl and hits her in the head with the bottom of his sword knocking her out. “What should we do with her?” Soichiro asked. “Let's tie her up and wait until she wakes up to get answers.” Chozen answered.

1 hour later

“My head. What the- why am I tied up?” The girl wondered. “Oh good you’re awake. I thought we were gonna have to wait till morning.” Said Soichiro. “Who the hell are you?” The girl asked. “My name is Soichiro Kugo, prince of Eos.” Soichiro answered. “A prince? This can’t be true.” The girl thought. “If you're actually a prince then why aren’t you in a shelter hidden away from the shinigami?” The girl asked. “I’ll tell you if you tell me if you answer some questions.” Soichiro replied. “My questions are who are you and what are you doing here?” Soichiro asked. “Alright. My name is Suki Kakehashi. I was traveling around the world looking for ruins and tombs. I was walking through the forest and I saw you and the shinigami, so I decided to attack the shinigami before it kills you.” Suki explained. “Alright now it’s time for my story. As I’ve just said I am the prince of Eos, my sensei saved me and hid me in a shelter. For 10 years I’ve been hiding and training to fight the shinigami. And as for why I’m here, I’m seeking out the royal tombs which contain regalia that once belonged to my ancestors and if I get all of the regalia I’ll have the power to eliminate all shinigami and bring peace to this planet. As for the shinigami he’s an ally, he won’t hurt humans.” Soichiro explained. “Oh so that’s why you blocked my attack, you didn’t want me to hurt it.” Suki said. “If you’re on a mission to get these regalia and save the planet, how about I join? I can be of use on this mission.” Suki stated. “Hmm. You can join, you seem like you have potential that can be useful for this mission.” Soichiro said. “AYO CHOZEN, YOU CAN COME BACK SHE’S NOT GONNA KILL YOU!!!” Soichiro shouted. Chozen flies to the camp. “You must be Chozen, I’m Suki. Sorry about earlier, I thought you were just a regular shinigami.” Suki said. “It’s alright, a common misconception. So Kugo how much does she know?” Chozen asked. “She knows about our mission.” Soichiro answered. “Alright. I guess I should tell my story. I was a kingsglaive, a warrior that is sworn to protect the royal family. I saved Soichiro from the shinigami invasion. 5 years ago I was involved in a fight with a shinigami and the shinigami killed me. After I died I met the shinigami king and it turned me into this.” Chozen explained. “Ok. Now that amends and introductions were made. We still have to go into the tomb of the clever.” Soichiro stated.

The Next Morning

After the trio pack up their camping gear they set off to the tomb of the clever. “Finally the tomb of the clever. Are you ready to face him Kugo?” Chozen asked. “Yes, I know I’m ready to face the clever.” Soichiro answered. As Soichiro unlocks the door to the tomb, he puts his hand over the bow of the clever feeling its energy, it floats in the air and goes through him and puts Soichiro in a trance. “Looks like I’m back in the same place where I fought The Wise.” Soichiro thought. “White Knight , you may have obtained my regalia but you must prove to me that you are worthy of its full power.” A mysterious voice said. "Who are you?" Soichiro asked. "I am the Winged King of Eos." The Winged said Soichiro and The Winged summon the bow of the clever. “Now, LET THE TRIAL BEGIN!!!”
