Of Things Lost Now Found
Dear Little Wolf,
I have come across something that may be interesting to you. While studying ancient tomes, I came across an interesting legend regarding the silly little clan you and Shiki are so fascinated by. The tales of the legend lead me to the Land of Claws. That place... is a shit hole, but on to the point. Once there I found that I was not the only one interested in the legend. There are others there, searching for it, quite aggressively I might add. Had to kill several of them. It became a little more trouble than the legend was worth to me. Besides, I have no use for Kyoudo secretes, but perhaps it can help you Little Wolf. While I did not feel like dealing with these insignificant pieces trash myself, I am a bit vindictive. So I did take the time to do some investigating before I left. In the parcel accompanying this letter, are all of my notes on the legend (I went through the trouble of translating them to common... you're welcome), and a list of names and locations of people you need to eliminate. These are not good people Little Wolf... do not hesitate, end their miserable lives. I'm sure they also have the information you need to finish piecing together the legend, and gaining the power it claims to bestow.
Love, Loki

----------------------------
This is the letter that has lead you to this desolate place. This is the Badlands of the Land of Claws, it is known for housing strange beasts, and monsters, as well as being home to the most inexplicable lightning storms. The sun is beginning to set on the scenery, but there is not much to be seen here. There is only a stony plain. In the distance maybe a couple of miles away is a town, fairly large for the area. It's shining lights illuminating the dark background of this area, as the sun's light begins to fade, as the sounds of Thunder and Monster's roars echoed in the background.
Inside the parcel that Loki left you, is a scroll, once opened the scroll displays a detailed map, with 5 names displayed, and pictures next to each name. They are placed on the map in the areas of the town they frequently visit. There are little notes scribbled on the side of the names, with suggestions of how to kill them. They are mostly comical, and seemingly frustration based. She suggested one of the targets be forced to eat their own nipples.... that was just non-sense.... maybe. There is also a note pad inside of the parcel that held notes on the legend that Loki had been investigating.
*Notes*
- It seems the legend revolves around an elemental... a very powerful one.
- The Scar? Is that the name of the creature? Or the Event? Suppose time will tell.
- This text is a little confusing, I'm not sure if this creature was created by the first Kyoudo, or the first Kyoudo was created by it. Fascinating!
- Regardless of it's origin, it seems that it possess extraordinary power, and helped to cultivate it into a powerful ability.
- From what I can gather something happened... a falling out maybe? There was a conflict, it stretched far.
- Interesting... the Elemental could not be defeated.
- Ah, I see, it's a Lightning Elemental, lightning vs lightning, that battle must a raged for quite awhile.
- Hmm, this last bit...some of it is missing... very odd phasing.
- "Pieces to be lost, a soul is found." Odd ... I will need to head to The land of Claw to investigate further. From the description in the text, that's where things came to a head.
- How vexing, I found some interesting texts, but was attacked by randoms. Will have to stay on the move, to study in relative peace.
- This group that attacked seems to be searching for the same legend. But they will get no where without the tomes I have discovered.
- This has turned into a bigger hassle then I'm willing to deal with.
- Burned the tomes, but translated and made a copy of them before hand.
- Dammit! Was forced to leave the copies behind. Tenacious bastards. God damn imbeciles don't know what they're doing.
- They have my copies... but no one among them speaks Celestial or Abssyal, figures. It will be quite some time before they can translate what I wrote... hehehe good.
- Made some simple adjustment in the wording, in my copies. Only I know what to look for, to them it will seem like nonsense, or mistranslated.
- There is no way they will be able to find the "The Scar" without translating correctly what I have written. This should give me time to plot their demise.
- Perhaps Little Wolf of Shiki will find this interesting.
*End Notes* - on the back of the note pad, are words, seemingly very recently scribbled. Seems to be a word key of some sort. No additional notes are given-
Word list
- Calamity = The Scar
