[Intro.]
The Land of Wind was particularly hot on this autumn day, not at all surprising, but the air was dry and it felt comfortable enough on the skin. What would not have been comfortable, for those who were not accustomed to such climates, would be the contant tearing thirst. As for the natives, it seemed that they had grown accustomed to this as well. The four ninja and non-ninja that had been selected to take part in the protection of Sukuinushi were told to meet, with little other information, at a base in the Land of Wind. The ninja would be warned that the base appeared to be a collection of abandoned ruins inside an outcropping of rocks bundled in the sand (which stretched all around the ruins about 70 meters into the air, except for a small, sliver of an oppening where the ruins were held), excavated and maintained to appear abandoned by the secret non-ninja of Sukuinushi. The open area inside of the rocks appeared to be about thirty meters by thirty meters, with ten meter high forsaken buidings rising around them. Today, however, the base would not be abandoned and inside would stand Rae, the second Angel, and Kimuzu, the third Angel, who had grown considerably since they had first helped found the village so long ago. Rae was dressed in a purple and black tactical vest and clothes meant for stealth, which clung to her legs and arms. She had purple hair and dark skin, as well as two different colored eyes: one purple and one red. Kimuzu was clothed in his typical red robe with white lace around the edges and his black gloves with the gold insigina of his family. His hair had grown very long and his eyes seemed to speak of wisdom. These were new additions since his younger days, when he was nothing but a pitiful non-ninja looking to gain power.
The ninjas would not know who their advesaries were or how exactly they were meant to track them down, but were promised that the man and woman who were at this base would explain everything. Neither one of the figures were equipped with weapons, but five non-ninja surrounded them wearing their own form of signature battle attire (female | male). Almost all of these figures were clearly adorned with weaponry such as sword, shields, and packs for smaller weapons. They didn't, however, appear to be looking for a fight and stuck behind their superiors a good deal -- watching from the shadows of that ancient military base. From somewhere around them came the cawing of some unknown bird, seeming to usher in a new day and a new plan for these village leaders.
If the ninja were to walk into the base, there would be only one way to enter. The small sliver in the side of the rock outcroppings, between three giant pieces of rock that seemed to fallen on top of one another leaving this small sanctuary. Rae and Kimuzu waited anxiously. They were eager to have this matter resolved, but also nervous that the order might have sent spies. There was no way of knowing when or where they might be around. For this reason, many of the non-ninja that accompanied them were sensors and soulcasters. Very capable of determing any soul that may not be fit for the challenge of securing Sukuinushi. But, they were running out of options, and at this point these ninja were going to have to do the job or who knew what leadership Sukuinushi may fall under next?
