Loki Tossed the book she had just finished reading over near the pile of books she had brought out, and reached to grab another one. She heard Drav and before she cold respond, a visitor appeared near her. She scanned the Earth Corner for a moment before she smiled, realizing who it was. She was more fond of disguises, than even Loki was. That was only of the few things the two of them shared in common. Since she wanted to remain hidden, she would not completely expose her. She waved her over saying,

"Little one, you're finally here. Come come enjoy some reading with me." Loki pointed to the mound of Ancient tomes and grimoire that would be enough to perk the interest of any witch, let alone this little thing, that hungrily devoured knowledge almost a viciously as Loki herself. She did not sharing the stronger she was the stronger the coven would be. Loki grabbed a book of her own and opened it up as she began to read, and respond.

"Feywilds, Astral Plane? My home is nothing so mundane. The Beings that dwell there, have left such places for a chance to reside in my home." Loki continued to look through her book as it's aura was seemingly devoured by her eyes. Her eyes shifted through the pages, as she turned them almost as so as her finger touched the page. She then continued.

"My Homeland is deep in an isolated Mountain Range, on an island Isolated from the rest of the world. The magic there is thick almost suffocating to those sensitive to it. Maybe that's why the things that live there are so powerful? Or maybe the Magic is so thick, because the things that live there are so powerful. Regardless, it is known as the locals as the City of Monsters, Alleve's Hallow." Loki said matter of factually as she turned a page.

Her city wasn't some secrete, but people rarely knew or made their way there, maybe out of fear, or maybe the thick magic or chakra was a natural deterrent. Who could say.

Yoko instinctively suspected that Loki was in possession of the book that she was seeking, thereby assuming that it was within the pile nearby before she even motioned towards them. After all, he god had summoned her here with the specific purpose of acquiring this new knowledge, but how could she explain this to someone else, even someone as powerful as Loki. Instead, she merely maintained her calm personality, glancing over to the pile before accepting her offer with a small nod.

She could feel the pull of the book, and as such there was little need to sort through the pile to discover which was which for the time being she knew exactly which one she wanted to acquire. She quickly picked it up, throwing a cautionary glance over the area to check that she was safe before she began reading. Loki was musing about the other planes of existence, likely the subject of the book that she was reading.

Yoko, on the other hand, had committed herself to acquiring the means to enhance her own crafting. She had sought this book out for that explicit purpose in the hope of augmenting the seals and enhancements she already possessed on her own equipment.

When the two of them were together there were rarely more than a few words exchanged between them. If Yoko managed to utter a greeting and a farewell, Loki might concern her to be a bit chatty that day knowing her personality. Loki lightly chuckled to herself as she continued to looked through the book that she had in her hand. The tiny woman and Loki would be perched against the giant wall of a hound that was Sprinkles while Shoko and Drav would enjoy the odd sight of the sudden appearance of the tiny sprite.

Loki paid no mind to the random appearance she had experienced a great many odd things in her life to this point. This might as well be just another day as far as she was concerned. She finished looking through the book she had on hand and then tossed it over into the pile like she had done the first. She then closed her eyes for a moment as she replayed everything she had just read in her mind once again. After she had finished her recounting of what where in those pages, she opened her eyes and looked at the pile.

"What should I read next?" She wondered aloud. If she was every going to get a decent amount of afternoon reading done, she'd have to rent out a library, or get her hands on plethora of ancient books like these. This was rare opportunity for her.

Shoko would notice the sudden arrival of a young girl. She did not look out of the ordinary or suspicious, nor did she have any facial expression that gave away malevolent intent. From the look of it, Loki even seemed to know her. Loki called her over as if she were her own little sister and asked her to come read with her. If Shoko had to profile her, he would estimate her to be a genin from a ninja nation, probably one near this city if that was the case. However, Shoko knew that she was no ordinary creature as his senses prickled at the unique chakra nature that seemed to emanate from her.

Loki’s words only made Shoko more and more interested. The place in question had inhabitants who originated astral planes among other places, it made Shoko both tense and excited. Finally, Shoko would be told of its name: Alleve’s Hallow, the City of Monsters. Shoko smiles, the name sounding befitting of the description attached to it.

“Alleve’s Hallow...” He would repeat. “If that place is really how you describe it... then I think I won’t have a problem fitting in there.”

It didn't take all that long for her to adsorb enough information from the book to be able to piece together the later fragments. With every passing page, her knowledge continued to grow until she felt that she had sufficiently sated the whispering darkness within her mind. Still, there was more in this area for her to learn about, a small scrap of paper positioned between the pile of books, something about it drew her in. Upon closer inspection, she noted that it was a recipe for an alchemical item, one that she possessed.

An eye of awareness, this information could be quite useful in her future endeavoured. The fact that she had thought of this was sufficient for her to almost instantly memorise it, adding it to a list of alchemical recipes that she could recite by heart. As such, she placed the paper back to where she had taken it, it had served its purpose after all. Instead, she turned her attention to the other books, there was still so much to learn.

Yet all of the books were not of equal interest to the young Kraken Lord, instead, the whispers from the great beyond drew her attention towards the grimoires that could have a notable effect on her abilities. It seemed that she had little interest in certain books, instead, she was drawn towards a navy blue one, bound with a bronze border. What secrets would this text hold for her? Yoko was rather adsorbed in her reading but still took the time to check her surroundings offering a reply to Loki's seemingly rhetorical statement. “How was your book?”

[Dravocn]

If such things were the case, then perhaps she lived on what was only described as a Ley Line of sorts. Shinobi would know them as Vents, and Monks would likely know them as Geysers of Life. Granted that was clearly dependant on who one spoke to about it. As the woman described her land, she used the term Magic, so perhaps simply name them Ley Lines. Regardless, to be sitting on something so close to The Weave is actually a miracle on Earth, which is probably why her existence is so overwhelmingly powerful.

A being whose blood runs with so much energy in their veins was bound to be an overtly evolved being. As for the size of the hound... usually, that pertains to oxygen and energy usage, as the body tends to adapt and evolve for maximum efficiency. Hence how Elephants are so large but are missing large portions of a proper skeletal system, to the point where it's mostly porous, just to keep from having to use so much energy. The poor pup would be a heaping pile of wet fur and sweat if he was created normally, but magic overcomes such things like science... supposedly. Technically science and magic can easily work in tandem, it simply requires a decent knowledge and understanding of how things work with and without a supernatural influence.

The boy was really always this analytical, the chakra changing him only emphasized it further. The pits in his pupils growing deeper as the seconds passed, inciting a natural generation of Phantasm and Enchantment energy, from fear and illusion to truth and change. His motions grew more purposeful, less frivolous as his childish persona had shown earlier. Even as the child had appeared and the other two in the area had acknowledged it, his body and mind had continued to change while he focused on the chakra creation's mortality. His next words carefully chosen, as previously stated, to speak is to show one's ignorance, though it is also to communicate and share, one must be wise which words they use and for what purpose.

"It was ok... Gave insight into elemental Magic. I doubt you'd find it interesting though." Loki said as she looked through the pie of books. She wasn't like Yoko, she'd absorb the knowledge from anything, even if it wouldn't necessarily help her. She picked her next book and perked up a bit once she opened it. It was a book about illusionary magic. This was something she could truly sink her teeth into. She opened the pages, and began to read.

"Yes Alleve's Hallow, has something for everyone. Those who seek knowledge, those who seek strength, those who simply wish to push their craft to the limits. There is very little you can not experience there." Loki gently flipped through the pages of her book once again and then looked up towards the sky at Drav still working on task. Loki smirked a bit and then turned her attention towards Yoko.

"Little one, what do you think of that you up there? Do you feel they could make a good edition to our... group?" Loki asked Yoko while she flipped through her pages, quickly absorbing everything that there was inside of it. Loki knew the moment she saw the boy that he had the potential to be a powerful witch. He was quite wet behind the ears, and still very fresh, but he could be polished is handles properly. The power from the book quickly began to leap from the pages into her mind.

"Hmmm, Alleve's Hallow." The boy would repeat once again, simply enjoying how the words rolled off his tongue. "I would like to go there and learn more about this Hunter exam, it interests me though I do not know exactly what being a hunter entails. If it's anything like being a shinobi however, I.. can not say I'd be pleased." Shoko trailed off. Being a shinobi was like being a mindless combat drone pretending to be an integral part of a society that cared for its inhabitants. Shoko could no longer deny that he hated being under someone and also being herded into strict rankings that determined what he could or couldn't do.

"I cannot mindlessly bow down to a higher power and carry out its dirty work. Such things disgust me now." Shoko would add, staring at the ground with a distant look.

"I don't wish to be suffocated by rules, regulations and rankings anymore. I'm no anarchist, but if I'm to carry out assignments I wish to work in a way that suits me best... using my own means and my own discretion. Can being a Hunter allow me at least that much?" Shoko queried, staring into Loki's eyes once more.

[Madame Loki]

Loki who had her face down in her book heard Shoko, and couldn't help but to burst out in laughter. She looked up at him wiping a tear away from her eyes. "Oh dear boy, Hunters are nothing Like shinobi. For one, even the weakest of Hunters, are more powerful than your average Jonin. Secondly, the Hunters don't have rules and regulations to follow, they have a code of conduct, which consist of 3 guidelines. Innocent Blood must not be spilled by your hands. You work for the Citizens not the City, it doesn't matter who they are, if they are called to face punishment, then they will receive it. Finally, The last guideline is, The only authority that matters is your own."

Loki said with a smile as she looked back down at her book as she began to flip through the pages. Her eyes quickly scanned over it's paging with a smile on her face. She was picking up a rather vast amount of information that could help her illusions. As she was looking into the book, she continued her explanation to Shoko, "More importantly, the only power you actually answer to, is that of my Family. But truth be told, as long as you do your job adequately we honestly won't be involved much in your affairs. We don't  pick the missions, nor does the council. The Citizens bring in requests, when the military can not get something done, or the culprit is too powerful. We do not filter, or pick with ones to give out, we simply mark their possible difficulty level. The Hunters take it from there. Of course there is the possibility, that some use this as a means to assassinate those they wish to get rid of, but that's the job of a competent hunter to figure out... is it not?"

Loki chuckled to herself as the sounds of paper shuffling filled the air. "Ranks, there are no ranks. Just Plateaus. They represent your competence. The more you succeed, the more you gain. The more access to goodies you receive from me. I provide magical items and tools for our hunters. Much like that Healing spell that I used on you earlier, that you pocketed." Loki chuckled, as she turned another page. Her eyes swiftly moving through the pages.

"Lastly what matters most to Hunters, is strength. You start off as Bronze level Hunter, but on your first day you are free to challenge a Gold ranked Hunter. If you win, you get his licence and become gold yourself." Loki smiled as this was the best way to keep Hunters sharp. If their hard earned gains could be taken by a powerful up start, they'd need be constantly sharping their skills, and tactics. It was one of the reasons they were so powerful, and it had become increasingly rarer for such events to happen. Loki looked at Shoko and then said,

"However, you shouldn't assume that you'll just pass the Exam. You should just make sure you survive. The Pass rate is 1%, of the 99% that fail, more than 85% end up dead. You will be the 6th person I have recommended to be a hunter. Of the previous 5 only 1 failed, he also died. My record is 4-1, it's a rather spectacular record... please just try not to make it less so, and I'll be happy."

Loki speech would make it obvious that the 5 before Shoko that she recommended, were all either as strong or stronger than he was. She wanted this to be a sobering moment. The boy was asking too many questions about being a hunter as if he already passed. She couldn't make use of a power warrior to help her city, if he was dead...

[Master Game]

?/70 (E-rank skill training)

Shoko was relieved upon hearing what he wanted from Loki about Hunters... mostly. The perks and benefits seemed like everything Shoko wanted, however there was just a teensy little problem. As any logical creature would, Shoko had his eyes wide and staring off into the distance as he repeated the numbers he'd just heard.

More than 85% death rate.

Shoko possessed intelligence and unsympathetic cunning that was unusual for someone of his age. The numbers made him hesitate. He did not know the abilities or strength levels any of those who'd taken the exam and failed, nor any of those who'd died doing so. All he had to go by was the fact that the average jounin was weaker than a low-tier Hunter. Shoko's soul stilled itself as he thought about things seriously. After several seconds of long silence, Shoko spoke once more.

"I like your answer. But I will not disappoint you." Shoko's strength was something that could not be measured in the conventional shinobi ranking-system that had too many flaws and restrictions. That could only be remedied by working alongisde and fighting against those that were stronger than him. No matter the challenge, as long as it was within his means to succeed, Shoko would at least try.

I've been through too much to die in some exam.

Tall words for a teenager, but Shoko spoke no lies. His lifestyle as a chuunin-rank shinobi and his vast experience in external missions had greatly influenced his perception of the world.

"I'm sure you'll do fine." Loki said as he tossed the book that was currently in her hand behind her as she clearly finished reading it. She then looked over at the pile and made a hand motion. As she made the motion a book began to float out of the stack of books that was there. It opened with a wave of Loki's hand, and then she grabbed it with her free hand. Her eyes immediately began to scan through the pages as an alarming speed.

"The reason the rate is so low, is because the targets are people, who are fully aware, that the Hunters exist, and will go after them. Yet they still have the balls to comment whatever crimes they have." Even among the civilians in the city, who were not part of any military, or fighting unit, had ancient creatures of untold power lurking within their ranks. It was indeed a city of monsters with many powerful creatures. Yet none of them ever made a move on take over the city. Only to try and cut out their own little piece within in.

Loki flipped through her pages as each page that she turned the more information was drilled into her mind. Her eyes were glowing with power, as the information flowed through her. She let out a sigh as she stopped on a page, and read it more closely than the ones before. It seemed she finally found something that was fascinating to her, and could expand her own understanding even further than it was previously.

20/30 Grimoire Tribus post #1

It seemed that Yoko had wondered in on more than a simple book club, rather Loki was at work recruiting people? Yoko carefully listened as the two discussed back and forth talk of the village and how strict and nasty rules were. What a life it must be, to foolishly believe that you were not constrained by a set of rules. Upon Loki's prompt, the young Kraken Lord turned her attention away from her book to gain a feel for the people in the surrounding area.

She began appraising their power to see how best to reply to Loki's questioning. Indeed it seemed highly improbable that the boy's true strength was hidden from her uncanny senses, it was simply a matter of time before she gained an accurate reading on him. She carefully observed the situation as they continued to talk, her initial glances around the area upon her arrival suggested that there could have been a fight.

As best as she could tell he was a relatively powerless creature, fit only to crawl upon the ground. Still, she held no hatred in her heart for him only pity, could he survive on his own? Was that why Loki wanted to recruit him? To gain a new pet. “I've only just met him so it's difficult to say whether he is the right fit. But if you like him, by all means, take him. I assume that you have administered a test.” Her reply was as polite as she could make it given the circumstances, the reality of the situation being that it was mildly offensive that such a creature dared to even speak in her presence.

Loki’s words helped soothe Shoko’s tension, but regardless he had already firmly made up his mind that he would be taking the Hunter exam. Shoko resonated with the concept of Hunters being virtually under no one, but the talk of her family being some kind of passive authority within Alleve’s Hallow raised his interest. It made sense now, but it was funny how the young chuunin did not realize that he was talking to someone of likely noble lineage, at least in Alleve’s Hallow.


Shoko sighed. His attitude towards her wasn’t going to change or anything, he would not think of himself as her subordinate but it was good that he was finding out more about who she was. Freedom to carry out assignments in the way he wanted to without restrictions or being forced to work with someone who would slow him down was also a major factor in the boy wanting to become a Hunter and his will felt unshakeable about the subject.

Loki listened to Yoko and chuckled a bit, "Bit of course. He is currently undergoing it now. He's already met my expectations. He's a bit rough but, that' much there to be molded." Loki grinned as she continued to look through her book after throwing Drav a glance just for a moment. As she read her book, she just shrugged her shoulders. "The only question remains, is... which corner is best to mold him." Loki was just thinking out loud mostly. She knew very well that Yoko had no interest in taking in someone.

Loki already had an idea of who she would be molding in the future, and she was also currently working with Jormungandr. She could provide assistance from the background, but she would not be able to give the boy the full attention needed to unlock his potential. She'd need to observe him more closely to see what corner best suited him, and who he should look to as a mentor. While she was deep in thought her eyes continued to swiftly shift over the pages of the book in her hand. It wasn't long before she closed it, as she finished this one up as well.

Shoko sighed. With his mind made up, there was likely no chance of him going back to Sunagakure. The village had become boring and stifling since the disappearance of his former Kage and the excitement that had first brought him to the land had long died down. Shoko couldn’t imagine spending the rest of his life in such a miserable land, no, he had to push past the limitations of shinobi villages and carve his own way in this wicked world. He’d need to change his name and create a new alias for himself but that was not an issue, he’d long thought about various scenarios and already had a few names and backstories ready for himself.

Shoko decided he would try and find out everything he could about Alleve’s Hallow after today. The country it resided and also other information that Loki likely held back on purpose. With the Hunter exam to look forward to, Shoko knew he was in for long journey, one that could either make or break him.

It seemed that she had absorbed all of the knowledge that she could from this particular book, for the time being at least. Thus, with it having served its purpose Yoko returned it to the stack before looking about for the next thing that she should read. One of the books that took her eye was again bound in leather, this time it had been seemingly dyed to obtain a jade colour, covered in a lavish amount of gold.

Despite its appearance suggesting otherwise to a potential onlooker Yoko suspected that this was the legendary grimoire that contained a response of knowledge on Necromancy. And whilst she had no interest in summoning the dead at this particular moment in time, she was interested in learning more about medical techniques and the study of the alchemical effect of potions on a creature's body. Thus, if able she picked the book up and began to read its content.

It was certainly interesting to know that Loki considered this boy to have potential, given that her own initial assessment of his abilities from appearance alone had found him wanting. Still, there was the possibility that she was merely using honied words to lure him in, to make him believe that he was special. The reality however in Yoko's mind was that he was merely an insignificant existence, devoid of any real power. Still, she had only just and so met him, if such encounters could be called meeting someone. So if Loki judged him to have an element of skill she would not say anything to the contrary for the time being

Shoko sat down on the grassy floor to calm his tense body. He sat with his legs crossed and closed in his eyes inquasi-meditation. He was satisfied with everything he'd heard so far about Alleve's Hallow and Hunters. Looking at Loki, SHoko was curious to know exactly what witches were, knowing that she identified herself as one. The chuunin had no practically no knowledge regarding that of witches other than guessing they were some kind of unorthodox chakra-user. Shoko had wittingly eavesdropped on the conversation between Loki had the little girl, an act that definitely confirmed his suspicions about the girl being different.

Loki had asked her, referring to the boy watchign over her chakra creation whether or not he was worthy to join them. This raised the question of what was them. Shoko thought long and hard about it but knowing that Loki was a kind of chakra-user called a witch and lived in Alleve's Hallow, Shoko figured out that she was referring to him either being worthy to become a witch or worthy to become a citizen of the Hallow, perhaps even both.

It was good to know that the young shinobi had caught Loki's eye and she thought about recruiting him. From the contents of their conversation the boy heard it was obvious thatthey were still testing him on whether or not take him in. Shoko also noted the way Loki talked about 'moulding him into a Corner'. The inquisitive Shoko would ask no questions for the meantime, only observing and gathering information like he'd been trained.
