Megumi looked at him and said "that's alright...my name is Megumi shade...or also known as the Wolf Spirit of the Golden Moon...and I can't lie to the guild. The truth will be just as well understood once they know who I am. You see, for a spirit like me, the old times of spirits were asked for blessings or favors of those who would call upon them. This you know. But what most of my kind never told anyone is that we have to be asked to do anything with a mortal. And I mean anything. Apart from protecting those that a spirit has blessed, like I did for lily and this village like I have in the past....hundred years! I only fight those with a twisted heart and black soul. So when I say I wasn't asked....I really mean I wasn't asked to be branded. Therefore, I couldn't walk into a guild post and be branded. The old spirits are so few now that those of us left needed to protect ourselves, not for our sakes but for those who needed us for protection, for guidance. Now why branding with be a problem....well, the best way to explain it is that my father, the Wolf spirit of the West, did something to me as a pup to keep me from being found and to be branded. That reasoning is a very long story...."
