The woman took a deep breath once she was finished talking, the legless body of her minion looking around at both Jiang and Gin who wanted him to stop. Jiang especially got her attention as he was actually pleading. The Zhuni grumbled something to herself before letting go of Yuudai, her aura returning to normal as she reached out towards the inactive minion on her side. One of the bone like shapes shot out of her hand and into his head, causing him to suddenly jump to his feet and looked around at everyone.  At the same time the legless one suddenly deactivated, the bone falling out before being absorbed into the ground.  [color=a187be]"As I said, I have a mission to complete so I'm not going to kill her. I was just trying to have a bit of fun by having these guys attack you, a little test of sorts before I actually did my job. My mother said if you broke so easily we could find someone else, I figured after some minor trouble you would take them out and I'd say I was just playing.  Until what just happened and she said some things that offended me. But whatever."[/color] She shrugged before her smile returned to her face and she simply picked up her other weapon so she could sheath it.  

[color=a187be]"I was sent here to make sure you guys aren't wandering around and wasting your time. She may not be active much in this region but My mother is Nohime the Ki Witch, and nothing escapes her sight.  She knew about the thieves before they set out for your relics and we know where they are now.  They are small fry, hired on by two women who have been after similar things from other more distant clans.  My mother supports you in the journey to get them back, having some theorizes of her own about what they are up to.  We play the long game and as such are waiting for more concrete information on the women behind them and other strange occurrences.  The thieves will have a long journey with the relics and they have more things to take on this Island, and beyond that more chaos will spread here and beyond.  My mother recommends focusing on getting nearby places prepared for their own issues, and maybe helping with them. It doesn't matter though the only thing we insist on is being prepared to have to do some really terrible things at some point in the future. I will also leave you with some help on searching, one of the thieves has been partially corrupted and now has a purple tint to his skin that is getting worst.  And within Ru is a traveling woman who plays music from a foreign instrument, she may have more information on what is happening in the more distant clans and their own relics."
