[color=#ff85a2]“You place too much trust in the stars young one"[/color] Mitsue replied with a hand hovering over her head ready to pat down. An eyebrow cocked up in response to her reply, [color=#ff85a2]“I did too, but I guess he didn’t get the memo either. Being a captain is a drag, but you already have a lieutenant so it’s not like I can step down, Mosumi.”[/color] His hand gently fell to the top of her before retracting back to his side at the sound and presence of the Captain Commander appearing before them demanding their attention. The words of the captain were heavy on Mitsue. The mission itself wasn’t hard nor was it outside of the realm of what he was expecting or used to. Fighting hallows and the stronger classifications of them was only apart of the natural flow of the world; balance among all things. The part that weighed heavy on him was the existence of one in the human realm. While everyone there had forgotten their lives in the human realm, his memories were still as sharp as a bed of needles with his skin pressed to each point. A lesser man would have run from the prospect of having to face his past, but Mitsue was stronger than that and knew it was his burden to shoulder even if no one else knew his struggle. Before he could say or discuss anything in the forum, he was whisked away by a force much greater than gravity. The texture and scent were all too familiar to Mitsue as non-other than the mountain known as taro. The face of the mountain turned to face him sending tremors down his chest from his commanding voice. Stifling around to get his head free he sucked in some air before responding, [color=#ff85a2]“Don’t tell me you’re getting soft on me in old age Taro. Whatever it is, I’m sure we can handle it. Besides it beats being here doing nothing.”[/color] In truth the two of them together were strong enough at this point to have made the old guard seem like weaklings in comparison. Maybe if they had been that strong back then they could have saved more people. His mind refocused on the mission ahead as the portal opened before them almost if it were awaiting and old friend, [color=#ff85a2]“Yeah I could go for some custard right about now. Wonder how Mosumi will fair with her lieutenant. Maybe if we’re fast enough, we can catch up with her.”[/color] Touching down on the world of living felt eerily familiar, the air, the ground, even the sounds were the same as if nothing changed and the world continued even without him. A poignant laugh escaped the space in his lips, admiring the twisted beauty in the world around him. [color=#ff85a2]“I was hoping to make it seem like a natural disaster was happening, you know ghosts and all that, joking aside you’re right. The outskirts are ideal we just need to start looking for clues. If you were a Vasto Lorde where would you be?”[/color] [/color][/indent]
