The rat person swings the handheld scythe at Edward in a tipsy motion, Edward dodges out of the way of another swing of the razor sharp scythe, Edward's Aura flows through his vains, while using his Sharingan to hide his Aura and scarlet red colored eyes, poised for a fight.
Sharingan: lvl 2 (active)
Ten: lvl 1 (active)
"Woah, woah, I think you should calm down there." A Beautiful, young light skinned woman remarked standing in front of the fierce looking rat. "Get out of my way, Sebeth, I need to teach this lost child; some respect." The rat angrily remarked.
"Stay thy hand Razovich, lett the boy alone, I am the one how called him to me, be not angered by his actions." Zadgeif remarked protectively. Edward gave Zadgeif a thankful nod, he walked over to Aliaster's friend's hut. Razovich glares at Edward with annoyance, wiping the remnants of Ale from his mouth. "I'll let this one slide, but only this single time, next time I won't be so lax." Razovich remarked warningly.
Ten: lvl 1 (inactive)
Edward walked inside the brick house, releasing an annoyed breath. "Don't let that pretty little head of yours worry about Razovich, his clan hold their Ale to high regard," Sebeth spoke in a sweet tone. "Thank you Zadgeif, you didn't have to do that for me." Edward remarked with a thankful smile. "No need little warrior, I saw you needed my help and I gave it," Zadgeif remarked nonchalantly.
"No, It was I who called Edward over, you took on that burden for us, I am glad to have a friend like you at my side." Aliaster remarked with thankfulness. Zadgeif puts his hand up in objection. "You would have done the same. I just beat you to it." Zadgeif joked. They all laugh at the situation. "So, what brings you back so early from your hunt Aliaster?" Sebeth questioned.
"Ah, nothing much, just helping my new friend here, make his way to the nearest inn." Aliaster shrugged. "Hm, is that all, you being someone's escort?" Sebeth retorted. "How about we let the chaperoned speak for himself." Zadgeif remarked gesturing to Edward. "Uh, well, can't really say much, just that I'm on an important assignment." Edward replied. "Oh, so mysterious, If you're not comfortable in talking about it, then that's your right." Sebeth remarked smiling with understanding.
"Hah, maybe I can let you in on some of it." Edward relented. "Yess." Sebeth pumped her fist. "Does she always do, that." Edward questioned. "Well, yes, in moments of her curious little head over there." Zadgeif confirms. The air becomes frigid, like cold waters unraveling into a scenery of secrecy.
"I'm on a mission, I have to free myself and others, and uncover lost truths." Edward remarked with seriousness. "Wow, are your a monk?" Sebeth remarked curiously. Edward looked at his clothing then touched its fabric. "I don't look like a monk," Edward remarked semi jokingly. "So your are an adventure of some kind?" Zadgeif commented. " I wouldn't call myself an adventure, I'm just a normal kid passing through." Edward replied.
"So you're just a traveler?…., that, shouldn't be possible." Sebeth expressed. "Sebeth, I think you should ease him through this new stage of life." Zadgeif lightly cautioned. "Okay, Edward right, you might want to sit down for this." Edward pulls out a chair and promptly sits. "I'm going to ask you a question and you have to answer honestly," Sebeth remarked with seriousness. "Are you from beyond the Mist?" Sebeth asked. "It's kinda obvious, I'm not from here." Edward replied.
Sebeth gave a worried look to Aliaster. "Oh this is bad," Sebeth remarked. "Am I like a bad omen or something?" Edward knowingly quipped. "Very astute Edward, you are right on the money." Zadgeif praised. An elderly woman walks out of the cooking room. "I would have expected Zadgeif to bring someone new to Sanctuary, but you Aliaster, now that is a surprise," the elderly woman remarked. "Mother Grechinn?!" Aliaster bowed deeply.
Sebeth and Zadgeif followed moments after. Sebeth looks at Edward with slight concern, "Uh, sorry for my apparent rudeness." Edward tried to bow, "Do not worry little one, I am not offended by your lack of knowledge of our customs. "But heed my advice little one, do not reveal to anyone of your…. Foreigner status. You may see it as yourself passing through. But the natural see an outsider as a harbinger of misfortune. The natural look upon Garou as nonsensical devil possessed, creatures, but outsiders are done greater disservices." Grechinn warned with a serious edge. Edward nods in understanding.
The air calms, Grechinn puts a tray of what looks like garlic bread with a side of yogurt on the table. "Wow, this is amazing Mother G," Sebeth spoke with food in her mouth. "So, where do you hail from?" Zadgeif remarked. "Um what!?" Edward looked with confusion. "He means, what world did you come from young one." Grechinn remarked.
"Oh, well I um, live in Smallville, It's a large town in a State called New Kansas." Edward replied. "Oh nice, what is that, is it like a village under a kingdom or?" Sebeth smiled with curiosity. Edward sighs, going on a small but long explanation on what a state and a country is. "So you choose these Government Officials by voting on who's policies is more in line with this, Constitution?" Sebeth looked at Edward too see with she was correct. "Yup." Edward confirmed after a not so short conversation about Government and State.
"But anywho, why is everyone celebrating?" Edward remarked with inquiring. "Ah, I'm glad you asked little warrior, we Zōi'Ķërī commemorate once a month, this day, not only to Grettiea, but to the clansmen of Zōi'Ķërī nation who graciously fell during the time of The Great Cleansing, therefore we do not mourn their passing, but celebrate their lives, they're strides to protect the generations who come after." Grechinn remarked with remembrance to the past.
Edward listens attentively, looking on with child like wonder, Sebeth mimicking with her head on her hands. "Well the night is young, I must go and start on my famous zadratch stew." Grechinn expressed in delight. "Good evening Mother Grechinn." Edward remarked with a wave. Grechinn makes her way out of Zadgeif's hut.
"Since your so interested, why not join in the festivities," Sebeth spoke to Edward with invite. "I might join you later in the evening, I have other matters to attend too, so can't for right now." Edward asserts. "Come on, just for a couple minutes, please." Sebeth softly pleaded. Zadgeif pants his hand on Sebeth's shoulder. "Ugh, fine. But give your word, you will be there for the celestial onclave." Sebeth pointed her finger to Edward. Edward puts his hands up in surrender. "I give you my word, and maybe you could save me a dance or two." Edward remarked with friendliness.
Sebeth nods in acceptance, enclosing her pinky finger with Edward then touching thumbs. "That's a promise then." Sebeth remarked in an agreement like tone. Edward curtly makes his way out of the hut, walking to an unassuming section of forestry.

"Ok, time for a training montage!" NEXUS declared. "That will come in due time my perverted friend, for right now I'll just read from Athïnations book, then I'll start training my Ten," Edward replied. Edward sits under a dark oak tree and opens the book, he reads, delving into the sophisticated menagerie of knowledge, to the primitive world of the Athïnian's, to the higher futuristic machinery and building blueprints that cover the pages from head to toe. Long minutes pass. Edward stops on page 10, he smiles closing the book satisfied.
"Glad the photographic memory stayed with my Sharingan," Edward praised. "Now then, let's get started." Edward remarked cracking his fingers.
1 hour later -
Ding! [Ten has reached level 15] ~ (You are now a practitioner, you can now preform Ten passively, no longer needing to activate it manually having better control over your Ten)
[Sharingan reached level 8] ~ (You've gained a 30% increase to your environmental awareness. Your gen-jutsu not only manipulates other memories, you can now give simple 1 sentence commands to anyone under your eyes influence)
"Nice, so your in a constant of Ten, now that's pretty damn cool." NEXUS praised. "That's only just the start of it." Edward remarked smiling. Edward takes the dungeon artifact out his Inventory, looking at it contemplative on what he'll receive. With no time to waste he breaks it.
