While running to catch up to the others, Denten starts going off"oooooooo a praying mantis! Can I kill it?" to the praying mantis "Hey where are you taking us? Are you taking us to your layer to eat us? Can I watch? Jeez it's dirty in here! You should really Tidy up a bit before inviting company over! O' boy It is really dank in here too!" since he wasn't getting an answer from it he turns to Finwe and says"Do you really think it is going to eat us? Or maybe it is leading us to an evil wizard that is planing to take over the world! You know like a renegade! Uncle Tas fought one before! It was in haven and the wizard's name was Judith. This happened even before the war of the lance happened! Anyway, Uncle Tas was........" then the kinder prattles on and on and on.

Finwe,follows only to keep an eye on Denten though before he leaves he gives instructions to Kazeijin to fly out and perch on a branch to alert the old man and the minotaur to what has happened in case they come back to an empty cave.As Finwe walked he half listened to the kinders prattle only to be able to give a nod or a "yeah" in the correct places but most of his attention was on the cloaked figure which lead the party, aside from the giant pray mantis.

Oniryu and Hiroshi reached what remained of the village gates. Several buildings had caught fire and/or were now piles of dubris. No matter where they looked there was destruction and death. "So much killing just for one child; why?" Hiroshi said walking through the village.

Both of them heard a soft sound emitting faintly from afar. It came from the direction where the black cat once stood. Only Oniryu could make out the sound clearly: the sound wimpering and crying. Hiroshi looked at him with concern. It was clear that he was unsure of the sound. For all they knew, it could be some kind of trap. As a man whose traveled the world on many occassions, he had seen it done before and once was forced to fight his way out of the situation.

"I'll cover your back," the monk said, following closely behind Oniryu.
As they got to the Black Cat, the bodies of the guards could be seen strewn accross the ruins, many of them were either cut in two or had body parts strewn feet away from the original body. "Those monsters..." the man shook his head.
The sounds came from farther back behind a pile debris.

Curled up in a ball, the maiko from before laid, tears streaked her face as she pressed something bloody in her arms. Feet away lay the body of her oneesan, her head mysteriously missing. "I-I'll do anything, just don't kill me!" the girl cried as heard Oniryu approach.

"They killed oneesan and, and made corpse talk!" the girl cried. Her name was Hitomi and she was orphaned at a young age as her parents died to sickness. All she had in the entire world was her oneesan who, though not related by blood, she looked up to as a real older sister.
"Talk? Are sure that she was dead?" Hiroshi asked and as he walked up to her.
"They'd cut her head off before hand!" She cried, hysterically, clutching the bloody object in her arms tighter. "S-she told them about the cave!"
The monk gasped. "I have to warn them! Oniryu, please continue to search the village for other survivers!" He said before rushing back to the cave.
---
Meanwhile the praying mantis lead them deep into the cave until it reached what looked like to an ancient shrine that hadn't been visted in many years. The mantis did it best to bow to them before moving behind them to return to the cave's entrance.

"Y-yes..." the girl said impishly. "W-why did they do this? What have we ever done to them?" She asked to nobody in particular as she slowly got up and, still clutching the object in her arms, slogged her way out of the ruins of the former tea house. "Where shoud we start?"

Fiwe looked around the temple to find a good place to set and relax. Wile studding the temple he also thought back to his years of learning different religion in the tower so that he might make out what deity this temple was errected for. locating a spot he sat down a mottioned for the rest to do the same."looks like we wait here for them to return so lets sit and wait for them." he said in common and added in kinderspeak."Denten i place you as guard so i need you to make shue that no one desturbes us.Can you do that for me?"

Slowly shadowy figures approached the cave from the cliff, the darkness of night preventing Kazejin to make out if they were allies or enemies.
---
The shrine was designed in the same fashion as the village, but what stood out the most was a number of rose carvings that adorned it. Though the roses reminded him of something, it escape his reach.
"This shrine is devoted to a mighty that our predecessors had worshipped back when this village was a monastary. Somaru, the great founder built this shrine after the monastary was destroyed to protect his faith in the kami. The kami had left the world long ago and very few believe he still exists." Kamiko said. "Even I, a miko raised in our village's temple cannot recall his name. However, I do remember that mantis before was said to be emissary for him... if he has returned then he has lead us her for a reason, but for what reason?"

he looked at the girl in astonishment for she described the vary subject that he was thinking and yet never said a word about it. Maybe it was because he was staring at the shrine.Anyways he needed his rest so that he could replenish his spells.Denten bounced up to him and asked him for some parchment.Wondering what the kinder wanted with parchment and ink he asked Denten"what for?" in the kinder's own language,for he loved the way it sounded second only to the words of his beloved magic.

Finwe sighed for not guessing the intent of the kinder, though some could take it as an irritated sigh at the kinder. Rummeging through his bags he pulled out a piece of parchment and a vial of ink. Handing them over to the kinder he relaxed back as much as he could and made sure that the light hit his hoods in such a way as to hide his face,more importantly his eyes and spoke in common so all could understand, "i must rest now please leave me be."

Besides the shrine that sat in the middle of the cave, the cave was dark, clamy, and full of stalagmites. It was considerably large, 100 feet large, though the shrine took up much of the space, leaving at best a 10 feet space where two adult size humans could stand abreast. The shrine, 80 feet by 80 feet was small, only cable of housing roughly only a handful of people, not considering the space inwhich alters, briars and other usually templish objects can be found. If anything the most peculiar part of the shrine was that it was closed off on all sides with no doors, visible or hidden.
"I've been down in here once or twice in my youth and never have been this far back. I surely don't remember anything about a shrine being here... Where's the door?" Kamiko asked as she studied the shrine.

Ok," Hitomi said, following after Oniryu. All around them was rubble mixed in with the corpses of the dead villagesrs. Blood ran together, creating a series of crimson pools throughout the village.
---
Back in the cave, minutes passed slowly as they awaited for the others' return.
The cloaked figure watched Denten intently, not even caring if anybody saw it do so, but did nothing else. It seemed that the figure could watch the kender all eternity without budging.
Meanwhile, Kamiko sat seiza style praying for the kami to protect the survivors if there were any. Despite being relatively young, her sorrows had already began to age her.

"I wouldn't let your guard down, Oniryu-san, the assaisins could sneak up behind you and slit your throat," Katsumi remanded Oniryu, whispering just loudly enough to be heard as she stood right behind him. He didn't even hear her approach. "You two should be in the cave where it's safe not skulking out here."
---
The assailant's screams could be heard throughout the cave. Kazejin, who flew into the cave without making a sound blood splattered on the ground, the bodies of the assailants strewn around, hacked and bitten. Standing in the mist of the blood was the giant praying mantis. It saw Kazejin and sent a friendly sensation into the bird's mind. Bowing its head, it looked as though it began to pray over the assailant's bodies.

"I see. From what I can find, we've lost nearly half the population. They didn't spare anybody in the slaughter. Male, female, young, old, healthy, sickly, they killed without discrimination..." Katsumi shook her head. "These monsters must be punished for their crimes!"
"Thank goodness you're still alive!" A voice from above them said. ___
The praying mantis entered the back of the cave, stepping aside to let Hiroshi through.
"I was going to warn you that the assassins had found the cave, but it seems we've got a protector. We're in your debt o'great one," the monk said, bowing to the mantis. He took a look at the shrine and was surprised. "I've seen this shrine before..."
