[madayag808]

Following the past few months of his father’s death and leaving his home and family Koji Fujiwara continues his journey, During his journey he has been visiting temples and special areas learning more on his path of Onmyoji. Koji also has been taking time visiting villages and helping those in need enjoying music and good food, but of course his favorite thing to do is enjoying nature and spending quality time enjoying blessings around him.

Koji finally leaves a village he was resting and assisting villagers, Came upon a small temple paying his respects and lay some flowers and said a small prayer, He continues down the path that lay him into a forest. As he follows the path through the forest Koji’s thoughts were consumed by the events of the past. “Father… I will Avenge you… I will show those elders that I am Worthy to be a master Onmyoji… They’ll See…” When suddenly he was taken away from his thoughts as a scream pierced the air: Someone was in danger.

Koji begins to run towards the scream and came upon a person that look like a village leader, He shouted, “Priest please help a child that has been playing near our village temple is being attack”. Koji told the village leader, “ Please show me the way.” Koji came upon the temple and seen a girl playing and a evil spirit started to run towards the child, Koji steps in between of the child and shouted to the spirit, “ Stop right there!”

The Evil Youkai (Spirit) starts to speak, “Oh what is this a young Onmyoji who thinks they can stop me, You are to weak and only a Master can defeat me, I will eat this girl and turn this village under my control you are worthless.” Koji speaks “Silent! You will not have your way begone from this place I will purify and send you where you belong.” Koji draws protection talisman to protect the girl and the crowd, The Youkai started attacking straight forward to Koji, Koji draws his staff and pointed to the ground casting a light spell to keep the youkai at bay, Koji grabs the girl and take her to safety in the protection area, After that he focus on the attack, 2 other youkai started to attack koji from the flanks, Koji draws his family blade and quickly remove those youkai, The leader of the Youkai was getting angered and cast out a black spell that turned the area dark, The Youkai then speaks, “ This is my strongest attack you can never beat us, You have disarmed you have no where to go.” Koji then dispel the area with his praying beads, The youkai was shocked and defeated, The youkai speaks, “You are just a child how is this possible?” Koji speaks “I am Koji Fujiwara Master Onmyoji and I hereby Purify you and send you away.” The Youkai disappears in defeat.

The people of the village was shocked but in awe, The village Leader speaks” I am Kenji Leader of this village of Kagawa on the behalf of my people I say thank you for saving us all my Lord.” It is not a problem may you all go in peace and love, The parents of the girl goes to Koji Thanking him for saving their daughter. Kenji shouts let us celebrate this hero, And the village starts shouting Koji, Koji, Koji. The journey continues for Koji Fujiwara Youngest Master Onmyoji for the people.

Amidst the gaining chants and cheers of the gathering villagers, an angered screech soon drowned out the voices of the village-folk, signaling the unfortunate truth that the youkai attack had not ended with the small grouping that had entered the village to attack the child moments earlier. Several thudding foot falls would capture the attention of all in the area before the crashing of a few trees as a large creature came burst into view. With a mighty few flaps of it's wings, the Hane no Haeta Kappa (winged kappa) glided into view and made the ground tremble as it landed in front of the onmyoji, rage apparent in it's eyes as it craned it's head down from it's long neck to glare at him. "You onmyoji, you would dare to defy my will to keep this village as my own to do as I please with? I will see to it myself that you find retribution for what you have done to my brethren!" The creature faintly reeked of stale wetlands and it's appearance even seemed a bit grungy with parts of it caked in dirt or oils rather than just seeming wet from arising from a watery habitat. "Behold the depths of my strength!"

Unusually, it could be observed that this winged kappa was nearly four to five times the size one would regularly be seen, and the energy felt from it was noticeably off, almost as if it was tainted or oddly sinister in some way than most of it's kind would seem. As the kappa outstretched it's wings once more, it's hair-like feathers seemed to drip more of the smaller ones that had attempted to abduct the child earlier and a nauseating, dirty swamp-water smell permeated the air as the several more fully formed in preparation to began another assault upon Koji, about seven in total. The strange ability this youkai had along with it's seemingly rabid appearance would give away that it certainly was far from normal: surely kappa sometimes lived in colonies, but never had it been seen for one to create more from it's own self in such a manner. There was little doubt that the unprecedented nature of this being would give the young master an inkling something was certainly wrong with this situation, even with some cases of kappa attacking human children, they were oft not nearly this vicious in temperament or thirsting for revenge when bested either - something truly foul about this youkai was at play.

"This village belongs to ussss," one of the off-cast kappa hissed while another joined in speaking up, "Their offspring will be our sustenance, the rest will bow to our bidding or perish!" With menacing strides upon their bird-like feet, they took to hemming in the opposing onmyoji, another piping in a comment, "you are a fool to think yourself capable of stopping all of ussss. Now is the moment of your downfall!" Many of the villagers backed away in fear and some held a hand over their nose and mouth to stave off the stench of putrid water that came from the youkai. There were few equipped to handle such an ordeal, or at least in this short of notice after a moment of celebrating the heroic actions of Koji, leaving them once more to turn to his aide. In the moments many were backing up with the circling of smaller winged kappa encroaching to surround the young onmyoji, another child tripped and began crying in the fuss, gaining the attention of one of the lesser kappa. In a whirling fury, the one distracted whipped around and tore after the child in a hungered frenzy, intending to scoop the defenseless one in it's clutches to feast on while the remaining six all dove in a coordinated effort at Koji, looking to end him in a singular group effort as the clear leader of them laughed. "Die! Die and be gone from my path! Once you are out of my way, this child will become my first meal," it chortled in a crazed, loud squawk, confident there was no room for failure over the single human standing in it's way.
