Name: Katana
Type: Blade
Size: Medium
Damage Type: Slashing
Specialty: None
Enhancements: Double Strike

Dexcription: A medium length single edged sword typical from the Crescent Isles, Usually wielded with two hands, it excels as a slashing weapon, it's slightly curved blade helping to extend the contact during a slash while not being so curved that it wouldn't be effective at thrusting. This sword has been at Arashi's side since before he began his journey, crafted by a smith who armed the Crescent Isles army, it's a reminder of both, his training days, and why he began his journey. Although it might go through upgrades and modifications. It is unlikely Arashi will get rid of this sword.

Name: Cloth Wraps
Type: Unarmed
Size: Small
Damage Type: Bludgeoning
Specialty:  Hand to hand
Enhancements: None 

Description: Simple wraps for his wrists and ankles, to diminish chances of injury while training or fighting unarmed, although not the same item, these were Arashi's first "Weapon" as he began training how to fight even before he was allowed to wield a sword, he tended to injure himself by hitting too hard something he didn't have the strength to move or break, and so he tended to get wrist and ankle sprains. One day after patching him up yet again Mizu gifted some of these to him and they helped reduce his chance of injury. Although those first are too small for him now he still keeps them for sentimental value.

Aura of Vulcadreaus:

Your encounter with Vulcadreaus has left its mark on you. A very tiny fraction of Earth Domain Primordial energy now pulsates from your body.

You can feel the energy of the primordial realm around you as it flows back into Charon. Your encounter with the Earth Domain Avatar has left a lingering essence around your spirit (no mechanical effect).

Spirit Bottle:

A bottle of silver, milky liquid, tied with a cord. When this bottle is opened and the drink is consumed, the user has their eyes opened to ghosts and spirits, glazing over and becoming silver like the moon.

Talisman of the Lightning Catalyst:

A long chain necklace containing a topaz-colored lightning catalyst gem at the end which is encased by a mimic slime. As the user wears this necklace, they can select one of the common grafts from Madam Evalyn’s Curiosities. This graft manifests on the user as pure lightning - it possesses the same form, position, and function as the graft from the shop. When the user strikes an enemy with these grafts, it will shock the target and numb the body part that has been struck. These lightning grafts cannot be altered to use the properties of other elements and they do not possess a true corporeal form. The selected graft lasts for three posts and requires a two-post cool down before the talisman can be used again. Two grafts cannot be summoned at once.

Hold Person:


You can touch another being, humanoid or creature, and bend space around them.

Sky Domain:

Lightning Bolt:

By pointing your finger, you send forth a thin, quick beam of lighting shooting out. It will crackle and course through the air in a straight line, blasting through anything in the path of your finger. While it is a thin, easy to dodge beam, it delivers a high amount of damage.

-Deals lightning damage-

Bullet Dash:

By swirling wind and lightning around your person, you create enough of a charge to dash insanely quickly in any direction. Your body blurs forward, dashing at inhuman speeds for a very brief distance. This spell is a great gap closer or spell for dodging quick attacks.

Push/Pull:

By summoning a large amount of wind energy, you can either cause the wind to pull towards you or push away from you. This will happen in one large gust. This spell will either pull all the loose objects in the area towards you, or push it all away from you. This can also effect other people or creatures.

Static Field:

Lightning Armor:

Lightning begins to course around your body, slightly illuminating your form in crackling energy. This armor will shock anyone who touches you while it is own, numbing the body part that it struck. The armor will remain for three post, protecting the user from anyone who comes into melee range. If someone has a limb shocked, that limb will go limp for the next post.

-Deals lightning damage-

Flight:

The peak of sky domain movement, you can now fly, moving through the air as if it was nothing. You surround yourself with wind, lifting up into the air, making yourself able to fly short distances. You still cant soar very high or far, but it is great for battlefield movement.

Phase Blade:

You create a medium sized rod of pure energy, pulsing with lightning and wind energy. This rod gives off a light transparent glow, like a saber of light, which can be held by its caster. The rod deals a medium amount of burning damage that stings and leaves a lasting wound. This rod however is able to pass through objects, such as other weapons or armor. It will phase right through objects dealing direct damage to anything behind it. This makes the weapon hard to defend against.
-Deals lightning and wind damage-

Lightning Lure:

This spell causes five small rods of pure lightning to rise up from the ground. They will radiate energy and shock anyone who touches them. The rods will remain in the location that they are summoned in, but will remain there until activated.

Martial Abilities:

Steel Catch:

A scroll describing an unarmed technique. Fighters who learn this technique can, when necessary, catch an incoming blade with their bare hands while sustaining minimal damage. They clap their hands over the flat of an incoming blade with tremendous speed, halting its progress and momentarily trapping it between their palms. This technique takes a large amount of finesse and can only be used if the fighter was completely unarmed before the incoming attack even began.

Arashi's 

Reversal Slice:

By standing still the user adopts a defensive position with a sheathed blade, keeping their hand on the handle and attention at the ready. If they are attacked by a physical melee or ranged attack the same post they took the stance, they gain a single hit prevention against the attack and can deflect the attack with their own weapon.

The stance can only be used three times per topic but can be cancelled early. If the stance does not block an attack, it does not consume a use of this ability. If multiple attacks are launched within the same post (same use of stance) they each can be blocked, consuming a use of this ability.
EX: If three enemies attack you in one post, all three of your uses can be consumed to block all three attacks at once.

Directly after blocking an attack, the user can retaliate with their own attack, using the same weapon they used to deflect the attack. This attack is considered a free action, a part of the defensive block. After each successful block, the user gains a small buff based on how many attacks have been deflected so far.

First Block
Your next attack with the weapon used to deflect will ignore all physical hit preventions against the blocked enemy. You also now move twice as fast as normal for your next post.

Second Block
Your next three attacks with the weapon used to deflect will ignore all physical hit preventions against any target, blocked or not. Your speed increases again, your movements now blurred, making it hard to track or follow your movements.

Third Block
Your next attack made with the weapon used to deflect will deal a grievous wound, which can not be healed or repaired for the rest of the topic. The attack also moves so fast that the target can no longer dodge or evade using movement, and must physically block the attack.

The pixie will avoid most combat situations and chooses to remain by their owner's side at all times, hovering next to them or resting on their head or shoulders. Once per topic this Pixie can coat its owner in wind magic, which turns all damage the owner would do into wind damage, regardless of the damage type it was before. For the next two post, any source of damage from the owner will be only wind damage, going back to their normal damage types after the duration. Because of how loyal, and jealous, these creatures get, you can only OWN one elemental pixie at a time.

Prestige Classes:

Monk:

The Monk is the master of both internal and external energy, achieving complete mastery over themselves. This culmination of spirit and physical prowess manifests into the ability to manipulate one's spiritual inner energy and effect the outside world with their understanding of the nature of all of things. By combining both the physical and elemental world, a Monk can marry the two, becoming one masterful wielder of both worlds.

Level 1:

Monk Traditions

-Way of the Budo-

Requires Master in Blade, Blunt or Polearm Those who have entered the way of the budo have focused their martial skills, becoming skilled weapon combatants. All items from the Blade, Blunt and Polearm shop now have no weight, losing their point values and no longer encumbering you while worn.

Art and Style
While monks draw their power from within and hone their own bodies with physical training, they are also able to tap into the spiritual world, pulling elemental energy from the world around them. You may choose one of the Arts listed in the Arts Table to add to your repertoire. You can choose any of the seven skills regardless of element or martial skill, letting you dip into other domains while honing your skills.

Art of the Soul:

Some monks ignore the elemental energy of the world around them and instead harness their own raw spirit. You enter a unique trance for the next three post, increasing the range of all your martial attacks by ten feet. When you make an attack with a melee attack, such as a punch or sword slice, a wave of spiritual energy will be released from the attack, allowing the attack to become ranged. Once during this duration, you can channel all of the spiritual energy to fire out a 20 foot long beam of raw energy. This will end the Art early but will prevent any one struck by the beam from using spells or class abilities for their next post.

Level 2:

Myriad Barrier:

Tapping into the world around them, monks have learned to balance both the physical and elemental world, adapting their bodies to the energies of the universe. When you use an Art from the listed table, you gain a resistance to the element that correlates to the art used, keeping the resistance until you use a new Art. While resistant you will take half damage from that specific damage type, can not be killed (knocked unconscious) by that elemental type and any effects of that damage type that effect you for more than one post will have the duration of that effect lowered by one.

More Style:
Having increased your ability and have grown closer to the spiritual realm, the monk has attuned further, allowing you to choose another art from the listed table. You can still choose any of the arts you have not already chosen, regardless of elemental or martial skill.

Art of the Storm Bow

Lightning begins to course around your body, creating a small electric field up to ten feet from your person that moves with you. This last for three post and any enemy who enters this field will be delivered a terrible shock that will stun them for one post. If stunned they can not make any offensive actions, such as attacking or casting a spell (they can still move however). Once during the duration you can summon a bow of pure crackling lightning. From this bow you can fire a single bolt of lightning, which will penetrate up to two barriers (such as a wall) and will ignore hit preventions.

Level Three

Martial Prodigy
Now as a master of the spiritual arts, you have elevated yourself to the highest order one can be, a true Master. You have earned the right to create your own Art, or martial ability, bringing your own skills and techniques to the table. You can craft one Martial Art that is related to your Martial skill or Arcane domain. You will receive this art upon creation. All arts that are created by masters of this class will be stored below, allowing you the ability to earn more Arts created by other people. In order to earn another Master's art, you must complete the quest below.

SPOILER: Click to show

-Monastery Quest-
You can obtain a Master Art created by another master by completing this quest. In order to do the quest, you must roleplay with another character with the Monk Prestige Class (does not have to be the one who created the art). Your topic must be you training with the other monk to learn the desired Art. How you do this is completely up to you. The topic itself must reach at least 5 post with each post being 150 words or more. Once you have completed this quest you can add the Art you were training for

Void Slash: 

The user concentrates their mana into their blade and performs a slow starting but swift slice vertically in front of them, this can do one of two things: it can either do hefty non elemental magic damage to whatever it hits or it opens a portal in front of them that anything entering it will exit at another point within 20 feet. This can be used to block or redirect attacks or for nearly instantaneous movement. Once this has been used it can't be used again for three posts.

Before your time:

Having increased your ability and have grown closer to the spiritual realm, the monk has attuned further, allowing you to choose another art from the listed table. You can still choose any of the arts you have not already chosen, regardless of elemental or martial skill.

Art of the Iron Fist:

 Your arms, (shoulder down) and your legs (hips down) become coated in stone for the next three post, making your melee attacks sturdy and impactful. Your melee attacks will now deal earth damage that is not considered magical. Each limb gains one hit prevention (does not stack with armor) and once per duration you can redirect one elemental ranged spell, causing it to deflect, bounce, or channel off of your body.

The Path of the Elementalist:

Level 1:

Primordial Paths:

The primordial paths of the Elementalist draw on the energies of the Primordial Planes and the very essence of the domains and elements, allowing them to claim mastery over their chosen paths as they weave fantastical elemental magic, that has been further enhanced by the loosening of the planar veil caused by the destruction of the Sol Stone. When you achieve Master level in the elemental Domains, you unlock paths to invest into with your growing ties to the Primordial Plane.

• Master Skill in a Domain allows you to open up three pathways (this counts for each time you achieve master rank in one of the three elemental domains).
• Sea Domain opens the Paths of Water and Ice, Earth Domain opens Fire and Earth, Sky Domain opens Air and Lightning.

Level 2:

Partial Elemental Manifestation:

An Elementalist is capable of manifesting the properties of an elemental over a chosen portion of their body. The elemental type is based on which paths you have opened and with multiple paths open, you can choose which elemental type you want to manifest. These properties, based on what element is chosen, are as follows: Immunity to that specific elemental damage, the ability to move through solid objects, and causes contact damage of that elemental type. This level of manifestation lasts for three posts

Level 3:

Enhanced Primordial Paths:

You have further tapped into the energies of the Primordial Plane, giving you even more ways to bend the elements to your will. When you achieve Exalted level in the elemental Domains, you unlock more paths to invest into with your growing ties to the Primordial Plane.

• Exalted Skill in a Domain opens an additional three pathways (this counts for each time you achieve exalted rank in one of the three elemental domains).        
• Sea Domain opens the Paths of Water and Ice, Earth Domain opens Fire and Earth, Sky Domain opens Air and Lightning.
• With Exalted Skill in all Domains you should have a total of eighteen pathway points to spend.

Full Elemental Manifestation:

Achieving further mastery has allowed the Elementalist to evolve their Partial Manifestation into a full body physical transformation of that chosen elemental type. The duration remains the same, and you may now move through solid objects with your whole body, cause contact damage based on the element that you are manifesting with any part of your body, and whole body immunity to all elemental damage of the corresponding element.

Pathways:

Sky Domain:

Air:

Windtalker: Your elemental attachment to the realm of air is all encompassing and gifts you with the ability to harness and guide airflow around you up to ten feet in all directions. This culminates in the ability to push and pull objects within ten feet of you that weigh 1 point or less, as well as letting you levitate a foot off the ground permanently.

Lightning:

Bolt Dancer: Whenever you use the Lighting Bolt spell you can instead of damaging with it, move with the bolt itself materializing where it ends. This has a one post cooldown between uses but can be used any amount of times in a thread.

Electrical Surge: As you cast lightning spells you built up static charges within yourself. 1 charge for Novice, 2 charges for Master, and 3 charges for Exalted level spells. You can never have more then 4 charges at a time, and you may spend these charges to enhance a spell one stage higher then it currently is for the purpose of damage and clashing. You do not gain charges for a spell that was enhanced with charges.

Static Synapses: If you posses static charges from other Path of Lightning abilities you can use them in hand to hand combat to paralyze and control the movement of your foes. If you posses any charges you can release them upon a successful melee attack to stun the affected limb for an equivalent amount of posts equal to the static charges you used.

Magnetism: You can magnetize any metallic object that you effect with a spell or ability that deals lightning damage placing a static charge upon it. This allows you to freely manipulate the object and whatever is attached to it when within ten feet of you.

 

Snap, Crackle, Pop: Any spell or ability that is currently using charges from Electrical Surge can as an alternative effect from enhancement, produce a foot diameter sphere of electrical discharge in the area when activated by this ability. This electrical discharge produces a brief moment of paralysis that lasts a single post. The number of charges that are being used affects the number of times the Elementalist can activate the electrical discharge.

Subclasses

Oniwanban Foot soldier:

Multi-Attack:

The Oniwanban Footsoldiers are trained in the ways of the mighty Bushi of the Isles and are capable of attacking with rapid speed. Three times per topic, when an Oniwanban Footsoldier attacks with a melee weapon they make an additional attack in the same moment. This can stack with the Double strike enhancement allowing for three strikes in the breadth of one motion. This also affects weapons indicated in the Throwing Arts ability.

Gun Brace:

The Oniwanban have used the black powder supplies they steal for another purpose as well, arming their operatives with a brace of two pistols that have an over under double barrel architecture. Each pistol has two shots per topic. The pistols are of solid enough construction that they can be used as clubs or tonfa like weapons as well and the gun itself can be enhanced with enhancements from the Blunt Shop.

-Has one enhancement slot that only affects the pistols when used as clubs or tonfa.-

Throwing Arts:

The Footsoldier is never without a weapon as long as they have a sharpened stone or length of metal. Ninja Stars, Throwing Knives, and Blowguns have twice the amount of ammo and an extra enhancement slot when wielded by an Oniwanban Footsoldier as they have been taught the secret ways of shurikenjustsu long used by the Oniwanban.

Climbing Arts:

Foot soldiers are experts in getting to their targets and allow nothing to stand in their way. They have perfected the ability to scale walls and hazardous inclines without getting hurt or triggering traps. Walls, barriers or other obstacles can easily be scaled or maneuvered over without slowing the foot soldier down at all. They also ignore obstacles such as spikes or hot water, and do not trigger traps intended to prevent movement, on or off the ground.

Tools of the Trade:

The Oniwanban use unconventional weaponry that can be quickly converted into other more mundane items if the need arises. As a member of the Oniwanban you also have access to the below items:

The Monk Spade
The Monk Spade is a staff used commonly by the traveling monks of the Isles, and sports a crescent moon on one end and a stylized spade tool head on the other side. Both are razor sharp on either the inner or outer edges of either end and are as durable as the stone itself.

Cookie the wind Pixie!

Hatching:

Since getting the strange Yellow Egg Arashi has been taking care of it diligently, not really knowing what he should do to make it hatch he tried... many things...

obviously he tried Sitting gently on the egg (Incubators are not a thing in Charon and he doesn't have a chicken and wont buy one just for that, don't judge!) but after a few days of unsustainable boredom he gave up on that.

Then he tried singing to the egg: "Arashi had a little egg, little egg, little egg. Arashi had a little egg it's shell bright like the sun. everywhere Arashi went, Arashi went, Arashi went, everywhere Arashi went the egg was there with him"
he didn't keep that up for long, it didn't seem to work and everyone looked at him weird.

He tried talking normally with the egg to let it know that he was there for it: "Hello! I hope you hatch soon! I think I've been taking good care of you haven't I? please hatch... Can you tell me if you're ok? no? well I'll give you your space... just call me if you need anything ok?" and that wasn't working either...

He bought toys for whatever was in the egg in case that could give it some motivation to hatch: "Do you want the ball, the feather on a string, or the cute plushie? hmmm... you don't know? ok I'll get them all! just in case you like them"

after about a month, the egg began shaking Arashi was nearby and cuddled it gently on his arms. "It's happening it's happening!" as the eggshell cracked he felt like he was about to explode, finally all those days would bear fruit, in his very own... "A pixie!" he Gasped "Welcome to the world little one!" As the pixie soon to be known as Cookie rubbed her eyes awake. Arashi was happy and proud. but he forgot one thing... he hadn't thought of a name.

"Oh! Hi!!" The wind pixie seemed excited "Are you my dad? what's your name..? well... what's my name?" she seemed a bit confused but also happy, everything was new and exciting, and this pretty much applied to both of them. "I guess I am? I've been taking care of you for a bit before you hatched... Although Dad sounds like too much of a title, I don't know if I'm ready for it" Arashi chuckled a bit nervously "Oh yes I remember your voice! well I don't know about being ready but I'm choosing you as my dad!" the pixie flew around and excitedly "Oh well... I guess I can't argue with that, I'm Arashi and you..." and here it comes he was very bad at choosing names mostly for things that had to stick. so he went for something obvious, the traditional word for air on the isles "how about Kuki?" the pixie gasps and covers her mouth then jumps, or well flies a bit higher, excitedly "I love it! I like cookies! they're sweet and tasty!" Arashi was a bit taken aback that's not what he meant at all... but he didn't have the heart to tell her that wasn't her name after she expressed such a liking to it.

And so Cookie was born and would join Arashi on his adventures all over the world!

Personality:

Cookie is cheerful, sweet, and well meaning, as well as quite the extrovert and sometimes a bit mischievous. While she doesn't like to make trouble for Arashi she definitely pushes him out of his comfort zone at every opportunity she gets, not necessarily for a laugh, although she does sometimes laugh, but mostly to help him grow and be more at ease. very attached to him as most pixies are, she is a bit jealous but will definitely look out for Arashi, his best interests and those he cares about.

Mizu Kagami, The Sea Domain Apprentice/Arashi's Childhood Caretaker.

Appearance & Personality:

 

Mizu is a 30 year old woman, with long blue hair and blue eyes, she's a bit shorter than Arashi now standing at 5'6 while caring and sweet, she also steps up to defend those she cares about, and can be very fearsome when angered. Although very patient she knows how to put her foot down, an ability learned while taking care of Arashi when he was little. She has a sweet-tooth and always tries her best to make everyone around feel safe and cared for.

Backstory: Mizu the Daughter of a servant at the Tento Household, Worked around the house as well, and was tasked from a young age to take care of Arashi, She was tasked with this at Age 7 when Arashi was just 2. She always took her job seriously but also had a huge soft spot for him, reading him stories, giving him treats, and taking him around the gardens. It's likely that Arashi's sweet-tooth was partially her fault, since she always had something sweet to share with him. as they grew together Mizu took more care of him than anyone on his family, she also taught him stuff, and made sure he practiced properly.

In Hindsight Mizu might be the reason why Arashi turned out to be different from his parents... Arashi didn't have many friends other than her, until Celeste came around, at which point she mostly kept out of their way, wanting Arashi to be with friends his age and develop healthy long lasting relationships.

When She was 13 Mizu's mom fell ill and tragically passed away, being her only family Mizu was devastated, Arashi did his best to comfort her and try and cheer her up, he picked flowers for her, made her a few drawings, even tried to learn baking to prepare some of the sweets she liked so they could share them... And while they brought a smile to her they obviously weren't a fix... But it was enough to keep her in good spirits while taking care of him.

A few years after, Mizu was 15 and she was at that point where she didn't see a sense in it all... She cared a lot for Arashi, but he was hanging with Celeste a lot and at some point he wouldn't need her anymore, She had no real family to speak of... and Arashi's parents always seemed suspicious to her... like they were hiding their true nature, she didn't know much of what they did or thought, Since she served Arashi and not them. But she just wasn't sure what to do with her life... she wasn't dissatisfied, but what if she wasn't needed anymore at some point..? One day while talking with him, She let some of this out. 

"Hey! what's up Mizu?" a 10 year old Arashi saw her letting out a long sigh as she cooked for him, his family was away, so it was just the two of them for now. "N-nothing... I really shouldn't bother you with this..." Arashi frowned at her response, "Well, It's not a bother! Besides! you're always doing stuff to help me out! if you have some trouble I want to help you out too!!" She giggled a bit, "Well If you put it like that..." She thought for a second before another sigh escaped her, "It's just... I don't really know what to do..." He raised an eyebrow, to him it always seemed like she knew exactly what to say or what to do! "I mean... I have no family... and I know no one my age... I-I... what will I do once you grow up and don't need me anymore? I don't have anywhere to go, I don't have friends or family... a-and the truth is that I'm scared of being alone" As Mizu said Arashi put his hand on hers "That will never happen! besides once I'm a hero, we can have adventures together! You'll never have to be alone because I will always be by your side!" Mizu's eyes were beginning to tear up "You're too sweet... But you'll make friends, and have your own adventures... maybe even get a cute girlfriend or something... there will be no need for me anymore..." Arashi shook his head "Nu-huh! I'll always love you Mizu! you were there for me more than anyone! Since before I even remember!" He Hugged Mizu, hoping to make her feel better... "I wish I could find someone like you... but you know... someone that isn't like my little brother" she giggled a bit at her comment, not realizing she had actually broken Arashi's little heart at that point... He's had a bit of crush on her for a bit now... but she didn't even realize how he felt, that is how things usually go though, as he would hopefully learn at some point...

Not much after it was the fateful night when Arashi's parents set out to destroy the Seiko family, Arashi still young was asleep when his parents finally returned, but Mizu wasn't, she overheard something she shouldn't have when they arrived... shocked and in disbelief she demanded an explanation... that didn't go to well, Arashi's parents fired her on the spot and threatened her, exiling her out of the crescent isles before she found out more... She had no choice but to leave as she was shoved out by the guards as if she was an intruder in the house she was born in and lived at her entire life...

The next day Arashi's parents told him she had ran away with a secret lover, saying how she resented him for taking so much of her life away from her, how she had grown to hate him, and how she had longed for years to get out of the accursed island with someone actually worth anything... Arashi didn't take it well... much less after he was told that Celeste's family met a tragic end at the hands of an angry mob... He began feeling alone in the world...

But that wasn't the end of Mizu's story, thankfully she knew some magic, and after proving herself, and taking some entry exams, she managed to get into the magic academy, were she was attending to this day.

The Reunion: One day as her time on the academy was nearing it's end she was preparing for her final test, being sent as someone's magic apprentice. She had previously heard of a 'tragic' earthquake destroying the Tento family house and killing those inside, even if she hated Arashi's parents She still hoped he at least survived and was doing well... it's been years since it all happened, but she wondered what kind of person Arashi grew up to be... at some point through the spread of rumors, she found out a single person, the new head and basically only living member of the Tento family was rebuilding on their family's ground, It must be Arashi! It has to be! So she did her best to get sent as an apprentice to the Crescent Isles, and start her apprenticeship under him.

It was a quiet evening, the sun was setting and Arashi was just finishing hammering a few nails... the construction was going well, but he didn't precisely have a fortune so he was doing most of it himself... with a bit of help from a few workers, but at this time it was just him placing the finishing touches on the small shack that would be the first step into rebuilding the manor.

Over the hill behind him, a woman looked at him she stared a little without him noticing before calling out "Hey lil' 'Rashi!" the only person who had called him something similar lately was Celeste, but it didn't sound much like her, besides she wouldn't be here... He turned around and dropped his hammer which clanged against the stone floor, startling Cookie in the process. "Mizu!!" He ran towards her with all the enthusiasm of a child. Cookie was surprised by the reaction and began flying behind him "How have you been? where have you been?? I thought I'd never see you again!" Mizu just giggled a bit she was older now but still had the same cute giggle, "I'm fine... I see you're hard at work? I've been at the academy mostly..." Arashi began crying a little as he hugged her... "I thought... they made me think you hated me..." She hugged him back "Why am I not that surprised... I could never hate you... I've known you since you were a baby..." His hug tightened a little "I missed you..." She smiled as she teared up as well, "I missed you too my little Soldier boy" She giggled, and then Noticed Cookie "Oh? Who's that?" Arashi turned to see Cookie curiously watching them both "Oh She's Cookie!" Cookie waved "Hiiii! I'm Cookie! I'm a wind pixie! And... your little warrior is my dad!" she giggled with the last part "Oh? a dad already? who would've thought you'd move that fast!" a soft laughter escaped her as Arashi blushed a little, "N-not like that!!" 

And so Arashi was reunited with his childhood caretaker they exchanged stories and what each of them had been up to. it was nice to see her again, it brought him back to being a kid... And knowing Mizu she'd have no trouble helping take care of cookie.
