This strange place had a bizarre air about it. Watsuji was in less than a pleasant mood in regard to just about everything at the moment. His strange angry ancestor, Hideyoshi trotted several feet back from him in his loud clanking Iyozane armor. The events which lead them to the village they would inevitably discover were strenuous and quite frankly a bit embarrassing. It was all too much to take in, really. While most who had arrived in the strange land had likely begun the process of of deciphering it’s meaning or perhaps they’d arrived already familiar with that knowledge. Watsuji was instead lost in his head not understanding how Hideyoshi had been freed into the physical world and whether or not he would ever return to his container.
The stench of death seemed to pierce the young samurai boy’s nostrils. The people of this village seemed destitute. Pale and cold men, women, and children huddled together in the ruins of a land that appeared to be pillaged almost entirely. A wheeping elderly woman stood alone at the edge of the woods, shouting and screaming into it with all of her might. With further inspection she was shouting names. “Excuse me, venerable lady. What is wrong? Who are you searching for, if I may offer myself in service to relieve your troubles...step away fr....” from within the woods a terrifying skittering sound would rustle through the bushes at great speed and snatch the old woman up, dragging her into the woods and far away. Her screams drowning out as she left earshot.
Watsuji stood gripping his blade, staring into the looming woods as the sun clipped over the tree line and began to fade. The young boy was mortified. This was not like watching criminals die, or even being beaten senseless by oppressive police forces. Innocent life was snatched away by some sort of spider-like horror. His anger, like a pot of water on high heat, finally reached a boil. He screamed out in anger as tears streamed down his eyes “COWARD! YOU ARE NOTHING BUT AN INSECT TO BE SMASHED UNDER MY SANDLES, WRETCHED CREATURE!” with that he darted into the dark woods after the woman, Hideyoshi protesting quietly but following Watsuji nonetheless, as the spirit knew if the boy fell, so would he.
Through brush, brambles and the dark veil of the woods, Watsuji stormed forward in anger. Misplaced as it was, the whirlwind of emotions that drove him forward were for a good cause. Anyone with an introspective view of the small boy would have known the woman being snatched away into the woods was only the tipping point for an irrational response. “Boy, you will get yourself killed rushing into unfamiliar territory like this. Control your emotions!” Hideyoshi called out in his gravely voice as he chased at a moderate pace behind his descendant. It would take only a few moments of this thoughtless crusade through the woods before Watsuji looked around and realized that he was entirely lost. Not even Hideyoshi was in sight at this point.
The same chittering clicks which came from the large spider creature when it took the old woman began just slightly behind Watsuji as the creature stuck its head over his left shoulder and grinned.
