OOC: This a story about the Princess of Ying ying CR and her quest to find the Warrior Sage Jagai before he can unlease his spirit captive Kakon upon the world again.

IC: **In the Silver Palace of the Hidden City of the Wind Speakers**
^I'm late again! I'll never fulfill my destiny acting like this!^ Princess Youme was as always late. Racing down the hallways at break neck speed clutching various scrolls and apprentice aids. Panting and looking more than a little disheveled she dashed out to the garden. And ran right into Sensei Kanken.
"Ah, my wayward apprentice you've finally joined us I see." If possible Youme's eyes widen even further as she gulped and blushed deeply. "We? As in more than you were waiting?" "Yes daughter, I and my court are here for a very important discussion. That you are very late for. May I ask why or will it only be the same excuses?" Blushing furiously by being so brutally embrashed in front of so many people Youme quickly gathered all her supplies.
Setting them aside she turned to her father and bowing deeply apologized. "Father I am sorry to have caused you shame. Honored courtiers am sorry to have caused you discomfort. Honored Teacher I am sorry to have disappointed you and shamed you in front of our honored guests. Please accept my apologies." "That is fine now sit up we have something to tell you." Sensei Kanken never being one to waste time or words got right to business. "You know the story of the Demon Kakon correct? Well if you remember the sage who fought him was partially infected with his evil and weaken. Thus unable to finish his foe he instead banish him along with his own spirit into the nether lands surrounding the Other Worlds."
"I already know these things so what is the point of this?" Her outbrust turned many heads as all present gave her disapproving looks. "Daughter you will be silent and patient is that understood?!" Bowing her head in submission she settled down. "Hn, anyway in this method the Kakon was removed from us. But now a warrior sage has appeared the first in one thousand years and he is destroying demons left and right. Normally this would be welcome but he is using them in a quest to seperate himself into two parts: himself and Kakon."
^What does this have to do with me? Unless-they can't I'm just an apprentice not a Tao Master!^ "Youme? Youme are you listening?" ^This is not my day.^ "Uh-" "Don't bother making something up. You are going out to prove yourself, by killing the Warrior Sage Jagei and bringing back the tools he wished to resurrect Kakon with. Understand? Ah- don't bother with excuses you have trained since you were a small child if you aren't ready now you won't be ever. Your belongings are already packed on your horse Tashizu. We thought it would be better if there were no longer goodbyes."
Emperor Yushu looking around suddenly clapped his hands drawing all attention. "If you please I'd like some time with Youme." "So you thought you could just do this to me? Like I wouldn't care? I'm not one of your servents I have my own ambitions!" "Youme..." Looking up she could have gasped he looked so old. "Youme you are my first-born and my only child by Kagai. You are everything I could want in a child even if you are somewhat...spirited. This isn't a punishment it's an honor and a test you have to pass. I would'nt sent you away to this if I weren't sure you can do it. So please don't be angry like this." "Father I- I have to go remember no long goodbyes? And I do love you still."
"Tashizu calm down you idiot!" Looking back own the place of her birth and her life up to this point she sighed. There is no looking back only foward. "Let's go!" She rode away to the mountains of the South.

The clattering of horses' hooves awoke Keltin from his light doze. Swiftly, he brought up his bow, firing an arrow at the noise...

Without waiting to see if his shot had landed, he jumped down from the tree, his tattered clothing concealing his position. Oddly enough, he stumbled out into the open sunlight, nearly bumping into the horse as it galloped past...

Waking up Keltin could have sworn at the pain in his head. However his brain was rather busy processing the half-dressed maiden in front of him.
**He's awake Youme and staring... ** Poor Keltin he looked like he was ready to jump out of his skin. "Thanks Tashizu, although you could have spoken a bit sooner. And how are you? Hello?" Oh, someone was speaking to him, the really pretty girl...wearing very little clothing.

"Excuse me _sir_ but my face is up _here_." "Huh, oh sorry I guess it's this huge bump on my head, I'm finding it hard to concentrate." "Yeah well that's what you get for shooting at people and jumping in front of galloping horses." "That was you?" "Yeah that was me and you really should think about apologizing for hitting me in the shoulder." ^Great I guess I can forget about ever getting to second base or even first base with this chick.^ **What was that?** "Aaaahh what the f*ck was that?!"

"That was my horse Tashizu and what exactly were you thinking just now?" "Nothing, nothing uh where are you off to?" "The mountains to the south in search of the whereabouts of Jagei." ^This girl is _looking_ for the Sage Warrior? Maybe I don't want to deal with her afterall.^
**Excuse me?** "Could you tell your um horse to cut that out?" "Just stop thinking so loud. Besides as long as your innocent you shouldn't care that he can read your thoughts. You are innocent aren't you?"
"Of course.."

"So is there anything I can do to help since I injured your arm?" "Sure just escort me through the South Mountains and were even." "Aah..."
**Told ya he was a coward** ^No way am I being punked out by a horse.^ "Yeah of course I'll help ya through the mountains." ^What have I just gotten myself into?^

OOC: You've confused me.

IC:

Keltin reguarded her with clouded eyes... He seemed to not know where the voice was coming from... The Argonian hunter waved a small knife around himself madly, his tail whipping from side to side as he moved...
