User blog:Isaac Kifer/WWYD Response: Jinko

I knock a few times before entering to get the attention of the Jinko. She notices me and wakes up the male, they both look at me while the cubs run circles around me and paw at my heels and the back of my cloak. "Can we help you?" The male asks me. I pull out a folded piece of paper and hand it to them. "I'm the guy who took on your contract, now tell me what the problem is." I reply. "Deeper inside the ruins a pack of Jinkos lead by a Maltese Jinko, we afraid that they might want more territory and will force us out of our home. Do you truly think you can help us? We hear them train daily." The male tells me. "How many of them are there?" I ask. "There's six of them, that includes the leader herself." The Jinko tells me. I nod and start to walk out when one of the cubs pulls on my cloak. "What are you gonna do to them mister?" She asks. I crouch down to her level and put a hand on her head. "I'm gonna tell those big old meanies to leave your family alone. Now be a good girl and listen to your mommy and daddy ok?" I say patting her head. She smiles and goes to her mommy and daddy telling them that I'm a hero. I laugh to myself a bit and head deeper into the ruins. Soon enough I hear the sounds of laughter and I then find myself in the middle of all them.

"What's this? Hey girls, looks like we got ourselves a hero among us!" The leader calls out. The rest of them start circling me. "You lost or something handsome?" One of them asks me. "Nah, I'm just where I want to be." I reply. "Oh, aren't you a brave one?" Another asks. "You think you're man enough for all of us?" A third one asks me. "That depends if you think you can handle it?" I ask with a smug grin. "That's it he's mine!" One shouts. She then charges at me and I grab her arm and throw her my shoulder. At this point the others now deem me a threat and then two more lunge me. I vault over one of them and draw out my blunt sword. While the two behind me crash into each other I point my sword at the leader. "Come on, you going to let you minions fight and lose you battles for you?" I taunt. She growls but then smiles as I don't notice the one sneaking up behind me. "I'd come down and fight you but I wouldn't want it to be over too quickly." She taunts back. The Jinko behind me tackles me onto the ground and my sword goes sliding in front of the leader. "Well you won't be much of a threat without this now will you?" She taunts again. I just growl before I'm brought to stand before her. "Now what to do with you, you're rather fierce and awfully willful aren't you? I think I'll take great pleasure in breaking you." She says seductively. Then the ground starts shaking, the leader orders one of her subordinates to investigate. We wait for few minutes before she comes back scared saying that the order has come and they're bringing the ruins down. The others all start running, even the one that was holding me ran off so now it was me and the leader. "I don't care who it is, this is MY home!" She screams and charges toward me swinging my sword at me. I'm avoiding all her swings as the shaking becomes even worse and sections of the ruins come falling down and one even falls on her rendering her unconscious. I grab my sword and pull her out of the rubble and escape the ruins.

Sometime later we're in a caravan and she wakes up. "What happened?" She asks. "The order happened, they destroyed the ruins. I don't know what happened to your friends or the family. I can only hope they made it out OK." I tell her. "Why do you care? We attacked you and were going to use you for our own desires. I don't understand why you should care." She says rather confused. "It's not that hard to figure out why I pulled you out of the ruins. I forgive you, power does things to people, things they will regret later in life when their power is taken away. Look I'm not saying what you did was right, but it doesn't matter anymore. You're like me now, you don't have power but you can use what you do have for the better." I tell her. She lowers her head for a bit before she talks again. "So where are we heading?" She asks me. "We're heading to a place where a future of mamonos and humans is one of perfect harmony and understanding. It's not perfect but it will be like that one day." I tell her. "Where's that?" She asks. "Home." I tell her, home...
