Back to Work

Subject: Back to Work Tue Feb 24, 2009 12:35 am

Resting in my audience chamber, my gaze is to the teleorb sitting on my desk as Luca explains to me what he’s gathered from the events of the city this day. With that knowledge I am able to assume that Komatsu has a lot of free time and energy on his hands; stirring up my tranquil city like that. As a capable son of a Champion, it would be rude of me not to put him to work. Looking up, I can see that my summon has responded quickly as the doors open with the procession that leads Komatsu into the audience chamber located in the main clan manor within Central Belcia. My eyes greet him in my normal calm gaze as he enters into the room. I wondered how my father dealt with his father in the past… oh yes, that’s right… they were both crazy; pity I didn’t have that luxury. As he arrives I knew that an outspoken individual like himself would probably give the first greeting. 170

Walking through the corridors and finding my way to the room where Jiseki did all of his business. Stopping at the door i looked at it and frowned. He could possibly be mad at me for having my fun with his police force and his spy network. That where beginning to be a pain in the neck. Shrugging knowing that he wouldn't be to harsh about it. Opening the door i looked to the man sitting behind his desk the cold glare on me. It was as if he knew what i was gonna do. Moving forwards i gave my old friend a large smile " Monsieur it has been a while."

“Yes it has,” I agree with his words as he makes his way forth. “A lot has changed since I’ve last seen you, but you seem to be the same. I hope you’ve been training yourself well and have grown much stronger. It seems like you’ve got an abundance of energy. “ He seemed jolly enough, as he often was. His demeanor was more so of a mercenary that works under me rather than a soldier of the KB army. He didn’t undergo regular training as the rest of the soldiers, but he did show improvements where the average soldier would not. He had mastered his Pessiah and ability to hold a transformation, both things that were commendable for a warrior. “What have you been up to in your absence from the city?” I inquire interestedly. Of course I had a mission for him, but I could get to that in a moment.

As i heard Jiseki speak i smiled and my eyes began to roam about the room as i heard him speak about my energy and of course it would not have been a meeting if he had not inquired about my training since the last meeting. Wincing slightly at the question i smiled " It has been a bit slacking at best." Sitting myself down i stroked at my chin as he asked about my absence. " Well i left the city and joined up with a group of bandits and i worked my way up the ranks until i got tired of the scene. I had noticed as of lately that i was beginning to wander away from the city more often and for longer spans of time. Which no doubt meant that my friend Jiseki had found a use for my trip back to Belcia which hopefully would be an entertaining one on my behalf.

It would appear that I do not have his full attention as I speak, but I keep any sign of noticing it from my face. It was a disappointment that he had not been training as he knew he should, but at least he knew that he should train. Others would get stagnant in their power, much like he, but be happy to stay there. Self-conviction was a good thing. I watch as he takes a seat and I tilt my head at the peculiar mannerism, but assume that he is simply trying to be comfortable during our talk. He was my friend at any rate, slightly different from a normal person who would come and approach me. Perhaps the audience chamber was a bit too formal for someone like him. After his explanation of his activities, I nod, “that’s interesting. Well, then, it would seem that the city is a bit too… crowded for someone like you, wouldn’t you agree? Do you think you would feel more comfortable in a frontier town, much like Pirate’s Cove?”

Realizing that it knewwas quite uncommon for someone to act like i did around the prince. I didn't do it out of disrespect but for the sole reason that he could have one good friend who wasn't so because of his position of power. Noting the reaction he took to what i had been doing i could only imagine that he was a bit disappointed to say the least. As it was time to get down to business i heard Jiseki started with his observation that maybe the city was a bit too crowded i nodded as he continued and he spoke of Pirate's Cove. My brow furrowed and the smile was erased. "Pirate's Cove is extraordinary there is no place quite like it."

“Yes,” I agree, “all the more reason to get it back. Pirate’s Cove was originally a freed territory. Then my father conquered it and gave it to Kaji-sama. Now the Al’Yak have swept it from beneath our feet through manipulation. No doubt the people of Pirate’s Cove enjoy their freedom, but being under Al’Yak is not really freedom. Even if we do not regain Pirate’s Cove politically, there is nothing to worry about so long as Al’Yak loses ties with them. But that is for later. In order to accomplish something like this, Al’Yak must continue to weaken until we can push it into the eastern seas and be rid of them. A human’s body can say to be powered by the heart, but the ribs protect the heart and the limbs protect the body that encases the heart. Instead of attempting to pierce the ribs to destroy Al’Yak’s heart, we can simply dismember it one limb at a time. Then after the limbs are severed the rib cage can be easily removed and the heart pierced. Therefore, we will strike at Al’Yak’s limbs. They have expansion in the Angelbroke valley and we shall sever that, as we will with Honkyochi. Right now all we simply must do is cut off Angelbroke from Al’Yak and surround it, which is something that’s insanely easy given its position. This is where you come in. I cannot fight in every battle my nation has, large or small. Therefore, fight with my forces for me and serve in your role as a captain. There is territory I would like to have conquered and converted into a castle town, which will block off and barricade Al’Yak completely from the inner valley. Would you like a chance to kill Al’Yakians?”

Looking at Jiseki i figured that he would begin to tell me that my mission was to go and have some fun in Pirate's Cove. Which would truly be fun for me since i had not been to Pirate's Cove in ages, but he did not want to brief me immediately not at all today he was very long winded. Telling me his plan to get back the city from the hands of the Al'yekians. Which he was kind enough to include a metaphor that was well thought out since i could identify with the idea of protecting ones heart. As Jiseki told ne about him no longer being able to take part in as many battles as he used to i was glad i was not in such a position. Continuing to talk he briefed me about the situation asking me to lead an offensive. At the last question i looked to him and smiled "Are you asking just to ask or do you not already know my answer?"

With a short grin, he amuses me to the point where I answer, “I’m asking just to ask of course. You know, as I get older, I will need to talk simply for the sake of talking. It keeps you young guys away.” With a nod I agree, “then it is settled. Luca will assist you in assembling the army that will move forwards into the valley. Unfortunately, I have no one to supervise you since many of my captains are needed in their positions here and I’m almost certain you do not need to be mixed in with my wife’s clan.” I knew that because of what happened, the Reitosuru probably hated him, so I wouldn’t be so cruel as to assign their members to assisting him. Of course, that didn’t mean that they might not just follow along and spy on their own, but I didn’t have to worry about their movements since they worked for my wife, and me so it would never be an issue. “But you have your orders; that’s all I had to speak with you about for now. I wish you well on your mission.”

As he told me that his plan was to talk more often so that he could keep the young fighters away. " Heh my friend to keep me away talking is not necessary to keep the likes of me away all you have to do is keep on giving me work that should be enough." As he continued with business i was immediately notified that i would be given soldiers that i would be commanding without the help of another captain because they where all busy at the moment. Leaving the reitosuru the only ones able to help out. Which was an automatic no due to the problems that where recently created between our two parties. As he wished me luck on my mission i smiled " Thank you, I wish you slay the paper work to the best of your ability." turning around to leave i would wave as i turned " Master Jiseki it would seem that you are becoming more so like your father."

Subject: Re: Back to Work Wed Feb 25, 2009 2:13 am

He confirms it. I must obviously be going mad to allow him to lead a large force, but he had potential and the capability to get the job done, and thus that must be what he meant by me becoming more like my father. The KB army was well trained, so they could probably do this without a leader, but it is always good to have a strong figurehead for all to be able to focus on. With Komatsu’s strength, the mission should be completed without fail. Even if he was not as disciplined as the others, I knew that he was loyal and hardworking when he needed to be. With his exit, I am free to resume to my duties of the day.
