"I may be a god, but I haven't been "home" in a couple thousand years, not counting the centennial reunions. I unfortunately don't know the answer either. The other gods always did say 'If you spend too much time with the humans you'll end up turning into one.' I guess they were right." Arras walked over to the tree where he had left his bottle and bent down to pick it up. He lifted it off the ground and took another deep swig of it. "And by the way, if you want to 'tip' me for my services you could always tell me some funny stories and the such that I can tell at the next reunion to make Kaggy as red as a tomato." Arras laughed.

"Just mention the affair with Ms. Long from the Village of Stone. He'll remember that one with great vividness. I'll probably get sucker punched for it, but I can survive his punches." Cory looked as he was about to say something when he stopped short. He stood with a position of an animal listening to an unknown noise. As he was about to talk again, a large crow swooped down and lifted him from the ground, using each of its THREE legs to hold a tight grip on him.

"Ah! Crap!" Arras yelled, attaching his sheath and the bottle to his belt. He ran after the crow, jumping up into a nearby tree and launching himself off the top branch. He caught on to one of the crows legs. "You just attract all kinds of weirdo's don'tcha? What does this thing want with ya?" Arras said, starting to work on getting Cory loose while holding on to the creature with his immense strength.

"HECK IF I KNOW!! I DON"T EVEN KNOW WHAT THE HECK HAS A HOLD OF ME!!" Cory shouted above the rushing wind.
The crow let out a loud, shrill cry as Arras grabbed onto it. "THIS CRYSTALINE IS MINE!" It began to turn its head to peck at Arras.

"Ow! Don't peck my head you dam- I mean dang bird!" Arras swung over the birds back and straddled it like he was riding it. He pulled his bottle off of his belt and popped the cap off of it. He shoved the bottle into the bird's mouth, using his thumb to cover the opening. "You are gonna stop struggling and land right now, unless you want some God's Nectar going straight down your asophogus and turning your insides to ash. Your choice."

The crow began to descend towards the ground. It knew better than to mess with the stuff inside of that bottle. As the crow neared the ground, it dropped Cory and landed next to him.
Cory stood up quickly and brought up his earthen hammer from the ground. "I HATE FLYING!" He shouted.

"Calm down Cory." Arras said, climbing off of the crow and landing next to him, touching the hammer and making it fall to pieces. "Now, tell me what on earth you were doing you three-legged crow." Arras waved his hand, producing a new cap for his bottle and creating three golden swords that were slowly rotating around the crow's neck. He took another swig of the bottle before capping it. "I'm gonna end up making myself sick with this stuff..." He mumbled.

"My name is Yata-Garasu. I'm a one of the 19 spirits that that boy's cursed family helped to seal!" The grow glared angrily at Cory. "And we will have our revenge against you and that cursed clan of yo....." The crow's words were cut short as a blue blur rushed past its head. A boy with blue hair and a gold embroidered outfit stood in a finished-striking pose with a sword in his hand. Yata-Garasu's body began to fade, quickly turning into black smoke. The smoke was absorbed by the blade in the boy's hands.

Arras switched the attention of the three swords from the now dead crow to the new boy. "Thanks for ruining my interrogation." Arras sighed. "So...who are you and how did you manage to kill that bird?" Arras began to juggle his bottle.

The boy turned around. He did a polite bow to Arras. "Please forgive my intrussion. I am Lyns, Prince of Ayuthay. As for how I killed Yata-Garasu, I did not kill him. I merely resealed him." The sword at Lyns side aborbed the last of the smoke, the glow that was around the blade faded out, revealing a very well made sword.
Cory looked at Lyns. "Wait, resealed? So that's the sword artifact, the Sword of Kusanagi?"

"Oh...I knew that." Arras said, making the swords disappear. "Sorry about that, misunderstandings all around. I've heard of you Lyns, they say you are pretty good with a sword. I think you proved it right there, killing a spirit in one blow. Nice. I'd offer you some of my drink as a congratulations, but I don't think you could handle it." Arras laughed as he continued messing with the bottle. "So, that sword is one of the things we need ey?"

"You only really need one of the two to seal these spirits." Lyns said as he sheathed the sword next to his regular sword. "I'm glad to be known by others outside of my kingdom."
"Hold up here." Cory said. "How did you get that sword anyways? Plus, I've never even heard of Ayuthay!"

"Lyns, you better answer his questions. Who knows when he will stop asking them unless you do." Arras sat down and entered a shallow step of meditation. He was taking control of forces he hadn't used in centuries. He told his servants to begin searching the country, looking for the spirits and to keep an eye on them.

"I'm not surprised, Crystaline. Ayuthay is a good distance from your home village." Lyns said. "As for how I aquired this sword, a strange, bare foot, old man who offered me rock candy called geminite gave this sword to me."
Cory's face showed astonishment. "Wait, was this man slighty bald with a scragly beard, and snorted when he laughed? That could have been my grandpa!"

Arras opened his eyes and stood back up. "It might have been your grandfather, and if it was what would that mean Cory?" Arras said as he walked over to Lyns. "I am afraid I forgot to introduce myself to you. The name is Gard, I run the training area here." Arras hoped that Lyns hadn't overheard the conversation he had with Cory earlier.
