After the disappearance of the honorable and venerable Imperial Chronicler Sima Qian, the Emperor, in his extreme kindness expressed the wish me to repeat, as a member and officer of the Kotoba, writing chronicles the guild. It's a little tricky to deal with the lives of the Kotoba, I know them all personally, many of them are my friends, my parents, pupils, how to keep a neutral opinion on them? I think the best thing is that I begin this new book of the Chronicle by a person I know very little ultimately, we must say that there remains a great mystery to me, as for most of his caste indeed . It is therefore very enigmatic and controversial Ijin Shisei. If this name is totally unknown compared to you famous Zatochi Kage and Yu Ling, this is because its role has long been kept secret. Today the case "Kiria" Ijin placed on the front of the stage, to his dismay.
But first things first as this is a chronic, so it should be about this member Kotoba since childhood. Shisei the family is not known to be rich or powerful, but it is deemed to serve the Empire its best and has already starred on numerous occasions by helping in the lowest class of the population and avoiding a revolt during the invasion of the Empire by Nehantist. Ijin second son was born a second son and his destiny was to become Tsoutai as some members of his family before him. He was accepted at Temple Sakoï and quickly showed a great mastery of martial arts and a predisposition for magic. But the young Ijin could not control minds, much less appreciate. In this case how could he find a Flawseeker and become a true Tsoutai? The decision broke the heart of the master of the temple and that of Ijin because their paths were now separate, waiting for another Ijin, there just outside the temple Sakoï a man was waiting. I can not write his name here because even I do not have the right. But I can tell that it was one of the greatest demon hunters that this world has ever known. It was he who took over and led the Tsoutai Ijin to become a formidable member of this caste. And that's what he became an exorcist and not any as I will tell you a little further.
Evoking Ijin is to evoke the Demon Hunters and its mysteries. If we have a good understanding of what the Tsoutai or trackers, hunters demons themselves are most obscure of our caste. What are they really? Who exactly are they? How do they organize? I can not answer these questions because, despite my many attempts I always hit a wall of silence, silence. Even the august Emperor dismissed the subject when I approached the subject with him. To all that I struggled, thinking like the other castes it was me allegiance and should in no case have any secrets from me, Lord Imperial Kotoba. However, and I was wrong, the secret is crucial for this caste, I could accept that our relationship should be based on trust, that I knew could only be profitable because it did not hold me mind. The actions of the demon hunters are what they are, often at the limit of repute, but this must be so, that people within the Kotoba have this freedom to do what they do.
If I treat demon hunters and their philosophy ... is because qu'Ijin follows particular, it is secretive, powerful, and limit his actions. At the end of his apprenticeship he was given the role of Walker, this is demon hunter who was no longer attached, no longer maintaining any contact with her family, and whose life is dedicated to hunt monsters that threaten the Empire: a wanderer on the road. The rumors reached me show a total success of each of its missions, the population went to make his legendary adventures, the man who protects people face the demons. I do not know how many opponents he faced in his life, by Yu Ling told against me that tattoos covering the body Ijin were the representation of his vanquished enemies.
But it was more than that.
I then address the case "Kiria." Kiria is the name of a woman from beyond the seas and oceans, by I know not what chance was found locked in a maximum security prison in the White Islands. Women, rather cunning had managed to escape before being captured again some time later. Considered more dangerous than the Council of Guilds ordered his transfer to another prison. Secretly, Councillor Dean Verace asked me to look after the imprisonment of this woman. I could not let the demon hunters away from the case and asked for their help. I was sent Ijin. During our trip to the Empire it gave me a beautiful demonstration of the extent of his powers. Kiria well tried to use his strange magic to give us the slip, but every time Ijin was able to neutralize his strange tattoos moving strangely when he used his magic. I began to be suspicious and they were confirmed when, once on site, Kiria tried again to escape, but this time the demon hunter got angry so qu'apparurent attributes at least curious that I did not expect to see there: It looked like a real demon. He stopped Kiria without much effort before entering the secret place we chose. He returned some time later calmed down this time. I then asked him the truth about his tattoos. He answered without hesitation: the magic of those he had defeated traveling in lines of these designs on her skin, they gave him the strength to overcome the monstrosities that threatened the Empire.
What could I say to that, I had nothing to complain about, quite the contrary. So I decided to ignore what may be considered by some as an abomination. But basically, what demon hunter was not an abomination?
