"I hear the songs of the dead and they sing for you"
Zelda was pleased with Lilitu. The women knew her place and showed Zelda the proper respect that she deserved. Zelda walked up to Lilitu and gently passed her across her cheek.
"My darling Lilitu you are something truly special. I wish for you to join my origination known as Dark Tides. As long as you remain loyal to me my child; I will take away your hunger and your pain. I will keep you safe from the cruelties of this world. That is my promise to you my child. So will you follow me into a new age?"
Lilitu didn't need to think before answering. She always did as she was told and never questioned a command. The only time she ever disobeyed was when her creator tried to kill her and that was only due to survival instincts kicking in. She flexed her claws and swayed her hips a little. "Yes mistress. I will do whatever you wish... Kapa." She titled her head to the side once more and tried to smile. She had never really gotten the hang of smiling, most people ran away when they saw her fake smile. It was either the insane look of desperation she had when doing it or the rows of pointed teeth.
"I hear the songs of the dead and they sing for you"
After hearing Lilitu's response a devilish smile formed on Zelda's face. She could tell that there would be no problems keeping the giant in line. The gears inside Zelda's head were spinning. Not only did she acquire a powerful ally but she was also one step closer to realizing her dream. But before Zelda could achieve her true goal she needed more allies. The task of building up her army was proving to be difficult. Zelda was so accustom to working alone, not to mention she had little tolerance for those who disobeyed her. Zelda usually killed off her allies if they disrespected her but she had no plans in harming Lilitu.
Zelda pulled her trident closer towards her ear. Zelda nodded her head and muttered several words as if the trident was speaking to her, even though the trident did not speak.
"Yes, yes I agree. The three shall return soon enough." Zelda lowered her trident and focused on Lilitu. "Welcome to Dark Tides my dear. From this day forward not even the cold hand of death shall harm you. Oh how could I forget your sign said you desired money correct? Well I can supply you with an endless amount but first I require something from you."
Lilitu wasn't bothered by her mistress talking to her trident. A lot of witches had odd habits, her mentor lived in a cottage that had chicken legs. Which always made her wonder, if the cottage laid an egg would it hatch into a shack? Taking her mind off this Lilitu looked down at her sign and picked it up. She had a 'job' now so she didn't need it any more. A few quick motions with her claws and it was nothing but confetti. Turning her attetion back to her mistress Lilitu didn't really react much, simply saying. "Yes?...Kapa."
Entering the city he then looks around walking deeper and deeper into the city. "This is getting to dangerous for you two to continue. are you sure you should do this. we might run into trouble." he said. -time skip- ((Exit))
A small door to a shop opened up to reveal a young warlock as he read up on various books. All of which had been worn and tattered and yet still legible. Stopping short of a fountain, Blake looked over his shoulder and spotted the aura of an old acquaintance. Blake pulled over his satchel as the books began to put themselves away. Walking toward Zelda, Blake noticed she was accompanied by a rather large woman. Still, manners were what he was brought up with, so he decided to greet them before anything else. Hello Zelda, its been a while...
despite her size Lilitu moved very quickly and in a flash was up close to the man, her clawed hands held a few centimeters from his face. Any movement on his part would get him cut. Lilitu really disliked suprises so it was best not to sneak up on her. Her faced remained in her passive worried expression as she looked him up and down.
Blake's eyes widened a bit as Lilitu moved for him. Wow, how is it that almost every female you meet for the first time tries to kill you? I wonder that constantly... Getting out of his head, Blake approached the situation calmly. The girl's claws seemed sharp as a small hair fell from his head. Toning out his feelings and emotions Blake looked back at the girl, peeping into her soul. It was a strong mix between Weapon and Witch, which makes up for the sudden intentness yet seemingly destructive movement toward his life. Well, aren't you interesting. Looking her up and down as she did gave the warlock an idea as to her up bringing. Raising his hand, he held it up toward Lilitu, motioning for her to give him a hi-five. Well, come on. Don't be shy.
Lilitu looked at the man's hand and wondered what he was doing. She lowered her claws and stood up straight, easily towering over him. Lilitu remained silent, thinking about what his gesture meant, before pointing at his hand. "Why do you want me to cut your hand off? Kapa."
"I hear the songs of the dead and they sing for you"
Zelda released a intimidating growl when she heard her name called. The grip on her golden trident tightened. After Zelda's fight with the reaper hundreds of years ago the world believed she was dead. Zelda used the news of her demise to her advantage. She layed low for many years planning her revenge against the reaper. With the exception of her daughters there were few that knew of Zelda's existence. So to hear her name be called out openly placed her into a frenzy.
Zelda turned around with her trident raised and to prepared to blast the person foolish enough to call her name. To her surprise Lilitu stepped into action. The giant raised her claws ready to strike the intruder. Zelda was impressed with the woman's speed and loyalty. Zelda lowered her trident when she realized that it was Blake. It took her a little while to settle down but Zelda lowered her hood and stared at the man.
"You have done well Lilitu and I shall remember your actions today.However I want you to lower your claws Lilitu this boy bares no threat to me. Now explain to me why you have the urge to call out my name so openly Blake. And you best answer me quickly Blake because I am highly considering devouring you whole right now." Zelda's voice was sharp and obvious that she meant business.
Even though she never revealed her true form to Blake, he should have remembered that she was a sea serpent.

No, I wanted to greet you. But hey, that's cool too. Turning his attention toward Zelda, Blake focused his emotions as they resurfaced. Zelda, you of all people should know of the importance of one's name. And a name such as yours, well, its one that can catch the attention of many people. Soon, the warlock's presence began to shift out of proportion. It was hard for Blake to control himself as another strong being wished to take his life. It made him feel pretty good knowing people saw him as a threat worth killing. You're not the only that can bite more than they can chew. He was more curious about the giant that accompanied Zelda, yet at the back of his mind Blake knew he'd never tested the old sea monster.
Lilitu dashed back to Zelda's side and raised her claws to protect her mistress. Looking at her Lilitu gave her a quizical look and pointed at Blake. "Would it be against the Rule to kill him? Kapa." She was refering to the rules of the Netherworld particularly the sixth law. Fighting among one another, outside of the designated battling area, is strictly forbidden. In which the punishment for doing so, will be banishment to the human world. Though she was uncertain whether or not that law applied to this situation. She didn't want to fight him, merely tear his head off.
Coming down the street is a young woman of arresting beauty, whose innate grace and poise are evident in her every motion. She possesses long, shiny black hair, which is unrestrained in any manner so as to allow it to fall freely over her shoulders and back. Her complexion is that of flawless porcelain, showing not the slightest remnants of the many skirmishes she has been in. Her face is characterized by soft, comely lips and high-set cheekbones. The woman's most distinguishing feature, however, is not the delicate elegance of her face, nor the slender, yet gently curvaceous lines of her figure, but her eyes.....eyes that are as azure as sapphires and as piercing as a bird of prey's. Upon meeting this gaze, the average person is perturbed by the cold, calculating emptiness which lurks behind her irises. She is a beauty of the purest black, a beauty not of this world. To her left is young man that wears a coat made of feathers.On the boys shoulder is a massive three-legged crow, with black body feathers and three blazing red eyes. Behind them are four young women carrying a large casket. They sport dark green hair and crimson-red colored eyes with a black vertical line in their pupils; similar to that of a feline. Their attire consists of matching purple cloaks with gold trim. Over ther arms are two sleeves matching the main part's color scheme. Underneath this cloak they wear several layers of bandages and tie the cloth in place around their bodies with dark grey obi. Their lower body attire consists of long white hakama,and bandaged arms.The young man and the crow speak in tandem as they make their way down the street.
Lady Yosuzume please reconsider this. I understand your concern for your brother,but you must be sensible. Carrying him around with you is drawing to much attention. If something were to happen... They say in harmony.
Rihans the only family I have since my father disappeared. Anyone who takes on step towards this casket will be cut down with out mercy by my blades Yatagarasu. I blame myself for not coming to Tokyo with him. If I had he wouldn't have been so reckless. She says.
Understood. I'm only concern with all the activity in the Neatherworld lately. Ancient beings are starting to return,and with your reputation and the Black Dragons children your lives could be at risk. . Yatagarasu spoke. It was clear he was very wise and insightful. It was evident in his tone that he was generally concerned about the woman's well being,but even he knew how stubborn she could be. She'd stop at nothing to heal her brother. Yosuzume had had him put her brother in stasis till she could find a way to heal him.
Heh I'm not worried bout that. That's why I brought these and wore your armor. I'm not helpless Yatagarasu so stop worrying so much. She says smiling.
Yatagarasu bows. My apologies Lady Yosuzume. I suppose I am being a bit paranoid. Yosuzume finds a statue and has the young girls put down the casket. Yatagarasu then sends them off to various shops to gather supplies while staying behind to guard Yosuzume;who begins singing.The piece was led by a guitar solo by Yatagarasu. Yosuzume's voice was soft, yet powerful, and signature to her alone. No one else quite captured the same sound and magnitude with that grace and style. It was an ocean's storm, confined to a desert oasis, a wild horse properly tamed yet still free. Her voice carried thru out the city.
-Kagaitaifu ("Evil Typhoon"): A double-headed voulge with red markings on it when sealed.when unsealed the voulge gains a large hoop with multiple bladed protrusions along the outside of it. The hoop is set into the middle of the of the voulge bar where the weapon is commonly held and twirled.By spinning Kagaitaifu Yosuzume can unleash massive amounts of wind or even her miasma. When attacking it spawns black feathers,but it's mostly for cosmetic purposes.
- Twilight Slicers:They are "married" twin falchions representing yin and yang, commissioned by her brother as a birthday gift. They are her favored weapons to utilize in battle. She personally finds them to be extremely captivating and beautiful the weapons easily suiting his natural style of fighting. They are identical in shape with the only difference being their color. Night's Edge, the black Yang falchion, is covered in a hexagonal pattern, and Dawn of Ruins, the white Yin falchion, has less of the shine of a polished metal in its ore than it has the haze of a cloud. Their quality as swords is high due to being made with the best materials at the disposal of Lumina and Yakō with the quality of the grips, both of which are quite big and heavy, are more important than their ornamental value. The main ability of the blades is their strong bond with each other, which not only allows them to attract each other, but it is also said they will return their owner even if events cause them to be lost.If wished, Yosuzume may channel her power into the hilt of the falchions as opposed to their blades, causing them to notably extend to almost twice their original size and bear a more menacing design. While although the enhanced twin swords don't possess any special abilities on their own, when infused with power the range of their potential strikes is doubled in length.In Yosuzume's hands they are weapons of the devil, with their blades cloaked in swirls of an evil miasma.
Reiryūshi (霊猟師, lit Soul Hunter) (second one) : A living demonic katana with quick and agile attacks that deal modest damage and has sweeping range. Its combos, abilities, speed, and damage make it the most well-rounded melee weapon a assassin could ask for, being useful against nearly every enemy.

Equipped Coat/Armor:Yatagarasu Armor
Coat/Armors
-Yatagarasu Armor:An enchanted armor set, traditionally worn by a secret group of witch assassins.The armor is mostly made of woven Tengu (demon bird's) feathers and leather. It is lightweight, making it ideal for a agile shadow-hugging thief like Yosuzume. It has high Frost & Fire Resistance and muffles the user's movements allowing Yosuzume to move silently.
Yosuzume's Active abilities:Yatagarasu and Karasu Tengu Summons
Ability List: [/b
+ Genyakō (Phantom Night Parade) – Is signature technique used by her. If the feathers get in a opponents eyes they will be blinded temporally, by the darkening of the space around the pupils and restricting Dilation of the retina(last three post) . It is a very powerful technique used by her to disorient her enemies easily. With the help of her Darkness fear, she can shroud an area in blackness and, by extension, greatly reduce visibility for those affected. She has no difficulty seeing in complete darkness and is adept at moving silently to take advantage of that strength.
+ Poison Wings: Yosuzumes feathers are extremely poisonous - so much so that just touching them can cause adverse effects. Other demons who are aware of this tend to avoid her when she is visibly infuriated, as she can shoot off her feathers like arrows. Yosuzumes wings are usually kept retracted into her body, visible only as a series of vein-like black lines across her shoulders and back. She doesn't use his feathers for offensive purposes that often.
+ Karasu Tengu Summons: These are the crow summons of Yosuzume. in human form they have dark green long hair and crimson-red colored eyes with a black vertical line as their pupil, similar to that of a cat. Their standard attire consists of a purple cloak over her main body with gold trim. Over her arms are two sleeves matching the main part's color scheme. Underneath this cloak they wear several layers of bandages and ties the cloth in place around their bodies with a dark grey obi. Their lower body attire consists of long white hakama,and bandages arms. They are excellent spy's and a asset to Yosuzume's assassination skills. They can cause their bodies to break up into multiple ravens, which they can reform at will.
+ Miasma Release: This allows the user great advantage in hand-to-hand combat, as the opponent's resistance is almost immediately put to waste unless they resonate. Hits from influenced body parts also burn to the touch and hit much stronger than usual. It also gives the enhanced regions a higher level of durability against physical techniques. This technique causes no effect on the user, making them completely safe from their own poison. Poison of other users however, have a reduced effect, as their bodies comprehend the basis of the poison and vice versa. Yosuzume is able to stun or immobilize those who attack her, and can produce Miasma within her body. Yosuzume also possess the capability to manifest black miasma from within her body, and subsequently manipulate it for a variety of purposes; commonly around her limbs, making her extremely difficult to face in close combat.
+ Wind/Poison Osore: Wind-based fear users are able to create winds of varying severity out of nothing. Their very presence seems to stir the air itself and many are capable of flight as a result. Poison-based fear users are able to stun or immobilize those who attack them, and can often produce poison within their bodies. They tend to have a high resistance to poisons and ailments originating from outside sources, and some can even sense the presence of poisons caused by others. Yosuzume combines these fears and can use the two interchangeably.
+ Yatagarasu: Yatagarasu takes the form of a massive three-legged crow, with black body feathers and three blazing red eyes. It sits on the the shoulders of a young man that wears a coat made of feathers. The young man usually speaks the same time as Yatagarasu heavily implying that they are one in the same. He is more durable than the Tengu summons and usually guards Yosuzume and orders the latter around . Yatagarasu is a very wise individual, giving out predictions and advice to Yosuzume.
+ Kurai Shōmetsu Karatsu ( Dark Extinction Crows):Yosuzume forms ravenous crows. The crows begin forming a circular seal around the opponent by flying around them. The crows then proceed to engulf the opponent in a towering vortex, attacking them from all sides with random dive bombs. From the outside, it only looks like a towering black tornado. Yosuzume can then cause the crows to explode at any time. The crows made by this technique are rather weak offensively and are usually used as a distraction.
+Soul Resonance Tokoyami (常闇, "Everlasting Darkness"):Yosuzume forms a sphere of Darkness & Miasma in her hands. She then raises it above her head and then, after a sufficient amount of energy has been gathered, it's released at the target in the form of a large beam that explodes upon contact, resulting in a large, destructive pillar .(can only be use 1-2 times with a 10 post cool down)

Inventory
||~Yosuzume's Items
-Shadow Crystal Smoke Bombs :The Shadow Crystal Fog is, as its name implies, made from Shadow Crystals, and creates a dense cloud of darkness.it takes the form jet-black streams of smoke erupt from the caster’s hand, quickly covering a large area around the caster in a dark haze and greatly obscuring the vision within the area. The fog does not deal any damage to anyone caught with the area of effect, but due to its vision obstruction properties, the bomb serves as a distraction for quick escapes or for buying the user some time to prepare for an attack While one might try to blow the fog away with wind,light magic is the only way to truly eradicate the fog.This is an invaluable asset to a Assassin like Yosuzume.
-Wrist mounted Senbon Launcher:This device is used byYosuzume to launch poisoned senbon at her opponent with deadly accuracy. It is comprised of a five part segmented device with barrels on top where the senbon are loaded and soaked inside the barrels when the strings are pulled. Wires on the back of these facilitate the launching of the weapons. It is usually kept concealed underneath the sleeve of her kimono on her right arm.
-Elemental Kunai:A uniquely designed kunai made from a special metal that can be only be found by those that know of it already. Due to the unique properties of the metal, the kunai can be infused with any element including Light,Darkness,and Yosuzume's Miasma . The more of an element it absorbs the tougher it becomes. The elements the kunai can hold are limited to one element per kunai. The enhanced form of one of these kunai takes the form of a large kunai-style dagger that can be used as a long range projectile weapon or for close range combat purposes similar to a katana. Unlike traditional kunai, some forms of these kunai are slightly longer with a silver edge, while the middle of the kunai is black. Yosuzume currently has several of these chakra kunai in his possession, and is greatly used by him during combat, making it one of his primary weapons. According to Yosuzume the kunai are slightly heavier than a standard kunai, but with enough time and practice, the user can use the kunai without much difficulty.
-Throwing knives — Uniquely-shaped knives which Yosuzume hides mong the sleeves in her robes; these were most likely custom-built, as they appear to be forged into the shape of feathers.

"No place is safe while I'm free"
Zelda Lochness
The Fearsome Sea Witch
"I hear the songs of the dead and they sing for you"
Zelda did not care for Blake's tone. As a matter of fact Zelda would have devoured the boy without hesitation normally but Lilitu had mentioned a good point. Is was against the Netherworlds law to kill or fight another in the streets. Zelda did not fear the rules, after all she viewed herself as a goddess. Aside from her own ego, Zelda was one of the most powerful creatures known to man. Even though she did not fear anyone, Zelda was not foolish or rash in her decisions. The last thing she wanted was to draw unwanted attention to herself, seeing how the history books said she had been slain. A threatening hiss escaped her one final time before she made the decision not to devour Blake.
" You are right my dear Lilitu, fighting would be against the rules. So just leave him be for now. We have much to do and we do not have time for senseless fights. Besides you are special my child. You deserve a more worthy opponent, one that can match your incredible gifts." Zelda said calmly. " Blake I know you must think ill of me but I am willing to put the past behind us. I am building an army and I wish for you to be on my side once more. You have so much potential but it is wasted on the Dwma. Why not join me as I change history Blake?" She said in a shadowy voice.
Zelda's ears tingled slightly when she heard the soothing voice of an angel. Zelda placed her hood back onto her head and snapped her finer .
"Come Lilitu shall we see the source of that lovely voice."
Zelda turned around and slowly made her way down the streets of the Netherworld. As she walked a trail of dark mist followed behind her . Zelda did not have to travel far before she came across, Yosuzume who was sitting in front of a statue.
Lilitu nodded and followed after Zelda and stood close by as she talked to the woman singing. Even though she kept her claws down she was wary of the woman's entourage. Witches tended to form tightly knit groups to reach a cretain goal. Most of the time they ended up killing each other for leadership. But Lilitu didn't care about that sort of thing. She did as she was told and would obey her mistress. If Zelda was replaced then Lilitu would obey her succesor and so on until she was sent away. But because she was aware of witch politics Lilitu always kept a close eye on other witches and their helpers. You could never be too careful.
