User blog:Akasha1908/The Adventures of Yokkun & Kazu: Case of the Black Lotus

Case of the Black Lotus 

               CLIENT:   Fera, A rich and dangerous foreigner.

THE MISSION:   1. Find the woman named Kuro. 2. Retrieve the black box in her possession 3. Return the box to Fera

BACK GROUND & MISSION DETAILS:   One month ago, the brothers were initially contacted by their client:   A foreigner using the alias “Fera.”   Due to circumstances surrounding another case, Yokkun (the older brother) was unable to attend the first arranged meeting with Fera.

Yokkun decided to let Kazu (the younger brother), handle the job request. He trusted his little brother to review the details and make a sound decision on whether or not they should accept. Unfortunately for Yokkun, he didn’t realize just how dangerous and manipulative Fera was.

Kazu, completely entranced by the hypnotic and mysterious Fera, unwittingly agrees to take on the client’s job request. He does this without true knowledge of what the mission actually entails. At the time, Kazu believed the job would be open and shut; in and out. And with the amount of money Fera was willing to pay, Kazu could think of no reason to turn him down.

After the first meeting, the client disappeared without a trace. His final words were “I will return when it is time.”

Two days ago, Fera indeed returned. This time, with Yokkun present for the meeting, Fera divulged the true details of the job. It was then the brothers realized they were in real trouble…

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">What Fera had failed to mention in the first meeting, was that the woman Kuro was actually the leader of the Black Lotus; the most powerful sorcerer’s guild in all of Mao Tome. Lady Kuroki (her true name) held the title of Grand Sorceress and was without a doubt the most powerful person in the land. And the black box…   Well that just happened to be located in the heart of her massive castle; also known as the headquarters of the Black Lotus. The most heavily guarded structure in the entire country.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">TIME RESTRICTIONS:   The brothers have one shot to retrieve the box:   The night of the next full moon, which happens to be in a little over 24 hours.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">They’ll have exactly one hour to get past Lady Kuroki’s guards, get into the castle, retrieve the box and get out again.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">*There is no backing out of this deal. Should they return without the box, the contract with the client is void and their lives forfeit. This will be the toughest mission the brothers have ever faced, and failure is not an option.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Where our story begins: 

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Yokkun and Kazu have successfully infiltrated the grounds of Lady Kuroki’s castle. With no time to cover their tracks, they’re forced leave their kills in the open. Yokkun understands that this could be their downfall. Should the bodies be found and their presence discovered, they’ll be as good as dead.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; line-height:115%;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Having reached the edge of the tree line surrounding the castle grounds, the brothers try to come up with a plan to get through this job alive…
