Clouds slowly passed across the icy mountains near the Aurora Village, casting a dark shadow over the white land. Deep in the mountainous region awaited Akumu; he had taken shelter in a small cave to escape the upcoming blizzard. The interior of the cave was well managed, candles set up, large scrolls neatly set against the stone wall, everything organized. Akumu's Gunbai rested against a small table within the cave. His mask set on top of the table along with papers and opened scrolls; he was finally unmasked.
Shadows beneath the table then moved out towards Akumu, who was comfortabaly seated on a mat, forming a small creature. It was apparently a messenger called forth by Akumu. He slowly opened his eyes, the light reflecting off of the two crimson orbs. "Right on time Chiso....I need you to get Kuro Konpaku for me, please. If he questions you, tell him that I need to speak to him about something." The imp-like creature nodded and departed into the shadows below, heading out to find Kuro. Akumu sighed and ran his hand through his hair, scratching afterwards. There was no telling what Kuro had caused by destroying Aurora.... "Hmmm. I wonder if there are Yetis around here...." Akumu awaited for Kuro to arrive. For the meantime he glanced out the cave and watched the heavy snowfall.
