"Knowing me..?" he said and smiled. "Getting to know people is quite a human trait, you better watch out lest your turn more human!" he smirked as he watched in silence that the guards was dragged along the the ground over to the well by Grandma's magic. "Harsh enough? Did they hurt your ego?" he jested and lifted an eyebrow. "That would be counter productive and short sighted. I want these people to once figure out what true kindness is all about and go about preaching it from their heart." Zu Fu said and studied the lot as they lay there - pity crossing his face.
Lifting his index finger he drew out a purple aura of all the soldiers, the one getting water from the well passing out as he saw it, the murky purple aura dancing a bit to the motion of his finger revealing spots of black.
"Their souls need cleaning and one can only do that thoroughly enough through sacrifice and hard, spiritual work when they are at this state - but I can initiate the change." he said as his expression became quite serious. "You have no longer any access to these people!" he commanded as a smoke evaporated from their auras and dissipated, leaving the auras without the black stains but still not close to being vibrant in hue.
"Their actions had bound several malign spirits to them and now I'll replace them with some who'll guide them towards more benevolent goals." he said as Zu Fu, with the other finger, seemed to draw many-colored orbs of light from the ground merging them into their aura which then settled inside their bodies again. "Through dream and signs you'll reach your goals." Zu Fu said and smiled. "Now go in dream and return only when you have awoken to the kindness in your hearts!" Zu Fu commanded, the men standing up as if in a trance proceeding to head in different directions.
"They'll eventually wake up in a few hours, but at that time the new spirits will have done their jobs well enough to impress a new goal in their lives, and in time their free will becomes more aligned with the will of kindness and they might even end up liberated from their minds at some point." Zu Fu explained Grandma, and though the concept of liberating one's mind might be better suited for a frail human than potent otherworldly creature like Grandma, he was sure she'd find it interesting at the very least.
"Care to have a cup of tea down in the village? We can wake up the girl, tell her what she needs to know and relax our limbs a bit." Zu Fu suggested.

“Best not to let that slip out in front of dwarves or elves Zu Fu,” Grandma quipped back, a playful glint in her eyes. “I think the people of the town who were harmed by the guards would be quite appreciative of some farm animals, but do as you wish.” The old woman followed her remark with a shrug, clearly not particularly invested in regards to what Zu Fu did with the guards.
Leaning forward on her walking stick, the old woman’s eyes darted to and fro rapidly as Zu Fu worked. Her gaze lingered especially long on where the malign spirits evaporated before she finally turned her attention back to the actual soldiers. Throughout the whole process, Grandma was silent and attentive, perhaps because she didn’t want to disrupt Zu Fu or perhaps because she wished to remember all the steps Zu Fu took.
“So their actions caused spirits that ‘align’ themselves with similar actions to latch onto them so to speak. These spirits then influenced them to become more and more extreme… A vicious cycle one might say.”
Tilting her head to the side, Grandma seemed to find Zu Fu’s explanation fascinating. While she didn’t fully understand what he meant when he mentioned “liberating one’s mind”, she decided it would be best to pry him for answers on that once they had some tea in hand.
“A cup of tea does sound rather pleasant. I’ll wake the girl.”
Taking in a deep breath, Grandma exhaled slowly, the old woman’s body visibly relaxing as she did so. In only a few seconds, her whole demeanor had changed once more. She seemed smaller in stature and the commanding aura that had been about her was gone, her harsh expression replaced by the usual warm smile she wore.
Shuffling towards the sleeping girl, Grandma squatted down and gently shook her arm, attempting to wake her from Zu Fu’s sleep.

"The spirits have told me nothing of soldiers in the nearby town, these must be stragglers. Reducing them to animals is something I'll let a far higher power decide - but using their life for better they might still be able to revert such a reincarnation." Zu Fu gathered his hands on the back and smiled.
An interested glance was cast Grandma's way as she very skillfully deducted how the spirits worked.
"Well done, that's exactly right." he nodded. "These spirits cannot help it though, for they are the remnants of like minded people guided by instinct - but they ruin it for themselves by digging an even deeper hole to try and escape the darkness." Zu Fu explained, his explanation duly cloaked in metaphors.
"Yes please do, just don't turn her into a farm animal or the likes please." Zu Fu smiled and chuckled. He felt like he had come to know Grandma - at least this side of her - well enough to find that she wasn't going to be cruel for the sport of it at least. "For one like you who speaks such of what can be gained personally, you do carry a warm smile." Zu Fu complimented her, perhaps hinting that her ideals were perhaps not always as much in control as she would like to make people think.
The girl would awake slowly to see her bucket filled with water but little recollection of what happened besides vague dream like images. As for Grandma and Zu Fu, the old shaman had gently suggested that they'd go so the girl would not remember too much from what happened, and as such they continued towards the city. Tea was the next goal, and to their luck the small town had a very decent looking tea shop that sold a bit of ramen too. The sight of it only had Zu Fu's feet all excited as he picked up the pace.
"Come on, you wanted tea right? It says here that a certain Master of Tea Ceremonies owns this place - it should be great!" he said enthusiastically, and stepping inside the tea shop the spicy yet calming smell of the finest tea would greet them in the half full salon. "I see a nice little table over there!" Zu Fu trotting over to a corner close to the bar in legged position at the traditional low table as a young and bubbly lady approached.
"What would you two like? We have the finest tea in east Jeoncho. Oolong Tea, bamboo tea, green tea, black tea and plenty more..." she said and looked back and forth at Grandma and Zu Fu - the latter looking to Grandma.
"Anything you'd like?" he'd simply ask, though he didn't of course believe that she might know which she preferred. "You can't pick the wrong tea, but some gives you an added clarity, others calms you down and there are sorts of tea that increases your energy levels too. On the subtle level mind you." he smiled.

For one like you who speaks such of what can be gained personally, you do carry a warm smile.
“Why thank you, it’s taken me quite a while to perfect,” Grandma said with a chuckle, flashing the smile briefly towards Zu Fu.
Given Zu Fu thought the girl would be safe, Grandma set off after her elderly companion without complaint. As they reached the city, and then the tea shop, Zu Fu’s excitement over the prospect of a hot drink was clearly visible. As usual, he seemed to wear his emotions on his sleeve, a trait Grandma supposed could be considered endearing.
“A Master of Tea Ceremonies? Does one have to pass an exam of some sort to gain that title?” Grandma raised one eyebrow in question as she followed Zu Fu over to a table. It seemed like a rather odd thing to have to qualify for, but she supposed it made at least a little sense given how popular tea was in Tawakoshi.
Easing herself into a chair, Grandma let out a sigh of relief. All this walking was rough on her body, and although it was certainly tougher than it looked, walking for miles upon miles still took its toll.
“Is it possible to get a small amount of each tea, that way I can try several all at once? I’m willing to pay extra if this request is more troublesome than normal.” Reaching into her robe, Grandma produced several small pieces of gold, which she gently set on the table. While she might not have acquired any Tawakoshian currency yet, she had a feeling even the people of Tamakoshi were more than familiar with the value of gold.
“Also get whatever you like Zu Fu, I’ll take care of the bill for you. Consider it thanks for you showing me around Tawakoshi.” Even if for some reason the tea house here didn’t wish to accept her gold, she could exchange it elsewhere later to repay her guide. He didn’t look like the type to be swimming in cash, so she figured the least she could do was pay for any expenses on their journey.

The comment that her smile had taken her a long time to perfect did spark a small frown on Zu Fu's forehead - among the many others - but it was quite forgotten as they sat in the tea shop ready to order.
"Oh yes, being a Tea Ceremony Master is quite the prestigious job. Picking the right herbs, ensuring the tea as served at the right temperature corresponding with the given tea and doing it with a proper etiquette is something that is enjoyed in Tawakoshi." Zu Fu explained musing over what to get.
The waitress nodded quickly.
"Well normally we only serve one tea at a time, so the others don't get cold, but we can serve five different types in smaller cups so you have a chance of drinking them all without them getting cold." answered awaiting Grandma's response.
Zu Fu nodded at her with a smile.
"At least I'll take such an assortment - it will be a refreshing deviation from the normal." he said but stressed. "Of course I expect your ceremony master to uphold his standards." Zu Fu giving a rare stern glance, but it was important for the old man that these instances of unwinding were joyful and not wasted. The waitress nodded even faster.
"Of course sir!" she answered and counted out Grandma's coins, seeing the difference to the Tawakoshi ones at glance. "Oh you did look like a foreigner too!" she said and inspected the coin further. "Seems like about the same value as the ones we use - but I'm surprised you've printed a picture of a kitsune on them." she mused.
"Ohh that is very nice of you, such generosity!" Zu Fu said grinning. "Then I won't have to get creative this time! Although since I started doing a few duties for Lord Ko..." Zu Fu gave a sidelong glance to the waitress almost forgetting where he was. "Lord Komamune... I have had a bit more in my pockets than I am used to. A very generous man indeed..!" Zu Fu nodded and smiled.
"Lord Komamune? I haven't heard about him?" the waitress said and scratched her head.
"Ehrmm... Lord Komamune resides down south, a rather small clan." he smiled politely and nodded, a small gesture with his hand indicated the waitress could get their tea now.
"Really..? I have a lot of family down there, and the only lord I've heard about from that place is Noritoshi-sama..." she said.
"Isn't this a marvelous conversation topic? However we are quite thirsty, my good lady!" Zu Fu said and nodded yet again.
"But I don't think Noritoshi-sama has any branch families that goes by the name. But I've heard of Kumagai, who is the general of Kasen no To..." she said as Zu Fu firmly interjected.
"Quite thirsty..!" his face friendly as ever, but it was unlike him to interrupt unless it was really important. The waitress nodded a bit reluctantly and went up behind the counter.
"She's a talkative one... I'm sorry, that one was my fault, I should be a little more careful next time, Grandma." Zu Fu said and chuckled, although his words were sincere.

Grandma nodded at Zu Fu’s explanation of a “Tea Ceremony Master”. While she still thought it a little odd, she might as well experience their expertise first hand by tasting the tea.
“Yes, an assortment sounds exactly what I was looking for,” Grandma said as she pushed the coins towards the waitress. The woman’s comment about a “kitsune” on the coin drew a chuckle from the old woman.
“I am a foreigner yes, journeyed here all the way here from the Isran Empire. You might find it hard to believe, but that ‘kitsune’ on the coin is actually our current Empress.” Leaning back in her chair with a slight smirk, Grandma waited for the waitress reaction to her words.
Zu Fu’s mention of having to get creative raised several questions in Grandma’s mind, but she decided it best to leave that rock unturned for the moment.
“It is only fair I pay my guide after all. If we ever enter some town or city with good Inns, by all means, let me know about them. I’m more than willing to pay if it means we can stay off the side of the road for a night.”
Grandma seemed about to say more but paused as the waitress interjected. The woman was far more persistent than Grandma expected a woman of her station to be, practically grilling Zu Fu about the small bit of information he had mentioned offhand.
“That one doesn’t know how to take a hint. And no need to apologize, we can simply pass ourselves off as senile if need be. That’s one way to get out of potentially sticky situations.” Stifling a yawn, Grandma drummed her fingers on the table as she waited for the tea.
“I’m starting to grow a bit excited, the prospect of watching you wake a dragon… It grows more enticing by the day.” The final words were barely above a whisper, Grandma closing her eyes as a satisfied expression spread over her face.

"Your empress..?!?" the waitress said and seemed all excited by the thought. "Having a kitsune as an empress you must be awfully spiritual in Isra!" she exclaimed, Zu Fu frowning slightly but keeping his smile as she continued. "But it's also dangerous, those spirits are very fun loving and will do what they can to tease you to exhaustion." she continued Zu Fu nodded knowingly remembering Kazue, who, despite the fact he very much cared for the spirit, would not put as regent for the life of him and smirked the way only elderly men can do, when they think of something they choose not to share with anyone else.
The girl went on a bit yet telling about how she had once found it impossible to light a fire in the fireplace of her home and she was adamant it was a kitsune because she had forgotten to leave an offering by the shrine of wind the other day when her grandma had fallen ill. Zu Fu nodded at Grandma whispering slowly.
"It might have... or it might not have been a kitsune..." and from Zu Fu's tone it was clear that he leaned towards the latter in this situation. From there the conversation trailed off to Zu Fu nearly spitting out too much about his employer.
Zu Fu nodded knowingly as Grandma seemed to be of the same belief as him, that the girl did not take a proper hint, but quickly thereafter tea was served. Five different patterned and colored cups were served by the girl and an old guy with a long white chin-beard and a yellow and white kimono came over with a wide smile.
"Dragon tea from the left which aids your strength and wisdom, and then there is bamboo which grants you flexibility of mind and body, green tea of healing and black tea to recharge your chi..." he explained and pointed towards the last cup with an open palm. "Finally there is my specialty, white tea, which I grow myself and that can invoke gentle premonitions and visions of the future..." he said with a mysterious smile and retreated behind the counter to let the customers taste the tea.
"Ahh finally! I guess I'll started from the left then!" Zu Fu rubbed his hands sipping the dragon tea. "Yes, speaking of which right?" he smiled back at Grandma. "I don't know how it is going to happen, only that I have to be there. Awaking the Black Dragon of The North I simply touched the water in the pond where it rested at the bottom. It told me me it was a rather abrupt awakening! But who knows? Maybe the blue one is a more sound sleeper, and there is a reason why you came along?" he said with a smirk.

Grandma seemed slightly amused by the waitress' outburst about Isra having a “kitsune” as Empress. She made no attempt to correct the girl, simply nodding along as the girl spoke. Attempting to explain the differences between Naoki and a Kitsune to the waitress wasn’t something Grandma felt inclined to do at the moment.
“Well, she certainly has quite the active imagination, that’s for sure,” Grandma muttered under her breath to Zu Fu as he voiced his doubts about the girl's story.
Offering a polite nod to who Grandma presumed made the tea, she followed Zu Fu’s lead, taking a cautious sip of the dragon tea. Given the topic Grandma had just brought up, it seemed fitting to drink this one first.
“Your presence is rather distinct, Zu Fu. If these dragons are as spiritually attuned as you make them out to be, it doesn’t surprise me at all that the dragon was startled by your arrival. You’d be quite the menace if you weren’t so laid back. The people of Tawakoshi are very fortunate one as hospitable as yourself controls such power.”
Grandma’s voice was more serious than normal, the old woman directing a knowing look towards Zu Fu. Deciding to move on to the next cup, Grandma raised the bamboo tea to her lips, sniffing at it a moment before taking a sip.
“You flatter me, but you hardly need my presence to awake the dragons. I suspect I’m simply along for the ride because you worry what type of trouble I might get into should I be left unsupervised.” Shaking her head with a chuckle, she took another sip of the bamboo tea. It certainly had a unique flavor… She wasn’t sure if she actually liked the flavor, but she did like new experiences and this tea certainly qualified as one.

Zu Fu chuckled slightly as he took a sip of the dragon tea and Grandma insinuated that he might pass for quite a monster if he chose to use his powers for other reasons.
"Nonsense..." he said and grinned. "I've never even tried to use my power for selfish means or contemplated they could by used for sadistic purposes. For all I know they only work in accordance with the flow of all things, and if you stat getting selfish you'll disrupt this very flow." he said and shook his head. "Even if such powers can be corrupted I know far too much about corruption to ever find that it could make me a tempting offer." Zu Fu said and sipped also to the bamboo tea which he found very delicious.
"The flavor is good right?" he smiled at Grandma having listened to her deduct what might be another part of the truth. "Indeed I wanted to introduce you to the Tawakoshi customs in the right way - but fate has not brought you along with me idly and though it might seem like that to you, I'm sure your presence will be meaningful in regards to the end goal - though it has not been revealed to me how, yet." he said and sniffed the the black tea. "I feel as if my energy is already being restored." Zu Fu put the cup to his lips with joy.
"Tell me please, what do you like to do when you want to relax and decouple from work and stress? I must be honest and say that I'm curious of it is a very human thing or... if it borders on some more esoteric practices." the old sage asked curiously. "I bet even though the body of yours is special, the muscles could still get sore and stiff begging for a massage, am I right?"

“That is why I say the people of Tawakoshi are fortunate to have you. Should someone else possess your power, things could turn out quite differently. I believe you when you say you won’t be corrupted, you’re far too stubborn for that.” Grandma’s words were followed by a playful smirk.
“Good..? I’ll say it’s interesting.” Finished with the bamboo tea, Grandma moved onto the black tea, concluding after only a single sip it had a far more agreeable flavor. “I suppose we shall see if your assessment of fate bringing us together is correct or not by the end of our journey. To be honest, I’ve never put much stock in the idea of ‘fate’.” Waving her hand dismissively, she continued in a deadpan tone. “I prefer to dictate my own destiny.”
Zu Fu’s question regarding relaxation was one that caught Grandma off guard somewhat, the old woman placing her tea back down on the tray as she contemplated it. Was this the first time she’d been asked such a question? It was certainly something she hadn’t given much thought to before.
“I don’t have the same need to relax as humans do—yet I still take part in ‘leisurely’ activities fairly often. Traveling to new places is something that brings me pleasure, that is perhaps the best example I can give to you as something I do to ‘relax’.” Deciding to test the proprietor's claims of the white tea giving “premonitions”, Grandma took a long sip of it. Smacking her lips in satisfaction, she looked back up at Zu Fu.
“My body does indeed tire, especially on long trips such as this one. I’d normally do something to remedy that, but I’ve been trying to keep a low profile… Are you suggesting there’s someone who could give us massages in this town or are you offering to give me one?” Grandma raised one eyebrow at her elderly companion, curious if it had been simply small talk or if he had something in mind.

"Stubborn?!?" he said and smirked. "It's a long time since anyone called me that, but I can't really argue with that. Stubbornness has its place when you know that you're right." he laughed. "Still... my powers are not easily possessed, I don't think I do anyway. The spells seems slightly different in nature every time I cast them and if I was downright inflexible, they would be far less potent." Zu Fu revealed.
"You're skills in diplomacy does not surprise me, yet they are impressive..!" Zu Fu said and raised his brows as he took another sip of the black tea. Zu Fu grinned as he put down the cup. "And what makes you think that fate cannot be changed? Fate is just the naturally crossing roads - one can travel them, but also stomp down new ones. And as such your words are wise indeed." he smiled and proceeded to the white tea, the flavor definitely agreeable, but it contained little trace of the premonitions it was sold as giving.
"Oh... no I was just curious to habits beyond investigating the known world and traveling it thin." Zu Fu said slightly surprised that his words had been taken like that. "I find that frankly massage can be a bit rough for my body unless the one performing it knows exactly what he or she does." he said and chuckled.
