Dixia was one of the various female cultivators of the Gozen Sect. In fact, she was one of the oldest, being part of it for over a hundred years. Together with a few other trusted disciples, she took care of Tomoe's shores, which she did with pride. Tomoe was strong and always helped them with their cultivation questions. She was pretty much the perfect leader, and no one questioned her position.
At the mont, it was Dixia's ti to attend to Tomoe, although she didn't expect to be doing anything today. Tomoe was cultivating, and Dixia knew how long Tomoe usually took to co out. Yet, to her surprise, she received a Spiritual Sense ssage telling her to prepare so Spirit Tea and bring it to Tomoe's room.
As unusual as it might be, Dixia followed the orders and didn't think much about it. She prepared tea to the best of her abilities, quickly bringing it to Tomoe's room... just to find out Tomoe wasn't alone. Other than Tomoe's attendings, you never saw anyone in there. That made Dixia wonder if the other attending had been called or sothing.
Of course, that thought lasted only a second! "N!"
Dixia almost dropped the tray with the tea on the ground. Sure, their sect won went out to have 'relations' with other n to replenish their necessary Yang Energy. However, n were absolutely prohibited from entering the sect. If there was a need to talk to soone important, Tomoe and the others would always co out and have a conversation about whatever it might be in the city below.
Seeing n in the sect, especially in Tomoe's room, was a shock to Dixia. She quickly took out her sword, preparing to call for help. Several tis, she heard Tomoe saying that she would never bring n into her room in the sect. If they are here, that's because they are forcing her, right? "M-Master! Should I call the elders?!"
Tomoe looked at Dixia, shaking her head. "Even if you bring the entire sect here, a single one of them could wipe the sect out on his own."
"This..." Dixia was taken aback, her hands trembling as she held her sword.
Rean looked at the girl, laughing out loud. "Tomoe, can't you make a better introduction? Look at her. She thinks we barged our way here now."
"Isn't that the truth?" Tomoe glared at Rean.
*touche!*
"Well..." Rean had no answer to that.
Tomoe faintly smiled, waving her hand at Dixia. "Don't worry, Dixia. This guy doesn't know manners, but he is still an acquaintance of mine. He is not here for dual cultivation either. My sword intent reached the level it did today because of him as well."
"Ah!" Dixia imdiately ca over and put the tea on the table. "You an, that person who helped you in the past was him?" She and the other closer girls had heard from Tomoe about Rean. Well, Tomoe never told them Rean's na. She only said she had t soone who beca the trigger for her Sword Intent Evolution but never got into details about that encounter. All the girls were still curious up to this day about who that person was. Now, lo and behold! That person is here!
"I sohow seem a little bit famous..." Rean comnted in the passing.
However, Dixia's expression turned dark right after. "But it was also you who made Master angry! Master told how you haven't paid her for her work all this while. Well, I guess that's n for you."
"That's right, Rean!" Kentucky helped her. "How could you be so ungrateful?"
Rean swore he would give the fat bird a beating later. "You are also a man, you know?"
"Of course not!" Kentucky shook his head. "I'm a bird! Male, definitely, but still a bird." Tomoe was very satisfied with her disciple. "Alright, Dixia. That's enough. Serve the tea and stand on the side. I have things to talk about with these guys."
Dixia quickly followed the orders and served the tea... leaving Rean's cup half empty, though. "Hmph!" Then, she went to Tomoe's back, standing at her side.
Rifindio looked at the girl there, narrowing his eyes. "What we have to talk about is of utmost importance. It would be better if she doesn't participate."
Tomoe shook her head. "I trust Dixia completely. I can guarantee you that she will rather die than spread the information of whatever you want to talk to today. Besides, aren't you here just to pay for my work with your parents? Where did this important conversation co from?" Tomoe never talked about Rean before, but now that Rean had appeared again, she didn't mind allowing Dixia to see it.
"Still-" Rifindio was about to insist, but Rean stopped him.
"Rifindio," he looked at the Camazotz Bat. "I ask you again. Is it so bad to trust soone?"
Rifindio was taken aback. That was the sa question Rean asked him on their way here. But, in the end, he was still not convinced. "Then that's your problem. Don't co at later when things go wrong because of your big mouth."
Rean didn't take Rifindio's words to heart, returning his attention to Tomoe. "Of course, I ca here to repay my debt, and I reckon you will be more than satisfied with the paynt I'm about to give you."
Following that, Rean changed the conversation to Spiritual Sense so he could explain the whole situation to the two girls in the shortest ti possible.
Tomoe was the first one to finish organizing all that information in her head, and the shock on her face at the end was palpable. "It can't be... They are planning to end this world?!"
Dixia was the next one, feeling even worse. "Impossible! How could such a thing be allowed?!"
Rean sighed, taking his sword out. "I told you want I had to. What you decide to do is up to you. Now, I promised you to show my Fifth Stage of Sword Intent again, didn't I? Shall we carry it out?"
Usually, Tomoe would ignore everything if it ca to the Fifth Stage of Sword Intent. However, that was not possible now. "I don't think I will be able to concentrate..."
