Kanaichi- Thank you, uh, can you tell me which one went to the stable, I forgot.

Yoru- When you come to the split turn right. The left goes to the castle.

Kanaichi- Again, thank you.

Lord Azarashi- Are you sure that he will not betray us.

Kanaichi- I know he won’t, because his wife was a demon. He told me she was killed and his son taken.

Lord Azarashi- Ok, then lets go.

So they went into the passage. When they got to the stable, Hoshi went in first to make sure the guard was not in sight, no one was there and he was glad, for he did not want to hurt anyone.

Hoshi- The coast is clear. There are no people in sight.

Lord Azarashi- All right, let us go then.

Shikia- What about the four extra horses?

Kanaichi- They can stay in the passage.

Lord Azarashi- Ok, but lets take the saddles and bridles off of them.

Washi- Why, will they think that they get to go somewhere without us?

Kanuichi- No, we’ll do that so if they were to run they would not hurt themselves.

Washi- Oh, ok. I get it now.

Inside another part of the castle, Hebi was watching Lord Azarashi, yet the Hebi watching them was not the real Hebi, but a demon in human form. The demon’s name is Okami. He was the meanest wolf demon at that time. He had taken over Hebi the year Taichi was born.

Okami- Bring me the maker of demonic swords.
