There is an arrival that catches Leah's interest. The girl is not the first to carry the taint of a demon, but she is the first to arrive that is so very strangled by Fate's strings. This girl is the cause of something that is going to affect the world for a very long time, and Leah doubts the girl even realizes it.
(Fate is strange, in this world. There is no grand prophecy of who shall be savior and who shall cause ruination. Fate is impact. Fate is strings of influence that change and waver as the world does. A single person may be tangled in Fate's strings, may have that prophecy, but the strings do not dictate whether they will be good or bad or something in between, only that they will be great.)
(And people can challenge Fate. They can weave their own strings, when they try hard enough.)
(Leah likes this Fate.)
"And who are you?" She asks softly, urging the world to shift so that they are in the throne room. It's an impressive room. It's an impressive throne.
"Nohara Rin." The girl says, standing straight-backed and unflinching. She is terrified, but she does not show it. Leah is impressed. The girl recognizes what sort of power she stands before.
"Tell me about yourself. How you died, how you lived, and so on." Tell me what makes you so special.
Rin tells Leah quite a lot about herself. She tells Leah about a place called Konohagakure, about people called Minato and Obito and Kakashi, about a turtle demon and Kirigakure's plan to devastate a city.
She asks about Obito. Leah checks the records (he might have been hers; he might have been Jashin's), but he seems to not be here. Rin doesn't ask about anyone else.
Leah doesn't know why Rin is so special yet. Why Fate's hand rests so heavily on her shoulder. Leah knows she's interested now, though.
"Rin, how would you like a job?"
