Rea woke up in what looked like a river or lake though it wasn't deep since it only went to her ankles. She thought you know I could have drowned it only takes a gulp of water and it going down the wrong pipe to drown. As she kept walking wondering where the hell she was but she could feel that Kayia was starting to get giggly and that wasn't a good thing at the moment. She decided to start walking and hoped that she could find some civilization she could already figured that she wasn't in Japan anymore. She wondered how far this view would go and how long she was going to be stuck here. About three miles she finally found the beginning of what looked like a maze and she jumped on to the roof and looked around.

She noticed a castle and though shit I'm in the damn dynasty now I need to find a way out and out of site of Arago and his warlords. As she turned around she knew that she would have to rely on Kayia since she knows what it's like to live in the Dynasty. She thought to Kayia and told her that she would allow her to take over to help her blend in this world. Kayia grinned as she thought great now my plan will work. Kayia knew that with this plan she would be able to show Rea the real dynasty the way that the ronins should be living. As Kayia took over she quickly turned to the right and started to go to where she lived for the last few centuries. It was a village and the people who lived there were staring at the stranger with a look of who the hell are you and what the hell are you wearing.

Kayia said, "I come in peace."

An elderly woman replied, "Oh my Kayia is that you. What weird clothes are you wearing are you trying to get on Arago's bad side or bring him here?"

Kayia sighed as she said, "No Granny Dina, Arago used me in a ritual to give me back my armor the barrier holder was from the mortal realm and this is what the mortal girl wears. We were fine until a quite violent vortex brought us here. She decided that since I know more about this realm I should be in control of her body."

Dina smiled as she said, "Well then come with me and we will get you changed into a more appropriate clothes."

Kayia nodded as she followed Dina to her old home which was a temple that Rea was sure a priestess would love to live in.

As Dina opened the door for her she said, "Kayia remember the rules keep Arago away from this place since this is the true dynasty if he finds out that you are back in the dynasty then you will go back to serving him. We live here in peace because you sever him along with the other dark warlords but you have more to lose than those stupid men do."

Kayia nodded as she walked in to the temple and let Dina close the door as she went to get changed. As she got to the closet she could tell that Rea was frozen in fear in her mind. She sighed as she knew that she should have told Rea everything that day that they talked.

She quickly changed into a silver kimono and then went into a meditation stance. Since she was always in Rea's mind she was able to find the bond with Rea in an instance and saw Rea glaring at her.

Kayia said, "Rea, you don't understand everything the deal happened way before you were born or even before your grandparents. This was the first village the dynasty ever had. I was born and raised here and loved it. When Arago came into power he wanted to rule the dynasty with an iron fist. When he came to the village he tried to take over, but he couldn't so he used negotiation. He would leave us in peace if one of us would become his warrior. We agreed but when he told us what he wanted in his warrior we had told him that we needed a week to figure out who would join. He agreed we knew that I was the only one who would fit the guidelines. I was sixteen at the time and had the armor that was a gift from my grandfather. The elders came to me and told me that it was either I worked with that blasted demon or the village would be wiped out.

I had no choice so I agreed to join. The reason why Dina stated what she did was because when I joined I had Arago agree that as long as I fought for him that he wasn't allowed to touch the village which is why I have more to lose than the dark warlords. The rules are that if I left Arago then I am allowed to stay here, unless he finds me here then I am to go back to being a loyal servant. He will punish me here and then again at the castle as you can figure out why I turned spy from that and that I never tried to leave his service. "

Rea knew that was all of it and nodded as Kayia went back into the real world where she sighed as she knew that with most of the clan knowing that she was here then Arago would know in a few days since Rajura would come over from time to time. She knew that if she was found then Rea would be pissed since they would have no choice but to fight for Arago. As she got up to find something to do she wondered how much longer their freedom was going to last.

As she walked out not even noticing that she didn't grab the armor orb out of the jeans pocket. She told Rea that it was safe in the village and to talk to the people here and get to know them. Rea was glad to meet some of the villagers as they were more than happy to either talk or give directions. She was talking to an old man name Odin who was telling her about another girl that he had seen who also holds an armor and that to help free the dynasty that girl needed to be found but she was out of reach with the rest of the world. Rea could tell that the Odin knew what he was talking about and decided to write it down before she forgot that way if she ever got out of here she would be able to start a search for this mysterious warrior. She already knew that Arago didn't know about this warrior hell he didn't even know about her for crying out loud.

As they days turned she was fitting into the village she still had to rely on Kayia to do the kimono every day. She was starting to feel safe in the village and also, she started to understand why Kayia believed that the barriers should live in the dynasty this village was starting to feel like home to her. The only problem was that her family wasn't here and that she wasn't whole without them or without Toma.

At the castle Rajura was feeling restless and didn't know why. He decided to go for a walk and thought to visit the one village that they actually couldn't touch. He loved going there since it was full of nice people and probably the most nonviolent place in the dynasty. He was adopted into the clan when he had been injured and the young priestess had healed him. She was young and had an armor that she told him that her grandfather gave her. When he was fully healed she took him to the elders who had decided to adopt him into their clan and as long as he didn't attack them he was always welcomed.

As he walked in he noticed that the people seem to be a little livelier not that it took much since they were always a lively bunch. He saw Dina; he started to walk towards her when he heard someone talking about how it was nice that Kayia came back them. As he made it to Dina he smiled and hugged her.

She said, "Rajura, what a pleasant surprise. You haven't visit in a long time."

Rajura replied, "I know that I haven't visited here in awhile but, Arago kept us busy fighting the Ronin's. Right now we are regaining our strength so we will be better prepared when we fight the Ronin's. I came because I was out for a walk feeling restless and decided to come for a visit. This village has changed a lot since I came here last. Though I am interested in a little detail that I overheard about Kayia finally came back to live in the village."

He noticed that she had paled at the information and knew that what he had overheard was true Kayia was back in the village.

Dina put her head down and sighed she knew what this meant and she really didn't want to see Kayia tortured but she already knew that Rajura would tell his master and he would personally come to take her back.

She said, "Rajura, we will give you to her to bring back to Arago just please don't tell that master of yours that she was here."

Rajura sighed but said, "I can't do that Dina. Arago would want to know where I found her and since I caught her and not one of his tin soldiers was killed then he would be suspicious on how I caught her."

Dina knew that he was right and waved a middle age woman that Rajura knew was named Luna.

Dina whispered, "Bring Kayia to me, tell her that we are sorry but Rajura is here."

Luna nodded as she walked off knowing that the temple isn't too far away.

Kayia felt a familiar power level in the village and thought shit I was hoping to have more than four days. They had decided that while they were inside the temple than Kayia would be the one to be in control while Rea could relax for a while and process what she was learning. She turned to her mind and saw Rea who was sitting in a meditated pose and looked completely relaxed until she noticed Kayia.

Rea said, "Don't worry Kayia I also felt the power level of Rajura being here. I had a gift to sense the power level once I been around it once. I know that you have to go back with him, but I will not fight for Arago."

Kayia replied, "You won't have a choice you need to have control of your body not me or Arago will figure out that our fusing was partly successful. He wanted me to have control of your body but what happen was that we both equally strong will so we both can have control of your body. I just let you have control to piss him off."

Rea nodded as she went back into reality and kept a neutral face. She waited until she heard a sharp knock on the door.
