Sophie: Decoded what?
Jin: The documents I found in Vlad's castle. Oh well. Anyway I have to go.
Lok: Huh? Already!

Guggenheim: Take it easy for a while.
Jin: OK.
Guggenheim: Well that's good.
3 weeks later...
2 day's just after Dante and the team got back from a mission when Guggenheim called.
Lok: Guggenheim is calling.
Dante: Yeah I see. Whats the matter Guggenheim?
Guggenheim: How about a trip. Japan I should say better.
Dante: Sounds weird. Whats there?
Guggenheim: The last place that we got a report from a seeker in 3 weeks.
Sophie: What do you mean last report?
Guggeheim: He was on a mission in Japan when we lost contact with him 3 weeks ago. We though he was doing something were he could not call us, but I'm getting a little worried.
Zhalia: Weird. Maybe something happened to him.
Cherit: Don't say that. I bet his fine.
Lok: Cherit is right. Who know why he could not talk with you.
Dante: Still we should go take a look. What was his mission.
Guggenheim: Yata no Kagami.
Lok: Yata no... what?
Sophie: Yata no Kagami. Its from the Japanese mythology. Right?
Guggenheim:Right.
Dante: But none of us is good at that.
Guggenheim: I though so. So I send you a seeker that knows his way around Japan and its legend's.
Dante: Who?
Guggenheim: You will see. Hehe... Well anyway go to Japan Tokyo and meet with him. He should be staying at the hotel „Ryumeikan Tokyo", room 75. I have already got you 2 double rooms. Just tell them that you have reserved.
Lok: Cool. We are going to Tokyo.
Guggheim: Oh and he will tell you all you need to know about the , bye.
Dante: OK guy's. Lets pack our stuff .
The next day...

Lok: Whoaa! Its so cool.
Zhalia: We are on a mission here.
Sophie: Relax Zhalia. We also can have a little fun when we go on a mission.
Hotel Ryumeikan Tokyo...
Receptionist: How can I help you?
Dante: My name is Dante Vale I have reserved 2 double rooms.
Receptionist: Uh yes. Mister Vale. Come this way please.
Once they went to the rooms they went to room number 75.
Lok: This is it.
Sophie: Well lets knock.
*knock knock*
Zhalia: Huh no one is coming?
Dante: Try again.
*knock knock harder*
?: I'm coming! For crying out loud cant you wait a minu... Guys!
Everyone: Jin!
Jin: Oh. Its great to see you finally made it. Come on it.
Everyone went in.
Jin: Well lets start then. We don't have too much time.
Zhalia: Wait a minute! You are the operative we are meeting and the one who knows about Japan's mythology.
Jin: Yes. Well lets start. 2 weeks ago a Foundation operative was looking for a titan named Amaterasu.
Lok: Amaterasu? Whats that.
Jin: Amaterasu is the Japanese goddess of the sun. There is even a cult about her named „the cult of the sun".They worship Amaterasu.
Dante: What can you tell us about the Yata no Kagami.
Jin: I was just about to do it. Yata no Kagami means eight handed mirror. By the legend Izanagi lost his sister Izanami and went to the underworld to save her. He failed to do that. When he got out of the underworld he washed his face to clean himself from the pollution of the underworld. When he washed his face he created 3 „gods" from his left eye he created Amaterasu the goddess of the sun, from his right eye he created Tsukuyomi the god of the moon and from his nose Susanoo the god of storm. Susanoo and Amaterasu were always like rivals and one day after a chain of event's Amaterasu went into hiding in the Ama-no-Iwato.
Lok: Ama... what now?
Sophie: Shhhhhh Lok!
Jin: The Ama-no-Iwato. It means heavenly rock cave. By legend's it hide the sun for a long time. Then the other gods punished Susanoo and hang a mirror on a tree in front the cave to trick Amaterasu to get out. Amaterasu peeked when she though they were partying. When she peeked she saw the reflecting light of the mirror and though they had a better sun goddess, but she saw her reflection. When she got out, the gods placed a seal on the cave so that she cant hide there anymore.
Dante: So why is that so much important?
Jin: I believe that Izanagi was a powerful seeker, and that Amaterasu, Susanoo and Tsukuyomi were his and Tsukuyomi can still not be found.
Sophie: Wow. The story is weary interesting.
Cherit: I have to say that its weary nice that you know so much about it.
Zhalia: I'm impressed.
Jin: Thanks. Anyway I think we should go to sleep now and than we will get up early and go look first for the Yata no Kagami that should be located in the Ise Grand Shrine.
Dante: Your right. Well lets to go to sleep for know.
Jin: Can Cherit stay here? I would like to have some company.
Cherit: Sure. I would love to stay.
The next day, early in the morning...
Zhalia: Were is Jin?
Dante: He said to wait for him at the train station. He said he had something to do.
Zhalia: Tch!
In the meantime...
Cherit: Hurry my boy!
Jin: Its not my fault. The takoyaki took longer than I though to be made. But its worth they are good, right?
Cherit: Yeah. They are.
While Jin was running in the street to get the fast as he can to the train station he saw someone standing on a building, but the next second he vanished.
Jin: Was I imagining that?
Cherit: Whats wrong Jin?
Jin: I though I saw someone on the standing on the tall building. Well, whatever lets get going.
After 20 minutes he got to the train station. Zhalia was looking angry.
Zhalia: What took you so long!
Jin: Sorry, i went to get some takoyaki.
Sophie: What is that?
Dante: Its good.
