Japan...
Ise...
On the way to the shrine Jin, Sophie and Lok talked about the shrine.
Sophie: There are 2 great shrines there. Right?
Jin: yeah. They are called Shinto shrines. There is the Yata no the city of Ise there are 125 shrines.
Lok. Shinto shrine?
Jin: Yeah. There are 2 most holy shrines. The Inner Shrine, Naikū, is located in the town of Uji-tachi, south of central Ise City, and is dedicated to the worship of Amaterasu. The Outer Shrine, Gekū is located about six kilometers from Naikū and dedicated to Toyouke, the deity of agriculture and industry.
Sophie: That's interesting.
Cherit: You know quiet a lot about this place my boy.
Dante: OK we are here.
Lok: Wow! It looks awesome.
Zhalia: We have another long walk if I am not wrong, right?
Jin: Yeah.
They started walking to the Naikū. It took them a lot of time to get is the The Uji Bridge, then the Tamizusha, then the Saikan and Anzaisho, then the Kaguraden, then Imibiyaden and finally the Kotaijinku.
Man: あなたは誰ですか？
Lok: WhaT? What did he say Jin?
Jin: He asked who we are.
Zhalia: Don't tell me people are not allowed here.
Jin: Not really. People come here to pray, but taking pictures is not allowed. Don't worry, I know the head priest. He will allow us to go further.
Dante: Than we leave that to you.
Man: あなたは誰ですか？
Jin: 私の名前は Jin です. 筆頭司祭は私を知っています.
Man: Jin ？! ああはい. Kaze - sama があなたを待っています.
Jin: Ok guys. Lets go.
Dante: Good work.
Once they went in a bold middle aged man waited for them.
Kaze: Jin! My good friend. How are you doing?
Jin: Good. Kaze, this are my friends. Sophie, Zhalia, Dante, Lok and Cherit.
Lok: Jin, is it a good idea to tell them about Cherit?
Dante: Since Izanagi was a seeker than they must be seekers too.
Sophie: Just like with Thor and the guardians.
Jin: Something like that. Kaze, I need the Yata no Kagami.
Man 1: What! We can not giv...
Kaze: Silence! Jin, why do you need it?
Jin: To find the titan Amaterasu.
Man 2,3,4:What! Amaterasu!
Dante: That's right. Why are you so shocked?
Jin: Because no one has found him until now.
Kaze: Fine, but only if you beat me in battle.
Zhalia: What?
Jin: Heh. No problem.
Kaze: You sure? You know you never won until now.
Jin: I became stronger since that time.
Kaze: We will see. Let us go to the secret land.
Cherit: Secret land?
Jin: Under the temple is a small land were the priests fight and train. It is unknown to the normal world.
They went in a secret door and went down some stairs. Then they cam to some big cave with trees and grass.
Jin: Well let us begin. WOLF KNIGHT!
Kaze: I agree! SHINOBI!
Wold Knight ran to Shinobi, but Shinobi vanished in smokes. He got behind Wolf Knight, but Wolf Knight reacted and jumped.
Jin: Dragon Fist!
Kaze: Dragon Fist!
They run to each other and punched and fought for some time.
Jin:
Kaze:
Jin punched Kaze but Kaze was still standing. Wolf Knight was beaten by Shinobi.
Jin:FREELANCER! Hyperstride!
He put Hyperstride on Freelancer and Freelancer went really fast and defeated Shinobi, but he was also almost destroyed.
Kaze: Boltflatre.
Jin: Boltflare!
Jin and Kaze got hit by the boltflare and went flying.
While they tried to get up, they tried to use Everfight but they were to weak for it. Jin was about to fall, while Kaze was still standing.
Kaze: See, you are sill weaker.
Jin: You sure. I still have power to summon a weaker titan. You don't. All your titans are strong fighters.
Kaze: What?
Jin: Heal! STUFSKULL!
A little stuff with 3 pointy feet and 2 pointy hand cam out. It head a skull as a head with feathers on it, and a sharp teeth necklace.

Kaze: Fine, fine. You win.
Everyone: Yes!

Jin: Thanks. Now please Kaze. The mirror.
Kaze: This way.
Man 3: Is it a good idea to give it to them.
Kaze: Yes. Jin is a good man with a good heart.
They went a little more to the cave and came to a locked old room. 4 priests opened it and took the mirror and give it to Jin.
Kaze: Here.
Jin: Thanks.
Before the heroes left Kaze said that he would like to come with them.
Kaze: You guys take care while I am with them.
Priest's: Yes master.
While camping in the woods Jin and Kaze talked for a long time.
Late than night...
Jin: OK guys, we are close to the cave. So we should rest for now so that we have enough power if we need it.
