Heavenfall

Hantei flashed back a pure white smile "You can try Nanzi-kun but the only one capable in 10,000 of such a feat has been the great Hida-kami himself." with that Hantei finished his drink in one long swallow and motioned for another in short order "You may have completed 3 impossible tasks but do you...

Hantei nodded and raised an eyebrow "Hantei-kun is it? I can't remember the last time someone addressed me so familiarly besides my dear wife of course." he said with a chuckle "We truly have done the impossible here, pulling a fallen god from the pits of the realm of evil. Certainly something worth...

Hantei smiled a little more broadly than usual and chuckled into his cup "And I'm sure at some point I'll with I'd let that Oni finish me of in Jigoku." he paused for a drink "But right now it's not so bad." Hantei was having a good time despite himself, he wouldn't show it to any except his wife bu...

Hantei nodded and touched his brothers shoulder lightly "Its good to have you back." He said before turning and giving the newly weds some time alone.

Hantei bristled slightly but with no real malice "I!...." he sighed "I wouldn't lose you a second time, you're not my favorite brother but you and I are still family. Had I not cut the beasts leg we would not have been able to carry you out of their." He deflated a little "But thank you, I owe you m...

"The bubble almost broke." he said quietly "It took the last of my divine spark to fix it so we could escape." he looked down at his brother for a moment "It was worth it." he said with a faint smile "It was all worth it."

With all the chaos Reiko was evacuated back to the camp after the ceremony and the arrival of the monster. Hantei Now strode to her tent his broken brother in his arms still exhausted but Hantei walked on regardless. His brother laid passive in his arms sleeping from the torture and then use of magi...

Hantei throws his brother into the barrier drawing his divine blade and waiting to see what kind of monster the realm of hell mustered to stop him.

Hantei nodded and strode from the protective bubble allowing the light of Lady Amaterasu to protect him from the twisted influence of this plane. He approached the the stone and in one swift move he unsheathed his sword the blade singing as it left the sheath a crystal clear song that rang prettily ...

Then came the man to break the bonds, Hantei strode up facing his younger brother with a blank stoicism "Hello brother. Its been too long." Hantei shone brightly in this place even more brightly than on earth. Despite his calm exterior a strain of uncertainty was upon his voice, uncertainty and a li...

Hantei stood glowing with the favor of heaven as he always did his armor golden and shining his celestial sword strapped to his side. He looked on with a practiced expression of polite indifference to his surroundings and waited for the bubble to be constructed so they could do what they came here t...

"Youre not as smart or as wise as you think you are Reiko." Hantei says nodding to Saruko for her support "I am going and there is nothing on this earth that can stop me. Shinsei may say whatever words he likes." He took some time and a few deep breaths he carefully reassembled his mask though imper...

"That is enough !" Hantei says, his eyes flare with uncharacteristic anger, his frayed nerves, his guilt, these past 2 weeks finally breaking his mask of politeness. His hand slams on the makeshift table with plans on it the wood splintering beneath the force. "You presume to question my intentions,...

Hantei shrugged "Fu Leng was ever the pragmatic one. If he has issue with me he will wait to settle it until we have returned."

"Then you have not seen it." He said simply looking forward disengaging from the conversation.

"Have you seen this in a vision? Do you now this for certain? Or is it just how ou feel?" He asked her with a pointed gaze "by all logic having our strongest member down there is the only way to give it the best chance to succeed."

Hantei fixed Reiko with a stern look his features as unpleasant as anyone had seen them before. "Reiko-san you have a great many gifts but you have no control over what I do. If it comes to ensuring this mission is a success or placate whatever childish squabble you have with me then I know what sid...

Hantei looked to Shinjo and shook his head "No Shinjo you are faster than me but we both know I am stronger and more skilled, besides." He looked down at his hand "I am the only one of us that still has the blessing of Tengoku upon my person, we don't know but I believe it should offer me a measure ...

Hantei places his hand on her shoulder and gives her a comforting smile, his hand falls down to the generous curve of her hip and rests there for now. "I will be accompanying the team sent into Jigoku. I will do everything in my power to rescue my brother from his bonds." Hantei said to those assemb...

Hantei was there of course and watched each person step forward he made little fan fare of his appearance but his presence was undoubtedly felt. He frowned as Kinsen volunteered to go into the pit but stayed his tongue until Shinsei had selected the dive team.
