The Blue Dragon's Return

Off in the distance, a Ship was making its way back to port Dace. It was a ferry vessel carrying several passengers from what was once known as Shinto Island, Ryuuma's former homeland that was destroyed by a band of witches. Ryuuma was visiting his families graves as he always did every now and again, to remind himself of why he became a Witch Hunter. He stood at the Bow of the ship as it came in to port, his white scarf and blue hair fluttering in the wind. As the bridge was laid down from the boat to the port, the passengers began to leave the ship one after another. Ryuuma was the last to leave the ship. He had only a small bag of supplies with him, and of course his two treasured weapons that he carried with him at all times. The sun was at its highest point in the sky and there was barely any wind, just how Ryuuma liked it. With his left hand he slung his bag of supplies over his shoulder, keeping a tight grip on a rope that tied the top of the bag shut. His right hand hung by his side as he began to make his way to the nearest Inn. It was three days travel from Shinto Island and Ryuuma was in need of a good rest on a bed that didn't sway from side to side. He didn't like ships because he often got sea sick. One of his few weaknesses.

He came upon an Inn called the Witches Hat. A very peculiar name for this day and age... He wondered why in the world someone would give such a name to an Inn under the circumstances. He sighed as he opened the doors and walked in. To no surprise the Inn was desolate. Not a sole in sight except for the inn keeper. No one in their right mind would stay at an Inn with such a name, it was a wonder how a place could get enough business to stay open. He looked at the Inn keeper who looked fairly surprised to see him and said, "One night..." He reached in to a pouch and pulled out a couple shillings, handing it to the Inn Keeper who replied. "Of course sir, I'll have your room ready soon." He was a cheery guy for someone who ran such a unsuccessful business. He traveled through the Inn until he reached the restaurant portion of the Inn. He sat down at a table, placing his bag on the chair next to him. He ordered a coffee from the waitress who seemed to appear out of nowhere and waited...

As Ryuuma waited, he rested his head on the wooden table before him. He didn't sleep a wink for the three days that he was on that ship and was about to pass out, but not before he heard his Radio buzzing. He let loose a grunt as it rang. He really didn't want to go on another job, but if he didn't take the job lives would most likely be lost. He answered his Radio and in a very annoyed tone he spoke. "What is it..?" He said as he leaned back in his chair while the waitress placed a hot mug of coffee on the table in front of him. "Oy, where you been? I gotta tun of work for ya!" The voice on the other end of the radio said. It was a mans voice, most likely mid twenties. Ryuuma took the cup of coffee from the table and held in front of his mouth as he replied. "Get to the point Chaz..." He said as he sipped his coffee. "Yeah right, right... There's this old feller ya see, turns out hes got a couple enemies lookin' to put a knife in his back so he was to offer them a little somethin somethin to get on their good side ya see? He wants one of our A-Class Witch Hunters to do the job and you're the man for that job I tell ya!" Ryuuma raised an eyebrow after hearing such an odd request that had nothing to do with witches... He placed his coffee back on the table and replied. "That's not a job for a Witch Hunter... Tell him to watch his back and that I said sorry." Ryuuma was about to hang up on Chaz, but he managed to get in a sentence before he did so. "This is an order from the higher ups, you don't have a choice ya see... Sorry mate, but looks like you've been demoted to delivering candy grams. Fellers name is Duke Davy, lives in Toron. Happy hunt- Well, you know what I'm gettin at, heh heh." After giving Ryuuma those few details, Chaz hung up.

Ryuuma grinded his teeth. He hated when he was forced to take missions he didn't want to take. "Higher ups my ass..." He said to himself as the Inn keeper walked in with a smile. "Your room is ready mister Ryuuma!" Ryuuma stood up, grabbed his bag and walked past the Inn Keeper. Without even looking back or stopping on his way to the door he said, "Sorry, change of plans. I won't be needing a room." With that he was out the door. The look on the Inn Keepers face was one of disappointment... He had lost a customer, and by the looks of the Inn he didn't get too many of those. The two shillings he received earlier were far from the cost of a room, and only paid for the coffee, so the Inn Keeper was rather upset over the loss. Ryuuma stepped out on to the street and began to make his way out of town, on his way to Central... "This sucks..." Were his last words in Port Dace.
