It had been many days since his defeat at the paper crane, her moniker causing him great turmoil as she had left behind the crane totem that she had intended on obfuscating from the night market. It sat on his night table as a constant reminder to his folly. She had completely beaten him, rendering him obsolete in his own eyes. The poignant effect of that made him hate himself even further how could he have been beaten by such a weakling? Or was he the one who was actually weak?
The self actualization that had lead to the belief that he was less than someone else, and not the strongest of his generation had chilled him to his core. How could that be the case? No, he was the lord of the long night, and the head of the Ketseuki clan. He was what went bump in the night! He was the bringer of the end times! He would not be defeated by a blue haired paper woman. Rising from his bed from the first time in days he had dispatched his attendants to acquire him something for the coming days. He also tapped the Spiders Web to learn of all of the happenings of one Kannagi Irezumi going back to his defeat.
Once he had everything he needed he was told she was going to the Silk sand coast to respond to a request to aid a salt mine and its workers. A grin that belayed little more then nefarious plotting graced his face as he left the compound of his clan and traversed the Kataki roads all the way to the Silk Sand Coast. Once he arrived in the region he would don an outfit that was quite separate from what his normal appearance was. Gone was Alvah Ketseuki for now, as the Black Spider was now born.
