Edge Master sighs at his dilemma, not out of exasperation, but out of sympathy. Malfested or not, losing one's child is a terrible tragedy. Whether is a ploy or not, he was not entirely sure. The two of them do not seem to want to engage in conflict, so for now, he'll give them the benefit of doubt. He then closes his eyes in thought as he starts strokes his beard.
"I see... what a tragic turn of events. You have my sympathy."
He then opens his eyes and looks at the two.
"I do not know where the sword may be right now or who this girl you speak of since Soul Edge has many servants. However, many years ago, it held its base of operations at the cursed grounds of Ostrheinsburg. Perhaps you may find a lead there."

Raphael didn't say anything to the sympathy of Edge Master but simply nodded instead, accepting it. He mostly was impatient for the rest of the old man's words, since he knew he would continue. But to his own exasperation, Raphael let out a small sigh. It wasn't exactly what he was waiting for as an answer, but it still was a very interesting information. Anything that could leads him to his daughter was handful!
"As if I was surprised...", he said in a fuming tone.
Gazing at the moon, the vampire let his thoughts getting through. If what Edge Master was saying was true, even though it was many years ago, it probably might still be there. Or if so, it wouldn't be a bad idea to go and take a look. But Raphael also was't sure. He remembered the grotesque appearance of Soul Edge and this made him think to when he had to face the Azure Knight, many years ago, in a chapel, still at Ostrheinsburg. He finished drowned in his own blood, his body barely able to move... Yet, he managed to save himself by piercing Soul Edge in the eye and to escape. It was a miracle for him that he still could be there today, even if it came with the price of being a monster, a creature of the night...
That damn sword... so many obsessions for the price of nothing much but an eternal curse, doomed for his beloved daughter as well.
Amy...
It was awful how the thought of the loss of Amy always was annihilating him psychologically, torturing his mind... What if he couldn't find her ever again? What if she was hurt or not even in this world anymore? Why did they have to take her from him? Why is everything was so out of control?
But since there was people and that he didn't want to be too emotional in front of them, he took back control of himself, as usual and pushed his thoughts away, changing for a sudden catch of all of hi might. He looked back at Jacqueline, his gaze deep and determined.
"I believe we have our answers and know where to go next."
Even if it wasn't much informations, it still was pretty handful for the location and maybe Amy was there. This only thought brought strength and warmth to his heart and soul.
He didn't mind the dangers that could be there anymore. He simply hoped that she was there and it was enough for him...
"Merci, Monsieur. However, may I have a question that intrigue me since the beginning you arrived here... This young man that previously tried to duel us is clearly tainted. But I don't feel anything dark around you, not even an inch. What are you, exactly?", asked the blonde Frenchman curiously.

After Edgemaster told them about Ostrheinsburg Raphael looked back at Jacqueline, his gaze deep and determined.
"I believe we have our answers and know where to go next."
Jacqueline only nodded and said nothing. She hated that place, she feared that place. Why wasn't Amy to some more agreeable place? Instead of beeing captured why didn't she left to go to some party or something? Of course it wasn't her style but to enter a festive place would be so much better than going at that cursed place of Ostrheinsburg... and if it really was in that cursed place that Amy was, Jacqueline really didn't have hopes for her again... The young girl must have been shred to pieces... Maybe if they are lucky they'll come in time to hold her as she draws her last breath after some torture...
But Jacqueline thought maybe she was too pessimistic; she was tired, hungry and thirsty... Raphael seemed determined so she would not bring him down and she will faithfully follow him wherever he would want to go. Meanwhile her master was still talking to Edgemaster.
"Merci, Monsieur. However, may I have a question that intrigue me since the beginning you arrived here... This young man that previously tried to duel us is clearly tainted. But I don't feel anything dark around you, not even an inch. What are you, exactly?"
His question really caught Jacqueline's interest since she wanted to ask that since the beginning of the conversation but didn't dare speak. Curiosity taking over, she forgot about her pessimistic mood, even about her servant position and also added some questions:
"Why were you with that man? Are you a god? Why are you called Edgemaster? You're good with blades?"
She could go on with so many questions more or less useful but she stoppped to not anger Raphael and to let some times to the old man to answer.

The old man closes his eyes and chuckles at the two's queries, especially Jacqueline's.
"A god? I wouldn't say that... I'm just an old man who is indeed quite good a handling blades."
Of course in actuality, that would be a complete understatement, but there is really no point in telling them what he is really capable of. The two of them have much more pressing matters at hand.
The "god" part kinda struck him a little as it reminded him of the Hero King, the man who vows to overpowers the gods and rule the world. What exactly is he up to now...?
Nevertheless, his thoughts returned back to the two of them as he asked them.
"I can sense the evil energies of Soul Edge within you. May I ask what exactly happened that caused this?"

Raphael seemed reluctant on answering his question. He was wondering if it really was the old man's business to know his past, but since he did give him a lead, he would at least humor him. He sighed as he responded.
"I went looking for Soul Edge to secure the future for my daughter. I did find it in the hands of the Azure Knight, but he almost killed me in our fight. The wounds from that fateful duel had become infected from the evil energies of Soul Edge. I have become now what you see before you."
Edge Master nods as he heard his story. "I see... so you know the dangers that sword possesses. Be careful then and I hope you find your daughter."
As Edge Master walked off, Raphael reflected on what needed to be done. Ostrheinsburg is the only lead he got and where he originally found Soul Edge. If he was lucky, perhaps Amy would be there too. He then turned to his servant. "Let us leave this place. We've been here long enough." And with that, he starts to walk out of the port.

As Edgemaster went away, Jacqueline kept looking at him with some questionning. He really was mysterious... But she then turned her head toward Raphael as he spoke then asked:
"So hum... we are going to Osthreinsburg?"
But she quickly added to not anger her master by looking reluctant:
"Okay"
And she followed Raphael as he walked away.

Yoshimitsu waited on a small ship for the woman he had been sent word would be joining him on the trip to the isle of the easter. He was drinking Sake and watching the port he had traveled down to the isles before though the only thing there had been a few statues no sagely dead body to say was there.
The Lion from before laid within the ships center it snoozed away the coming time as he shook abit of the bluish silver mane of its out. The beast and the others of its combination seemed to be all heading towards the same destination with the two the snake and the Lion would travel by the sea while the Eagle took to the sky.

(continued from Japan)
As Desire could notice, Setsuka was indeed a loner. She tried to be agreeable to the snake, she was friendly but it looked like she wasn’t used to have much company around her.
During the trip, Setsuka had asked some questions to the magic snake, like since when she was talking, was she a normal snake before? How did she meet with Legion? How old was she?
But then they arrived to the port. Setsuka asked Desire as she wandered around the place:
"So which ship it is? Where is the man I saw last time?"[/font]

Desire would alliviate Setsuka of her questions along the way and once they had reached the indian port Desire rose up a little and her tounge darted in and out as she sniffs the surrounding with her forked tounge. "The man isss in that ssship." The snake pointed over to a Japanese styled ship alone in an off shoot little secret dock port. "The excccentric man from before is over there."
Yoshimitsu would spot the woman through his Japanese hand telescope and began calling out to her "Come hither come hither!" He wasnt being much of a ninja with how loudly he was calling out to her. The Lion from before came up to the top of the ship and spotted Desire with the woman and nodded to the snake as she nodded back. Desire spoke to the woman "We bessst be making haste."

"We bessst be making haste."
"Indeed. We do."
Setsuka smiled to Desire before she started to run toward the ship. The snake was looking cute when she rose and sniffed the surrounding. At first Setsuka was not only distrusful by some perverted snake that she thought it was but also, a snake wasn’t the kind of animal she felt more at ease with from the beginning.
But along the way, she lost her slight fear of the animal and Desire could climb on her shoulders without problems. Though as they arrived in the port, Setsuka noticed that some people shared the fear of snakes she first had as they gazed worriedly at the reptile when they noticed her. So running to the ship was one of the best things to do to not scare people too much.
Once on the ship Setsuka noticed the lion and the eccentric ninja who both couldn’t be missed. She then saluted the ninja and the lion with a polite bow.
"Konnichiwa, we already met but I don’t remember if you knew my name. I’m Setsuka. Nice to meet you both. Thank you for the invitation. "

The snake on her shoulders spoke up once they were aboard scoffing at how some of the humans on the streets and simply stated 'why do you humanss look at usss sssnakess and think we will bite them are human'sss not jussst the mossst judgemental of creaturesss.' The lion simply chuckles at the snake and soon nods to the woman before laying down and the snake slithered down to Setsukas arm and nods to the ninja and just hisses at the lion the ninja just states "tis Yoshimitsu who makes your acquaintance. Now before we begin you may ask one question before we sail we have time to wait as we are expecting two others with us on this journey you see these two should be quite valuable assets upon the sea so I am to believe."

Having also felt the judgment of humans all her life, Setsuka thought that Desire was right and she sympathized with the snake. She then smiled at Yoshimitsu and asked him one question as he said:
"How have you met Legion?"
She had many questions about Legion, about the ninja, about the trip, about so many things but since he said one, she should begin by one.

Yoshimitsu began to speak calmly as the other two were loading themselves onto the ship "Well I met Legion a year ago one of his bodies wound up near our old camp and had helped us recover multiple kinds of treasure." Yoshimitsu continued to ramble on. The ninja clearly having had lots of time on his hands.
Yoshimitsu offered a hand 'might i take any luggage ye be bringing down to the hold Malady." The eccentric ninja being polite as a start off. His unusual style was a mix of samurai and ninja it was uncertain why the Manji clan style of Ninjutsu required such oddities or if it was just Yoshimitsu who prefered it this way.
Desire would coil slightly about Setsukas shoulders sliding herself low and wrapping about her waist like a belt before raising her head up to gaze into Setsuka's eyes the snake swaying in a hypnotic way "Sssety why dont we relaxxx for a little while it looks like we may be having ourssselves a long journy to get to know eachother."

'might i take any luggage ye be bringing down to the hold Malady."
Setsuka replied with a smile.
"Arigato, Yoshimitsu-san, that is very gallant of you."
And Setsuka handed him her bag.
Then Desire spoke:
"Sssety why dont we relaxxx for a little while it looks like we may be having ourssselves a long journy to get to know eachother."
"Indeed."
Setsuka thought she still had a lot of questions but as Desire said, they would have time on the journey. But she had one right now for the ninja/samurai.
"How much time will it take to reach that island?"

Yoshimitsu returns from putting her bag in the hold for the time and his strange mask seemed to have eyes that moved about watching the woman and the snake. The Lion remained on its own and looking out on the village harbor.
Desire would softly lets her tounge as she looks towards the samurai ninja as she gave a charming little snake smile. Yoshimitsu calmly spoke "should be at best a month or three we may make stops on the way for resupply I do believe." The strange man giving the roughest estimate. Desire smiles and curls around the womans waist slowly then crawls back onto her shoulders weaving through her hair playfully.
