A person was installed, filling the shelves and filling the various orders planned for the next day. She had brown eyes accompanied by a small red glow, giving a shine effect in the shade. The lady had gray and long hair, which went well with her appearance.
After a little while, a slight thud was heard; the sound was not only deaf, but also small metallic sounds, as if a person were hitting a garbage can.
The old lady stopped in her stride, turning back to the origin. She put pots full of tea leaves, she left her shop.
She noticed a black shadow with horns; the outfit the person was wearing made her recall memories of her previous life. These eyebrows frowned before squatting in the girl. What the lady supposes of being one.
The oldest was a movement of her hand over the entire surface of the shadow, some small black smoke escaping. Closing her eyes, waiting for a response of the action it was, a few seconds ago.
Now the lady had these doubts to conform, she was in front of another oni.
----
The eyes of the transformed oni opened gently, the rays of the sun dazzling her by the occasion. The person stood up, putting his elbows on the materials.
She looked around, feeling a wave of panic invading her.
"Hello," said a voice to the other side.
The one sitting retreated by reflex, looking at her with an uncertain eye.
"Don't be afraid, I'm one of you," the old lady smiled softly as she sat right in front of the mattress "But tell me... How did you get here?" asked the manager tenderly, in a reassuring voice.
The girl looked away, "I don't know..." her voice was hoarse, parched, "I was passing a test of combat... Then... Here it is..." She explained, these arms imprisoning the knees.
Strange... the oni people don't make that kind of choice... She must have an explanation, your answer disturbed the manager who closed her eyes while reflecting on a logical explanation. There were quite a few, but not all of them were consistent with the condition of the lost woman, whose wounds were not visible. On the other hand, the unknown was really lost, which Mystake can remove from the trail of a spy sent.
"May I know your name? I'll give mine first, Mystake."
The one in its original form raised his head, eyebrows rising before frowning, who does not say that it is really trustworthy? It may be an oni too, but I know nothing about her, the redeyes bent slightly, analyzing the person opposite.
There was no evidence that the woman opposite had malicious intentions, or even that she would have a weapon, her hands on her legs.
Finally, after a moment of silence, the youngest broke the calm "(y/n) (l/n)..."
"Delighted to meet you (y/n), if you will, I will show you a power that I master perfectly" spoke Mystake
(y/n) frowned, why would she want to show a power to a perfect stranger? , it troubled the young oni who felt slightly uncomfortable with the scene.
Mystake got up. Her face took a serious face before a black smoke completely surrounded her. Her true form is revealed in broad daylight.
"If you want to go out, even stay in the store or avoid getting caught. You have to control the metamorphosis"
The mouth of (y/n) took a form of O, nodding her head in agreement. She rose in turn close to learning the metamorphosis and different advice of an ancient oni
"Well, I think, I got your attention" the old oni put his hands behind his back so his chest chest was visible "But you'll have to wait until the end of the day, I'm running a store, and so I have to take care of the customers" did she inform before returning to her old lady form
"Okay... But why can't I go out under that guise?" the lost girl wondered.
Silence sets in for a little while.
"The onis are very badly seen in ninjago and could cause the city to panic, which will lead to alert the ninjas," explained Mystake calmly before leaving at the entrance of the tea room.
The other oni wanted to pose one last, but did not have time, the other woman disappearing from her sight.
(Y/n) rises looking at the room in detail. The place is in an old Japanese style, with sliding doors. A handcrafted cabinet of red oak wood is installed in the center of the wall; on the latter, a lamp from the first kingdom is placed, accompanied by a bonsai.
The stranger notices writings in a shelf. She raises an eyebrow, approaching the latter, many are ancient scrolls dating from the war of onis and dragons produced more than half a billion years or less. History has never been the strength of warrior onis, like you.
She takes one of the scrolls and opens it. The writing is neat and understandable before (y/n) begins to read it. Mystake returns and notices the writing in her hands.
"(Y/n) Put the parchment back in its place and right away." she approached the one transforming her hands behind her back.
She looks away, ashamed "Yes, Mystake", the young oni put the parchment in her place without making a fuss.
Mystake looked softly, "One day you will be able to read the writings. So, wait, this is not the time"
The store owner approaches and gives you a strong pat on the shoulder that calms (y/n) but made him tense her muscles. Mystake makes her a sweet smile before leaving the room.
----
A few hours pass, the night has arrived, Mystake has just locked the front door. She faces the person she had welcomed.
"So... Can we start?"
Mystake nods, returning to its original form. The lost girl got up waiting for any order from the elderly, the expression is nervous lest you fail and are criticized incapable.
"First you have to concentrate, clear your mind," the woman began with her hair tied in a bun.
Easy... This is what I can do most easily..., the disciple closes her eyes, emptiing her mind with ease.
Mystake walked around her disciple? If it is so called. Mystake analyzes the whole body, the vision sharpened to any movement.
"Now... Think of a person who might look like you" the lips moved, the eyes of the elderly staring at the movements of (y/n)
Think of a person who might look like me? What does she mean by that? Even an oni did not say such foolish things, (y/n) rolled his eyes inwardly. Before blowing with defeat
"What do you mean by someone who looks like us?"
"You will quickly understand" said calmly Mystake as she noticed, the look of mistrust that gave (y/n) "Now starts again"
(Y/n) grumbled before repeating what your mentor had said.
This lasted way too long, no one pays attention to the time, but when you were done it was almost one in the morning.
"Good night (y/n), we'll start again tomorrow night"
After the elderly woman finally stopped, she left her guest frustrated at not being able to achieve something that looked so easy.
In the days that followed, the two did not stop training, at least one who gave the instructions and the other trying to succeed, but failing each test
This greatly annoyed the young oni. (y/n) had even begun to try alone or even to think of what Mystake meant by: 'Think of another person who might look like you'.
Was it a really unusual sentence for a creature of destruction to come out with such a strange sentence? It is not that the onis are not strange, even the opposite, even any other being living in the sixteen kingdoms.
Now it's been two weeks since she arrived in this unknown kingdom and the girl had not even seen any environment other than the tea shop.
(y/n) was well lost and proved it enormously by the different tone and pitch of voice and the bursts caused by the sound of the bell. A sound still unknown, not so long ago.
While (y/n) was training during the day, something had happened. A humanoid form had distinguished itself, the shadow was much blurred, but you could distinguish different elements, such as (c/h), (h/l), (c/s), etc.
"Wow... What was it?..." she whispered, deciding to wait until Mystake came back to inform her.
This invaded her mind, not stopping to think about this event
--
Mystake returned from his work and saw the troubled face on his disciple "What happened?" asked directly the female who was thousands of years old, even billions.
"Oh... Just that I saw a shadow while I was trying to use the metamorphosis..." informed the oni
Mystake made a slight movement of the head not very perceptible, she cleared her throat before speaking "It is a good way... We will be able to move on to the third stage"
Although they knew each other for two weeks, trust was quickly built between them. Quickly putting at ease (y/n) who had never lived in all of Ninjago. They got to know each other about the little things that the other loved, to know who is, and vice versa, Mystake learning about the past life of (y/n).
(y/n) had already closed her eyes and revived the shadow, patiently waiting for the third stage.
"Think you've always been that shadow, but still be relaxed. It will increase the chances of success," she explained.
After a little while of trouble, a dark cloud surrounded you, making appear a young girl who was, around 17 years old, close to the 18.
(y/n) made a victorious face "I succeeded, didn't I?"
Mystake nods, a little smile in the corner.
"Finally..."
