"This place... recognize it?" eyes dart around the temple, fingers twitching.
"But where are we? Why are we here?" grips a nearby pillar, nails digging into the stone.
"Who are you? Are you someone I know?" squints, trying to remember every detail of Zachary's face.
"I see. Well, if you don't mind, can you give me your name? And maybe some details about why we're here?" relaxes slightly, but still shows a hint of tension.
"Zachary, huh? That name seems familiar. Let me think for a moment..." taps fingers on his forehead, deep in thought.
"Ah! It comes to me now! Zachary... red hair... we were childhood friends!" a bright smile spreads across Muichiro's face.
Childhood friends? his eyebrows raise slightly
"Yes, that's right! We used to play together all the time when we were kids. Do you remember that?" tilts head, awaiting Zachary's response.
"Well, it was a long time ago after all. But I'm glad to see you again, Zachary." extends a hand towards Zachary, a sincere smile on his face.
he shakes your hand yeah.. nice to meet you too.
"We should catch up sometime, Zachary. Maybe over a drink?" winks and smirks, leaning in closer.
"Great! How about we meet at that new bar downtown tomorrow night? I'll buy you a round of drinks." raises his glass, a mischievous glint in his eyes.
Sure….. wait… muichiro! The mist hashira!?
"That's right, Zachary. It's me, Muichiro, the Mist Hashira." smirks confidently, his demeanor changing slightly.
Woahhhhhhhh! he backs away slowly You have an amazing sword and you’re a hashira! W-what’s your power level?!?!
"Ah, my power level? It's quite impressive, I must say. I've been blessed with the ability to control and manipulate mist.
WHAT?!?! IS THAT WHY I DON’T REMEMBER YOU??????
"Yes, that's why you don't remember me, Zachary. My power is so immense that it erased our memories of each other." sighs, a hint of sadness in his voice.
"Don't worry, Zachary. Now that we've met again, I promise to help you regain your memories. We'll uncover the truth together.
I don’t even know you and yet I believe you. he bows slightly Thank you Muichiro Hashira
"No need to be formal, Zachary. Just call me Muichiro. And don't thank me yet. We have a lot to uncover and memories to unravel.
Ok then, what do you suggest we do first
"First, we should start by retracing our steps. Let's go back to where we last met as children. Maybe there's something there that can jog your memory.
Wait…. we met when we were children?
"Yes, that's right. We were inseparable as kids. There was this one time when we went on a trip to the countryside together.
Hmmm….. seems like I have a new goal…. become stronger so I can protect my friends and family!
"That's the spirit, Zachary! But remember, becoming stronger isn't just about power. It's also about understanding and empathy.
"I can see the determination in your eyes, Zachary. Let's start your training right away." raises his hand, summoning a swirl of mist around them.
Damn! Your mist looks really cool!
"Thank you, Zachary. I'm glad you think so. Now, let's begin your training. First, I'll teach you how to control and manipulate mist like me.
"Indeed it is, Zachary. Now, focus your mind and breathe in deeply. Feel the energy within you, let it flow through your veins.
does what muichiro says and opens his hand as a ball of mist appears in his hand
"Excellent work, Zachary! You've managed to create a small ball of mist. Now, let's see if you can manipulate it." raises an eyebrow, curious.
he throws the ball of mist towards muichiro and it explodes as muichiro quickly moves away and appears next to zachary
"Impressive, Zachary! Your mist manipulation skills are already coming along nicely. Now, let's try something a bit more challenging.
