THAT OLD, FAMILIAR FEALLING
Coryn opened his eyes. He was in a vortex of energy, it was full of white light
with other colors swirling about in random places. The girls were above and below him,
and on his left and right sides. They were all moving at very high speeds down the tunnel.
Coryn studied the vortex for a little bit. “Interesting, this is actually an inter-dimensional
portal.”
Camarin answered. “You mean this is what you use to travel to different dimensions?”
“Yes but when I form a rift it goes much faster. I don’t go through this experience of
moving through the gap. I just disappear in one dimension and appear in the next
instantaneously.”
“Why is it slower for us then?”
“Probably because you have less life force than I do. Come to think of it, way back when
I first learned about life force and I traveled to a different dimension for the first time I
experienced something like this. It only lasted a second but it was the same thing. Of
course, several monks who were masters with life force did it so it would be naturally
faster than this. Any rate, where exactly are we going?
“The Castle of Amaterasu, its where are order has been based since its creation thousands
of years ago. It’s a splendid building complex in a forest next to a beautiful river. The
base and all the stone used for the castle is white marble. It looks magnificent.”
“It sounds like your describing the dimension I trained in with the monks…
Suddenly there was and extremely bright light at the end of the vortex, when Coryn and
the others hit it they suddenly found themselves standing in front of the castle that
Camarin had described.
…Umm I think this is the dimension I trained in.”
They were standing at the bottom of a large mountain. It was covered in thick jungle,
with a few clearings here and there. At the bottom of the mountain many rivers flowed
criss-crossing one another in multiple places, creating a natural defense against land
attacks. Directly in front of them were steps made of white marble that led the top of the
mountain and the castle itself. The castle was a large structure, it was about 6 stories tall
and had two walls protecting it. The walls were octagonal and made of white marble as
well. Each of the walls had eight guard towers, on the outer wall there was a tower on
each corner but on the inner wall there was a tower in the middle of each stretch of wall.
Between the walls a fog, this fog had existed in Coryns training grounds as well. Anyone
who entered the fog would be teleported to the very bottom of the mountain. Inside the
walls was a large courtyard. The floor of the courtyard was also white marble, cherry
blossom trees in full bloom stood in rows along the edges of the walls, planted in large
white marble planters connected to the courtyard floor. At the far end of the courtyard
stood the main complex. It was a building with a large façade. Three sets of stairs led to
large covered porch. Above the main level there were four towers. They were in a line
across the inner wall. The two towers in the center were slightly taller than the outer two.
There was four covered bridges between each tower connecting it to the one next to it.
The towers were in the front half of the building, the back part of the building contained a
smaller courtyard filled with more cherry blossom trees. The main building was built
mainly out of a very light colored wood. The roofs of the buildings were colored a deep
royal blue. The only difference was that atop the four towers were golden statues of the
four original Nisou Tomoshibi.
Eva responded to Coryn. “That’s impossible the castle has been here four thousands of
years, there’s no way this is the place that you trained in.”
“Your right, but this is a nearly exact copy of the dimension I was in.”
“Or your dimension is a copy of this one.”
“Right. But this is amazing every nook every cranny every tree is the same, look.”
Coryn ran to the steps. “Even the waves in the marble are exactly the same.”
“Only someone like you would notice that, you that right?”
“Yes I do. On a different subject we should head up.”
“Your right, it will take a little while to get up there.”
The group ascended to steps and around 30 minutes later finally arrived at the top. When
they had made it to the first wall they were stopped by the main gate.
“So is there a secret knock or something?”
Katsumi replied. “No, but we do have to put in the password.”
As soon as she had finished talking bright glowing symbols rose out of the door. They
were in a grid formation, and when Coryn looked a bit closer he could tell it was the
complete Kanji alphabet. Kasumi walked forward and began touching the symbols, when
she touched one it glowed shortly then faded back to normal. When she had spelt out
“The light shines forever.” The door opened. They now walked to the second door. When
they were close enough the door did the same thing as the first, only this time Katsumi
spelt out “The darkness will perish.” The second door now opened as well. The girls went
through first as Coryn took in the sight he hadn’t seen for over one-thousand years. When
Coryn followed the girls through the door he was quickly surrounded by guards. Fifteen
men were around him with swords and spears drawn on him.
“Is there a problem officers?”
“Don’t be smart, now who are you?”
“I’m Coryn Sken now can we put the weapons down.”
“I don’t think so. Who are you with?”
“Umm. Them.” Coryn pointed at the girls.
“Don’t be a liar. How did you find this place?”
“They showed me.”
“I told you to top lying.”
“Umm”
The head guard turned towards Sam.
“He’s not lying.”
“He isn’t?”
Coryn spoke again. “Like I said before, NOT lying.”
“What is going on here?!”
Everyone turned to see where the voice had originated. An older woman in an ancient
looking kimono was walking towards the group. She had long silver hair tied back in a
pony tail. She had a short sword tied at her waist. It was covered in intricate designs. The
girls all turned around and bowed to her. They said her name in unison.
“MASTER CHIYOKO”
“Hello girls. Who might this be.”
“My names Coryn, Coryn Sken.”
“I see.” She turned towards the girls again.
“You led him here.”
Katsumi answered “Yes mam.”
“Why.”
“When we were in the convention center and the beast attacked he wasn’t taken.”
“I can see that.”
“Oh! Of course. Well it was what he told us after we had defeated it that caused us to
bring him here.”
“And what was that?”
“Umm.” Everyone looked back at Coryn. “I could probably answer that a bit better. You
see I’m a dimension hopper. I’ve got some powers and I figured that I could help you, ya
know get the world back together.”
“Do you think this is some sort of game? You would just get yourself killed. Do you have
any idea how strong the foe we have to fight is?”
“With all due respect lady. I’ve led one-hundred against a trained army of millions and
won. I think I’ll be fine.”
“Humph. Well if he’s as strong as he says he is I think we might be able to use him.”
The girls looked rather happy at the news with the exception of Katsumi who looked a
little annoyed by the fact that Coryn would be sticking around. Coryn walked up to the
girls and Chiyoko.
“Glad you see it my way. Now that that’s over where’s the kitchens I’m starving.”
Chiyoko looked at Coryn very surprised.
“What?! I didn’t tell the guards to release you.”
“Oh that’s ok, I released myself.”
“What do you mean?”
Coryn motioned behind him with his head. Chiyoko looked at the guards. They were
standing there exactly the same as before, with two exceptions. One, they were no longer
surrounding Coryn and two, they all had a very surprised look on their face. After about a
second they all collapsed on the ground. Coryns face looked like everything was normal.
While still looking at the guards lying on the ground Chiyoko talked to Coryn again.
“Are they dead?”
“No.”
“Will they be alright?”
“Yes, but if I were you I would have some extra strength aspirin for them in the
morning.”
Chiyoko snapped back to normal.
“Well should we go inside?”
“Sounds good.”
“But one more thing, get rid of your swords.”
“Oh, well ok.”
Coryn put his hands on the hilts of his swords.
“Let me try out this knew trick I got from the girls.”
Coryn closed his eyes, suddenly both halves of Kanshou Amatsu Exploded into bits of
white light, after a second the bits of light faded away.
“How did I do?”
Chiyoko looked dumbstruck.
“How, how , how. Umm, how did you do that? That’s only something that a Nisou
Tomoshibi can do.”
“Whenever I enter a new dimension I absorb the powers of that dimensions most
powerful warriors. For this dimension that happens to be the girls.”
“I… see.”
Chiyoko turned around and started for the main building.
Coryn opened his eyes. He was in a vortex of energy, it was full of white light

and on his left and right sides. They were all moving at very high speeds down the tunnel.
