Princess Jasmine was sleeping on the mattress that had been taken from the ship. The ship itself had been burned down to leave no traces after having been gutted for anything that would be of use. Perhaps a bad idea, in retrospect. Considering the massive plume of smoke it had given off. But they were in the middle of no where. It couldn't be that harmful. Two Guards were at her door, one sleeping. And Death Fang was off somewhere. Rajah? He was doing some pest control. There were plenty of animals to eat in the castle. It was sad, really, that he didn't trust her any more. She was foreign. She wasn't even a pony any more.

It was sad to see her son trying to kill her, so she was letting him wander about. She didn't blame him. He couldn't tell that she was her... It was sad though.

Mitsugi had received another contract.

This one was rather odd, if he did say so himself. A guard of all ponies had submitted it. A Guard!

Mitsugi felt a sense of apprehension when he accepted the job; something felt... not right with this one, like something was being hidden from him and that it was incredibly important.

To that end, he simply snuck past the defenses in the castle, having found his way there after some travel. He had accepted the job on his way to Canterlot from the town that he'd picked up the cockatrice contract from, and immediately headed off to take care of this...

It was strange, though, oh so strange...

And with this in mind, he carefully inched the window open, slipping in as silently as he could before walking to take a seat in the darkest corner of the room. Now, all he had to do was wait for her to wake...

Princess Jasmine's ears twitched in hearing a new sound. T'wasn't really his fault. These ears were hyper sensitive. A heartbeat. She could hear the heart beat. She'd dismiss it, but this heartbeat was thicker and heavier than a rodent's. Princess Jasmine opened her eyes, which was weird. Since she had no eyes. But still could see. It was weird. But she could still 'close' her eyes for sleep. She didn't get it. There was a glow in the dark corner, faint with as dark as it was. But still there. Something living.

She was about o speak when something caught in her throat, and she had to hack it up on the floor. She stared at it, the expression on her face hard to read without eyes. She looked clearly upset though. And grossed out. "Kusss Der?" She growled hoarsely.

Mitsugi gave a silent, amused chuckle.

"So, you could tell I was there..." he said, stepping out of the shadows.

"So. This is what has apparently killed Princess Jasmine." Mitsugi looked her up and down, gauging her and judging how much of a threat she would be.

"Well? I want your side of the story. You're obviously possessed of some measure of intelligence. Please. I've all the time in the world."

Killed her? Well… Ugh. She supposed she ought to have been more clear as to how. But then again, she couldn't have been clear. She could barely even talk. Now apparently she was her own murderer. Even so… She would rather be considered her own murderer than it to be known that she was Princess Jasmine. So she nodded when asked if she was the thing that killed Princess Jasmine and gave out a weak pathetic roar. It squeaked. It squeaked. That had been the worst roar in all history. Not like she could really speak anyhow. Or that she knew what she would say. She could speak, but her words were garbled and broken.

Mitsugi didn't even bat an eye at the roar, didn't even so much as blink.

"Well, that certainly wasn't the roar of a beast, so why don't we try using words? I know you're capable of them; you used them when you first spoke."

Mitsugi was rather amused by this creature; it went from intelligent enough to speak- or rather, try to use a language that matched his- and then it returned to a feral half-screech. He chuckled.

"C'mon now. Use your words, my friend..."

Princess Jasmine's ears laid back and she glared at him. There was no eyes to glare at him, but overall… You know those glares you sometimes get? The ones that are soul crushing ones that rob you of your words and make you want to hide? Princess Jasmine still had it, even without her eyes. She did not appreciate the caviler approach he was taking to her. She was royalty. And he was just laughing. There was no joke. It wasn't funny that she couldn't really talk. She was Royalty. It was annoying not to be treated as such.

But he wouldn't know that. He couldn't know that. Foolish commoner. "Gak ashaay." She managed to choke out.

Mitsugi laughed again.

"Unfortunately, I can't do that. You see, a rather strange occurence happened at DAIA the other day." he remarked, standing and slowly stalking forward, his stance casual, though one with a skilled eye could tell that he was prepared to fight.

"A Guard, of all ponies, came in, frantic and out of breath. He demanded that we send someone to destroy a monster... One that had brainwashed some of his comrades and Princess Jasmine's pet tiger. He was too terrified to do it himself, you see, and didn't trust himself to get the job done." Mitsugi was now just out of her reach.

"And you fit the description he gave perfectly."

If only her pet tiger could be brainwashed. It was sad to have her son try and kill her whenever he saw her. He often did have the knack for attacking non-pony creatures unless Princess Jasmine calmed him. But now she didn't look like herself any more. She didn't even smell like herself. So she couldn't calm him.

Princess Jasmine backed up as he came closer to her. "Hak!" She barked out fearfully, her two guards coming in at her cry. They brandished their swords at Mitsugi. "Hands in the air or we will attack." Said one of the guards.

Mitsugi was altogether unphased.

"Attack if you wish; I have no compunction on fighting back. However, this," he gestured at Jasmine, "Is not answering my questions. All I want to know is..."

Mitsugi looked at the creature, locking his eyes calmly, coldly on her empty sockets.

"Why would one of Princess Jasmine's personal guards want you destroyed?"

"Ak keeled 'er af curse." I killed her of course, is what Princess Jasmine had meant to say. He was already under the impression that she had killed herself. So why not go with it? It was better than him knowing the truth. The Guards padded closer to Mitsugi, cautious, and managed to get in between the kirin and the Princess. Princess Jasmine had managed to kind of explain that she didn't want to be known to be alive. And seeing the state she was in? They could kind of understand why. She was completely... Not the same. Not the same at all.

Mitsugi smiled, his lips pressed together in a grim smile.

"Is that so...?" he said.

"If that's truly the case... Then I suppose there's no choice. As per my contract, I am to end your life."

Mitsugi took a more battle ready stance, one foreleg shifted to the front, his hooves staggered and ready to lunge.

Shit. Well… He was facing off two cutiemark specialists in fighting. And he meanwhile had none. The odds were stacked against him. So Princess Jasmine wasn't really worried. They had divine assistance on their side, the gifts of the alicorns themselves. She put her feet up on the pillow and reclined up against the wall, putting her handish things behind her head. Clearly not looking worried. "Traaaak meh." Try me. They had the gods on their side. And based on his blank flank? He didn't even have the Neighponese government on his side.

Mitsugi smiled... And then stood casually.

"I challenge each of you to a duel. If I lose one of two, I will stand down. If I win, you stand aside." he proposed.

Mitsugi was no fool. He knew he would have a difficult time against two at once... But fighting one on one, he knew he had a chance; he had been trained from the moment he could walk to fight, to negotiate, in general he had been groomed to be the heir of House Sorachi. This also meant that he knew how to judge his battles and choose them wisely. If they accepted, he would likely win, if only on the merits of them underestimating him. However, he was confident in his chances fighting them one on one.

After all, he'd fought much worse.

"Naw." Said Princess Jasmine one word. Honor was a moot point anyhow when they had let their princess be attacked by a dragon and turned into this. They had no honor to loose because they had lost it. One of the guards looked at her. "Hak naw haawna." Have no honor. They had no honor, they had no honor to loose. So turning down a duel meant nothing. and with that they two threw themselves at Mitsugi, not holding back. Not even a little bit where they holding back. They, of the many that had been guarding Princess Jasmine, had decided to stay. They had stayed for a reason. They would not hold back.
