*Koga, the headstrong and impulsive wolf demon, is experiencing strong surge of energy Helena bestowed on him. The spiritual energy is wild, and body is restless. Koga bursts through the portal, landing squarely in Sesshomaru’s path within the shadowed roots of the World Tree. Sesshomaru, already displeased with Koga’s abruptive arrival is slighly irked, however, he senses Koga’s genuine concern and his connection to the land, something that might prove useful. Koga also knows he is to embark on this journey with him in order to be able to wield a power this strong properly if he is to protect everyone.

This journey would also test more of their diversity. Koga is forced to refine his brashness and adapt to Sesshomaru’s strategic approach. Sesshomaru might, begrudgingly, gain a better appreciation for the value of compassion and loyalty through Koga. Koga also realizes that they are starting at the base of the tree, and can sense a battle along with a miasma coming from nearby. He can tell it’s the same miasma Satan leaves traces of when entering the borderlands. He looks at his brothers, they all seem to have come to the same conclusion.*
So he does have an entry through here! We need to be careful not to fall for the temptations that may be ahead of us!
*As they began to walk forward, the miasma became more of a fog. This is where their mind would be challenged. There was no guarantee that they would all chose the same path here. They had to fight their own inner demons which would either free them or chain them and pull them down towards Gehenna.*
What in the name of the Great Howl…?” *he muttered, his claws digging into the earth.* I didn’t come all this way to be deceived or tricked! Don’t underestimate me! *he glares through the fog noticing his vision and path is becoming clear and growls and dodging the chains that tried to wrap themselves around his legs, he barely dodged the attack until he could clearly see them.* I don’t think so! *He smirks.*

*Ryoga follows Koga through Satou Arcanum as they make their way across it’s desert. The journey won’t be easy. As he approaches Yggdrasil with his brothers, his movements seem to become slower, more deliberate, imbued with a strange gravity. His voice deepens and he can tell his body is larger. Ryoga’s inherent lack of control and his curse make it difficult for him to master this strange new mix of powers and strength he now possesses. He hears his brothers talking, he negates what they say.*

No! Satan can’t enter through here, that’s only his formidable shadow and his menacing chains!
*He was surprised how aware he was of this. He tried to keep his surge of power under control so that he wouldn’t attract the very darkness at the roots of the tree of Yggdrasil. But Ryoga questions whether he’s truly worthy of this power. He wondered if his low self-esteem and fear of causing harm could hinder his progress. Ryoga worries about his terrible sense of direction and how it might still get him lost, leading him and his brothers into dangerous situations.
Doing his best not to get lost he notices that in order to keep up he has to trust his insticts as well as his brother’s energies as they make choices and move through the gigantic roots. Chosing the right path will be a matter of balancing these two very factors. As he struggles through this journey he will learn how to harness untapped potential that lies within even the most flawed individuals. This is Ryoga’s chance to prove himself and overcome his personal demons as he realizes that his inherent stubbornness is being tested to its absolute limit as they navigate through Yggdrasil.*

A strange tremor rips through the Sacred Tree of Inuyassha’s era, carrying with it a chilling echo – a voice that speaks of interconnected worlds and a exploration of balance.

Inuyassha would constantly grapple with his half-demon nature and protecting his family, he’s thrust into a situation far beyond his usual demon-slaying. He’s suspicious of the elements that challenge him to confront all sides of himself at the tree of Yggdrasil and struggles to understand the new dangers. This was not the typical situation or threat where he can’t simply hack and slash at. This was a place where he had to rely on his human, dog and demon instincts to understand not only his surroundings but himself.. Soon he joins his brothers and has to learn to understand their connection to him and how they will work together to overcome the challenges and prophecies surrounding Yggdrasil.

The Trees of Yggdrsil whisper of a prophecie where their world is corrupted and weakened by The Shattered One, but the interpretation is unclear to them. They figure that this is why Helena has been busy enhancing their powers and sending them off to put these to the test. He would perk up his ears as he hears Sesshomaru question the whispering branches but his questions simply create a path of leaves that being to disappear as they hit the ground.

Inuyassha runs through these before they are gone, as he considers these a path to the answers they seek and his brothers follow him. The group wonders if they may have to make difficult choices to save the worlds they guard, potentially sacrificing one to protect the other. Inuyassha has to fight growing darkness within, whispering promises of power and freedom. He wonders if this is a trap or an opportunitey and how will he respond as he goes forward? Inuyassha worries he might give in to the dark but feels his brothers’ behind him inspiring him to keep moving forward.*
