Maru looked at the beautiful gun in his hands and felt excited from what he was planning on doing next. A lot of people were pretty scares to come out to the dark part of the Ancient Forest, there had been rumors of weird creatures lurking about within this forest. Some things sounded like they were supernatural while some things were said to medical experimentations that managed to escape the hospital to flee into this forest. So with all these dangers within this forest, why was Maru here to begin with. Well, there were also rumors that if you go deep within the forest, there was some kind of mystical pond that was said to give weapons the ability to never grow old or rust. Even Puppet weapons were known to never rot or need polishing after taking a dip into this mystic pond. Now his signature weapon was augmented with a lot of things, he even had to take a few attachments to his weapon out so he could master something else but to have a practically indestructible weapon wasn't something he could pass up.
Maru walked through the forest, gazing around at the grim surroundings. He had always loved dark, The Ancient Forest provided a dark atmosphere but the this pond that he was looking for wasn't cursed.. It was holy. Now before he problem with actually going to search for this pond because he really didn't want anything to do with holy chakra. But after some brainwashing manipulation brain control? very strong convincing, how could Maru possibility refuse. After all it was Kawaii and how could his spiritual weapon partner could possibly be wrong? “So… do you think that this thing even exist?” Maru asked, still finding himself wondering deeper into the forest his surroundings getting darker as he traveled deeper into the forest. 'Oh… just have a good feeling it's out here. Call it trusting your gut. It should be hard finding since you know…. The area that we are looking for shimmers with holy chakra right?’
Maru stopped questioning his weapon, going deeper within the forest. Upon heading deeper feel a raindrop on his forehead, it started off as small but then it began pouring out of nowhere. Fearing that the rain would cause his weapon to rust he stopped under a tree, took off his cape and then he began wrapping it around his cape, clutching it close to his chest to keep his weapon from getting wetter than it already was. This rain wasn't the kind of rain you would normally see, the water droplets that fell had a bluish glow to it, he also got the stench of holy chakra which made him more than certain that they were close to the place. Very close from what he could tell. When he journeyed deeper, he could almost feel the heavy holy chakra around him. What was hidden in the dark side of this Forest almost seemed like a gateway to another world. The trees that were once vacant of light began to suddenly light up around him with a ghostly blue color, the leaves almost seemed to glow as he walked passed to make a path for him. Giving him a sense of feeling welcomed, or at least that was how he felt.
He came to a stop when he saw a huge Torii looming over head, it looked to be made entirely of purified chakra. Orbs of light danced in the air like fireflies, the giggling sounds of what he thought were children could be heard and Maru thought he should just turn back. Last time he chased a urban legend, he had his heart stolen and eaten by some weird creature. This could very much be a trap so he just turned around, but his weapon spun him around towards the Torii. ‘Common we are nearly there. Indestructible Weapon remember.’ Maru sighed, the spirit of his weapon began to manifest by using the heavy holy chakra around. Floating towards the gateway to lead Maru who was still just standing there….
