Maybe I should've brought someone else, even Yuna would've been better. Walking around with Lily was fine, since I knew her better, as much as I can at least. However I knew little to nothing about Terran. He was always quiet around me.

We arrived at Tokyo Tower, however there wasn't anyone else around. Once we entered the vicinity of the tower, all noise from the outside world immediately went silent.

Terran: "Maybe we should go back, I don't like this"

Lucas: "We just got here, maybe the sound cancellation is just part of the school's magic system. Different Mythology, so they probably have different customs or defenses"

Terran: "Still, I feel like we're being watched"

I looked up at Lily, who was hovering over my shoulder.

Lucas: "See anything?"

Lily: "No, no one human anyways"

Lucas: "I don't sense any souls either. We're alone"

Terran seemed to be preoccupied with something, looking up at the top of the tower.

Lucas: "What's up?"

Terran: "Something's up there"

Lucas: "What?"

Terran: "I can feel the vibrations in the ground to the tower, there's someone walking around up there"

Lucas: "Human?"

Terran: "No, whatever it is, it's big"

Lucas: "Where exactly?"

Terran: "The very top of the tower"

While it was harder in direct sunlight, I formed a large sniper rifle out of shadows and aimed it up at the top of the tower. I looked into the scope and saw something I'd never seen before.

It was a warrior in all blue Japanese armor. It had a demented face mask covering its whole face. Horns protruded from his mask and from the sides of its head. Its long black hair ran all the way down its body, touching the ground.
In his hands, were two large cleavers that were almost as big as me.

Lucas: "What the hell—"

Terran: "Do you think it's a threat?"

Lucas: "Definitely doesn't look welcoming"

Terran: "Let me see it"

I reached into the shadow of my rifle and pulled out a small telescope. I tossed it to him and he looked up at the creature.

Terran: "That's an Oni, one of the most dangerous demons in Japanese Mythology"

I looked over at him.

Lucas: "How did you know that?"

Terran: "I'm a huge Mythology fan, comes with being a Demigod. I know everything from Greek to Japanese to even Mesopotamian"
