A body...

Maruze's Soul, now independent from the blade he was contracted with, would have roamed the Dusk village, floating over to Khrona's office. Things had changed since his death... A lot of things. But he still knew where Khrona's office was, it seemed. He floated through the door, hoping Khrona was in.

"... Lord Kage..."

Khrona just so happened to be in his office at this time... Lucky break for him... And that's when he noticed someone was in the room... Or, a soul of someone. It was someone familiar... Khrona opened his eyes to see... And to his amazement, it was Maruze's soul.

"... Maruze? I thought you were dead... Oho, but I wouldn't expect a master samurai like yourself to stay dead, huh? Hahahahaha~. Yeah, so... I'm assuming that you need a body?"

It was remarkable how Khrona could tell the entire story just from his own presence being there... he even deduced that Maruze needed a body. Quite the power he had.

"... Yes, Lord Kage... I am in grave need of a body... Might I ask you to remedy this situation?"

Khrona smiled, happy to have his Osamurai back in business...

"Why soitenly! Nyuk nyuk nyuk nyuk!"

With a flick of the wrist and a wave of the fist, Khrona had instantaneously created a lifeless body for Maruze, looking exactly like it did before.

"You know, if you ever need to, I can give your body special attributes to it, Osamurai..."

Maruze quickly possessed the body, letting his soul fill every inch of it... It was made exactly like his old body. He felt so at home in this body... it was unreal.

"... No thank you, Lord Kage... I prefer to do things in my own style with my own power... Though I shall not forget your gratitude."

Maruze started to walk out of the door, nodding his head out of respect toward Khrona.

"... I am at your service whenever you need me, Lord Kage..."

He opened the door and walked out... It was time now to get a sword.
