It had not been his intention to have so many followers, but now the road was more interesting. They guarded him almost with fanatical devotion as Nosuke followed the road to Nagoto. However the trip was about to take a turn for the worse. Nosuke suddenly stopped along the trail and told his guards to halt as well. He felt something was wrong.
From the forest along the path an arrow flew past, nearly missing the monk. It was then that Nosuke sense the demonic presence. It resided in the woods. A dark laugh emanated from the shadowy forest and came from a man stepping from the tree line.
"Aww, I missed," the strange man said as if immensely disappointed. Nosuke's guards drew their weapons immediately and moved to defend him, but Nosuke stopped them.
"He is possessed by a demon and does not control his actions," Nosuke told them. "I'll handle this."
"But Lord Monk..." One of the guards started before he was cut off.
"No, it is my duty to exorcise demons and restore balance. I must do this alone," Nosuke said as he moved towards the man.
The possessed archer knocked another arrow and drew back to fire, but Nosuke was quicker than threw a sutra charged with spiritual energy at him. It struck the bow and cut the weapon in half. The possessed man was stunned for a moment and then made a move for the knife on his hip. Nosuke had already closed the distance though and stuck a sutra tag on his forehead. A spark of spiritual energy emanated from the tag and the man suddenly went rigid.
"I cast you out demon! Begone!" Nosuke shouted and a whirlwind of dark energy surrounded the man and a loud demonic scream could be heard as the demon was separated from the mans body. Then all was quiet.
Suddenly a group of soldiers emerged from the forest and confronted Nosuke.
"You stopped Takai? You must be strong indeed. We saw you cast out the demon possessing him. I see you already have a considerable amount of men following you. It is no wonder with your abilities. We would join you as well in your bid to unite the land Master Monk," the soldier said.
"But I..." Nosuke attempted to explain, but the man was no longer listening. Instead he was calling the rest of his men from the forest as Nosuke shook his head.
Now it looks as though I am raising an army. What am I to do now? I guess I'll think of what to do as we travel, Nosuke thought to himself.
"Very well. We are traveling to Nagato province's central city. We will arrive shortly. Follow if you like," Nosuke said before turning back towards the road with the rest of his guards. The soldiers did just that and fell into ranks with the rest of the men.

-Admin Note
Please refrain from posting in others threads. You could of simply posted a new thread, in which I would of most likely locked. Which would also make it easier for someone who decided to invade to realize that you had a fort here. Also, the fort is not built seeing as how a 'Keep' requires 800 gold and not 300.
