Tomoe, Warrior Priestess

You set out after Tomoe, the Warrior Priestess as the angel called her. You recognized her outfit and her features marking her as a shrine priestess from Hinamoto. Your actually quite surprised to see a shrine priestess all the way out here away from home, fighting in the Queen's Blade no less. Not only were you curious over what brought her here to the tournament if that's what she's here for, there was the nostalgia of hunting Shrine priestess like you use to back home. To add tons of icing on the cake, you keen eye for detail and your obsessive knowledge of swords, you recognize the maidens weapon to none other than the Kushinawa Katanna, one of the most prized and powerful swords in all the land of Hinamoto. She's just too good to pass up and so you prepare to track her down.

Fortunately you have a good start where to begin, from what you were able to observe she was last in a some kind of tomb-like temple with boobie traps. Thanks to your years of studying and traveling the vast continent for years you deduce it to a pyramid somewhere in the Amaran dessert. Sure your prey looked like she was in trouble and taking location into account your sure that Menace is somehow involved but none that worries you. You know all two well what Shrine priestess are like and your sure something seriously big and terrible is going down at home and if she was able to survive getting as far as she had your quite confident she would survive an old relic and dusty princess of the past, especially with that sword in hand. You get really excited about not only taking her sword but everything else she has to offer, before you calm yourself and focus on the mission like the professional you are.

You look at your map and find the dessert isn't that far from here and should take at least a day and a half to get there, but you suspect that she will be long gone by then, on the other hand perhaps Menace will be available and you can attempt to get some information about your prey, at the risk of becoming one her mind puppet servants of course, but your confident you can handle her. Yet for some reason your eyes are drawn to a special part of the map your wrote in your own writing "Hotspring Canyon", you remember that place, how you discovered it while tracking down a previous victim and marked on your map so you can remember to go back and enjoy for yourself and set up shop for spying and ambush, as your quite sure it would serve the perfect place to scope out and surpirse lovely travelers. You don't know how or why but your instincts tell you she will be there. According to the map she would have to travel over mountains, face stormy winds, trek through a swamp and travel through a tennel system, all frought with perilous dangers. Its bound to take her quit a few days for her to reach, but from the village your residing now you can get thier in half the time and have plenty of time to set up for a well executed sneak attack. There is no doubt in your mind that she will be surely be exhausted by her long perilous journey, and her gaurd will surley be down once she sees the hotsprings and goes to take a soak leaving her weopon and her clothes behind.

Still that also presents some problems, firstly, even when you get there or when she gets there thier is still the chance that neither of you will be alone, considering that is a popular place for travellers who knows it's there or stumble upon it. Second you may be a ninja but you still have some sense of honor, and since she is kin so to speak and a very valuble sword is on the table you want this fight to be special and meaningful, so you'll wind up challenging her after she's rested up, but not without watching her bath of course. Thirdly, all you know is basic local knowledge of her, you don't know why she's here and what she's out to accomplish or anything about her you can use to your advantage as you have learned in the past, your prey are more dangoures the less you know of them, strength and weaknesses alike.
