And she was flying.... Yaaaay.... Kussetsu had a bit of sweat appear on his forehead when he realized she was flying without any issues... Anyway he missed the first thing she said besides knowing it was exciting. She then went off with small talk and asked about travel. A lot to process for the man so he decided to ignore the beginning and answer the questions.
"Uh... Four days to Terrac, and then from there one day to Myria. Why?"

“Apparently a hundred years ago we had some sort of spell placed on us where members of our family die and our souls go to a man named Hades. Does that ring any bells for anything that sounds familiar to you?” She breathed. “Also Quake killed Grandma for sure, I heard this from a King Kai by literally traveling to Hell and Back.”
She was partially geeking out over everything and am feeling this huge sense of urgency.

The more she talked the more highly concerned he became. First of all magical curses on the whole family, a magic man taking their souls, and Quake murdered one of theirs just like that.
"Okay I am following, but why are you in such a hurry if it's already been going on for a hundred years? We can handle it, take a breath. Rushing will cause us to make mistakes and dealing with magic we don't want to make any. Let me grab my things and we will head for my ship."
He was trying to calm her, but for him it was really about buying some time to come to terms with some of this. He did t want to discount her experiences or what she was saying... he just wasn't sure how much of it he could believe right now. However, she was family and if she wanted to take down enemies he could do that.

She breathed. “Everyone else we meet is affected… literally everyone. The souls that passed away from Namek’s destruction didn’t make it to any afterlife. People at my Dad’s school, their families, that whole town. Everyone… when they die… they go to some bastard named Hades on Myria.”
“Apparently it’s because of the clan’s Traditions. Anyone we fight or friend becomes our family, or something..?” She clenched her fists. “That alone makes me so mad like what sicko would twist something like that for power like this? How the heck did it even come to pass?”

Kussetsu was almost finished packing as he listened to her again. She was calmer now which was good.
"I don't know ow how, but Inferno might. Our current Clan leader has access to texts and locations the rest of us generally ignore. As for those traditions it's more a Rhosian culture. If we fight the lower joins the clan of the winner or works off a debt. Clanless have no say so if you fight someone without a Clan or aknowledge them as worthy they become your Clan. In the Clan you are family. So for you the tradition is likely attached to your blood."
He spoke before heating his duffle over one shoulder... he thought about it and decided flying may be faster, but he wasn't going to fly very high. He just wanted her to know he understood her feelings.

“Then we should head to Terrac. I need to know more. I want to resolve this and before too many more people fall into this with us.” She would be ready and follow him in flight when he was ready to go.
“I’m pretty sure after this I’ll have a lot of my conscience cleared when I know everyone can rest in peace.” She furrowed her brow. “After that I’d like to pay the Quake Clan a good and hearty visit for destroying what was left of my childhood and hanging the students at my fathers school.”

Kussetsu would make for the ship, and allow Rhona to board while dealing with customs and the departure procedures. It wouldn't take long before they were space bound.

She would follow him and get herself situated on the ship as well.
It dawned on her she was actually going to meet more of the family she only recently knew she had. Grandma didn’t talk much about her past. When Rhona asked she would tell of certain things but not much. Frankly it was hard for Rhona to imaging she was a young girl at one point.
Her heart was already leaping from everything she was already facing. But… she placed a hand over her chest to almost support her ribs. Amidst the bad she was trying to process she was feeling a positive hope and excitement to finally see who she was related to.
“Uncle…” she started as she ship would be in the process of making way. “Tell me what I can expect on Terrac? Will they, the clan I mean,… accept me?”

"Hah!"
Kussetsu laughed a bit.
"First off, your cousins Tempest and Zephyr will likely try to fight you and ignore everything else. Kind of hard headed. Secondly after a show of force I'm sure you will be welcomed with open arms. Besides that you know... Back in the day Inferno had a thing for your Grandma, so don't let his appearance fool you, he stopped aging like a freak of nature, so I'm sure he will like you."

Finally she smiled and began to relax.
“Cousins.” She liked the sound of it. “I’m excited to meet them now. These names are the coolest, like Tempest, Zephyr, Inferno.”
Her mind resolved itself. “Ok let’s hurry to Terrac.

It'd honestly be a few days of space Travel. Kussetsu would challenge Rhona to video games that he came across from his time on Earth. He liked those for some reason.
"It's like a challenge of reflex."
Though it would end all too soon as they arrived on Terrac. Rhona would find the space port rather familiar to Earth, but many people were walking around wearing combat clothes, obviously meant for rough and tumble fist fights. Some had swords though, and Kussetsu pulled a pair of gloves from his pocket and put them on. A howling wolves head adorned it as he grabbed another pair. He would hand them to Rhona.
"I wanted to give these to you when you could finally step foot on the planet. It feels more that way to me. These gloves and that symbol represent our Clan."

She enjoyed the video games. She was not unfamiliar with them but she wasn’t fully practiced either.
Even better when they landed she would stretch the stiffness as she looked around but was surprised when her uncle stopped
He handed her a pair of Gloves she looked at them, then at him.
“That’s…” there was no mistaking it. “You’re kind of sentimental, huh?”
But there was a lot she could say more than that. However she felt then it would by too much. The gloves, she recognized them. Something she accidentally found in an old box under the quilt covered bed of her grandmothers. She also thought to say how she realized she noticed he was just waiting for her. She could have taken years and she wouldn’t have known if he would have waited. Still it seemed he had hope it wouldn’t have taken that long for her to change her mind.

Kussetsu scratched the back of his neck and laughed.
"Just like my traditions, yeah? Anyways..."
He'd try to brush it off, but he was a little red in the face as he led the way towards Wolf Clan territory.
"Right now we are in Laughing Dog territory. They control one of the few space ports and commerce area's. Though I might talk Inferno into trying to do some trade agreements with Earth, that was kind of fun. Though no one really wanted to fight..."

“Suits don’t fight for trades.” Rhona would point out. “Earth is rather divided in many areas and most people don’t actually fight for anything. Worse… when fighting does break out in a general environment it’s usually a power play to get what one wants. It takes a special kind of person who views fighting the way I do.”
“So… wolf, quake, laughing dog… are we in agreement with laughing dog?” She would have the clans she heard of saved in a list but she looked at her hand bc which held up three fingers as if they were written on them.

"There are hundreds of Clans, so it's best just to know the few we interact with. Laughing Dog is on good terms with pretty much everyone, but they are still Rhosian, so we may end up fighting anyways just for a laugh."
Kussetsu would explain before they left the territories edge into the wilderness. It would only be a few hours before they reached Wolf territory. Buildings were crude log cabins or temporary tents made permanent housing. Everyone smiled and nodded when they saw the duo, but didn't step up or cause any issues, seemed they were busy.
"Looks like something is going on..."
