[QUOTE="Lichtenhart, post: 412034, member: 761"] Iuchi Yue stands and bows graciously to the new arrivals. "I'm glad you could come, Yuri-san and Kimita-san. Every help you can offer is needed." She sits back and explain the situation to them. "Akahita-sama, the Sword seems to be hiding from a menace, but I'm afraid we don't know much more. We don't think she was touched by this shadow, but we lost her tracks in Scorpion's lands." She takes a sip of tea. "The Naga know indeed a ritual able to cleanse a human from the Taint, but the recipient can't live longer after that." Yue sighs. "I think we all know of the benefits deriving from the tea of jade petals, but an Emperor can't rely on such a solution, it would make him, or her too... vulnerable." "Otosan Uchi could indeed be right place to examine them, thank to the ancestral wards that preserve the city, but maybe the best place to heal them would be a place strong in the Water, or in the Void. Akahita-sama, I think we should leave it to you on this matter." Yue lowers her voice "We have... an untested theory about the Taint. We know Taint can be acquires in many means: being exposed without the protection of jade to the Shadowlands, touching the blood of an oni, practicing maho... We on the other hand know that there are creatures immune to the taint as the brave Nezumi and the wise Naga. We therefore think the Taint is carried in blood. It's when blood is involved that we acquire the Taint, and the different blood of Naga and Nezumi may be what protects them. The secret of a cure may rely on changing the blood of the Tainted to make it more similar to that of a Nezumi.
