Shyvana looked up at the temple, she had been pointed towards this temple by some citizens down the road. It had been a long walk, she didn't mind walking as she found it soothing and allowed her to think, but the jungles of Ionia made her doubt herself. It had been warm, rough terrain and despite the tall trees that reached high up into the sky, the sun managed to cast its light upon her. The bamboo trees she had encountered had provided little to none protection against the gazing sun, Shyvana liked the sun, but when you walked through thick jungles it was just annoying.
The Half-Dragon looked around the outside of the temple, it seemed rather empty when you just glanced around but she knew who lived inside, or was said to live inside. Shyvana had two reasons to visit Ionia, or three kind of, first was she wanted to see if the Kinkou had any archives that recorded citizens and their names. If she was lucky, they might have, otherwise, she had other reasons to speak with them.
The armor clad Half-Dragon stepped closer towards the temple, all Shyvana had with her was two bags, one which held her gauntlets and the other who held some basic supplies and seasoning. Hunting in Ionia was different from Demacia, she found the creatures not as scared and cowardly as the animals that roamed the forests of Demacia.
Shyvana began to slowly walk up the steps of the temple and found it as silent as it had been when she stood outside. She found it rather odd, but these 'ninjas' were supposed to be silent so she guessed that they did what they were trained to do. Slowly the Half-Dragon entered the temple and stood still as she glanced around for anyone who might watch her from a distance.
Each step she took brought her further into the temple, yet she had not seen anyone, perhaps it was abandoned? It was possible, but she couldn't shake off the feeling that someone was observing her.

She was not wrong that someone was indeed watching her, but it was not the Kinkou this time. From the forests a pair of feral eyes watched her ascend the steps. When she entered the temple, Shyvana would hear the low rumble of thunder from behind her. If, and when, she looked, the half-dragon would see Udyr marching up the steps.
The proof that the state is a creation of nature and prior to the individual is that the individual, when isolated, is not self-sufficing; and therefore he is like a part in relation to the whole. But he who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god.

If the letters sent out were carried with swift haste and diligence as they were planned, then this war of subterfuge and shadow shall commence, but it was the most peculiar of timing...
Demacian figures spotted on their terrace, the azure ninja called off the messengers, the current situation wouldn't allow him to slip these scouts by without attracting the attention of the advisory board and as much as they have to deal with the current political and external turmoil, the last thing that should be thrown into the fray is the remaining factor.
The observers made a note of the figure that was to appear treading up the stone pavement steps. scaled armor and a look of relentlessness. Only one individual that he holds knowledge of would match such description, but what is the Half-Dragon doing in Ionia? Lest it be at his temple.
The over complication of the matter arrives when the Spirit Walker appeared, the marching of firm footwork up the same steps that a true animal have walked on seconds ago. The question is if he should bear witness or if he should make his presence known, that is, if Udyr haven't already spotted him.
"You come at a time of unwelcome tidings."
The azure ninja chose to dissipate from the shadows, if they sought his audience, then it seems there is no escaping obligation.

Shyvana set down her bag as she looked around the temple on the inside, it was rather neat looking and clean. Shyvana had always liked Ionian culture even when it came to their buildings there was something special about them that interested her. Silently she turned her head as she heard some low rumbling from behind her, seeing the Spirit Walker there was odd, he wasn't Kinkou from what Shyvana knew and he was famous for being both stubborn and fierce when it came to fighting, so she knew if it came down to fighting he'd put up a fight.
However her attention was soon caught once more as she heard a voice coming from the side. Looking at the source she saw a familiar sight. Shen. The person she had been looking for even. "Are you implying I'm not welcomed here, Shen?" Shyvana asked and looked at him. "I've come here to speak with you, and Udyr as well, which made this trip a whole lot shorter now as he appeared here as well, I doubt I have to remind you of who I am?" She asked and tilted her head, her gaze shifting from Udyr to Shen.

As if time itself is against them, With ideas, plans, strategies and tactical espionage the maelstrom of undeniable power thirst is to be contained. This was to be their repayment to the land that bore witness to their origin, their beginning. To stop this land from falling into the hands of disorder. Such is a balance of benefits, but such is not a balance of peace and tranquility.
This was originally just a state side conflict, a war of methods, ideology, utilization and a war between clans that falls under the surveillance and boundaries of the Ionian state. But this became a viable excuse for the opportunists to sink their talons into this land once more. Despite all the diplomacy and potential achievements that the black crow could foster, what he intends to do will surely aggravate the Noxians to take military action. The blood curdling screams will be heard once more and the cries of innocent will linger.
Such overarching dictatorship from their iron fists is what triggers such response, there can be no balance, no equilibrium achieved under the wings of one calculative tactician and as the sands starts to flow from the hourglass, a response is aching to be found and given.
Perhaps those were better off as afterthoughts. The azure ninja gestured for the Half-Dragon with both of his arms, one before his torso another pointing into the inner chamber of the Kinkou's residence.
"The current political climate is unstable, different city state visitors will only become fuel to the brightening fire."
Shen paused before continuing on with his presumption, if she also seeks Udyr...
"But it seems you are not here under city state business."

Udyr would give Shyvana a cursory glance when she mentioned his name and her desire to seek him. She was looking for him? Udyr's attention swerved to Shen as he grunted, "We are here because we had desire to speak to you about certain matters. Although..." His nose twitched as he took inhaled deeply, taking in every scent. "Why do you seek both Shen and we? Most seek him and the Kinkou, not us."
The proof that the state is a creation of nature and prior to the individual is that the individual, when isolated, is not self-sufficing; and therefore he is like a part in relation to the whole. But he who is unable to live in society, or who has no need because he is sufficient for himself, must be either a beast or a god.

Re-evaluation, The azure ninja had originally believed that The Spirit Walker sought out the Half Dragon, for purposes of their own. Not that he would forbade any guest or visitor from entering his realm, for that is simply the common courtesy deserved by all but his enemies. Following that ideology, all the Eye of Twilight have to do when he is required to accommodate, is to simply provide those individual with a space that is accommodating.
The ninja gave a slight bow to Udyr and once again beckons for his guests to discuss with the realm of his dormitory, such period of conflict should be entitled to the most necessary procedures of caution.
"Is it better for the sake of the conversation to hold it at another time, Spirit Walker? Or is it okay to not withhold such information from our Demacian visitor?"
Shen held the inquiry privately, while the Half Dragon is still setting down her bag.
