Ul'dah was alight with celebration of the Moonfire Faire. Countless people ran through the streets and celebrated a time when there could be some peace, if only for a little while. Mitsune watched them enviously as he was not within the city for joyous reasons. He was closing in on one of his targets and was stocking up provisions before heading out into Thanalan. He had already spent the day with his friend Kihta prior and did not want to waste anymore time.
Mitsune was able to pinpoint the location of where Marmraam was located. They were good friends, spending time drinking and partaking in merriment. That was until he was left to die by the very same person. The image of Oldrid, Marmraam, and Hild walking away without a care was still burning brightly within his mind. It was time for him to put an end to another old colleague.
Marmraam was still doing mercenary contracts and had a business on the side. With a help of a couple of a few goons, they went about plundering, smuggling, and killing anyone unfortunate enough to get in their way. The Marmraam received the name "Brual Tide" for a good reason. He was not only a brute, but also an extremely powerful and gifted warrior. It was a reason Mitsune wanted to be more than prepared to take on the seasoned veteran.
He tracked them down to a mining operation that they were currently ransacking. While Marmraam was on look out, he had his lackeys dig up and sift through the debris to find any valuable minerals or gems. Every now and then their complaints were quelled by Marmraam's threats. The Brutal Tide was growing impatient with the lack of valuables being found and he became infuriated. He stomped around in an angry pace, snarling and cursing at everyone and everything in existence.
Mitsune in the meantime was making his way to the mine, hoping to catch Marmraam before he and his entourage were able to sleek away into the desert night. The sight inside was a beautiful one. Elaborate bright crystals of amber and cerulean sprouted everywhere like roots and eye catching waterfalls fell into waterways that led to the desert. He carefully scanned the multiple walkways that arched over the ground, attempting to locate his old 'friend'. After hearing some voices down below, he rushed down one of the bridges leading for a dig area full of light.
As the dark knight ran down, weapon drawn, a huge roegadyn slowly walked to the natural bridge to meet him halfway. His massive plate armor clanked together as he slowly and confidently walked up to Mitsune. He cracked a smiled, a massive scar ran along his face starting from his mouth and his bright blue eyes glowed like fiery embers. Mitsune knew that this was Marmraam, the Brutal Tide.
He grinned as he looked to Mitsune and held out his arms, "Well, holy shit. Hello Mits..."
