Where: Abandoned village + surrounding jungle
What: THERE ARE EXPLOSIONS. And mushrooms.
Rating/Warning: Possible NSFW for gore?

[ it's another muggy, meandering day in the jungle; nothing seems to be out of the ordinary. ]
IN THE VILLAGE
[ if your character is near the center of the village, they'll bear witness to the curious sight of a herd of shuffling mushroom beasts. in terms of threat level, to the experienced hunter they may have ranked low on the scale: slow, lacking an external fang or claw, they seem to be interested only in their endless march forward.
but, if your character is close enough, they may catch sight of a red-haired young man, a manifesto of anger written across his face. one breathless moment, the calm before the storm, and then he hurls a metallic pair of gloves at the closest beast, the gloves trailing arcs of flame.
what may strike your character first is the searing heat, the thrum of the earth below their feet. the whole village is demolished in a moment, the dying cries of the beasts rising above the din. the explosion lasts much longer than it should, the line of mushrooms going up one after another.
if you're too close, you might be torn in two. you might lose a limb, or two, or three. you might go deaf, you might lose your sight. you might lose all your eyelashes, your clothes. maybe the bag of mushrooms you'd collected for dinner is now little more than ash.
keep running. the smoke trails into the air. someone is screaming. the smell of charred meat follows you even after you disappear into the jungle. ]
IN THE SURROUNDING JUNGLE
[ if your character is close enough to the village, they'll feel the blasts, one after the other. the jungle is on fire, quickly spreading. maybe you'll hear the screaming, too; maybe your lungs will fill with smoke. maybe you'll run into one of the last mushroom beasts, fleeing from the explosion only to trigger a lesser one in the depths of the jungle.
it came from the village, didn't it? maybe someone you love was swept up in the explosion.
if you manage to escape the stampede of terrified jungle beasts (some of which may stop to crunch you up as a quick meal as they dash away from the blast), maybe you can venture closer to see what's happened.
or maybe you should get as far away as possible. ]

He... won't be. I'll tell him you two are okay, so he won't be worried. But... Niisama's already hurt. That's why I'm trying to get him to safety.
[Sayo, please specify it's the sword.]
no subject
Then where is he? I don't see him anywhere! I don't want to be mean if he's shy but if he's really in danger, then we need to find him now!
[With that, he placed his hands around his mouth like a megaphone and shouted...!]
Please don't be scared, I know you don't want us to find you but your brother said you're hurt! And I don't want it to get any worse!
no subject
[It's a lot for Sayo to say, to tell a stranger that his brother's vessel is in his arms. His vulnerable, sleeping and damage brother. But this other boy is a child. Human children aren't as bad as the adults.]
So... so we have to take him away from the fire!
no subject
See the both of them staring at Sayo shortly afterwards]
So...your brother is the sword? But how is that possible? He can't be a sword!
[A pause]...Can he?
no subject
He nods.]
Yes... I'm a sword too. We're both spirits.
[Does that help?]
no subject
That's right, his mom always told him it was rude to do that!]
But...how? You can't be a sword and look human too! [Pause] Well, I guess if you're a Digimon you can look like one but still! I never heard that before!
[And yet, despite it being rude, he just couldn’t help but keep on staring at his older brother. This was really weird...and yet cool at the same time!]
no subject
That's because our swords are our real form... and our human bodies are our spirits summoned with a physical form.
[Does it make sense? He assume "Digimon" is a type of creature or spirit. He'd like to explain more, but he's still worried about Kousetsu.]
I can try explaining more once we're safe.
no subject
I don't think I understand but even if you are a sword, you still look pretty human to me! So that still counts as you being human!
[With that, he just blinked at him before his eyes widen!]
O-Oh right, sorry about that! I think we're almost there though, I know there's a place where you can stay! I hope you don't mind that I'm staying with a couple of people though…
But if anyone is saying bad things because you’re swords, you can tell me though! Because that’s just not nice!
no subject
[As a human? Sometimes, being told that still surprises and confused him.]
I don't mind, as long they're good people.
[And that's what important to him. He can't trust a lot of people with his brother's vessel in this state.]
And I don't think anyone said bad things about us so far. ["So far", because humans might start talking about him and his brother.] But they better not say anything bad about my brother.
[His life might be terrible and he spilled blood in the past, but Kousetsu deserves better than this.]
no subject
[Because the last thing she wants right now is a fight after what happened]
But I don't think that would be a problem though! All the people I've met so far have been really nice! I think they'll treat you and your brother really nicely!
[A pause]
If they don't though...? Then...I'll be your friend!
no subject
[Because Sayo doesn't trust people as easily, he's not as easily convinced people can change their minds.]
... I don't mind being your friend. [Takeru get a point in his favour for being a child, instead of an adult.] I'll let you know if you want. If people say bad things.
[Whether it would help is another thing. A brief pause, before Sayo speaks up.] But... what's your name?
no subject
It's not a problem, that's what friends do! And you always have to protect your friends no matter what because that would be mean!
And I got to stand up to bullies anyway!
[But then when he heard him?] Oh right, how rude of me! My name is Takeru Takaishi and this is Patamon! [he said before pointing to said creature on top of his head]
It's really nice to meet you! What's your name?
no subject
I'm Sayo Samonji... and this is my brother, Kousetsu Samonji.
[He looks down at the long sword in his arms, before he gives a nod to Takeru and Pataman.] Niisama can't greet you both right now... but it's nice to meet you.
no subject
[And here he would give his hand out to him but you know, with him holding onto his brother and all]
But that's okay if he can't! I'm just glad that I meet you two! But I think I see something over there! We better hurry for your brother!
[And with that, he quickly grabbed Sayo's hand without thinking and went straight toward a clearing nearby!]
