So high above the world, so high above any known form of civilized society, so high in the skies above the island, the peaks of Mt. Bonsai were truely something wonderous due to the amazing view of the entire island from there. Though while that was a good reason for tourists to come up here, today's fair visitor to this spot was not there to enjoy the view...
Rather, she found what she had been looking for and was now exploring it. What had she found? Fog Temple, a place made in commemoration to a Goddess of Wind, one that shared the name of one of her village's ceremonial elbow blades that she held in her right hand. Lokaluha... Was it's namesake really Luhaloka? The goddess of wind on this realm? She wasn't sure, but it was worth looking into.
Deciding to take a break, she sat on the stone floor of the temple's lobby, indian style and proceeded to meditate to take in what she had found. As she did, a small gust of wind blew through the temple, catching Talim's attention.
"Wind... I as your humble servant come before you, asking for your assistance. I pray that you give me the strength and that you will guide me through the trials to come. I, your humble priestess asks this of you."
As she prayed to the wind god's of her native world, she was more then sure she felt this world's Wind Goddess taking notice of her presence.........
As she continued her prayer, she seemed unaware as a new presence suddenly appeared in the temple.

A few seconds later, it became rather difficult to not notice the disturbance, as it flew backwards, landing a few feet in front of Talim. It was a green, insect-like creature. Around the size of a human, it also walked on two legs and had two scrawny arms. The source of the pain that caused it to screech was a large gash on its stomach.
The worm scrambled up to its feet as yet another new presence wandered into the temple. A figure clad in silver and red armor covering what seemed to be a thick, black body suit. His arm was outstretched and holding an angular gun-like device which was currently aimed at the worm. Tendou Souji merely gave a short, curt, "Move.," to the wind priestess and he proceeded to continue walking forward, shooting at the green creature.
In response, the Worm shed its skin, the outer layer of its self melting off and disappearing into nothing. "Tch..." Tendou continued firing. It would be inconvenient if it had a chance to move.

"!?!?!? H-Hey-!!" Pushed aside, Talim watched as the action continued, looking greatly confused as to what was going on. "What on earth?!"
She watched as the knight continued shooting at the bug, and to be honest, she had no idea what to make of it.
A gust of wind blew on the scene. Talim turned another direction as if better hear a voice only she could hear... She did get a distinct evil aura from the bug... But what of the knight?

For now, Tendou ignored the girl. The worm wasn't attacking her. Eventually, it managed to get out of his line of fire, and the second it did, its body became a blur, moving at speeds faster than what a normal human could perceive. Of course, Tendou Souji was no normal human. He waited a moment before holding his axe out in front of him, moving it there with some force. The next second, there was a worm skewered on his weapon, screeching in pain. Kamen Rider Kabuto reached towards his belt, grabbing the horn of the beetle-like device on it and pulling it back gently. The silver parts of his armor expanded, coming slightly off of him, gaps appearing everywhere. Tendou pulled the horn back all the way. "Cast off." The belt spoke in a distorted, technological voice. "CAST OFF." The armor exploded off of him, revealing a streamlined suit of red armor underneath. The bits of armor that had been removed flew at the Worm at close range, all of them managing to strike him before falling to the floor, disappearing. It caused the worm to stumble backwards. A horn rotated itself upwards, planting itself onto Kabuto's face. "CHANGE BEETLE." Tendou proceeded to push a button on the side of his belt. "CLOCK UP."A second passed in a blur, but for Tendou, it was a few minutes. After that single second, Kabuto and the worm were in entirely different places, now a few meters away from Talim. Kabuto was facing away from the worm. The worm then exploded in a burst of green flame. |

The Wind Priestess could only look on in awe as the knight continued slaying these weird looking bugs left and right. Pushing herself to her feet, she looked on in surprise. She supposed if this man was fighting off beings that had an evil aura, he wasn't really that bad a guy... But still, it was tough to make a proper asessment. Just because he didn't have an evil aura about him, that didn't mean he couldn't be questionable.
The finale left the girl breathless, incapable of taking in what she just saw. That thing moved around at such speeds even she had trouble seeing it with the wind's help. And this knight took out the beast as if it was nothing... Less then that even.
"Who... Who are you?"

Tendou returned to his normal, calm standing position, not even looking back at the explosion that had just taken place behind him. Dramatically staring forward for a moment, his gaze turned towards Talim once she asked her question. The light-blue compound eyes of the Kabuto rider system were expressionless as they merely watched her for a moment. Tendou slowly reached towards his belt again, fingers grasping the Kabuto Zecter before pulling it off. He carelessly tossed it over his shoulder, and the bio-mechanical beetle flew off into the distance.
Tendou appeared completely calm and unperturbed by the fact that he had just turned into a red beetle man and blown up a green monster thing. His arm extended upwards, and a single finger was raised, pointing towards the sun. Tendou looked upwards as well.
"Grandma said this: Walking the path of heaven and ruling over all..." His gaze shifted downwards, back to Talim. "My name is Tendou Souji." Actually, since everyone spoke english here, it was Souji Tendou. But he really didn't care. He lowered his arm. "Where is this place?"

Talim looked a tad confused at the knight's introduction. Sure she had heard similarly noble greetings during the time of the Europeans closing in on her little world in the Phillipines, but even she had to admit that introduction was... Out there...
After a moment, she took a breath. "Y-... You're in the Wind Temple atop Mt. Bonsai, sir..." She lowered her head... A thought crossing her, she bowed to the knight. "Thank you for your assistance. I have no doubt if I had to face that bug alone I would not have stood a chance. Even with the guidance of the wind."

"Wind temple...?" He looked about, studying the architecture of the place. Tendou was an expert in architecture, as he was in almost all things, and even he had to admit that the place was built beautifully. He stood there for a moment, taking a deep breath of the gentle breeze. He heard Talim's thanks, but said nothing immediately. A couple seconds later, he spoke.
"Grandma said this as well: If you receive a little kindness, give them a large serving." He looked up at the temple. "The wind once helped me in a tight situation. It is only fitting that I save it from the worms."

....... That REALLY got Talim interested in the newcomer.
As she lifted back up from her bow, she looked to the man curiously. "Excuse me? Sir... Are you able to talk to the wind as well?" The notion sounded a tad silly, honestly. As far as she knew, she was the last priestess of the wind, and there wasn't anyone else around that knew how to talk to the wind itself.

Tendou looked at Talim. What an odd question. This one seemed rather unique. Maybe she could be one of the chosen ones...? "The wind?" In terms of Talim's idea of literally communicating with the wind, Tendou couldn't talk to the wind. He did, however, have a big ego. "Everything in nature has a voice. Only those who pause to listen will understand."
Tendou crossed his arms, looking the temple over once again. He was curious about this woman now. "What is your job here?"

Talim thought about ways to answer the man's question; how should she answer? Deciding to be truthful, she shook her head. "Truthfully good sir, I do not work here. I am here investigating a matter of personal importance to me." She lifted the tonfa weapon on her right arm. "This temple's ancient name is similar to my weapon Lokaluha, I was here to investigate the connection."
She looked around the temple a moment. "This temple somewhat reminds me of the temple back in my home in the Phillipines, as I've come to see." She nods a bit. "While I have no job here, back home, and even here, I am the known as the Priestess of the Wind. I am capable of communicating with the spirits of the wind; communing with nature in all respects."

Oh. She seemed useful. Tendou tilted his head, thinking. He suddenly looked up when what seemed like a robot bee flew into the room. It circled around both of them a few times before settling on Tendou's shoulder. He looked at Thebee Zecter, blinking, before looking back to Talim. "TheBee seems interested in you.
Would you consider yourself a selfless person?"

Talim seemed a tad confused at the question. Why would he be curious about that? She blushed a bit. "W-well... I... I have done my fair share of work for other people, and I have healed a fair amount of souls." She smiled fondly at a few of the memories. "But... Why would you want to know this?"

Tendou Souji was pretty awesome. He could turn into a Kamen Rider. He defended the innocent. He was a fabulous chef. He had a great deal of positive qualities. Helpful, though? That certainly wasn't one of them. He proceeded to answer her question with another question.
"If there was a great evil threatening the world, would you be able to stand by and watch? Or would you help?" TheBee Zecter, still on Tendou's shoulder, clicked and beeped a few times.

Talim nodded her head with minimal hesitation. "Th-there was an evil sword back on my world, that once threatened to throw the world off balance. The winds themselves cried out in pain due to it." She looked down. "I was not the one that banished the sword, but I certainly did what I could to heal the winds and heal those I had met on my travels."
As she answered, her eyes were caught on the curious little bee creature on Tendou's shoulder. "Um... Sir? If you do not mind me asking... What exactly is that... thing?"
