Why Should I, a Member of the Shadow Corps, Save the World?

Everyone knows the Shadowkhan: a bunch of shadowy cannon fodder with the spirit of samurai.

And me? I'm just an utterly ordinary ninja among the Shadowkhan.

Then, out of nowhere, the Queen assigned me to collect all the Talismans.

As the Queen's loyal (number one) subordinate (fan), I dropped to one knee on the spot.

For Her Majesty's request, I would gladly brave fire and water, no matter the cost!

It's just that the process of getting the Talismans is a little hard to describe...

Yang Dazai, split from his yin half by the Tiger Talisman: Another day to love life!

His yin half: Another day wanting to kill my other self :)

The Chains of Heaven, awakened by the Rat Talisman's power to bring inanimate things to life, gazed at his best friend: Long time no see, Gil.

Nezuko, restored by the Horse Talisman's healing power: Brother? Where... where am I?

I gripped the Rabbit Talisman in my hand, remembering how the Queen had earnestly lectured me before we parted.

The passion I thought had died in my heart began to burn again.

I get it. The Queen gave me this thing so I could run a marathon first and earn some seed money for the mission ahead!

Shadowkhan Queen: Get lost! It's for transmigrating through time!

I watched Jackie Chan Adventures today. Damn, the Twelve Talismans are such a great premise, but it feels like hardly anyone uses it. Maybe I'll add the Mask arc too once I've caught up on the related lore.

I hope no one's already used this premise...
