Missions:

Travin had been sitting at the table in the Inn eating his dinner. When he looked at the clock and saw that it was almost time for him to get going. He had been given a mission that he needed to knock out during the night. He required stealth and it would be much easier to get done without the sun hurting the enemy's ability to track who was coming after them. The mission was simply a tower fortress a ways out of the village controlled territory that had taken a few captives and was going to be ransoming them off soon. Travin and a partner were going to infiltrate the tower fortress and take out the targets while rescuing the captives. He didn’t know who his partner was going to be, but he assumed that it was someone that would have some sort of stealth skills to pair with Travins. Holding his hand up to signal that he was done, Jhin would mark it on his tab that he paid every month, and one of the waitresses would walk over and pick up his plate. Travin would stand up and pick up his chair so as not to scratch the cherry hardwood floors and slide the chair back under the table. Giving Jhin a wave and nod as he made his way to the door and out into the open cold air. Travin had been living in the land of snow for a good while now and he was growing accustomed to the cold temperatures, plus he also never went anywhere without his thermal long johns on under his clothing.

Walking down the street wearing his Shell with the hood pulled up, as well his Owl Reikonmen. Most of the people of the village that lived near the Inn or visits it often enough would know that Travin is the shinobi with the Owl Reikonmen. He had gotten to know the people around the Inn quite well, and they had been treating him well. With several of them waving at him as they went to close up the shop for the night. Travin returned all the waves that he had seen as he made his way to his destination. Arriving at the gate Travin would wait for a few minutes for his partner, and upon his arrival Travin would introduce himself as Travin. Before heading out the village Johnny Sinns well aware of their missions and not bothering to stop them for their passes before the duo was outside of the village. Travin would remain mostly silent on the way to the tower fortress after all it was a covert mission, and unnecessary talk could get them caught.

Upon arriving at their destination Travin would make his way to the top of the snowbank laying in the snow on his belly and looking down onto the tower fortress. It was hastily crafted and he wasn’t even sure it should be considered a tower. Granted it did have the right shape and he assumed that was so that they would be able to see what was going on around them. However, it was still made of wood and not completely made of stone, and Travin could tell they were working on turning it into stone. They just hadn’t had enough time to get done with it yet. Leaving the tower to just be a shell of what it would become. Travin thought that it was stupid of them to take prisoners before their fortress was complete, but then again maybe the opportunity was too good to pass up at the time, or someone simply jumped the gun without being told to do it yet. Travin had been in the village long enough now to know how someone well meaning to the plan can actually hurt it, and this could very well be one of those cases.

“I’ll take the east side, you come in from the west, kill everything and we meet in the middle,” Travin would tell his partner. Their only real objection was to deal with the guards and free the prisoners, but this was about as well as it could go if the two of them took everyone in the fortress out then they wouldn’t have to worry about anyone following the prisoners back to the village. Travin made his way down the snow bank after his partner for this mission agreed to the plan. Staying on his belly as he slid down relaying on his Shell and natural coloring to blend into the snow. He was basically invisible out here dressed like he was in all white. Once he was down off the snow bank Travin would remain low and make his way to the tower fortress. He could tell that someone was standing at the top of the wall in front of him due to the shadows of the fire that was near the doorway.

Travin pushed some chakra into the knuckles on both of his hands and bones started to form and grow out from between his knuckles. Like his outfit the bones were also snow white and perfectly blended into the environment. Using the bone claws to stab into the wall and make his way up the wall, Travin would still be as close to the wall as possible to make sure that there was as small of a chance of getting spotted by the guy above him as he could get. It was much harder on his body than using the simple surface walking jutsu, but this would make it harder for them to see him as well. Once Travin had made to the edge of the wall he let out a low whistle, drawing the attention of the man above to come and look down over the edge and once Travin was able to see him the man was able to see Travin’s bone claw coming up and landing under his chin and driving them straight up through his skull killing him instantly and quietly before pulling him off the wall and letting his body fall into the soft snow below. Travin knew that with the current amount of snow falling from the sky that it would only take a few minutes for the body to be mostly covered and almost impossible to see down there.

Now on top of the wall itself Travin opened the door and peeked inside seeing another man. His back was to the door trusting that the guard would at least make a nose if he heard or saw anything. Travin could tell he was warming his hands by the fire, and was trying to get the cold out of his bones. Something that Travin could understand he had done the same for the first few weeks he was in the land of snow as well. This told him that the people they were here to kill were not native to the land of snow and we're here for a reason. What that reason was he didn’t know, and he really didn’t care, as they were all going to die tonight anyway. Travin made his way over to the guy making sure that his shadow stayed behind him as he moved around the room manipulating the lights with his own body. Getting close enough to place the bone claws on his right hand through the back of the man's neck and sever his nerve system preventing him from making a noise as he fell to the ground. Travin would walk out the next door, and be able to see across to the other side of the tower fortress. He would be able to see his partner doing the same thing it appeared, meaning that the tower only had one more door for both of them to clear out before heading down to the prisoners, and taking out the last few men.

Travin opened the next door and noticed that there was no one actually in it. However, there was a doorway at the bottom of some stairs leading into the center of the tower. It was clear that it was the way he needed to go. His bone claws now gone, having fallen back into bone dust as their time limit had been reached. Travin opened the door looking at a hallway leading to another set of stairs going up. He was assuming that it was going to lead to the way that his partner was going. He also saw another set of stairs going further down, and once his partner showed up Travin would lead the way down the second set of stairs going deeper into the tower. By the time they made it to the bottom of the stairs, Travin was sure that they were back on ground level. At the base of the stairs there were no doors, but there was a cell with several people locked inside of it. He assumed that they were the prisoners as it made the most sense, and he could see two people one on each side of the room. The one on Travins side was sitting at a table and eating some kind of food out of a wooden bowl. Travin made a few hand motions to his partner letting him know he was going to take this one out and that he should take out the other.

Once they agreed Travin would silently make his way down the stairs and to the base floor of the tower. A kunai in his hand as he stepped into the room, and with a throw the kunai went through the wooden bowl as the man was picking it up to drink the remaining contents and into the man's head killing him instantly. Assuming his partner didn’t need any help Travin would make his way over to the guy he had just killed and pull the keys off his belt. Before making his way to the cage and unlocking the massive lock on the cage, and let the people out. He would tell them to remain silent but everyone in the place was now dead and to follow them so that they could lead them out of the tower and back to the village. He would then ask his partner if he wanted to take the lead or the rear of the line to make sure nothing got to them. Before they all headed out the village, with Travin agreeing to do what his partner didn’t do.
