Journeyed to the West
The Dragons have sounded their war horn. I can see them quickly approaching from the open water. If I had known that their target was the Empress of the Isles, I would have acted faster. Let me make up for that. You need a partner to join you. The Shrine won't let you through if you go alone. It won't be easy. We'll be beset by an invasion of Dragons and traitorous Yokai. But, I promise to help you find the Empress, and eradicate your foes.
Talk
I'm eager to see the view of the Moon from the Isles, but not alone. Join me, and we'll test the tea together.
Vacation
The first Emperor of the Yokai Isles, Seiwa, and his younger brother fought alongside Kitsune when a Dragon from the West invaded. Through their unity, Zakhvatchik was slain, and the Great Yokai Spirit blessed Emperor Seiwa's enthronement. Now, the Dragon has seemingly returned from the dead. Rumors are being spread that the Great Yokai Spirit brought them back to life to test my Granddaughter's ability to rule.
Scenery
The Mikoto Shrine is the first of its kind. Legend says that the Great Yokai Spirit gave the brothers his blessing here, and created the regalia of the royal family. At the moment, a magic barrier surrounds the Shrine, and it will only allow entry to those coming in pairs. There are rumors that the Great Yokai Spirit will declare any pair that passes her test to be the new rulers of the Isles, just like Seiwa and Kanmu.
Health
You and I will be keeping an eye on the shore, as well as Haku Village. If you look through a telescope, you'll be able to see Zakhvatchik's army of dragons lurking over the sea. If they try anything, we'll board my ship, and meet our enemies with the Isles' armada. You should keep an eye on the situation on land as well- my men have reported strange activity from both the locals and hostile creatures. I had planned on clearing out the village before your arrival, but the nearby Yokai forced me to delay the evacuation…
Journeyed to the West
The Dragons and the Yokai are plotting to topple Empress Ai No Miko's throne. This Invasion will hand control of the Isles back to the beasts if they break our defenses. Our first priority is to secure the shore. Then, we forge through the forest to find the Empress.
Talk
I wasn't expecting to fight in the war during my vacation, but I did need a reason to stretch.
Commanders
The Yokai and the Dragons are acting with strict organization, led by the strongest of their ranks. Generals are meant to direct from the rear, but these beasts are too hungry for battle. If you see the Dai Tengu and the Long appear, strike them down without hesitation. The enemy's offense will be crippled if you eliminate their leaders, and reward you with their riches. It's what they deserve for selling their home to invaders.
Experience
I have some experience with war and combat, but my swordplay's a bit rusty. Back home…I worked for the governing body. We were in the middle of a conflict with the Taira Shogunate, but I was advised to stay seated. Do I sound disappointed about not being able to fight in a war? In all honesty, combat is the only thing that makes me feel alive these days. I am, however, taking this invasion seriously. The Empress must return safe and sound.
Views
Does the Empress allow the Yokai to thrive on her Isles? Fascinating. There must be a reason she continues to let them roam despite what happened with Kitsune. Yes, many across the sea do know of Chaos, but hoped all that all of the forces in the continent would fall to mutual destruction. They won't lay a finger until Chaos, Shadows, or the like show up on their shores. Even the Avatar of Metal made an edict about leaving Greenguard to its fate.

According to the Head Shrine Maiden we should have tossed over the cliff, Empress Ai No Miko and Lord Baoyu are in a duel with Zakhvatchik at the Shrine. We must press forward and rescue them!

The forest has become a graveyard of Dragons and Yokai, and the way to the Shrine has opened. Take up your blade, friend. We'll approach the Mikoto Shrine as partners, and rescue the Isles from Zakhavatchik!

Stay calm, and take stock of what has happened with a clear mind. Empress Ai No Miko banished herself and Koschei Yaga to the Yokai Realm in order to keep you safe. Do not assume the worst until you see it with your own eyes. All we can do now is wait for the rest of the twelve descendants to arrive. Remember how our foe spoke? They never confirmed nor denied any allegiances. You're smart enough to wait before making any final judgements.

Have you spoken to my - Sorry, my headaches seemed to have returned. Once you've spoken to Baoyu, Haruki, and Yue, I'll be here ready for you. We've scouted as far as we could, and our efforts will bear fruit. We will find Ai No Miko, and save her.
Talk
It's rude to intrude on Ai No Miko's privacy like this, but the Yokai Realm isn't giving us a choice.
Royalty
I am impressed by the Yokai Isles' Emperor and Empresses. Ai No Miko's mother passed away from exhaustion, and Emperor Daisho risked his life for his family and people by going against Lord Kitsune's wishes. I have nothing but respect for them. Your friend, the current Empress, is burdened with two legacies. She is more than worthy of them, but the stress of her duties must rob her of sleep. I'm glad she has a friend like you to support her.
Red Strings
There are red strings all over the ground, dangling from the buildings, and wrapped around the trees. You've seen them, yes? They're Koschei Yaga's, scattered in a way that suggests that there was a chase and a fight. Someone might be helping Ai No Miko. Koschei's red string can't be severed by ordinary means. A powerful or enchanted force would have had to step in to defend the Empress.
Identity
You have secrets, and so do I. When there's time, I'll tell you more about myself. Since Koschei was rude enough to out your identity, it's only fair for me to let you know about mine. I'd just rather have that conversation after we save Ai No Miko. A Dragon, huh? Sacred in some places, and terrors in others. None of that would change how I view you, friend. Hmm, there's a Dragon Temple back home. I'll order some renovations…

You must have a lot on your mind. I know we have a time limit, but take a breather. The Great Yokai Spirit and the Great Dragon of Nature. When there are too many Greats, the word loses its meaning. That's why they go to war. Fear not - there's already been enough warring. This isn't the first time I've met their types. We'll figure this out together, and watch the sun set quietly with two cups of warm tea.

What a surreal sight. I never thought I'd see the path to the next life, but fate will always find a way. My friend, you're a Dragon. Take in the scenery. I doubt people like us will ever tread this trail the usual way. Did you relay my instructions to the Descendants? If so, do us the honor of slicing through Koschei's barrier with the Hanzamune Blade. How interesting. In the hands of a Dragon, the sword will become a Dragonslayer.
