Something Old

 

Rather predictably, the village hidden within the snow had few defenses beyond an inhospitable climate and its location, being tucked away in the mountains which made approach generally difficult. Certainly no army could safely traverse the long distances to meet the village head on and, even could they, those masses would find great difficulty in engaging the defenders. However, for a seasoned traveler - ninja or otherwise - one had fewer issues.

Jae arrived in such a manner, alone and wrapped up in thick traveling clothing, though still sporting his spear and shield for what was to come. The place had no walls and the guards either didn't notice him, didn't care, or didn't exist. In any capacity, he did not mind. He strolled up through the village to a central location which he had to assume housed the ruling man or woman, and walked in.

Shortly after, he walked out of that same house holding a hat with the symbol for snow on it which he took with him on his journeys.
