Summary
Akira Mori chases down a toxic spirit that he has seen previously, works with informer to try and isolate the toxic elements, and disrupts the spirit.
Background
Akira saw a mangy spirit wolf outside his window in the intro to Gnawer, I Hardly Knew Her. He actively attempts to track down the spirit in Puyallup.
The Chase
Black Samurai catches sight of the spirit once more in Puyallup. Through tracking, astral sight, and a considerable amount of time on the back of his motorcycle, Akira chases the spirit to the neighborhood south of Hart's Lake in Tarislar. He follows the spirit to a cabin in a field at the edge of a large wood. Inside he finds an aura of toxic magic, mage artifacts, and the large mangy wolf spirit growling, but not attacking.
The Cleansing
Black Samurai calls up Sword, who travels to Sam astrally. The massive free spirit confirms the spirit's toxicity, and notes that by destroying any artifacts used in summoning, Sam may be able to interrupt the spirit's toxicity in some way. Sword disappears, and Sam destroys a box that is overwhelmed with the toxic mage's signature. The wolf split into a small, scared spiritual wolf pup and a massive toxic spirit, and combat begins.
The swordsman and the high force toxic spirit clash; neither can find an opening on the other. The spirit stops momentarily to empower their strength to enormous levels, but--as he does this--Sam finally strikes true and disrupts the spirit.
The wolf pup spirit barks from the doorway, bounds out, and jumps on Sam before also fading into the astral.
The Land
Akira Mori decides that the land, tainted by this toxicity, needs to be returned to nature. He finds that the abandoned shack is owned by a small environmental group, who allow him to live on the land and cleanse it for several months. Sam moves his lodge to the area, plants a garden, and begins to demolish the old cabin to rebuild a new structure that doesn't impede the natural growth of the area.
