Chasing Faeries [E|T]

[Deleted]

Now out in the wilderness, Riza had lost sight of her prey. That was fine though. She was well aware now of where it was headed to, and would move to head it off. Creating an owl of ink, she took to the skies and pointed for the forests of the fire country. That would be the first waypoint on her path.

Armed with map and compass, alongside other things in various bags scattered about her person, there was little risk of misdirection, and less of interruption unless some great flying predator were to rear its head.

Once over the land of fire, riza made a banking turn to the right, headed west. Flight was much faster than walking, so she stood to traverse the whole of the distance in only a few hours, where she could finally start to hunt her new research subject.

spurring her inky steed to greater speeds, she passed over the forest to the open grasslands. They were vast, they were empty, and there were no faeries anywhere. Just grass, clouds, and birds. Birds were okay, but she had already studied those. It was the faerie she wanted.

the land of grass spread out before her, just waiting to be exploited.

With the land of grass spreading out farther than the eye could see, if only because of the curvature of the world combined with the limited milage of human vision, Riza drew out her modified vivre card and poured in a small amount of chakra to activate it. If things worked properly the card would point her towards the location of the chuunin exams, where the faeries worked. When or if an indicator appeared, she would follow it in whatever direction seemed most appropriate given the nature of the indication. Her inky steed was swift, but at this height it may be difficult to spot anything subtle, and she may even overshoot it.

Okay, so nothing yet. Not even a blip. That was fine, probably. Riza determined that she just needed to get lower to the ground, rather than remaining at cruising altitudes, and zigzag in wide arcs across the landscape. At least she was flying. Few things Riza enjoyed as much as or more than her research. Flying was one of them. There was such a profound sense of omniscience that came with the broad view offered by staying just below the clouds.

Still, there was business to attend to. She needed her card to point the way. Hopefully it would cooperate sooner rather than later. The deadline was quickly approaching.

No luck

Getting bored and a little annoyed now, Riza continued to make broad sweeps across the countryside. Eventually her little radar thing was bound to do something, at which point she would be able to follow it. Until such time though there really was very little to be done about the situation. Perseverance was the name of the game here. Riza wasn't happy about that. Not even a little bit. Was it so much to ask for really, to have a couple of pixies available for the murdering and dissection?

The card pulsed with life, and following its instruction led riza to an odd door in the middle of a field.
