travel to moon

[♥♥ryu♥♥]

Now prepared to travel to the chuunin exams, Ryu began her journey. She sat upon Atlas's shoulder, playing with Cujo, her newest buddy. Soon she'd be advancing in her career as a shinobi, and she was pretty excited, but also nervous. She didn't want to fail when she had worked this hard to finally be here. She scratched Atlas's shoulder lightly as she began to drift off. Hopefully soon they'd be in Fire country and ready to board their ship over to Moon.

Cujo curled up into her pocket as she turned on her side and breathed in Atlas's clean scent. She'd given him a bath before they left, and not he smelled like vanilla, one of her favorite scents. She'd have bathed Cujo too, but he wouldn't have enjoyed it much, and he didn't get stinky. She'd grown used to the bumpiness of the ride on Atlas's shoulder, and could fall asleep at will on his back, where most people wouldn't be able to handle the rockiness.

She woke up just as they were reaching the Fire boundary. She'd never been to Fire country, but so far it didn't look much different from Grass, aside from the lack of flowers. She hoped that soon they'd be at their boat. She was anxious to see the ocean. Hopefully it wouldn't be a letdown.

As they crossed the border, Atlas hung a left and they headed for the coast. Eventually they should reach some sort of port. Surely there were boats headed to the exams for both contestant and spectator alike, and she was bound for one of those boats. Albeit they would need a large amount of cargo space for Atlas, but she was sure they'd be fine.

They reached the shoreline and Ryu hopped down onto the sand, walking beside Atlas. she removed her sandals and walked through the water, letting the waves crash over her feet. The salt water felt different from the lake water she was used to, almosdt rough in comparison. She liked it, and the smell was nice too. The breeze was even pretty.

Finally, she caught sight of the docks, and they sprinted forward to catch what seemed to be the last boat. It was almost empty, apparently most people were smart and headed out early, but not her. She procrastinated. They boarded, and Atlas had to sit outside. Inside the boat, she coddled Cujo the fruitbat as they traveled over. Soon they'd be there.
