Demon in My View [Trl]

[Celaena Kamyuja]

Enter - Traveling Track

There was ash on her pale skin from helping to put out the fire. She was traveling again, to no place in particular, but she wasn’t traveling alone. The Kamyuja preferred company even if it was for a short while. The stranger, girl, named Lynette, had been preparing the evening meal, flames had leapt from the wood like arms reaching out to grab her and both of our figures leaped away from the hungry flames in unison. It was always like that. The wind simply plays with the flames and if you were too close, then you get burned. Amarantha leaned back and watched intently as the girl hovered the pot over the flames before allowing it to settle down on a metal base.

“And what is it this time child?”

Last time it was a nice mixture of Spanish rice and prawns. And surprisingly enough, it had tasted good. And for desert it was simple and fulfilling: a cheesecake tart. But now the smells coming from the makeshift stove smelt like Mustard. The Kamyuja already knew what was for desert, Layered Boysenberry Delight, some sort of yoghurt with cream. It looked nice anyway. She arched her back slightly before resting on her elbows, her legs straight out before her.

“Tonight we are having Mustard chicken with vegetables. Could you hand over two onions please?”

Amarantha did as ordered before looking into the boiling pot. Chicken with onions, celery sticks chopped into eatable chunks, carrots and mustard. Along with a bunch of other ingredients she had never heard or seen before. She nodded before falling back onto the ground again. Looking up at the stars she wondered where she would be heading to next. And with a sigh she would ask softly.

“What do you do with yourself child? You remind me of a gypsy.”

A giggle was the response and Amara leaned on her side, her head propped up by her right hand and she stared questionably. The girl’s thin shoulders jumped in reply. She had a smile upon her face but her gaze was bland. Amarantha knew that look. It was the look of a person in deep thought. The Kamyuja simply waited.

“I am free spirit. I travel, learn and can be whomever I want to be. Dinner is ready.”

As both females ate, she would wonder what happened to Lynette’s parents. But the question was never asked. And before long they were both sleeping. The child soundlessly, the Kamyuja, lightly. Every single sound woke her, and before long it was morning. A new day and a new travel. Amarantha gave a brief farewell to the child before leaving for her journey to wherever her feet may take her. She hadn’t even bothered to look at her new map yet.

Move to Ame no Kuni please?

[Father 'Suke]

Moved to Ame no Kuni

[Celaena Kamyuja]

Warmer weather left only to be crushed by heavy rain. The storm washed all the colour out of the day. The sky was ashen as burnt-out ruins and, from a distance of even half a mile, the trees looked black. Wind-driven rain, grey as iron nails, continued to hammer every surface, and pot holes overflowed with filthy water. Amarantha stood at the border of the Rain village, and the weather was beautiful, so very much like home. She was debating whether to enter the village and seek out information for herself and her village, or to simply carry on to the next village.

As in turn, she was dressed like a lunatic, black corset mini-dress and combat boots. No trench coat, or rain coat. And no umbrella. But then again this might be her only chance. She has no idea how long it would be for her to be here again. And then again there might not even be a next time. She could be killed in the near future for all she knew. With hesitation she made up her mind.

She walked away. Her shoulders rigid against the rain, rigid against her decision. But all the way, with every step she took, she knew that she would be back. She will make it so, dead or alive. For the first time, she placed her hand down between her corset and pulled out a brand new scroll, unrolled it and read the intents. So that is the next village.

Move to Land of Fire Please?

[Father 'Suke]

Moved to Hi no Kuni

[Celaena Kamyuja]

Amarantha staggered through the trees, blindly looking for the Leaf village. This was a nightmare. Was there such a thing called ‘how to read a map?’ If so, she wanted the scroll. She had already pasted through the Land of Fire before but now this looked different, she was on a different path. The weather was the only thing which told her that she was nearing the right place. Hi no Kuni. Really? She needed help.

Exit.

[Celaena Kamyuja]

Enter.

The walk through the forest surrounding the village of Leaf was effortless now that she knew where she was going. And before long the well-known path came into view. The Kamyuja stopped momentarily before pulling out her World map and studied the markings. For some odd reason she had a heavy compulsion to travel back to the Land of Stone? Why was this compulsion here now when she was just getting settled into the rhythm of the Konoha-ians? She wasn’t really loyal, especially when she was supposed to take some Genins on a mission. What a waste.

Her feet picked the trail she had taken to get to that said village. And hurriedly made her way. Traveling was such an annoyance, especially when the walks were so long and lonely. But she had to get there, if she did not, she felt as though she would go insane. This persistent desire, an illusion base tug sent her moving. And soon before long due to her long strides, and proceeding movements, the temperature slowly changed.

From better to worst, she knew the smell of beautiful fresh rain before she even saw the rainclouds blackening the horizon. Soon she will be in that village. The village where she will be wet yet surprisingly cleansed. The Kamyuja would like to stay in that cold wet village, but this desire to be elsewhere will become too much. She felt her pace quicken. Over the horizon the Land of Rain would marry the skies, and as the first drops of water touches her skin, she knew that after the Land of Rain, the Land of Stone was just beyond the muggy frontier.

Move me to Land of Rain please?

[Father 'Suke]

Moved to Ame no Kuni

[Celaena Kamyuja]

Disorientation swept in and clouded the Kamyuja’s mind. She skidded to a halt, puddles of mud riding up the sole of her shoes and made squishing sounds, farther upsetting her. She was in the Land of Rain. And had a weak compulsion to be somewhere beyond the crossings. In Stone. Why was the feeling weakening? She was needed somewhere, she knows this but where?

Her feet, of their own accord, stumbled back in forth in directions, forcing her body to move in their confused direction. Amarantha wasn’t sure where she was supposed to go. Sudden emotion swelled up and tears form in her eyes. Weakness. But she felt so confused. With a pitiful cry, she felt her body collapse to the soggy ground in a heap and gripped her hair in bundles before pulling at the mass. And then with an agonised scream she roared to the crying heavens.

Slowly, she sobbed away the fear of losing her mind and sadly made up her mind. Rising to her feet she pulled out her map and stared down at the coordinates. Home, she needed her own soil. Could she simply be homesick? She did not know. Dabbing the tears from her eyes she turned and headed toward her homeland. So retracing her footsteps, she will soon arrive in the Land of Fire. What a waste of her time. She needed a bath.

Move me back to Land of Fire please.

[Celaena Kamyuja]

She did not stop. Her heart surprisingly began to lighten with every step she took as she made her path home. It must have been homesickness. How could rogue ninjas do it? Speaking of which, she left without telling her current leader. I hope Raikage will forgive her. Just beyond, on her right side stood the location where the gates are hidden. She ignored said path and continued her way toward the north east, where the hot springs crossroads are. And the thought of soaking in the waters sounded very tempting. Yet she knew she wouldn’t, she needed home.

The warm temperature of Hi no Kuni would soon chill. And Amarantha thought that the Hot Springs Country would be warm, she was mistaken. Passing through months ago she was surprised how cool the county was inland. The steam from the pools, she thought would make the city warmer. But nope. She wondered as she moved silently through Hi no Kuni, if the small country had changed much…

Move to Hot Springs Please?

[Nekomata Minh]

Moved to Hot springs yo

[Celaena Kamyuja]

The Hot Springs had not changed one bit. As Amarantha walked through the cool climate, she continued her way up north, heading for Frost. The place where she played to get Chunin. That place should give memories, memories where she punched the hell out of robots and met strangers from faraway lands. She was looking forward to it.

Move to Frost please?

[N A T S U M I]

Moved.

[Celaena Kamyuja]

Eh. And she thought she would get memories from this place. The Frost country looked like a white wasteland. Her body automatically suited its body heat to the appreciated temperature, she when she passed through the land, she would freeze to death.

Home, she could hear the thunderclouds already. Just over the horizon and a bit her village resides. But first she has to walk there. Will this ease her ache? Will she get some action? Missions and possible Jonin? There were so many possibilities. She found herself slightly happy. Strange considering her mood beforehand. She just realized how unstable she really was. As the climate began to change again. She thought about running the rest of her way home.

Move to Thunder Please??

[Nekomata Minh]

Moved to Thunder

[Celaena Kamyuja]

She was home. The air smelt of fresh rain. The rumble of thunder and the flash of lightning. The storm brings back memories. She was finally home…
