Finding the Mist(Open)

[Kalin666]

Walking for nearly a hour still in chains, Deddo Meitei finally found civilization on whatever place he was shipwrecked. Making it into small village, he didn't have to look far to find a locksmith that could get the chains off him. While the smith was taking off the chains, Deddo asked where he was, and the smith answered "Land of Water." Not really knowing the hidden village of the country, Deddo asked what it was and if the man had any idea where it was. The man, just finishing up getting the chains off, told Deddo it was Mist, and he should try heading west and following any rumors he hears.Thanking the man greatly, Deddo started to do his advice, heading straight west through the wilderness.

Within minutes of leaving that small village, Deddo was starting to fall in love with his new surrondings. The moist air was a big reminder of his homeland, making him feel both glad and sad. This new land was good for his memories, both the good ones, and the ones about his family. Stopping his little walk down memory lane, Deddo started to look a little more to the landscape. With the many simlirities between Rain and Water, he was noticing Rain's ground didn't seem as wet, yet it seemed to rain all the time. Deddo Had lost himself in thought for close to an hour of just walking and thinking. Refocusing, Deddo noticed he had moved into a swamp. Bumbed and a little mad that his shoes looked even worse now then after his training, Deddo found a quick way out of swamp and moved around, trying to stay going west.

Moving a little off-west, Deddo get around an other hour of walking before he found a crossroad with one of the paths aimed where he guessed he was heading. Following the road close to a mile, Deddo ended up at a fork in the road. Right at the break in the road, a man was standing smiling. Walking up to a couple feet in front of the man, Deddo asked "Why Are you standing there?" "To give directions" The man replied fast, "Where you headin'" Only thinking for a second Deddo said happily "A village in the west." His smile getting bigger, the man whispered loudly "You should go to my left!" With a small laugh, Deddo thanked the man and headed down the road to his left. After going a hundred feet, Deddo turned to ask the man where the other road went, But saw he wasn't in sight, even though there wasn't a single tree to block his view. Alittle confused, Deddo turned back around and continued, hoping this was a lead to the Hidden Mist Village.

Walking around an hour Deddo finally found an actual village. Apon enter the village, he could see easily it wasn't a ninja village. Everyone around seemed to busy to even talk to Deddo, so he decided to follow the road he was on through the village. It was a decent idea, since no one would help him, but it came with bad news as Deddo was getting close to the end of the village. The road didn't continue heading west, it curved and moved back into the village. Frustrated at getting bad directions, Deddo rethinked what was said at the fork. Deddo Almost hit himself when he realised he didn't ask the guy where the hidden village was, he asked where to find a village in the west. Thinking he had to be stupid, Deddo looked to the sun to find west, and started walking that way, hoping he would have better luck.

After an uncounted time of walking, Deddo Walked straight into a marsh. starting to feel bummed out, he decided his shoes didn't matter, they're ruined anyway. Walking in the wet ground, Deddo wondered why he had never seen a marsh before with all the rainy weather he'd seen. Looking aound, Deddo realized how crazy it was for him to be there. He had almost nothing, not even a shirt, he was jobless, and no one probably had a clue he was in this country. Sort-of wondering if he should really continue, Deddo remembered he was a proud mercenary, and it was his duty to find a job and get it done on his life. With his mind racing, Deddo missed to important details: his shoes slipped off somewhere in the marsh, and he was no longer in a marsh. Too deep in thought to notice, he just kept walking, and clouds started to fill the skies and block out the sun.

When Deddo finally stopped with his deep thoughts to notice his surrondings, he was completely lost. Sometime in his oblivious walk a dense fog came down. Deddo could barely see five feet in front off himself. Sorta just wandering around in the misty fog, he hoped he was still heading west, and that he might be on the right trail and his was jujst to throw him off. A little confidence built back up, Deddo continued walking randomly around in the fog, not knowing if he was going around in circles. To him, it seemed a matter of time before he would find the village, even if he had to wander around the huge island to get there. Nothing would stop Deddo from finding his next potential job, not even bad luck or an act of god himself.
