The Hunt [Travel/Open]

[An'ei Sekitan]

Wind danced upon the grasslands of Kusa no Kuni, frolicking between each blade, and kissed the leafy boughs of the forests nearby. A painted canopy overhead filled the eye with wonder: violets and oranges, reds and yellows, pinpricks of only the strongest starlight daring to battle the orange flame of the setting Sun. As land and sky mammal alike settled in for the night, those that hunted were just awakening from the day’s slumber, and so too did Houkou awaken. White hair was rustled by the passing breeze, wild and unkempt, while red orbs gazed upon his surroundings. A mighty yawn exposed his canine fangs, the muscles of his arms and legs bulging as he stretched, his white Shinigami-esque garb fluttering behind him like a flock of bats leaving for the night. His blades upon his hips, his bag filled with Kunai, he began to walk knowing that he would be followed.

A powerful beast rose as he had, a little slower than himself, but perhaps that was due to the enormous size of the creature. The dark fur mass that was Sekizan came to bear, stretching and yawning as had Houkou, and then his piercing blue eyes focused on his master. It was time yet again for the hunt. The thrill of the chase, the taste of blood as it rolled over his tongue, the poignant delectable stench of fear just before the kill. Sekizan bound after his master, huge paws shaking the ground ever so slightly in his excitement, for he and Houkou were off to hunt yet again. Beware the night, childen, for the king of the Worgs hunts in the dark, and he is the Demon Dog himself.

Houkou stood upon the dock with Sekizen, gazing at the ships in the harbor, searching for one of an appropriate size to hold the huge Worg. After a moment or two, his eyes would happen upon a ship of some considerable girth, and he would head toward that vessel with purpose. Arriving on the dock platform, he found the pilot of the ship, and after a short parley was able to garner passage for himself and Sekizen. The price was the entire crew keeping their lives. With the matter settled, they were underway within a few hours, the destination Yuki no Kuni. He had heard a rumor out there and wished to investigate it.
