He walked along the river looking for anything. He needed a place where he could train in peace and find a place to call home. Maybe there was a village somewhere. Looking off into the horizon was a mountain with the moon so close to it. It was a beautiful sight. It looked as if one could climb to the top and reach out and grab the moon. He gazed off for a while, standing in its glory.

He took his sights off of it and followed the river down stream. It had to lead to a waterfall and a water deposit. Maybe there would be rice around, he only figured. He walked down skipping a few rocks as he went along. It was cool out, just the way he liked it.

He was getting closer to some trees guideing the rivers path. He entered the bank of the water and continued on not letting anything stop him. The moon always guided his way. It glowed all over, casting moon beams into the river, making it shine with divinity.

He sat down on the bank and rested a while looking down the river. There was a glowing that came from in the distance. Maybe it was the moon casting off the water, maybe it was a village? He would soon find out. He leaned back and still gazed off into the direction and thought, listening to the gentle rythm of the river and the wind.

He stood back up and continued down the river. There was a lot to be seen out here and it was good to be on his own. He was a pretty good ways off from the glow, as far as he could tell. He smiled listened to his surrondings. It was good to be out here all alone. It was a relief. He relaxed, the most he had felt in a while.

He was out of the trees and up ahead were some rice fields or maybe it was just wild rice, he could not tell. There was some fog around the fields, out in the distance hilighted with the moon beams. It was a beautilful sight. What ever this place was he did not know, he only knew its hyptnotizing beauty.

A light smell of lavender filled the air as well. He did not know where it was coming from, but he did not go look for it. He just enjoyed it while walking. He could tell that he was getting closer to the mountain and the brilliant moon watching over everything.

He pulled each foot up to him and took off his wooden sandal and felt the smooth rock below him. It was refreshing. It was going to be a long walk anyways, he could already tell.

The glow in the distance became stronger, but it was not to distinctive. It was true he was getting closer, but what did that actually mean?

He looked straight ahead at his target destination. He would get there in time, but he had to do something to pass the time. He walked and thought of what he could do to pass the time. Skipping rocks became old. There was not much of an area to skip them anyways. He would fish, but he had no time and it was to dark. He relaxed and began to hum.

That was it. He took his mind off the long walk and started to hum. This would not last long, but it would take away some of the time. He starred into the moon. He wondered for a while, just silly thoughts. How could we stare at the moon, but not the sun? They were counter parts. He questioned a lot at this time, just thinking of random things.

He walked on still humming away. It seemed like forever now. He did not complain though. He loved to walk alone, especially under a moon as beautiful as this. He looked at the mountain under the moon. It seemed to hold the moon in place. Heh, things that went through his head.

He could tell that he was getting closer now. The mountain and the moon seemed as if they were growing bigger, so that meant he was getting closer. This mysterious glow in the distance was becoming brighter and the sound of water seemed as if it were picking up speed.

He walked on humming looking at the moon and the shades of night in the area.

He yawned. This moon casting over him made him somewhat sleepy. He liked the feeling. It relaxed him even more. He had stopped humming now and was just walking in silence. He was wondering what was ahead of him. It could be anything. He let his mind wander.

He went along and tried to spook himself out letting his mind play tricks on him. He imagined that there was some creature out in the darkness following him, waiting to eat him up. He imagined the beast of having a boney figure, red eyes, and sharp teeth. He managed to send shivers down his back. This made him smile. He was to that point of boredum.

He could not keep his eyes of the beautiful moon. He found himself always starring at it. No one could doubt him, because he was sure that they would have done the same. It was a sight to behold. It was getting closer, or he was getting closer.

The glow was becoming brighter and the river was picking up speed and in the distance he could here water crashing against rocks, he was pretty sure that there was a waterfall ahead. All this was getting to him and he became anxious and ready. There he calmed back down after a while.

He looked at the rice fields and back to the moon, he was getting close to something he could feel it.

Water was rushing ahead now. He was sure that there was a waterfall up ahead. The current in the water had been picked up and the sound of crashing water echoed throught the night. He was close now, so very close. This glow was strong now it light up the sky and interfered with the moons beautiful and lonely glow, now the two met.

He only could think of what was ahead for him. He calmed down and smiled he was ready for anything. He pressed on looking up to the mountain for guidance. He was so close to it now. He never noticed how close it was to the glow ahead, maybe people lived in the mountains? He was letting his mind wander again.

This was becoming tiresome. When he found the glow, whatever it was, he was going to sit down and rest, but not now. He was too close to rest. He heard some odd noises out in the distance two. Maybe, people?

There were a lot more rice fields now. That meant people were around somewhere. He looked at the moon and it still held its overwhellming beauty. He was tired and his mind was wandering.

"How much farther!!!!!" He was now irritated by the glow. It seemed as if it were getting ever farther.

He started to pick up his pace. The moon was leaving behind the moutain and the glow was fading. He was almost there. He put on his wooden sandals and began to dart of down the river. He was close to getting there. If it was a village then he would be ok, for a while. If it was something else, then he needed to travel and fast. He had came such a long way.

He listened and heard a roaring waterfall. Where did it lead to? He was close to the edge now and the water was rapidly increasing. He stepped on the bank and darted down the side of it. His arms were flailing behind him and his hair blowing back.

He came about five meters away from the drop off where the water dropped and created the waterfall. He stepped closer and closer. He hoped that the glow he saw earlier was the answer. He closed his eyes and smiled as he took steps closer and closer to the edge. He was almost there. He came to the edge and looked down.

He saw a waterfall and just a little ways from it was a wooden bridge and a gate. He looked to his left and saw smoke, like something that would come from chimneys and he looked farther out. Was this the village? He held his breath for a moment and ran towards the gate.
