A Zassou's Travels [ Travel ]

[Masaki]

As the boy walked calmly through the flowery meadows, he would gaze, almost frightened, upon the path before him. The journey ahead was a long one, and he would need to muster up all of his strength to do complete it. Sighing, he would continue walking forward, soaking the sun's rays for strength. As he turned his head, h would spy an apple tree to his left. A vine jetting forth from his hand, he would pluck it, returning it to his hand. Taking a bite, he would smile, and begin rushing forward.

Adrenaline pumping through his veins, he would take off in a blinding speed along the dirt road. Beaten from years of travel, it would be flattened to the point where it only increased the Zassou's speed. Leaping into the air, he would continue his journey through the trees. Passing skillfully from branch to branch, he would swing on his vines, thrusting himself even further into the sky. Smiling brightly as he came down upon the path with a thud, he would find himself trailing through a small village.

As the green-skinned child passed through, many glances gave him the feeling that he was unwanted. Sighing as he burst easily through the crowds, he would come to a skidding halt, nearly destroying several vendors shops. Panting, yet full of energy and life, he would carefully address a passerby. The Land of Waterfall was his destination, and he would query the civilian on its location. As the simple gesture pointed him towards the Northeast, he would again begin his sprint. It would not be long before his destination was achieved, for the sounds of cascading water would strike his ears. A thin veil of mist from the falls would douse him, and he would smile. Behold, Taki no Kuni.

"Westward, ho!"

As fatigue began to come over the boy, his running would slow to a fast walking pace. An eerie feeling would come over him as he would glance at the lands he now approached. As the light upon the land faded, he would see the ruins of a destroyed village. Charred wood, pieces of bones, remainders of weapons, etc. littered the ground of the barren area. Obviously, it had been the site of a battle, and one that had been lost. Moving past the desolate remains, he would swiftly move into a nearby forest. Sighing as his vines seeped slowly from his hands, he would look towards the branches overhead. The trees were unusually tall, and he would smirk as his appendages reached for their branches.

With each thrust of his arm, the vines would connect with another branch, and the Zassou would find himself breezing through the forest. Once more did he swing upon the trees, weaving himself in and out of them with expert precision. Deciding to make a game of it, flips, twists, and jumps were added to his routine, as he would fly through the leaves and above the canopies. Fast would be the descent, but he would always catch himself before landing. It was not long before he found himself at a sudden edge of the forest, looking down upon sands. Glancing up before him, he would spy a large beach, a vast ocean spread beyond it. Smiling as he walked forward, he knew he had found the right place.
