Hiatus [Travel]

[zuka]

It had been a long time since he had left the comfort of his cozy little country. There was peace in the lands, ensuring that no war overtook Taki and thrust him into battle. The worldly events were nearly non-existent. This world was boring, and now so too was his country. Fleeting footsteps carried the Aburame quickly over the terrain, bypassing waterfalls on all sides. The sound of falling water crashing into the lake echoed all around, and somehow it invigorated me. For the first time in a long time a smile dawned upon my face. I was free, and I was going wherever my heart desired. From my sleeves my insects exploded outwards, gaining their own freedom, if only temporarily. Together we traveled across the small country I called home, eventually crossing over the border, watching as the waterfalls became trees and the trees became thick labyrinths of wood. It had been a while since I'd been in Hi no Kuni.

The thick enclosing woods, contrary to their stature, provided for an excellent feeling of absolute liberation and freedom. Here, among nature, I swung from branch to branch, catching onto the limbs of trees and propelling myself to another. The gentle breezes caused the leaves to sway to and fro, echoing from all sides the sounds of things brushing against one another. For the first time in a while a smile came across my face. I did not know what it was that propelled me but I was drawn towards the coast, and time flew by as I enjoyed myself in my liberty.

Soon enough the earthen forest floors turned to the wooden docks of a small village on the coast, and within the scent of fish and sea air reigned. I found that my running had turned to a brisk walk as I neared a passenger boat, boarding it before I even knew what I was doing. I placed my elbows on the side of the boat, watching the waves as they crashed into the beach nearby. The wind here was much stronger and soon I heard the sails unfold, pushing the boat forward into the ocean and off to an unknown destination. I sat down against the rails, looking up into the cloudless sky as I waited for the boat to arrive.
