winter wonderland

Hikaru was learning swiftly the differences between their homeland and this place. The wolves, the land, the culture, it was all so different and nearly unrecognizable. Sometime he felt like he was in a whole different world, but he welcomed the fact. He didn’t fit back home, out here Hikaru felt free to carve out his own existence and purpose. Hattori replied with an answer that Hikaru very much expected. Serving an Empress in these lands as her warrior. Kaiyo didn’t look surprised, ”The perfect place for the once heir.” Hika mumbled, doing a poor job of hiding the awe in his voice. ”Funny though, I’ll be joining the Armada.” Mortis warned there was another shinobi (or not in Hika’s case) nearby. Hattori was probably the wolf he’d been speaking of, but what other once Iga had fled here? ”Are you alone here? How many have you seen?” He pried a little harder, curious if his own kin had made it through, however much he didn’t want his mind to travel down that road.
