teach me sensei

Shuriken’s massive mismatched paws stopped at the edge of the beach as her dual toned eyes searched the ocean and the island across the channel. The chilly fall was settled in, it was cold not despite the warm water that came here from the south on a warm ocean current. The girl was still, the only time she looked poised. Her expression was determined, she was getting older and her skill set was growing, she had no shortage of teachers. There was one wolf she looked up to with reverence, Chimera.

He was short when it came to his attitude, serious, and the last thing she expected from him was to be coddled. She had seen how he hunted and that scene stayed with her from a young girl. Maybe she put him on too high of a pedestal but she knew he was the most talented hunter in Ashen, and he was her uncle. That meant he would teach her. Right?

She wasn’t supposed to go across to the island, it was Chi and Siren’s home, and like the palace she needed permission to enter. The young princess threw back her head and called out to the Kage from where she was. As her voice was whipped away by the wind Ike waited for her uncle.
