If it were up to Seiko, they would probably stay tucked inside Tojo-Kai's bamboo maze for the rest of time- but that wasn't feasible. They couldn't grow stronger like that, couldn't gain the skills they needed to be as strong as they needed to. It wasn't like they hated seeing the world beyond their home, they just knew home was superior, and vastly so. They'd gladly agreed to join their siblings in a hunt, especially one that proved to be such a challenge. They'd never hunted something quite so large, so it was no surprise just how far they'd tracked it. Seiko had crossed this sandbar once before, though they hadn't expected to make the journey again so soon. What happened next though was even more surprising. The world begin to tremble and shake in a way that terrified even the normally-unshakable Seiko. Together the group ran, hard and fast, abandoning their hunt entirely. Food could come later. Being so far from home when the unthinkable happened was enough for Seiko to lose their appetite completely. Surely their siblings all felt the same. They hunkered down for the rest of the night, only getting bits of restless sleep, stirring immediately when dawn broke. The sky was blood-red, unlike anything they'd ever experienced. It was threatening, foreboding in a way that Seiko didn't quite know how to comprehend. The land they navigated too was just as ominous. They'd never seen anything like it before. Those tall stone spikes reached higher than even the trees in the dragon's blood grove near their home, something that Seiko fixated on for a long while. Tilting their head toward KatsurÅ, they breathed in a slow breath, feeling the humid summer air tangle in their throat. "I'm not sure either," Seiko admitted, feeling strange admitting any trepidation out loud. "This place- something about it doesn't feel right. Have any of you seen this place before?" Most of the yearlings kept close to home, but Seiko didn't keep tabs on where they went. Maybe one of them had been here before. |
Note: Seiko is biologically female, but they identify as nonbinary (they/them pronouns).
Their companion - a female tabby cat with antlers, named Herajika - is often hanging around.
