In Honor of Our Fallen Comrades

A small shrine sits within the swamps of Amegakure near a beaten path for travelers to pay their respects to the dead. The shrine was crafted from darkwood and adorned with a single oil candle that is kept lit at all times. The names of fallen shinobi have been neatly carved into the wood and coated with a reflective silver paint so they illuminate when they are touched by the candle's light.

Once she had reached the swamps, Tati followed the small signs that lead the way to the memorial shrine. The wood of the signs were still freshly polished and only a slight shade of water logged brown; evidence of their rather recent construction.
And then, just before her down the beaten path, was a small shrine crafted of a rich and dark wood. A single candle flickered, its light reflecting harmoniously against the night. It was beautiful.

At a much slower pace she walked forward, lowering herself to rest on her knees at the foot of the shrine. She hadn't had the chance to meet them all, but the first three names at the top of the list caused a tight constriction in her chest. Her sweet little cousins, Keroku and Miko. It seemed like ages ago that they had all been in academy together. And Uncle Batou...Tatianna closed her eyes tightly. Just the thought of his name had caused tears to swell in her eyes. Whiping them away with the back of her hand, she took in another deep breath. She would miss them all dearly. And a small part of her held onto to the hope that somewhere out in the world they were maybe still alive. The carving next to their names did only say "MIA" after all.

After a few more minutes of silent prayer for her missing clansmen, Tatianna got to her feet. It was awfully late, but if she really wanted to know what had been going on around here, she would need to go and speak with the Kage. That realization had a brought a smile to her face. It wasn't very often that she had a valid excuse to interrupt her Uncle's busy schedule. But she would need to report to Jin that she and Fenoru had returned anyway With a nod, she wandered off back down the beaten path to seek the Amekage.
