Welcome to Gaia! ::

When they got back to the camp Fordon quickly buried the two remaining bodies with great haste. As he did Mai looked over the Female Fire jutsu user. Seeing the chest ripped open she turned away in disgust. She didnt feel like she was going to vomit but she didnt like having to see such injuries. It was Like Fordon had been a beast and shown no mercy. how could it be that the sweet kind man she had fallen for was really a monster? She turned to the scorched woods on one side of the camp. in some places of the black ash wasteland before her bits of fire still burned. It was like the little flames were refusing to die. As she turned back toward the the bodies Fordon was using a earth jutsu to fill in the hole. For a moment he bowed his head as if in prayer. Fordon then looked over to Mai and asked gently " are you ready to go?" Mai gave a look to the Hero Water still clutched in her arms. "I just need to get my pack." But Fordon held up his hand. "no let me get that." Fordon carried both bags and they continued on their way. It was different now though. Neither said a word. Mai had so many questions. How could Fordon be ok after taking two swords threw in vital organs? more troubling were the wounds the women had. It looked like something had been ripped out of her chest. how could Fordon be able to do something like that? it puzzled her but she kept her mouth shut. after almost half an hour more of walking they came to a water fall. In front of it were four ninja of the waterfall village. "we are here to escort you the rest of the way and see to it the water is returned." the leader of the group said. "good! Ok lets get going!" Mai responded relieved to have finally arrived at the village. "however your escort can not come. he must wait here. one of our men will wait with him." the man said sounding sorry he had to say it. "its alright i understand. you have things you need to keep everyone from knowing and you dont know if you can trust every ninja around. ill just take this time to clean up." So while Mai went inside Fordon cleaned the blood and sweat from his body. he even fixed his cloths where the swords had go threw. At long last Fordon said something to his silent guard. "you saw exactly what we were dealing with back there. you left it to us hoping we would take care of your mess. when i did you all got worried i might be a big threat and decided you could not have me in the village right?" the other ninja responded nervously "Well ya your right for the most part." Fordon smiled with his eyes at the man. "its ok i understand and i must say its a smart move. So tell me whats your name?" "Toki" the other man replied. "well Toki im Fordon. so-" From there Fordon and Toki talked about many things till Finally Mai returned. Fordon saw a change with her from when she had gone in. she seemed calmer and less pale. Together Fordon and Mai said their goodbyes. once through they headed back the way they came. they talked a little and slowly Mai opened back up to Fordon. They left the village far behind along with the peril they had gone through. Their next destination was the docks.
EXIT

Kaizen arrived quickly after Taiji, and looked around for the entrance. Spotting the giant waterfall, Kai walked towards it, stopping just in front of it before looking over his shoulder at his team-mates and shrugging. Looking forward once more, Kai took a deep breath before saying in a calm yet loud tone, "Every once in a decade, a Hero is born!"

"I live to fulfill the dreams of those that came before me"

[possible artifact recovery]

(heh, heh, I think everyone was posting at the same time, but yeah, we'll try and keep everything a bit more organized in the future)



Kaizen took the water from the woman gingerly, marveling as it swirled seeming of its own accord within its container. Tying the bottle to his sash, Kai looked up at his team-mates and said, "well we can't get another artifact today, but we might as well move on to the next location, and I think I can even procure us some lodging. Shall we go visit House Demascus?"

"I live to fulfill the dreams of those that came before me"
