“Ah wonderful!”. The father clapped his hands and laughed with joy before looking off in the distance as if a bit saddened. “We don’t get too many visitors around here anymore. Ever since ‘The Rise’ was formed under a powerful leader who single-handedly united the beast tribes, almost all of our ties with Konoha have been broken, making it impossible for us to see our family there.”. Letting out a sigh of grief, the man’s eyes still brimmed with hope as they welled up with tears. “But I’m sure that things will be better someday. One day, I hope that Ikeru, the Phoenix, himself will come and take care of it. But, since there are so many prisoners and kidnapped people of importance, kept at ‘The Rise’, I doubt the Hokage would risk their lives in order to make ours easier. So for now we’ll have to carry the burden as best we can and enjoy each day for what happiness it brings.”.



While talking, the Hozo Uzumaki had already begun walking while holding the hand of his little girl who happily skipped along while carrying her tebbybear in her free hand; its fluffy feet dragging past the ground. It didn’t take more for a few minutes for the group to arrive in front at a mediocre sized wooden house from which came a wonderful smell of roasted pork. Yahime walked over to the door and pushed it open while darting in shouting “Mommy! I found some friends! Daddy said they could stay for dinner.”. Followed by the laugh of a, as of yet, unknown woman.

Hozo held the door open for Keldran and Mugen to enter at which the duo would see an absolutely stunning woman with red hair. Her age had refined her features like a fine wine as she stood in her apron, in the kitchen, smiling brightly at the two boys while waving a pitcher of lemonade in her hand; almost spilling some of the sweet liquid onto the roast dinner she was preparing.

“Oh how dirty you boys look. You must’ve had a long rough journey. Please, have a drink and my husband will show you to our bathroom. I think you should go first with that long hair of yours.”

She giggled behind the back of her hand as she filled Keldran a large glass of lemonade and walked over to him, handing it over. After that she filled a glass for Yahime while Hozo showed Mugen the bathroom where he’d be given time to take a nice warm bath.

“My name is Marietta.”. Said the woman as she returned to preparing dinner, basting the pork roast which smelled fantastic. “What are you guys called?”
