The journey was on, and what an adventure to begin! Hattori had a purpose in his heart, and it showed in his stride as he made his way across the Land of Fire. At first, he and his companions were surrounded by nothing but forest. This lasted for a few hours. It'd seem like a blur as every last step seemed the same as the last. Close to the end of the first hour, the road began to get bumpy. It'd go up and down, snaking this way and that. Looming in the distance were mountains, tall and bold. They were so large and great that they had great ravines snaking into their sides. They'd disappear around the second hour, along with the rest of the forest.

Now they were out in the plains, and with it came rolling hills with grass that reached to the skies. The winds sent ripples through these plains. At points, if Alpha and Omega were far enough, Hattori couldn't even see them as they galloped through the tall grass. The hills lessened, and in their asbence a great river sprung forth. The road trailed alongside it for a few more hours, but as Hattori pressed on the river would turn into a tributary. Then from a tributary into a stream. Then from a stream into a measly brook. Then eventually that disappeared too. Finally, after several hours, something appeared on the horizon. It was mid-afternoon at this point, and if Hattori slacked off now it would just simply turn night before they arrived at Tanzaku Quarter.

There were many forks and turns in the road, yet for all there was Hattori had not run into a single village or even a hamlet. It must've felt nice to finally see civilization once again after being in solitude for so long. Once he arrived at Tanzaku, he'd find the streets flowing with life. Stalls were set up everywhere and constantly sells were being made. Some people ate, others picked up odds and trinkets to bring back home with them after a long day in the land of gambling. If Alpha and Omega tried to pick up a scent, they'd have a hard time. There was so many unique and different scents here that it was hard to pick out the exact one that they had sniffed earlier this morning. It would take some time, but if Hattori was patient then they would find Guiying together. In the meantime, was Hattori looking out for anything in particular? Perhaps he had questions to ask of the locals? There were many choices to make here, and none of them seemed like too bad of an idea.
