LISTEN AND READ

Mugen and Keldran’s journey to Uzoshigakure was gradually coming to a close. With barely 35 miles to go the pair had stopped and set up a small encampment at the top of a waterfall. They seemed to have a knack for finding good looking places to stop. They had access to water, there was wood all around to set up their fire and shelters, the only thing they had to really work for was food, the river they were near didn’t seem to have any fish swimming within. They would probably have to scavenge or go hunting if they wanted to eat anytime soon.

Once Mugen and Keldran had finally set up their camp they both had time to just relax, they were really in no hurry anymore and why not enjoy the good view. Mugen decided to go for a bit of a walk along the small river that formed the waterfall next to their camp. It was partially just for the sake of walking and partially for sake of looking for food. Barely 20 meters from their camp sight Mugen came across a large tree that had fallen due to erosion around its roots. The tree had fallen in such a way that it now formed a sort of bridge over the river or as Mugen saw it; a resting spot.





He stepped onto the log and carefully walked to the center of it before taking a seat. For a moment Mugen just sat their facing the drop of the waterfall. He could easily see their camp from his spot so that was good. A gentle breeze blew over the area adding to a sense of tranquility, mix that with the flowing river, the rustling of leaves and the chirping of birds and one could call it … peaceful. After a moment of quiet sitting Mugen turned and lay lengthways along the log, placing his hands under his head and dangling his legs off the side as he just watched the sky. The thought of meditating came to mind, he’d heard it mentioned but never did it but for a moment he now considered it, they brushed it off when he figured he wasn’t sure what he’d be meditating for.

At this point Mugen wouldn’t notice if Keldran went off to find a quiet place himself. From Mugen’s perspective both he and Keldran had a lot of things on their minds, some more than others it seemed. For a moment he wondered if Keldran had changed in his time as a PoW, it wouldn’t be surprising. Having said that though, Mugen’s opinion of Keldran before this point had been forged at Sunagakure, he never knew what his ‘Brother’ was like outside of combat situations until now but he couldn’t be sure if that’s how he was beforehand. He shrugged the thought off and let his mind drift through random thought, from ideals of peace, ways to better himself as a ninja and whether bread should or should not be buttered. It felt good to have no responsibilities anymore.
