Mount Felter - Summit
'Heh. You may have a point.'Mount Felter - Summit
Banzan closed his eyes and allowed his mind to take his body. In it, he was flying. Lifting and dropping on the currents of the wind, free to go where he wished without a single care of what the world demanded of him. And why shouldn't he? The last time he felt truly alive was on his pilgrimage. He was living then. He hadn't noticed it before, but his heart was calling out to be freed. The crushing weight of the mountain had been pressing down upon him for so long that he had grown accustomed to it, but it wasn't natural. Slowly, he opened his eyes.
'Perhaps one day, I'll return to grant your own dreams. Hiro!'
With that last thought, he turned and ran with his clothing fluttering behind him. In that moment he decided to cast it all aside. Commitment. Duty. Pride. These were all just meaningless concepts. Words. What he truly wanted...the one thing he had always longed for was...freedom. Banzan and Hiro both ran with reckless abandon. Turning to his wolf companion, a thought struck him. All this time he had been trying to shape Hiro to what Banzan thought he was, when he should have been shaping himself to Hiro's nature. The two raced past the campsite and down the mountain. It had been a long time since either one of them had set foot off of it and there was one place in particular that Banzan decided he would visit before he left, perhaps forever. That place was Felter. He couldn't quite say why, but something was drawing him there. He wasn't quite aware of that fact himself, only that it was where his body was going. The entire way down, a smile was painted across his face.
Some time later, Banzan reached the entrance to the city. It seemed quite different than the last time he had seen it, and remained woefully unaware of just how different his own presence was from the locals and how it would no doubt draw attention. With face paint, Eastern garb, and a wolf, there are some that might wonder why the Red Devil was inside the city. That fact become apparent, as a few youths noticed him coming in and ran off to tell everyone they knew. For better, or worse, Banzan entered the city of Felter.
