Xian had been wondering around aimlessly, his spirit ally at his side as he had been for many years now. Negibi was his name. An ancient warrior skilled in the shadow arts, a ninja in common speak. " Negi.." Xian whispered" Im bored... isn't there anything to do, anyone to save or something? I dont think i have even met any other shaman yet." Xian sat quietly, staring down at the bubbling brook that pass beneath the bridge on which he stood. " Wasn't the shaman fight suppose to star soon? I could have swore grandpa said it had been suppose to... but maybe it wasn't.... OR MAYBE IT ALREADY STARTED!!" The boy jumped up" Damit!!! Did i miss it?" quickly he ran deeper into the concrete jungle of the city, It was much diffrent from the many woods and villages on the southern coast where he was from.
The heated rays of sunlight struck down upon the running boy, raising his body temperature for the moment, cuasing him to break a light sweat. Slowly, he drew to a stop, unsure of what exactly he had been running for. Looking back he took notice of his spirit ally, moving slowly" yes... be right there...Xian.." The spirit looked tired. It was odd that even in death, it was possible for the spirit to tire from doing the same thing for too long. It had only been about a half hour or so since he began running, Xian was breathing heavily now as well." Lets sit down Negi..im kind of tired too." They had Led themselves to a park deep within the bustling city. Out of all the concrete buildings, roads, cars, and a number of diffrent dojo's, There was an open spot of land. It appeared to be 5 or 6 acres of nature, followed by the city resuming it's normal pattern." This place looks peaceful...Lets rest here for the nightXian, after all" the spirit continued" we dont really thave any money to pay for a place to stay."
Xian nodded his head and smiled" Ok, sounds good" And there the boy sat, sitting on the ground staring out across the small pond, eyeing the flowers that grew on the opposite bank of it. Nature was relaxing.. almost to relaxing..
