Welcome to the next installment, the sequel to Saved By Fire. Dance of the Dragon. I've been working hard now that I've got my character actually established, and now the real fun can start. This is going to be a long ride, but I'm hoping that you guys will like it. I'm also going to be adding extra chapters to the other story, just funny little things that I figure they would do while on the road with Jiraiya. I'm already working on five of those chapters, so stay tuned for those.
Also, if you are here to flame me at all, the door is to your left.
Okay, I figured that I'd start this story off with a lot of information that I purposefully neglected to put into the previous story (because handing out all the details too soon is no fun, it's like eating your whole Halloween stash in one night, getting sick, and not having any for later). This chapter is going to reveal a lot, as long as you know how to look for it (though I've been pretty explicit about the details, so I don't think much reading between the lines will be needed). I spent a long time fine-tuning the details, and I hope that you all like them. Oh, and a warning, this chapter has almost nothing at all to do with canon. Next chapter will start to dip back into it, but...a lot of extra stuff is going to go down this time around. I hope you enjoy it.
Today, there's a smile on my face. The last two and a half years have been…rough, to put it mildly. But it's the nostalgia at seeing home again that's really getting to me.
I wonder how much has changed?
I wonder if they really won't recognize me…
As we pass by a puddle on the ground, likely the result of the recent spring rains, I look at my reflection in the water. That's something I haven't done in a while.
Yeah…a lot has changed.
In the water, I see dark brown hair, the color of melted chocolate, braided around the crown of a pleasantly tanned face. And from that tanned face, two deep, emerald green eyes stare back out. The most astounding part of this transformation, is that now, I can almost stare Naruto right in the eyes. The pain was worth it after I shot up a whole foot in height. The changes to my hair and my eyes were just pleasant surprises.
If I didn't know better, I would say that I was starting at a female version of my father. Which would explain where all the height came from, he was not a short man. Not Jiraiya tall, but about six feet, at least, from what I remember of him. Of course, I'm eight inches under that, but still, at fifteen, that's pretty damn good if I do say so myself.
"Hey Ciara, what are you looking at?" The tall, lanky blond that I've grown up with turns around to raise a questioning eyebrow. "Whoa, when did you get so vain? You're staring at yourself more than Jiraiya's lady friends do."
I roll my eyes and leave the puddle behind. "Hey, it's not my fault that I'm still not…" I raise my arms and look at the now much longer limbs, then down to the curves that were most definitely not there when we left. "…used to this." I 'blossomed' about eight months ago, and everything just kinda filled in. Height, hips, bust, though that last part I could do with a little less. I mean, I'm not at Tsunade's level, thank the heavens, but…I definitely wouldn't want to grow that part of me any more.
Naruto had quite the growth spurt himself. He's still taller than me, of course, but just barely. Less than an inch. Which is weird, but then again, I suppose that asking Suzaku to help me speed through puberty by using chakra to overstimulate my hormones might have been cheating. But hey, I just didn't want to keep waiting until my body was fully mature, whenever that decided to happen. Having a tiny body did me no favors at all, so I took it upon myself to correct the issue. And it's had rather spectacular results.
Th pain, on the other hand, was horrendous. The body is not meant to grow so much in so little time. It's only thanks to Suzaku's healing abilities, and Some surprisingly effective massages from Naruto, that I managed to get through the worst of it.
I can see the gates ahead, and I shake a little as we get closer. "Naruto…I'm kinda scared."
"Of what?" He turns around, walking backwards so that we can see eye to eye. "It's just the Leaf. We haven't been home in ages."
"I know. It's just…what if everyone's changed? I mean…more than we expected." I know that people change over time, I just don't want to go home to a place I can hardly even recognize anymore. Then it wouldn't be home.
Naruto grins widely at me. "It'll be fine. I haven't changed that much, right? And I bet that Kakashi-Sensei is as perverted as ever. And Sakura is probably just as pretty as ever. And I bet Grandma Tsunade is hiding her age, like always. Kiba is definitely still hanging with that puppy of his, and Chouji is probably stuffing his face right now while Shikamaru lazes around looking at the clouds."
"Yeah, I guess that's all true." Naruto really does have a way of reassuring me when I feel uneasy or upset. "Well, looks like we're back." I look up at the gates, and Naruto laughs, turning back around as we walk back into the place we haven't seen in two and a half years. "Hey, do you two mind if I head off on my own? I've got a couple of people I want to track down."
"Yeah, yeah, go on." Jiraiya smirks at me. Something tells me that you're about to collect on a bet."
"You know it!" I dart off through the streets, heading for the building belonging to the Interrogation Division. If I'm going to find Akito, that's probably where he'll be.
Without bothering to knock, since honestly, it would serve Ibiki right for the hit he pulled during our Chunin Exams, I walk into the Interrogation Division and take a look around. It's rather empty right now, though I'm not entirely sure why.
Though it doesn't take long for me to track down Inoichi, Ino's father. "Hello, I'm looking for Akito Takara."
He looks up at me from his desk, where I'm pretty sure he's looking at some kind of case file for a high level interrogation, considering how quickly he shuts it. "And you are?"
I smirk widely. "Someone who plans on collecting on a bet I made with him and Hiro two and a half years ago. So tell me, where are my teammates?"
His eyes widen, and they flick over my features, before he breathes out slowly. "Ryouta…" Then, he coughs. "Sorry, uh, they're in the hospital, something about a training accident."
"Of course they are…" I shake my head wearily. "Without me to look after them, I should have known that this would happen." Those two always did like to get themselves into…accidents. "Thank you for your help, I'll be on my way now."
I step back outside, before shaking my head, and flickering to the hospital. There, I walk inside and straight to the front desk to see the nurse working there. She looks up at me and blinks. "Are you here to see someone?"
"Yes, I am. Could you please tell me what room Akito Takara and Hiro Kazaki are in? I heard that my two idiots got themselves into a bit of a mess." I'm going to have to wring it out of them later exactly what they pulled. But for now, I'll settle for visiting and berating them, and then collecting on that bet.
"Alright, name please?" She looks up at me expectantly.
I smirk slightly. "Ciara Shiryugu."
Her eyes bug out and her jaw drops. "You're back?"
"Apparently." I stifle the urge to laugh at her utter shock. "Just got back. So, tell me, where are my idiots?"
She quickly looks down at the room list. "Third floor, room three-four-two."
"Thank you." I wave back at her as I head for the stairs, climbing up to the third floor, and making sure to put my medical kit and tanto into my backpack, leaving it just outside the room in the hallway. After all, there's no need to give either of them any extra clues.
Stepping into the room, I notice that the two of them are bandaged fairly significantly, especially around the arms and shoulders. Despite that, though, the two of them are locked at the lips, and I fight the urge to roll my eyes. "Well, it looks like the two of you got banged up pretty good."
The two of them immediately break apart, and Akito hops back over to what I assume is his bed. "Sorry Ma'am, we were just…"
"Just having a little fun. Yes, I saw that." I raise an eyebrow at Hiro. "Now…do you mind telling me how this happened?"
He rubs the back of his head sheepishly with his non-bandaged arm. "Ah, well, you see, Akito and I were kinda training and he hit me with his lightning attack, and I hit him with my earth style, and…well, it got kinda messy from there."
"Yes…so I see." I sigh and shake my head. "Honestly. Boys are such a pain. Always getting themselves into trouble when it's really not necessary."
Akito smirks. "Well, we enjoy getting into trouble, always have."
"Yes…so I've gathered." It seems like the two of them haven't recognized me yet, which means that I win the bet. "What, no hugs?"
Hiro tilts his head kind of cutely, like a puppy. "Well, if a pretty nurse wants a hug, I'm not gonna say no."
This time, I do roll my eyes. "Hiro, if you're going to pretend to be straight, don't do it with your boyfriend in the room. Unless you've downgraded to friends with benefits, or upgraded somehow." They're sixteen, not legal to get married yet, but somehow, I doubt that kind of barrier would stop them for long.
Akito frowns, turning an analytical eye on me. "Do we know you?"
I smirk and walk up between there beds, before leaning down slightly and whacking them both in the head. "Yeah, you do, and now I know that I'm collecting on that little bet of ours, boys." Then, I smile softly t them as they rub their heads in confusion. "I missed you both so much…and I'm glad that you two haven't changed." I take a second look at them. "Well, you got bigger, but I guess that's only to be expected in two and a half years. After all…I got bigger too." I laugh at their shocked expressions. "Squad Twelve, forever, right?"
I half expect them to start shouting or jumping or something energetic. Instead, I end up pushed right into Akito's arms, with Hiro switching beds and squeezing from the opposite side. "Damn it, we missed you."
"Yeah…" Akito lifts his head up, then reaches for my almost elbow-length braid. "Your hair got a lot longer, and a lot darker too." He tugs on my hair, bringing my face closer to his as he observes my eyes. "Your eyes are darker too, but…they still have all that light in them, just like they always have. And you're so tall now!"
"Well…you didn't expect me to stay a small little ugly duckling forever, did you?" I know that I wasn't the cutest kid, but…I'm hoping that puberty helped to wipe away all the awkwardness from when I was little. "I had a little help from my feathered friend, but…this is what puberty did to me. I told you that's all I needed."
Hiro chuckles behind me. "No kidding. Damn, talk about the ugly duckling turning into a swan story. If I actually liked girls, I would definitely hit on you."
"Right." These two and their antics… "Anyway, I do believe that neither of you had any clue who I was when I walked through that door. Which means that I win our little bet."
Hiro pinches my cheek at that remark. "Hey, we weren't expecting you to change this much! Maybe get like half a foot taller, and fill out a bit but…" He backs off a bit, and I turn to see him with a rather sad smile on his face. "Our little teammate is all grown up now. It's weird."
"Jeez…" I reach up and ruffle his brown hair. "If you really want to see how much I've changed, then you've going to have to watch me fight. There will be a few things you recognize, but I promise that a lot has changed. I'm not the little girl who left here two and a half years ago." I'm a dragon, and I'm going to let them all hear me roar.
Well, as soon as I figure out how to do that damn technique.
"In that case…" Akito's gray eyes sparkle a little at me. "I guess it's time to make good on that bet. After all, you can't be the only one on our team still a chunin."
My mouth nearly drops open. "What!? I mean, I expected Akito, but you too, Hiro!?"
"Ouch…" He winces comically. "That hurts. Why did you think I wouldn't make jounin?"
I turn to look at him with a blank gaze. "Do you really want me to answer that question?" That earns me a slight elbow to the ribs. "Okay, okay, fine, you're a jounin, awesome."
"Thank you." Hiro holds out his injured arm for me and grins. "Do you still have that healing touch of yours? Cause I think we could both use it before we head off to talk to some people."
"No doubt…" I shake my head, smiling wryly as pure white chakra emanates from my hands. I've gotten better at using my own chakra for medical ninjutsu over the past couple of years, so much so that Suzaku no longer needs to help me. And that's why it no longer turns the golden color it used to. I pass my hands over his arm, feeling the tears and sprains. "Jeez, you really messed yourself up, didn't you? I mean, it's nothing I can't handle, but still…" To be honest, after the incident with Naruto going four-tails on Jiraiya, there's not much I can't handle in terms of injuries. As long as there's no dismemberment involved, I should be able to handle just about anything. I had to with Naruto, after all.
"Yeah, I guess." A minute later, he pulls his arm back and flexes it, removing the bandages to inspect it. "Wow, it's perfect!" He pats me on the head again, which I think is supposed to tease him about still being a couple of inches taller than me. "Looks like you picked up a few new tricks."
"Of course I did." I turn my healing hands onto Akito next, letting the glow envelop his arm, as well as his shoulder, and some of his torso. "Naruto gets into more accidents than the two of you, so I had to learn fast how to treat serious injuries. Our training wasn't…easy, to put it mildly." And considering that it absolutely wrecked our old clothes, that much should be clear.
Now that I'm complaining now. After all, I would have seriously grown out of my old stuff. Which is why I'm perfectly happy with the open-backed crimson halter top with its detachable blue sleeves, my new royal blue capri, and the matching boots with a little surprise embedded into the bottoms.
After a couple of minutes of tending to Akito, his condition seems to have improved greatly. He removes his bandages, flexing the muscles of his arm and shoulder carefully. "Well, it feels like everything is moving the way it should be." He reaches for his shirt, pulling it back on. "Alright, as promised, I'm going to go talk to Ibiki. I'm pretty sure that we can have something set up by tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" That's awfully fast. "Well, if you think so, alright. But don't rush on my account."
Akito pushes back the sheets of his bed, getting t his feet and putting his sandals back on. "Nah, it's no trouble. Besides, Hiro and I were planning on it anyway, even if we won the bet."
Of course they were…that sounds like just the thing that Hiro and Akito would do. "Alright, fine, set it up." Then, I smirk. "But know this, if anyone tries to fight me, I'm not going to lose. I have a few tricks up my sleeve that you've never even seen me whip out before."
"We wouldn't expect anything less." Akito pulls me off the bed, then nods to Hiro. "Get ready, we're going out."
Hiro scrambles to get his clothes and shoes back on, and I fidget a little. "Do you think that the others will recognize me at all? I know that I look really different now."
He laughs and gives me a soft hug. "Probably not, though Hinata and Neji might. After all, your chakra's still the same. Everyone else is going to be so surprised, though."
"How about we get everyone together then?" Hiro pulls on his second shoe. "Team Gai is out of the village right now, but our whole class is here right now. Everyone's got a break between missions, so we should all get together for lunch tomorrow."
"That sounds like a great idea." Akito grins. "This means that Naruto is back as well, which means we're all together again. This deserves a bit of a celebration."
"Yeah…all back together." Except for Sasuke… This is far from the first time that his image has flickered across my mind. And every time, I worry about him. I do not trust Orochimaru to take care of him, even if he does just want to steal Sasuke's body. So, I often find myself worrying over his health, even though I haven't seen him in years.
Akito tugs on my braid. "Hey, don't make that face. Today is a happy day. We an think about the serious stuff later."
I blink, then smile. "Right. Now, I think that the two of you have some people to go see, and I have an uncle and cousin to drop in on." I'd been planning on visiting Konohamaru and his dad, but my teammates were the top of my priority list.
"Alright, then let's go!" Hiro races to the window, opening it, and jumping right out. And why does that not surprise me?
"Come on." Akito tugs me towards the window, before jumping out of it, himself.
Rolling my eyes, I follow after them as we race across the rooftops, and they wave goodbye to me as we split up, them each heading to talk to their superiors, and me to talk to Konohamaru.
I should have known that the kid would be easy to find. The brat takes after Naruto so much that he's off causing a ruckus. And he's still got those two accomplices of his. And from the looks of it…they're genin now.
So, I drop in almost literally on top of them while their sensei is lecturing them. "Hey kids, long time no see."
Konohamaru's attention immediately shoots to me. "Big Cousin!" And it's less than a second before I have the kid's arms wrapped around my waist. Then, he looks up at me with big eyes. "You got…really tall. Just like the boss!"
"Yeah, I did." I try not to laugh at the observation. "I guess that means you've seen Naruto, then?"
He nods. "Yeah, I even showed him my Sexy Jutsu!"
And…the palm goes to the face. "Of course you did…" Shaking that of, I look down and smile. "So, did you guys take care of my stuff like you promised?"
He nods quickly, his expression becoming even brighter. "Yeah, we did! And Dad said that he and some of my cousins from the Sarutobi Clan even went to your house to clean it up! He said that little apartment was too small for you, and that you should get your house back. And then, they went up to that mountain with the dragon temple on it, you know, that one that we're not allowed to go to up on Mount Tenryuu?"
"Temple?" That sounds strange. I've never heard of a temple up there before. "Are…you sure that it's a temple?"
He nods vigorously. "Yeah, it's like those old stories we heard when we were kids, about the dragons who lived there and protected the country from invaders!"
Okay…this is sounding a little familiar, but… I look to his sensei. "Do you mind if I borrow the kids for a bit? I can get them out of your hair for a little while, so you should go and get yourself something to eat."
Their sensei, Ebisu, I think his name was, glares slightly at me. Then, he pushes his glasses up and sniffs. "Very well, I will take the chance to fetch myself some dinner. Be careful with those three, they cause a lot of trouble."
"I will, don't worry." I have more than enough confidence that I can handle my little cousin. "So…" I look down at the three of them. "Why don't we go somewhere, and you can tell me all about these stories you heard?"
"Alright!" Konohamaru doesn't even wait for me to suggest a place, he just drags me off towards the ramen shop for a bite to eat. Looks like I'm treating.
As we walk in, Teuchi nods to us with a smile. "Welcome. I haven't seen you around here before. Is it your first time?"
I hold back a snicker and shake my head. "No, it's not. But the last time I had your ramen was when I was sitting in here with Iruka and Naruto, back right before we left."
Click…click…click…then the light-bulb seems to glow. "Ciara!?" I smile in response. "Well, now, it's good to see you back. You've sure grown up!"
"Yes, I have." I sit in the seat I always seem to take, Konohamaru on one side of me, his friends on the other. "So what stories did you want to tell me, Konohamaru?"
His eyes light up as he places his order, before turning to me while waiting for his food. "Okay, so I heard this one story when I was little that ever since a really long time ago, way before the founding of the village, that dragons used to live on that mountain just outside the village, and that's why it's called Mount Tenryuu. And Dad told me that those dragons that lived up there married some human women, and the women had babies that could turn into dragons!"
That's…eerily accurate. "And your Dad told you that story?" He must have heard it from my aunt.
Konohamaru nods. "Yeah, it's a bedtime story from when I was little. But after hearing about that big building with the dragon statues in it, I remembered it and asked Dad to tell it to me again. A bunch of the kids we went to the academy with know the story as well."
"It's not a bedtime story…" I had no idea that somehow, it had turned into a story to tell kids, but I suppose that I should correct a few things. "It's a legend…much, much older than the Leaf Village, or any of the Five Great Nations."
Moegi's eyes light up and it's like she's throwing sparkles at me. "You know it too!?"
I nod. "Yes…it was something my parents told me too…a very long time ago." Ten years ago…and for the five years before that. "Do you want to hear the original version?"
Konohamaru frowns. "Original version? What do you mean the original version. Shouldn't that be like, in a book or something?"
"No, it's not. At least…I don't think it is." Really, it's written on the walls of the 'temple' that Konohamaru is talking about. "So is that a yes, then?"
The three of them look at me, eyes wide as their noodles arrive.
"Alright, then…" I take a deep breath and close my eyes. "It began thousands of years ago, when spirits and creatures of all kinds still walked the earth, swam the oceans, and flew through the skies. Humans were only one of many creatures, and not all that powerful. Long before the first shinobi ever walked the earth, these creatures ruled the world. Some benevolent, some not. And while some of them were content to kill and eat humans, there were some who protected them instead. In this land that we call the Land of Fire, the dragons reigned supreme, protecting everything within the borders of their realm."
The whole shop goes quiet, even Teuchi and Ayame seem to be listening in on the story.
"When wars raged, and the creatures began to kill one another, the dragons banded together to protect their race. Many were killed in the fighting, but eventually, peace was restored. Although, by the end of the fighting, many of those creatures that humans once called gods had been wiped out. Those that remained retreated from the world, secluding themselves in safe places far away from one another. Except…for the four dragons who remained. They settled on a mountain overlooking a valley. In that valley was a settlement of humans. Lonely, these four dragons took on human form for a little while, just a human lifetime. And in that time, they ventured out into the human settlement over and over, curious about the lives of these mortals who would not live as long as they would."
There's a quiet slurping of noodles, but no other noise. Kids are so easily transfixed by stories.
"In the settlement, these four dragons found that they had been enchanted by the kindness and beauty of four women, four sisters who were as different as could be. The first had eyes the color of the sky, and hair as bright as sunlight. The second had cherry-red hair, and a golden gaze that pierced any who looked upon her. The third had hair as black as a raven's feathers, with a silvery gaze that put storm clouds to shame. The fourth had a gaze of emerald green, her eye glittering like jewels under hair of ebony. Each dragon was transfixed by a single woman, and with sweet words and promises whisked them all away to the mountain they called their home."
"Then what happened?" Moegi tugs gently on my sleeve.
I smile at her. She must be a romantic. "They were happy for many years, and eventually, the dragons revealed themselves to their lovers. But rather than fear in their gazes, the eyes of their women held only love. It was then that they married, their wives bearing them many many children. And like their fathers, these children were born with the ability to take on the form of either a dragon or a human. These children grew up to be strong and kind, and they too took lovers, husbands, and wives from the various human settlements that began to appear across the land. And after taking in life-mates for nearly six generations, the now large family of dragons, and their many descendants secluded themselves on the mountain they had long since called their home, and vowed to watch over and protect the land from their palace there. And ever since, the descendants of those dragons have lived on Mount Tenryuu, watching over the people of the Land of Fire, aiding in their battles, but preferring to encourage peace over war. Eventually, they faded into legend, content to do so, until they were no more." I take a deep breath as I conclude the story, and then sit silently and wait.
Konohamaru's mouth hangs wide open. "That's…way longer than the story I heard. And it's…" He picks at the few noodles left in his bowl. "It's kinda sad…"
"I suppose it is…" I look up to see Teuchi handing me a bowl of my own. "Thank you."
"No problem." He stands back to let me eat it in peace. And the ramen in this place is as good as ever. I personally prefer barbecue myself, and peaches above all else, but…ramen is nice too. I just can't stomach as much of it as Naruto can.
Udon shifts in his seat, before reaching around Moegi to poke me. "Um…excuse me, but…do you know what happened to the dragons?"
I stop eating and raise an eyebrow. "Well, later parts of the legend say that the four dragons decided to give up their eternal youth and burned their bodies when their lovers died, that way, they would die together."
Udon shakes his head. "No, I mean…the dragons who came later. You said that they still lived on the mountain. So…where are they?"
I put down my chopsticks, feeling very cold and sad inside. "They…were caught up in a battle…" If you can call a bunch of assassins sneaking around in the middle of the night a battle. "After thousands of years of breeding with humans, very few of the dragons' descendants still had the ability to become dragons. Until eventually there were only a few dragons left. And those who remained…died." Then, I shake my head, trying to clear it as I pick my chopsticks back up. "Anyway, that's how the story goes. It's not the happiest story by the end, but there's plenty of other stories associated with the dragons. So I'm sure that you can find plenty of legends about their adventures."
"Okay!" Konohamaru brightens up immediately, and his energy is contagious, infecting both of his friends. "We'll look in some old books for some stories, and next time, I'll tell you some too, okay!?"
I finish off my bowl and smile at my little cousin. "That sounds great. Now, why don't you three go find your sensei, and I'll go talk to my uncle, alright? This round is on me."
Konohamaru grins. "Okay! See-ya later Big Cousin!" He leaps off his seat, his long blue scarf flying in the wind as he takes off, followed by his two friends.
Leaving money for Teuchi, I say my goodbyes and leave the restaurant. And I suppose that I should have expected it, that talking about him would summon Hajime Sarutobi. "Hello, Uncle."
"Hello, Lady Ciara." He smiles gently at me. "I see that you told Konohamaru the family legend."
"Seems like I wasn't the only one." I glare pointedly at him. "Thought that I should at least give him the right version." Then, I cross my arms. "So, what's this I hear about a temple with dragon statues in it, and my house getting cleaned up?"
Surprisingly, he offers me a short bow. "While you were away, and attention was away from you, I brought a few of my clansmen to your estate to do some work on it. All of the buildings are intact, but…there was quite a bit of cleanup to do in terms of the grounds, and the floors."
Because no one has cut the grass in ages, and there was blood all over the grass and floors. "I see…" Still, I'm a little wary. "Is it livable?"
He nods. "If you like, you may move back in there. It would be more comfortable than that apartment of yours. I have also taken the liberty of consolidating your clan's funds into a single account for you. It is…not insignificant."
I would imagine not, since even the most distant branch families were at the very least comfortable. Money had never been an issue for any member of the Shiryugu Clan. Especially not, seeing as the entire estate is situated directly over a huge deposit of gold that provided the startup for a vast fortune. "I see, thank you." I don't know what I'll do with that much money, but…it's not like I'm going to retire, just because I can. I would get bored.
And besides…I have people to protect. And there's always a certain someone to rescue.
Uncle Hajime pats me on the shoulder. "Are you ready to go home?"
Home…where all of my fondest memories are, as well as my worst. But it is the place that my family has been forever. It's the place I know I belong, no matter what happened there. It is where I was born, and where my family is, even if they're not physically with me anymore.
With a wistful smile, I nod. "Yeah, I'm ready."
I hear almost what sounds like a sigh of relief. "Very well, then I'll bring by your things later. First, I'll inform Lady Hokage that the Shiryugu princess is returning home."
Shiryugu princess, huh? It's been a very long time since anyone has sincerely called me that. Proper or not, it never really felt right to refer to myself that way. It kind of reminds me of Neji, who insists on addressing Hinata as Lady because of her status as the Hyuga Clan's princess.
Slowly, I look up above the buildings, towards a mountain that looks like it's towering over the village. It's not right next to the wall or anything, it's just that large. Well, it's now or never…
Time to finally go home.
