Suzuki

Look left. Look right. Alrighty! Nobody was here! I jumped off the boat and onwards to a brand new start on a new kingdom! Who am I? It was not important! Now that I am here, I could be anybody I wanted to. A fresh new start for a travelling musician!

I totally did not snuck in and out a boat hahaha…

I played my mandolin, traveled "cheap" across the sea. Hmm, I need a new stage name. I know!

Su.

Zu.

Ki !

That sounds so cool! Aaah!

From now on, I shall be called such.

I played my mandolin, travelled through town, maybe find a nice tree to rest on for the night in the forest. Home does not have to be expensive. I can sleep anywhere. Like now, I slept on a tree, singing my tunes to the lovely birds and bees. BEES! AAAAAAAAaaahh!

Ow!

I bumped a… tower thing ?

What was this thing ? So weird. I touched it. I poked it. It is too tall to be a house. It has a roof though.

"Heeey! Is anybody here ?!" I shouted.

Eh. I went inside anyway. It was an adventure waiting,yes ?

Stairs. Hundreds thousands of stairs in spiral. It is so cool! I spun around and around thinking it will be a cool background of me singing in it. Sing! Yes. I feel inspired.

I sang a playful tune. Like dancing children on little rainy days, spinning to the tune, some jumped to the beat. Hey!

Lets sing! Lets sing! Ah!

A toast of symphony.

Lets dance! Lets dance! Ah!

Celebrate the melody.

Remember times.

So good and fine.

Lets sing and dance. Yeah!

Remember all good times!

Clapclapclapclap!

Thank you, me! No wait. That was not me!

"You sing well." a voice said. Patting my back

"Hahaha! Well,gee! Thanks! I'm awesome minstrel, Suzuki. What is yours ?" I shook the stranger's hand.

"Yamato. Yamato no Orochi…"

The second he said that. The white haired dude turned into a snake. A big white snake! Isn't that cool ?!

"WHOA! That is cool!" Is he even real ? I gotta touch him! Wow! Real snake skin! I mean, look at the size! Imagine the profit of shedding these! People back home would love a snake skin bag or something!

"Erhm.. excuse me ?"

I looked at the snake. Oh right! Manners. "Sorry. Sorry. I.. I was probably invading your privacy or something. But dude! You're a giant snake!" I cheered. I mean… who else would not get excited over finding a giant snake ?!

"Well, no.. I mean.."

"Yamato a roachy, yes ?"

"N-no… it was Orochi."

"Do you play any musical instruments ?" I waved my mandolin.

"Well, I played the western instrument called a sitar…" Yamato said.

"Great! How do you feel of a duet ? Yama and Suzu ? Or Suzu and Yama ? Yamazu ?" I am so excited. A duet with a local musician! AND OR giant snake! So exciting!

"Uuh… alright I guess ? Let me shrink to my human size and get myself ready first. You can sit in that bench there and be comfortable…" Woot! Yamato seemed to be such a nice host! Score!

"Hey. Can I stay here for the night ? I'll pay rent by making dinner~" I offered.

Yamato laughed. "I guess so. Or you can be my dinner."

Hahaha. He was funny. I strummed my mandolin as I waited for Yamato to finish dressing up. I can't wait for our duet performance!
