Inherited Will, Destiny of the Age

Chapter Fifty-Three

Ninjin: Traveling

We buried the people that were left on Isla de Navi as quickly as we could so that we could quickly get to the next island and leave the sadness behind us. We made sure Dan didn't see, because we didn't want him crying again. Paulie ended up crying after he put the body of a little girl in one of the graves. None of us liked it, but it was better than just leaving them there.

Kappa made sure he was able to chart a course as soon as the Log Pose reset and we made good time getting to Price. When we were there, Tashigi found an Eternal Pose to some place called Yuuenchi. She talked with Rika for a long time about going there. She ended up deciding that we would go. Tamanegi and Paulie weren't really happy with it. I didn't care, just as long as we still got closer to our goal.

While we sailed between Price and Yuuenchi, I made sure to train Dan twice as hard. He was one of us for good now and that meant that he needed to watch himself. People knew we were on the move and those people weren't always the nicest.

Aisa liked to join in on training sessions too. At least, I'm sure she liked it since she kept on coming. She's really good in hand-to-hand combat, so I was glad to have her there. I got to show her some of the techniques that I learned from my sister and she got to show Dan and me some of the stuff she learned in her village. It sounded like her village trained their children to be warriors and hunters pretty much since day one. The way she talked to us made it sound like she was teaching us huge secrets that she wasn't supposed to know. She also knew a lot about medicine. Maybe, she wasn't supposed to be a warrior. I don't know and I don't want to ask her. She was not sad or angry or happy, but… I don't know. I never was someone that could tell what girls were thinking.

I could tell that everyone else knew we were going to danger too. Tashigi was practicing almost all the time. Her and Kappa sparred a lot. Moda baked a bit more than usual. Rika, Chabo, Piiman and Tamanegi hid while Paulie stomped around all tense and nervous. I think we all were to be honest.

I can't wait for this to be over.
