"Alright, are you ready to go?" Sakusy asked. It was late in the night, but the two wanted to go as soon as they could. The full moon had past already, the half moon started tonight. Nami knew that she was safe for another month, but wither this was a good thing or bad, she hadn't decided yet. She knew if they had a fight on their hands, which they most likely would, she would need his help. But without the full moon, he was all but useless.

"Ya, I'm ready, lets go," Nami replied, hoisting her pack onto her shoulders. They wanted to travel light, only food and a bed roll with them. And of course her sword. The Tetisaiga she possessed was created from the shards of her father's sword, the Tetsuiga. As they walked down the road Nami silently prayed that they would be alright.

They had walked for over a week, with little trouble. A small fight here and there, nothing her phoenix strike couldn't handle. Finally they had managed to get a break. Nami had found an old farmer who was willing to trade two horses for a days worth of work, so at sunset that evening the two has ridden off into the sunset.

Nearly a month latter and they had just entered the province. Wow she thought, this place is creepy…the perfect place for the wolves to hid.

"Nami, look there! It's the castle!" Sakusy shouted. "If we keep this up, we'll be there by tomorrow night"

They had finally done it. They were on their way. They would find out if they had what it took to defeat their enemy, or if they too, would be defeated.
