(JK!!) Wordzzz – 300+The ground held so many scents. The bitter, earthy smell of dirt, the sweet tang of grass, and numerous varieties of animal musk all swirled together in a glorious symphony just below Jaden’s muzzle. All this information came easily to a wolf’s nose. The hard part was not picking it up but sorting out the mess.
Animals all had their different smells. Luckily for his travel companion, the brute was a master hunter. He wondered how fine of a huntress she was. Wasn’t it simple to exchange one form of combat for another? Then again, the sort of combat X’yrin prided herself in wasn’t to kill, but simply to fight. Every time he brought up his bow or his blades, she seemed uninterested. It confused Jaden when he thought about it as he did often. While recuperating from the various burses the Ichikan could always find left about his body by the woman, the answer never seemed to come. He had been trained to kill. Wining was invigorating but killing your opponent often only leaves your heart beating. You can not claim a dead enemy victorious therefore, you are the victor.
The man quickly tried to put these thoughts out of his mind before long just as he did with all of the like. He was not a killer anymore. Ichika was of peace and now he was of Ichika. He hadn’t taken life since Zev. That was eleven months ago… strange how it seemed so easy to recall. It was not the first time Jaden had almost lost his life. The long scar that ran down his ribcage almost stung remembering that sword. If only Zev had been fighting to win and NOT kill. Oh, how much easier that would have been.
Why was it so hard not to think of this! The Shishen sat and scratched at his scar with his hind leg. So where exactly are we headed, X’yrin?Her name suddenly felt big and unnecessary in his mouth but talking to her would distract him enough so as to let him get back to hunting. He had momentarily forgotten about the other’s ravenous hunger and quickly resumed scanning about the ground for the scent of prey. You spoke of wanting to show me the way of the Nomad. Where, exactly, would a Nomad’s destination be?
Jaden does. "Jaden speaks." Jaden thinks.
