Morals and Ethics

[Hyzenthlay]

Nkomis smiled shielding her head from a new and refreshing shower, the smell of a rich Yew sap filled the air. The sodden musk of the autumn leaves filled her nostrils with every breath and the grandeur of the forest floor filled her heart with happiness. The drplets fell to the earth and hit an oval around her head giving her a look that made it seem as if she were walking within a glass container.

The canopy of the forest dropped beautiful shades of red, yellows and a deep green to the floor. Nkomis had never felt so at peace, the place was certainly not what she had been expecting. She had fought in some wonderous places, but none had taken her breath away quite how this picturesque sight had. The wonder around every corner and the character in every tree made her mood lift with every step. Until, she had completely forgotten about the strange letter she had recieved from an unnamed host just hours before. It had summoned her here but right now she was too involved with the landscape to ponder on why. She felt herself tarrying to gaze at the wonderous sights but pushed herself forward towards a goal. One that she wasnt sure about yet.

Her hair glittered on the rays of the twilight sun, a golden hue on the horizon exaggerated her hairs tone and gave a flair of extra beauty to her face. The gentle shower stopped and, as she passed an old gnarled oak tree on her left, a giant lake sprang into view. He heart skipped as she watches short waves of ripples break the silky surface, then, her heart dropped. She felt somebody watching her and she knew the sensation, she'd grown keen to it's grasp.

She turned and glanced around, to her right a mighty castle stood it's wall illuminating the evening sky. She withdrew her Daito and took a few steps forward, though, warily. Then, ahead of her, she saw a girl. Fairly young. Nkomis made her way towards the figure to better grasp her appearance as, in this harsh and fading light, it was near impossible to identify her.

A gentle breeze blew making Nkomis' hair dance and sweep to the left and as she drew nearer to the woman she spoke,

"Did you send me the letter?"

She waited for a reply holding her katana in he left hand and running her right through her hair to flatten it and make it near again. She stared at the lady with wonder. Just exactly who could she be, what did she want with Nkomis so late into the day in teh middle of a forest. More importantly, however, was she here about silver?
