Snippet #8372

Hoshika noticed the small figure on the wall long before she threw the water. The small girl, looking about sixteen in age, played with the element like it was a toy. She laughed and threw the balls of water at the two warriors, and Hoshika frowned slightly. Had the girl no respect for her elders? She made a mental note to keep an eye on the child, the one that if she remembered right was called Siiki. Then the one called Deacon was launching himself into the air splitting the water into tiny bullets that were sent flying towards her. In an instant she had launched herself into a dive roll out of the way, making it just in time before the water hit the wall with hundreds of tiny 'pops'

"Whew." She sighed silently, keeping the dark on her as she crept through the shadows towards the exit, her muscles burning as the result of a sudden movement after so much stillness. Deacon made a comment on hating kids, then they began to walk out of the courtyard in the direction of the training grounds. She watched, waiting until the girl dropped back down off the wall, before stepping into the light. She wasnt doing anything wrong, but people in general didnt like finding out someone had been watching them. Hoshika sighed softly, taking quick steps towards the eating area. She needed nutrition to make it through the day.

I frown slightly as Deacon deflects my shot in the expert way he always does to any blow. He is such a good fighter, he kind of scares me at times. He dosnt even look at me, only comment on hating kids and leaves. I frown to myself. Im not a kid! Im just not a robot with no humor, like some of the older ninjas here. They just need to stop being so serious all the time. I sigh, calming myself. I carefully slide down the wall, dropping the ten feet to the ground and rolling with the momentum. I stand up and realize I left the bucket up there. I move the wind with my mind, and the bucket blows down, breaking with the fall. I sigh, picking up the pieces and tossing them into the woods. Im outside the compound now, where Im free of the watchful eye of the older ninjas. I run out into the woods until I come to a small clearing. I go down on my knees there, closing my eyes and beginning to meditate.
