Snippet #2116862

Kasumi lay against the tree, breathing softly as she let her mind wander. The sky was filled with clouds, and it was raining rather hard. Lightning flashed apoccasionally through the leaves of the trees, and Kasumi thought that maybe it hadn't been such a good idea to take shelter under a tree tonight. She was pretty sure that she was close enough to a village, but she wasn't sure where or which one.

Suddenly she shot to her feet, her spear held in a defensive ready stance. There was nothing but the sound of rain and the clap of thunder. She slowly lowered the tip to the ground, still suspicious as she scanned her surroundings. She had felt a sort of bad... Feeling. A premonition of sorts, maybe. Whatever it was, she didn't like it. Maybe she should have headed to the village for the night, but she knew that it had a protective barrier that warned the people of the village of intruders in their turf, and she hadn't wanted to deal with it at the time... She shivered. She would take her chances with the village rather than the malignant feeling that had just assaulted her.
