Snippet #867877

As Kanagaki enters the village a slight breeze blows past rustling the leaves on the trees and moving the ones on the ground the day is early and people should be just rising and the sounds of the town correspond mostly silence with a faint sound of human activity. He sees the town as being quite peaceful and maybe a place to settle down but he knows he won’t be able to do that until he’s at least found out who his parents were and to be honest he would probably get board staying in a village with nothing to do. While he stands there in the middle of the road with his head in the clouds he seems oblivious to his surroundings especially the horse and carriage heading straight towards him in fact he’s so oblivious to it he only notices it as the corner of the carriage slams into his side making him spin, stager then fall on his back. As he sits him self up he sees that the carriage hadn’t even stop to see if he was alright and just kept on going it seemed to be in quite the hurry and looked like it was heading in the direction of a palace which seemed to towered over the other structures of the town even thought it was quite a distance away. Kanagaki thought of an excuse of an excuse for not going after the carriage while getting himself up off the ground but he didn’t have enough time to do so because a few early risers had seen the incident from balconies of buildings or windows feeling slightly embarrassed because the accident was entirely his fault he finished standing up brushed the dirt off himself and proceeded to walk away calmly. After walking a short distance he turned into a back alley and emerging from the alley found himself on a street with quite a few people on it mostly stall owners and people making there way to work but it was noisier than the previous areas of the village he had been in not that it bothered him he actually preferred it that way because as he walked he could listen out for rumours so as he walked he did just that and the rumour he heard the most was of a samurai in pitch black armour who had just entered the town today that part of the rumour was always the same but other parts weren’t such as one rumour said he was eight foot tall and carried a sword the size of a man another said he was a legendary samurai who had slain a dragon. Not knowing which if any of these rumours were true he thought it best that if he meets the man in question he should probably stay out his way because if some of these rumours are true it would be quite a fearsome fight probably resulting in me being the loser or the dead one. Kanagaki felt a shiver run down his spine from imagining himself being killed by a huge man with a massive sword or being slain by the legendary dragon slayer. Then snapping him self out of his day dream he realised that the rumours might be wrong he may be just some kid in armour trying to make a name for himself or the rumours might be fabricated altogether Kanagaki laughed to himself and decided he would get some tea and what luck there was a tea shop right at the end of the street. So Kanagaki started to walk down the street towards the tea shop he smiled as he thought about the black armoured samurai and the carriage that knocked him down and said in his head who cares about the carriage it probably didn’t stop because it had something important to do and this black samurai guy ill probably never meet him. Kanagaki’s smile became bigger as he neared the tea shop and smelled the wonderful aromas coming from it, he wondered why he was being so nervous before, he chuckled and thought what could possibly happen to me in a tea shop any way.
