Snippet #946157

Roku sprinted along a cliff side, his teammates right behind him as he ran. Not much to drink around here, he thought. He stayed close to the cliff to take advantage of the shade it provided - not much of a breeze, but at least it was a bit cooler here. He squinted and saw a hint of blue in the distance - and oasis? Might be a mirage, but better than waiting against rocks all day. He ran toward it with Sora and Touma right behind him.

He let out some chakra as he ran, forming a thin cloud of moisture around him - enough to keep sunburns and the worst of the heat at bay, anyway. Thankfully the tiny sparks that ran through it were small, hard to see, though they did glow - still, he supposed, he wouldn't need the cloud at night if that oasis turned out to be real. Though others might be headed for the same spot - if they beat him there...

He began to pick up the pace - though he kept it on a leash, last thing he needed was to kick up a dust cloud. As he approached the oasis, he wondered if anyone had beat him there, even with his speed. If they were close enough...nah, even at a full sprint it would be hard to make it there before him, even with a head start. Besides, he thought with a grin, company would certainly make things interesting - especially if they had the right scroll handy.
