You awake to a slight headache in the midst of a nighttime sky. Underneath the luminous rays of the moon your figure emerges into a land of unknown origin - around you are creatures resembling that of fire flies, floating about with no distinct pattern glowing in and out around a 100 meter or so radius.

Beneath a sheet of golden grains a black silhouette shifts in image ahead of you. In the hues of a regular man or woman the cloaked figure would have seemingly have been trapped in the confines of a sandstorm - but you know better being that you are a shinobi.

Whether this 'thing' was a male or female would remain unknown to you yet in reality. . a monster lurked within the night sky waiting for a tasty treat.

[KEITH]

Nighttime had set upon the land of wind, in most of inhabitants had been in bed asleep, awaiting for the new day to arise, so they could continue on with their everyday lives. Though, the shinobi who would protect the gates to the village would still be up, and on watch out. A young male had strolled through the village streets, heading toward the gates. He was unable to sleep, due to weird dreams he had been having lately, and a mild headache, that wouldn't let him return to his slumber.

He thought he would just need some fresh air and open space, he thought that maybe that would clear his mind. He had worn his normal robes, to protect his body from the heat and the sand, though; he had chosen not to wear a turban to protect his head. Once he had arrived at the gates, the watchmen shinobi had turned their attention to them. As he walked, his eyes would only look down at his shadow before him, before he raised his head to meet their gaze.

His golden hues staring gently into their eyes, before he would begin to speak.

("Oh, hey...I just wanted to go out for a midnight stroll, guys. I won't go far, and I'll be back soon. Trust me.")

He said to them with a calm tone, though, his voice was naturally deep. Upon his request, they had decided to let him pass through, with the back of his robe dragging along the ground. He had eventually made his way out, deep into the desert of the land of wind, not knowing where he was. Though, his headache had been slowly beginning to life as he traveled, though, he would then halt his advancement, seeing a figure ahead of him.

They were cloaked, concealing their identity away from him, while also being somewhat hidden away by a rising sandstorm around them, though, he was uncertain if it would eventually arise to him. If so, the robes he had worn had a hood to it, and if needed, he would surely use it to cover his head and eyes. To not be blinded by the sand. Though, the cloth would be thin enough for him to still have visage through it. He waited for the person to make an action, or say something before he would continue.

Within his guts, he had received a weird feeling from the presence of this one, and stayed on his toes, due to possibly being an enemy, and having to react fast. He would have been about twenty meters away from where he had stood, and his hues couldn't do nothing but focus upon him, though, while his visual sense was upon the cloaked figure, his other senses were elsewhere, focusing on the area.

If you understand everything
- you must be misinformed.

Meeting with the nature of a demonic deity was something that most shinobi had never encountered. For you – this was the chance of a lifetime. The Jounin of sunagakure whom greeted this presence with a light of his own would find that a journey was now beginning to unfold beneath his very feet. Underneath the beasts’ cowl a disastrous hunger for blood boiled as the creature revealed itself in the manifestation of a wind gale. From every angle sand would be shot out as the bold Rekka trekked within the path of a monster. The cloak which had beforehand been used as a curtain to this atrocious beast would softly float to the ground behind it – the classification would surely fit as your eyes fell upon a giant black four-legged beast at a total of twenty meters in height, ten in width.

Bright white eyes sitting within the center of this beasts face would glance towards you as its’ red tongue crept through the crevices of its demonic looking teeth with a sniveling growl. If you listened carefully you could hear the beasts’ laughter as it seemed to have targeted you. It would stand on its hind legs as it greeted you from thirty meters away with saliva dripping from the base of its chin. As your eyes met with its’ a feeling of paranoia would enter your every nerve as it let out a monstrous roar. The very sound of this beast would cause you to stammer in step if you attempted to move in this instant – in the eyes of the illusive puppeteer a grin would emerge from behind a veil as he began the introduction into his world.

“Aheh, I’m going to have some fun with you kid..”

The voice would boom from every angle around you. The fire flies around your figure would brightly shine in and out as he spoke as if they were floating speakers to the ventriloquists’ voice.

[KEITH]

A strong gale had been released from the area of the cloaked figure, and with it gale, it had lifted and blown out the sand around it in every direction. The sand would reach the area of the male, though, he didn't use his hood to cover his eyes, and he simply raised his left arm. And used his forearm to cover his eyes from being blinded by the sand, and closing them until he had felt that the wind was dying out. It had carried his long hair when the wind had blown, carrying it gracefully along the wind current and through the sand.

When the sand had begun to settle, his visage would become clear, and his eyes had sat upon a creature of the likes he had never seen before. His eyes slowly made their way up the creature’s body, settling upon the white eyes of the beast, slightly shaken by its appearance, though he couldn't falter. Whatever the thing was, he couldn't let it shake him, though his appearance was more than disgusting to the young male. Once the creature would begin to roar, it would send a shock throughout the male's nervous system, bring him to the reality that this creature before himself wasn't anything natural.

Naturally, he would feel fear and panic, though his discipline as a shinobi had stopped him from continuing to do such a thing, for those types of things make one become narrow minded. Through the echoing roaring in the young male's head that had come from the mouth of the beast, he could hear laughter in it. And then, he had heard it begin to speak, though the voice would seem to come from the fire flies that had surrounded him. He had prepared himself for the worst, keeping himself at the ready for any sudden attacks. It had seemed that the beast had other intentions instead of standing in front of the young male and looking pretty.

What made it a little bit scarier as that the beast was able to talk, though, if it did have some intelligence, that would mean that it might be able to understand him if he had spoken to it. It was worth a shot, to say the least.

("What an incredible creature...who might you be?")

He said, wondering if the beast would humble him with an answer of sort, though he didn't look like the type that would do such a thing. After he had spoken, his body began to relax, and he slowly began to unnerve as the moments would past. His mind had also wondered about the fire flies, and what significant purpose that they had in all of this, he would have to take in everything around him. Try to figure out why this beast was here, why did the sound of the voice come from all around him, and not just from the direction of the beast.

It was all questionable, and he thought that he ought to keep and open-mind about everything that was going on now. His senses may be deceived, but his heart, mind, and soul wouldn't allow him to be misinformed.

Your words would fade like a scream in the desert night. The beast would seemingly grow in size. Each second his body would press out even further until he’d gotten so large that the blackness of his body seemed to have enveloped the entire space around you. No longer would you be trapped by the cold sand underneath your feet and the dunes of golden grains pastured in the background. Everything was pitch black for seconds on end as you probably questioned the fact of this being an illusion.

The question would come to a halt as you found yourself within a very dark and deep well – a white orb, looking somewhat like the beasts eye close-up, floats above you peering down. Around you the fire flies kept true to their distinct pattern, flicking in and out, in and out, as the world before you twisted and turned in an illusion.

[/i][/color] – his eyes, wrapped in a burgundy blanket, stared with precision in his ocular nerves into the hues of the jounin. He knew exactly what he was doing. [/ul][/ul]

His power was the top of the crop in his generation and it shined its brightest in times like this – where the infamous shinobi found themselves wandering outside of the safety of their village. Words spilled forth from the top of the spring as the pupil of the eye turned back into the base of a sharp-toothed mouth.

“ARE YOU SCARED!!!!?”

[KEITH]

The beast didn't respond to his question, just like he had thought it would. It wasn't like he really thought it would anyway, that how things like this kept their secret after all. That is, if anyone would have survived after seeing it, and maybe threatened to be killed, if anyone had ever spoken of the beast. He use to hear of a lot of stories as a child, and probably the creature that was standing before him might be those who he had heard in his childhood. As the monster would begin to grow in size, he had known that this, whatever it was, was going to be difficult to deal with.

Though, he didn't know how to deal with it in anyway, he didn't even know what it was, or what abilities it had possessed. He would have to size him up, ability-wise before making any rash decisions or actions. The first thing he wanted to discover the secrets about was the fireflies. He didn't know if it was safe or not to pass through them, in case that might have acted as a shield to protect him to some extent. Or maybe, it was a fatal trap he had been succumbed to since he entered within the area.

Whatever it was, he had figured that saying within the area of the fireflies was the best thing, watching them as they would continue to move in and out, keeping the same distance as before. Everything would eventually be drowned in darkness after the beast had expanded to the point where his body would consume the entire area. When he had looked into the sky, or where it would be, he would see a white light, that which had resembled the beast’s eye. It appeared that he was in a well, though he had known that he was surrounded by the beast or darkness from all around and he towered over him from above. He would begin to wonder about the level of realness that was remaining in the area; this all could be a grand illusion, a Genjutsu of sorts.

A skill that the young jounin isn't that good in. Though he plans on becoming skilled in every art, to become an elite shinobi, or at least know how to defeat every art. This time, the words would come from the mouth of the beast, after the darkness would have dispersed. And the ugly demonic deity before him had appeared, back at his original size. He had wondered why this time, like last time, the voice didn't come from the fireflies; instead it just came from the beast.

He was thrown into a loop after that one, but he would have to stay on his toes, he didn't know what he was dealing with. His golden hues had shifted left to right, seeing what was going on around him, his chakra from within still being built up, or at least he would believe that it was.

("Being scared of the unknown is silly. The only thing you should fear are things you know what there capable of.")

He had said to the beast, with a smirk upon his face, despite how the situation had looked for himself.
