Yume no Sato[p]

[Bit]

A small village located in lustrous forest of Hi no Kuni a beautiful place that goes by the name of Yume no Sato. Yume no Sato is one of the many places that are hidden within the forest of Hi no Kuni, it couldn’t be consider as a Hidden village because of its size(5 mile Radius). But with its small size the people of the village have been able to put together a beautiful place with a solid infrastructure, everyone within the village plays their part in keeping the village as modernized as they could afford.

Though Yume no Sato is such a small place they have produced some of the most powerful shinobi to ever walk the earth. There has been story of the elders of this place hold great wisdom about the world in its entirety, some even believe that they’re capable of predicting the future. Hence the reason that they try to remain as secretive as possible, they try not to let the secrets of their village escape their walls. Hence they have not admitted anyone else into the village in over 17 years.

‘I think I’m in Hi no Kuni.’ As I moved along the country side I’d noticed yet another change in the terrain, it had been a couple of days since I left Mizu no kuni. My travels through the country wes laced interesting people, though they hadn’t led to much of anything I appreciated meeting some of the locals. I couldn’t help but to hope to come across the young woman that had seemed very interesting but left my presence so abruptly. Hence the reason that I would one day return back to those lands with aspirations of crossing paths with her again. But at this moment I had other matters on my hands, I was in search of a place that seemed quite mythical that my parents said I was born in.

Yume no Sato, there has been countless tails that my father told me about the place. Hence why I had always aspired to find it, luckily I had finally been permitted to leave the village indefinitely for a little vacation. For that reason I found myself treading through the forest of Hi no Kuni with no real sense of direction, my father just told me to let my heart guide me home. So that’s exactly what I was doing, I was just following my heart and so far its sense of direction seemed to be pretty good as I had got to Hi no Kuni without much trouble at all. ‘I hope this doesn’t take too much longer, this shit is getting tiresome.’ I thought to myself as my body began to feel a bit fatigued from all this traveling.

“I need to rest.”

I said to myself as I had seemed to come up on what looked like a large lake in the middle of nowhere. Which would create the opening I needed to give myself a much needed break, I’d slow my run to a steady walk as approached the lake. I’d take my seat along the shore line of the lake sitting Indian style with one leg crossed over the other, the wind would pick up quite a bit causing my hair to swing a bit. I’d look down into the water in front me catching a view of my own reflection, ‘Got damn I look good.’ As the thought passed through my mind I’d smile slightly before pulling my hand from side rubbing my chin.

“This is the life… I wish I could survive without ever having to move from this spot.”

I’d say to myself as I looked upon my own reflection; as I spoke those words I would change positions to lay down upon the lakes shore. Hence a slight smile would appear upon my face as I examined the clouds up above me, there had been various different shapes floating around the air. None of them really caught my attention they had actually did the exact opposite, my eyes would begin to close as I laid along the shoreline. I could feel myself falling asleep, it was like I was at peace with myself a this vary moment and allowed my body to act is it wanted.

As I drifted away from consciousness I would hear a loud splash of water that would pull me from my trans, quickly popping up from my resting position I would scan the area looking for the source of the sound. ‘Oh shit.’ as my eyes took note of what was actually going on I would notice a young woman that had started to swim around in the water. She was quite beautiful as I had felt compelled to stare at the woman even though her entire body had been shielded by the waters of the lake, I would quickly switch back my Indian style position.

“Ay you!”

[Bit]

As I called out to the young woman she had seemed to ignore me a bit, of course from that a bit of frustration would spawn on my insides. It hadn’t ever been a time where I failed to get the attention of the opposite sex, as my face cringed the young woman would continue to swim around in the lake as if I hadn’t even existed. Therefore I would stand to my feet placing my hands into my pockets without pulling my gaze away from her.

“Excuse me miss!”

I’d call out to the woman again as she swam back to the shore, she would seemingly ignore me once more as she walked out of the lake. ‘oh man.’ I thought to myself as she walked out of the water, she had been nude. My jaw would drop slightly as I gazed upon the girl’s body; it was perfectly sculpted as if she was the perfect model of a woman. ‘This can’t be real.’ I thought to myself as I found my body moving on its own in the direction of the woman. My Jaw would be hanging low as I walked slowly towards her, as I did so her gaze finally set upon me. Her head would slightly lean to the side as she turned in my direction exposing the rest of her body. My eyes widen as I got closer to her before she finally acknowledged my presence. “Hello, you look mighty familiar. If you don’t mind me asking, what is your name.” She would ask while she reached for her pieces of clothing on the ground; I would remain a bit baffled as I was marveling at the girls figure.

“Umm, uhhhh.. I think my name is Yume, Sy….”

As I spoke her eyes would widen as well, she would quickly snatch her clothes from the ground covering up her body. ‘Hmm?’ I thought to myself as my lustful eyes quickly turned to a set of curious peepers, I’d shake my head out a little bit before closing my mouth. The woman would begin to slip on her clothing as she kept a close eye on me, once she was fully clothed she would walk over to me and managed to invade my personal space. She would place her hand on my face forcing it turn each and every way she wanted it to, as allowed the woman into my personal space I couldn’t hope but to wonder exactly why her interests had peaked when I said my name. Shortly after, the woman would release my face before smiling at me. “Sy, we’ve been waiting for you to come home.” She would say as she would blush a little, the woman’s demeanor had completely changed since I had first met her. “My name is Ejji, Kaliya, we’ve been waiting on your father to send you to us, well my dad has anyway.” As the girl spoke with a sweet tone of voice I’d nod my head a bit.

“Umm, I’m assuming you’re from Yume no Mura?”

As my words slipped from my mouth Kaliya would smile graciously, a smile would appear upon my face as well as it had seemed my dad was right. I followed my heart and it lead me to Kaliya, ‘I guess it was meant to be, but I wonder what and why they were waiting on me.’ As the thought bounced around in my head Kaliya would close the distance between myself and her grabbing my hand, her soft grip was enough to let me know that I hadn’t had a choice in the matter of me following her or not. “I’m gonna bring you to pop pop, he’s been rambling on about you for the past two weeks. I hadn’t expected you too actually come back though; it has been so long since I’ve seen you Sy. What happened to your brother, I know you had a twin as well.. We all used to play when we were kids before you moved away.” As she spoke while pulling me along; I couldn’t exactly remember much of my child hood within Yume no Mura. It had all seemed look a big blurry blob in my memory, but if her words had been true then I figured I must have kept pretty good company.

“So your pop pop, he’s been talking about me for the past couple of weeks, what about?”

I was curious just what he could’ve known about me and why he would be talking about me while I was in the pursuit of finding the village. “You’ll see. I’ll explain a little while we travel to the village.”

[Bit]

“So how far is this place?”

I’d ask with a hint of curiousty behind my voice as she pulled me through the luscious forest of Hi no Kuni. There was a sense of cautiousness still in the air even though I trusted that Kaylia wasn’t leading me into any traps. She had seemed too sincere with her words, it almost had felt as if the young woman had knew me for our entire life. But as I asked my question she would turn to me with a slight smile while she continued to pull me through the forest, “It isn’t far, it seems you have a really good sense of direction Sy.” She said to him as they arrived at a door that was embedded on a tree within a forest that displayed a picture of a green cloud. “This is the underground village Yume no Mura.” She’d say before she pushed down the cloud in the center of the door, the cloud would begin to spin before the door began to creek open.

“Woah, I don’t know how I would’ve found this place.”

As the door completely opened she released my hand from her grip before descending down the set of stairs into what seemed like darkness. I would follow behind her cautiously; I couldn’t just go running down into a pit of darkness without considering the dangerous. “Come on Sy, don’t be scared there isn’t anything that could harm you here.” Kaylia voice would chime through the stair well as I crept down the steps. ‘Ahh I guess I’ll take this chance.’ I thought to myself as I picked up my speed a bit walking down the steps, it wouldn’t be long before I could see a bright light at the bottom of the stairs. ‘What the heck?’ The light that was being emitted from the room I was about to enter was quite unusual considering the fact that. As I reached the base of the steps the light would be blinding for a second until my eyes adjusted to it.

“Woah, how the fuck do you guys get this type of light?”

I would be in marvel as I peered around the beautiful oasis, I had never seen anything like in my days on the earth. “Well, I think it’s magic… But pop pop says it’s some type of filter or whole or something like that allows the light into Yume no Mura. So what do you think of your hometown Sy?” She’d ask as she began to walk away from me. ‘I can’t believe mom and dad left here for Kusa.’ I’d say to myself as I marveled at the architecture within this small town.

“Well it’s quite beautiful Kaylia.”

I’d say as I stood there still marveling at the beauty of the place. “Come on Sy, my home is this way. Get your head out the clouds.” She said as she continued to venture into the village. I would pull my eyes away from the beauty of Yume no Mura allowing my gaze to fall back onto Kaliya, she had got ahead of me quite a bit so I would jog a bit until I was side by side with her. I would shift my gaze back upon her before we officially enter the village.

“So you’ve been here your entire life Kaliya?”

I’d ask out of pure curiosity I had wonder exactly what is was like to grow up here, it seemed like a great place to raise kids. I started to wonder why my mother took me and my brother away from here; it didn’t make any sense at this point. Yume no Mura seemed like the perfect place to raise your young ones.
