[quote=@GodOfChaos] Izumi quickly caught himself on a large, oak tree's trunk. "Curse nature and its giant roots." He put himself back on track and continued walking in the thick woodlands. [i]I can almost guarantee that I am not the only looking for this guy.[/i] Izumi stopped for a moment to catch his breath. He never had to travel this far before. He was on the other side of town. Izumi wiped a few locks of his long, grayish hair out of his face. He began to move forward again but was stopped by a noise. Izumi took a few more steps, snapping a twig before stopping behind another large oak tree. He poked his head into the open. It was another person. A girl, who seemed to have struggled her way through the woods as well. The terrain was a tad tough and it could get aggravating if you were tripping every which way. He noticed a patch over the girls left eye. [i]Maybe she knows where she is going. I'll just follow her.[/i] [/quote] Autumn paused in her trek through the undergrowth. She didn't know what it was that made her halt but it was just....something. She took in her surroundings. The leafs were still, no breeze to rustle them. Dappled sunlight fell through the foliage, heating the top of her head and causing a trickle of sweat to spill off her brow. She frowned as she listened. Yes, that's what it was; a twig had been snapped. But it could have been an animal moseying through the forest. No, what really unsettled her, what made the hairs on the back of he neck stand up was the feeling of something watching her from somewhere in the trees. She slowly turned and almost jumped a foot in the air upon seeing a head poking around the tree gazing at her. Her single visible eye widened as she took in his appearance. He had white hair and silver eyes from what she could see. She stood there awkwardly staring at him, torn between running or speaking to him. After a few moments she managed to contain the strong urge to flee and managed to stammer out a single word. [color=gold]"H-Hello."[/color]
