Meeting the ghost

[Meng Yi Xiang]

It was the morning time. The sun was in the air shinning toward the forest in Ye. The day was so clear that you could not even see any clouds. The forest was so beautiful with a small stream were fish was jumping out and back in going toward the waterfall. The biggest tree were in the middle of the forest around a small cave that was unknown to people but not unknown by wolves since it was the home of a pact of wolves. The road that was closest was dangerous to go toward since the animals often run by there and attack the people. There was also a unknown thing that attacked the people that was crossing close to the forest.

The Unknown thing was known as a ghost and the legend of the people in these lands. The Ghost was only a fifteen year old girl that was killing for the food in there bags to be able to survive the night in the forest and not die of starvation. She did not know how to communicate with the people so she kills them without feeling any guilt like they killed her parents. The legends were long about the people that never returned after going toward these woods and most of them were true except the ones that the ghost was eating the people when really it was the pact of wolf that ate the dead people in the days they had no luck during there hunts.

The girl was named Meng Ji Xiang, the silence that she was when you were in her presents were scary. She was so young when she was alone and the way she is still living is unknown. She was eating a piece of deer meat that she killed the day before and it was the only thing left. The meat was cooked on the fire of a explorer that was eaten alive by the wolves. She was on a tree close to the road in the open to be exact eating the piece of meat looking toward the city as others would watch a practice battles between two of the best fighters in the world.

In the darkness his red eyes were bright, his movement silent, his strikes swift. As always, he trained long and hard and the break of dawn. He had to be strong, he had to be smart, he had to be wise, in order for him to help his brother further his own ambitions. He looked at the sky as it became a light blue from the darkness. As the morning came, his eyes began to slightly close. He didn't need anyone to throw a panic over his eyes, again. It was why he was named a demon, for his sheer skills in battle and the eyes of a demon. He looked around for a moment, wiping the sweat from his forehead, after three sets of a hundred side strikes with his blades, meaning 600 all together with both his arms, he was growing wary of his practice and wanted to take a break.

He decided to take a trip outward to the forest once more. It was his safe haven, a place that he could do his thing in peace. The dark blue sky began to go bright as the sun reached the peak of the sky. Signifying the morning day has began in the city of Ye, lucky he made it passed the hassle ans bassle of the city and made it to the forest where he would relax in his place. But he was able to hear some rumors was a ghost that took the form of a young girl, that resided in a cave filled with wolves. He didn't pay much mind to it there were many caves, many waterfalls, and so on in the forest. Beside he never believed in ghost it was so....Trivial.

As he walked he reached his destination a waterfall near a cave, he saw an open fire, but pay little attention to it. As long as they did start trouble with him, he would start with them. He placed his swords on the ground next to him, taking a knee, he removed his robes revealing his tattoos and scars from battle. Then quietly cleaned his face with the water. It was a nice day, a normal day, no fights, no war, no hassle, just peace. A peace that he wanted to himself. Hopefully it will stay that way.

Meng Yi Xiang got bored of watching the city there was not enough movements and things happening. The wind was starting to blow in a low amount of power but was a cold wind. She got of the tree that was losing a few leafs from the wind that was throwing it down. The sky was still clear as it was earlier that day but now it was almost noon. She walked toward the fire that she kept alive for the past two days and was bringing wood to feed the fire.

She walking and looking at a little rabbit that seem to be old enough that its life was almost over in the first place. She took her sword and throws the first piece at the rabbit. The rabbit was running as fast as he could before the blade cut its little head right off doing a clean cut like it was nothing but air when the blade came at it. She went and grabbed her weapon back from the ground and place the body of the rabbit with the wood she was carrying and once again was going on with her journey back to her fire and now she also had her lunch.

She arrived there and walked straight at the fire not noticing the man that was there. She placed the wood in the fire and then took a piece of wood and stabbed it in the dead rabbit. She then started to cut the fur off the animal with a piece of her sword and she was doing it like a pros merchant in the cities and that is how she learned watching them do it to the animal they feed to the people of the city.

A brisk of cold wind brush lightly across his warm tan skin, as he continued to clean himself off. The mixture of the cold water, and cold wind made him want to almost shiver, but he didn't, the feeling of relaxation of a hard mornings work was enough. He finished cleaning up, and tighten the close of his eyelids as he began to drown himself in thought. As he always did in time of relaxation, he thought of the battles, the duels, the words that have been said to him by this allies and enemies. He has met many that he would have to admit that he respected and others whom he hated more than the evil incarnate itself. With every lost battle he kept in mind and survive, to learn from his past mistakes. For the man he serves with the utmost loyalty was his brother, and he could not fail him.

As the minutes passed by, he clenched his hands together and pressed them lightly on his forehead. His mind filled with the thoughts of his late wife who died on the field of battle, after all the years he still blamed himself for her death and so he prayed for her soul and life to forever prosper. He gritted his teeth from his own self hatred. But he kept silent, his face calm and secure, as if nothing was going on in his own mind. He could not show any weakness, scorn, hate, love...Anything, and so he did never showing anyone what he had in his mind.

His thoughts were stopped but a sound and a soft rumble in his stomach. It seemed that he was hungrier than normal, and with that thought in mind the smell of food entered his nose. He lightly patted his stomach, as it rumbled and complained again for food. He sighed lightly with a laugh putting on his upper robe, and takes up his blades. It was out of his nature to ask for assistance from a nearby source, but just once will do. He slowly walked over with a false joyous smile. "HEY! Can I j---" Before he could finish his friendly hello he saw a fifteen year old girl with a pack of wolves eating a person. He thought of the ghost for a moment then put that thought aside. "This...Is..Only a little awkward." He said with a fake laugh and rubbing his neck to make out that he was nervous but in reality he wasn't in the slightest bit. He was a warrior and has slain many great warriors. Some wovles and a girl aren't going to scare him off so easily.

"Just wanted to know if you have extra food. And you don't mind sharing?"

(OOC: since you made it like I eat people here you go something gross)

Meng Ji Xiang looked at the other man while the wolves growled at him. She made them go back out while the human was eaten she started to cook the rabbit and gave it to the man. She was no longer hungry so she did not want to kill the man. She then went to the remains of the one they just ate. She takes the gold giving her one thousand gold in her little bag where you can she that her weapon was in it. She looked more at the dead body not saying a word knowing the man was not used of seeing these type of things. She then gone to the next body and started to clean the meat for the next meal.

There was a little puppy that was sitting next to the girl in a silence watching her clean the body and looking for a bite to eat. She cut the hand of the dead warrior with half of the forearm and give it to the little puppy that wagged its tail and went to rejoin the rest of the pack. She stayed behind since she did not sleep with the wolf only eat with them and feed there young.

She decided to climb a tree that she seem to be used to after she finished cleaning the body and sat on it in a silence that would normally give people the shivers. She then took a leaf and cleaned her mouth with it then throws it off the tree to make it fall on the ground and in the fire to make it burn. She looked at the officer eating his food and she had a small smile on her face. She knew that he was not used seeing people with animals without seeing them killing them. She did not trust the man but she did not know what the man was thinking. She can understand what people are saying to each other but she did not know how to respond to other people of her race.

He kept his eyes close slightly to hide to demonic red eye, he gripped his blades tightly, though looking lazily kept his stance strong. As the wolves began to growl, he smirked for a slight second thinking about his own wolf that was resting in his inn in Nan Pi. His wolves was ferocious and vicious whenever it since danger to it's kin, meaning to him, his brother, and Anrui. One have bright white fur, soft and silky, it eyes a light blue. The other had jet black hair, its fur rough and feels slightly greasy, its eyes as red as his own. He knew he the company of wolves, they were protective of their kin and loyal as can be and had an almost regal presence. But the wolves who looked and growled at him seemed more like mutts running and killing just to survive.

He found it so vile and disgusting, when the girl gave him the rabbit on a stick he tossed it for the wolves to eat. He grew wary of her company quickly because has yet to say a word to him. Was she a mute? Did she not know how to speak? He took a moment and thought of Anrui and felt a sense of pity for her, but that sense quickly disappeared, no one was so low to pity pity. He believed that people had their own since of pride and something that they hold dear. As she moved to the body and began to cut part of it up, he wondered what she was planning to do. Then she gave a piece of that human to a wolf pup that couldn't get a piece.

What was strange to him was wolves live and breathed as a community, as a clan. He thought even lower of the pack of wolves as they didn't share with their younglings. But gave the young girl a slight or very little spec of respect for helping the youngling. At least she cared for the wolves, his attention went back on her, seeing her climb a tree and she gave him the young overwhelm smirk of cocky-ness and arrogance. He quickly thought just because she lived with wolves she was better, needless to say that was not the case. She had no family outside the animals, thought he was in the same case. After all his own family was slaughtered by bandits and he had to fend for himself as well. Regardless, she probably thought she was better than him.

He didn't care, he wasn't just going to crawl to her wanting to help just because she was living in a forest. Obviously she was getting by already. He merely shook his head and turned away walking off. "Thanks for the rabbit, bet the wolves loved it." He said as he walked off to his original spot, relaxing, though his guard still up as always. Again he took in the scenery, the sound of the waterfall, the green of the trees, the heat of the unbearable sun made bearable by the shade. The smell corpse no longer lingered in his nose. It was peaceful for him once more.
