by Kannagi Sun May 24, 2020 6:30 pmApproaching from the direction of the main village, a steed with a pale coat and dark mane carried a tall woman with blue hair. The blazing sun above glinted off the beads in the horse's braided mane and tail. As Kannagi rode ever closer to the Kellen Plains and down Kataki road, more and more details would come into view as desert dust transformed into dry reedy plants. The shinobi was wearing her usual high neck sleeveless top and shorts but not in the color black. Today she wore white. The usual coat around her waist was replaced by a long flowing purple skirt, knotted up by her thighs, creating a high-low style that was undoubtedly for the ease of movement. The horse had an elaborate black design painted onto its left hip which now could be seen as not just a pale coat but a coat of marbled gray and white. The horse had dark eyes and dark hooves, small gray tufts of hair behind the hooves. The blue haired shinobi took only two breaks, both to hydrate herself and Cirilla.
At the second stop, Kannagi paused by a small watering hole. There were birds of a dozen species and a hundred patterns of browns, white, and black taking up residence in the two large trees beside it. Kannagi had slowed Cirilla and dismounted in order to let the horse drink and splash her hooves through the watering pool in a refreshing quick bath. The shinobi waited for the horse's resting time to end while eating a tart green apple. Then, she climbed back onto the horse's back and they traveled onward.
