Nature Buddy (Solo)

Discussion in 'Orarian Plains' started by Jun, Nov 15, 2016.

    Jun enjoyed morning walks on Orario's plains. The constant warm wind was just so comforting that there was no better place for the fox girl to enjoy a break from dungeon delving. Her ears twitched in response to the various natural sounds around the plains, listening to the simple, yet natural melody of the wind, leaves and the occasional birds chirping, hidden among the many trees. As much as Jun valued her new home back at Hearth's home, nature was still her best friend and the one she grew up with under the guidance of her parents. Times like these filled her with nostalgia and brought many good memories back - in summary, the perfect place for relaxing for Jun.

    Still, just lying around wasn't something the fox girl enjoyed, no - she came here to practice as evident by the large leather backpack on her back. Thankfully, her goddess' falna already improved her psyche a slight bit up until this point, and Jun had to admit that it was of great utility. Jun licked her right hand's index finger and pointed it upwards to get a rough estimate of the wind... - east. After hitting her cheeks lightly to shoo any trace of sleepiness still annoying her, Jun opened her leather backpack, pulling out of it an average wood dummy. It had a round target with varying colors; red being the center. Jun proceeded to set the dummy close to a tree, it's back faced towards it since that way the fox girl wouldn't need to worry about four directions of wind at all times.
     
  2. After taking a few steps backwards, she removed her leather backpack, tossing it on the grass near her. bo shurikens are thrown in many different ways. One may choose to do so overhead, underarm, sideways or even rearwards, but the core remains the same - the basic for throwing them comes from throwing them by sliding the spikes out of the user's hand through the fingers in a smooth motion resulting in a controlled flight. The reason she took a break today was training - she wanted to get better at hitting targets while moving. She felt as if many of her thrown bo shuriken in the past few dungeons were to waste as she missed quite a few of them in the heat of battle.

    Jun took her stance, quickly pulling spikes from her pouches and readying them between her fingers. With a quick and precise somersault to her left, she launched two spikes against the dummy. Much to her chagrin, one missed, meanwhile the other hit pretty far off from the reddish center. She repeated the same process, this time taking a few fractions of seconds more to improve precision - and she would have done it well, if not for a failed landing as her back hit the grass, which thankfully absorbed most of the impact. Following a heavy sigh, Jun focused her body weight on her shoulders and upon supporting her arms on the ground, quickly jumped back to her feet. An unconscious frown quickly turned into a bright smile as she got a much better result this time around - one spike was far from the center, though the other was much closer to the red spot. With a cocky grin on her face, the young fox girl continued on, training in hopes of achieving new levels of power.
     
  3. A few hours later, the young fox girl lay on the grass, panting. She could feel it - her physical prowess definitely improved ever since she was blessed with the falna. She raised both of her arms, hands wide and open as if trying to grab the trees' leaves with her own hands while on the ground. Her smile widened even more, she felt happy. Jun was closer to be just like her mother, a strong Runarl. Though the eternal reminder of being incompatible with magic always haunted the back of her head, Jun couldn't bother to waste any more time with it. At this point and time, she now had to focus on her own development and, of course, she still had to surpass her parents. Perhaps she'll meet them again someday and have the chance to show just how much she has grown ever since she started living on her own.

    A few hours were gone already, and something snapped on Jun's mind - of course! Afternoon! By the time she's been practicing, the city scent on her should be gone already. Jun quickly raised to her feet and after memorizing her dummy's location, she set out to hunt game - her preferred one, deer. She couldn't help but wonder... Did her goddess know how to cook it?
