Chapter 4
Flaws (4)
Stopping a few times, to catch her breath, Anonym could see herself falling into frustration! She had decided to travel an hour in the direction the men had came from and circle that area, then go further in that same direction to do the same. Becoming tired after the first trip, she had slept in a hollow tree that made her cold and dirty.
When she had woken up, the sun had come up for at least an hour and she continued her journey not even thinking on how lucky she was to have survived the night in an untamed land. She hadn"t thought it luck, she was small and fit into a place no big things could fit in, so what was there to be afraid of? Not only that…She was currently stuck as being invisible! Being unseen was not something she wanted to get used to! Normally, she was the life of the party! The loudest, funniest person in the clan! People liked her nature, they wanted to be close to her….
(Author note: She’s modest too uh?)
But still, during the night, a few insects had bitten her, making her grunt in displeasure. Her blood was special! How could she let them get away with taking her special blood!?
Vexed, she planned to kill many insects in retribution when she became stronger!
Circling an area twice now, she continued to go further away from the Hydra Clan and into the tree area that had more moss and vines in random areas. Did someone really live out here? What a stupid place to make a home!
She hadn"t come across any kind of normal vegetation that could grow food, and fruit seemed to be scattered and limited. The best thing to live on here would be that of the animals that scavenged for bugs...
This was probably the reason she hadn"t come across any homes yet, to live out here is obviously to hide away so you weren"t found…And for silly people!
Now that she thought about it, many talents had gone into hiding and invisibility had already been so rare, so it seemed quite normal now for her to take a long time to find this blasted home! That seemed to just now cross her mind…
As she stumbled, she grumbled. It was displeasing to her eyes as she had to slow down in intervals to continue over slippery and dense areas. Remembering some of her previous times in extravagant places, she could not help but want to get away from this place as soon as possible! She missed the comfort of a bed and that of someone to serve her. Food cooked, clean water, fresh clothes and fresh air! Looking around now, she felt out of place with discomfort and she trudged on with a face that looked utterly disgusted...
Anonym remembered her previous lives and tried to think of where exactly she was, but the Hydra Clan didn"t really give her any kind of familiarity. Also, being in this forest also didn"t seem to be a knowledgeable existence at all...Considering she had retired for about fifteen years in her previous life, the continents might have changed since she"d last seen them. It made her more frustrated that she, being someone that continued to relive her life, didn"t know where she was!
But one point did make her think, as it seemed quite a humid place, she wondered if this was Murkcloud Continent.
The continents had broken up into the type of climates they were in, but sometimes wars had taken place...So the continents borders might have changed on all sides. It was still quite easy to recognize the differences though, as Murkcloud continent was humid and consisted of a lot more water than that of the other three continents. Waterfalls, steam pools, marshlands and spring waters mostly existed on Murkcloud Continent. This type of humid climate made specific professions here better as well. For instance, the art of Chemistry has other talents under it that the vast amounts of water on this continent would help improve on them, like that of Farming, Irrigation and Cosmetics. Obviously, the products from the farms and people who make cosmetics here would be slightly better than that of anywhere else. It did indeed help equalize each talent and continent as the other three continents helped other talents. And because of that, trading will continue as it had done so for many, many years.
As Anonym continued to trudge along, she tried to remember what she could do on Murkcloud continent. Water was also a useful source for improving particular personal cultivation, and not only that, there were obviously talents that would only be on this continent. And that was enough reason for her to stay for the time being.
Oh, how she couldn"t wait to learn everything and teach that old man a lesson!
