The mist was heavy today, Saya noted. It didn't matter to her though. In fact, it was probably better if no one saw her. She would be training by herself again, but she didn't even have a decent sword to train with. Her father thought she should deserve her blade by buying it herself, but she couldn't waste time until she got one. She still needed training, so a small stick would serve fine until she could get that Shinobigatana she had been looking at in that one weapon shop. How long could it take to save up for it anyhow?
She stopped in the middle of a field. There were a few trees scattered around her. She picked one out to use as a training dummy and struck a pose. Holding the stick in a backhand grib behind her waist she closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths, after which she swung the stick against the tree. A satisfying clonk echoed in the empty fields, then another, and another. The heavy mist had however made the stick moist, and it slid out of her fingers and flew away. "Aw, you've got to be kidding me!" She yelled in frustration. The tall grass made the stick hard to find, and the mist made it no easier. She muttered to herself as she crawled around on all fours, oblivious to anything else.
