The boy had finally reached his destination, Matatsu smiled as the Village Hidden in the Mist came into his view letting out a sigh of relief after his long journey. Though as he drew nearer to the village something else caught the boy's attention, a large crowd was gathered on the outskirts of the village surrounding a platform. Matatsu's interest was spiked, 'what could draw such a large crowd to a single location like this' the boy thought to himself as he began his approach to the crowd. Once he was among the people gathered he heard faint whispers traveling amongst the crowd however that all came to a stop when a man suddenly appeared on the stage. Matatsu's heart rate spiked higher than his interest into why the crowd had gathered, he had not seen anyone that moved that fast since his father had passed. The man spoke but his words were lost on the boy, as Matatsu could not hear anything over the sound of his heart beating rapidly within his chest. 'Could this be the one' the boy thought as he tried to push his way through the crowd, his mind trailing back to the last words his father had spoke to him. The crowd thinned, apparently some were not happy with what the man had said, that did not matter to the boy his eyes were fixed on the man as were many other's. The boy became less interested in the crowd and more concerned with the man, he had a presence about him and though Matatsu could not place his finger on what it was he found himself drawn towards him. The man approached the arch behind where he stood and soon a film of murky water filled the archway, and just as fast as the man had appeared he was gone through the water. Questions began forming in the boy's head as he wondered what was going on, 'Shit why didn't I listen to what he was saying' he thought to himself cursing under his breath. The boy stood in the middle of the crowd as more whispers began filling the air, the boy's eye was caught by others walking into this water that the man had created disappearing just as the man had done. Still more seemed sceptical or possibly afraid, the boy neither knew nor cared he pushed his way through the crowd and made his way to the Arch. He needed to find this man or else he may never find the answer he sought, it was possible that this was the very reason he had been drawn to the village of the most in the first place. Without any delay once the boy had made it to the archway the boy took a deep breath and stepped through the water, whatever lay waiting for him he did not know but with any luck he would be closer to his destiny.
The boy felt himself being pulled through, the pressure too much causing the boy to cry out yet there was an absence of sound, it also revealed that he did not need to hold his breath whatever this liquid was it was no ordinary water just a vast emptiness. The boy's thoughts began to race as he wondered just what it was that he was standing in, it was like murky grey water yet he could breathe as if it was air and no matter how hard he tried he could not produce a sound. Suddenly the grey water parted and a world formed around him, the sudden shift from the water to the ground beneath him nearly caused the boy to fall, however luckily for him he somehow managed to remain on his feet. The boy looked around to find that there was no one within his sight, the forest that surround him though similar to the one he had journeyed through to reach the village of the mist and yet it was dark and void of life, not even a leaf among the fogged filled forest. Matatsu did not know what it was that he would encounter in this place, nor did he know where the other's that had gone through the portal in front of him, including the man that had made the portal, had gone. The boy would look around him trying to find some kind of sign as to where he was as he continued to curse himself for not listening to the man's words, Matatsu did not recognize anything in this place but he found himself standing on a path or sorts and figured that the best thing to do would be to follow the path and see just where it lead. With any luck he would find someone amongst all of this, and if he did not he could only hope that he would not be lost in this place for the rest of his life.
