The Warrior's Path Part One

[warrior]

March 1st: Steins, Hidalgo County, New Mexico

~/~Aiyanna stood in the desolate "ghost" town that is Steins, New Mexico. A peak population of 1,300. At the end of World War II, people moved on. Left the town. Left with what possessions they could, left the rest behind. A desolate place now. Abandoned. Except for Aiyanna and her two sisters, Misae and Yoki. Now, it would just be Misae and Yoki in the town, as Aiyanna prepared her leave. Aiyanna was the middle child at 22, Misae the oldest at 25 and Yoki the youngest at 16. Her sisters told her not to worry. They would be fine here. That it was time for her journey. Her journey as a warrior.~/~

"Are you two certain, that you will be okay?"

"Sister, worry not of us. Worry of your own journey ahead."

"Misae..."

"We know you'll do good! And we'll be going to the next town over ourselves. So, we can watch you."

"Yoki..."

~/~Aiyanna smiled, she was fortunate to have two sisters such as these. But this journey would be done by her alone. No one there to hold her when she screwed up. No one there to console her when she was down.~/~

"May the Great Spirits guide you sister."

"May they watch over you. Protect you. Bring you glory in battle. Be safe sister. This path, The Warrior's Path, is yours and yours alone. Take care of yourself."

~/~Aiyanna sighed heavily and the three sisters shared an embrace. This would be their last moment together in a long while. She had to make it last. The three embraced for at least five minutes.~/~

"I should really get going now... If I'm to make it in time for the next show. I love you both dearly. You two take care of yourselves. I'll see you both again one day."

~/~Aiyanna sighed as she slowly stepped away from her sisters, nodding to them, she turned her back and began to walk. Her only belongings were the fur clothing that she wore, a hunting knife, a bow, and several arrows. She would venture to the concrete jungle that is New York, and from there... Her real journey. She would sleep in the wild and hunt for her food on this journey. The Warrior's Path is a long and hard one. The Warrior's Path is filled with hardships. The Warrior's Path is filled with trust and deception. The Warrior's Path is filled with happiness and sadness. The Warrior's Path is filled with life and death. The Warrior's Path is filled with love and hate. The Warrior's Path is filled with friends and enemies. The Warrior's Path was a long and hard one. Many failed during their journey. She would not. She gazed up at the sky as she walked.~/~
