[ EPISODE 1: The departure]
A young male stood at the mouth of a large cave-like entrance. In truth, it was the mouth of a giant sand worm that had long ago been slain. Beside the young boy stood several others dressed much like him, adorned in ANBU clothing beneath long cloaks that concealed much of their body. Their hoods were up, and faces were covered by masks representing animals, or creatures of myth.
Darasu as the youngest, stood a distance away from the other two who were acting as guards to escort him out of the village. It was not that he was in trouble, merely that he was leaving his home country on orders of a Sennin. The young Haku had been in training to be an ANBU for a short time, but his true nature of techniques were very limited here. Although the practice of manipulating water in the desert had been great for conjuration, he had few skills in the forms of control.
"You will head east for two days, until you reach a large forest. This is just before the Konoha border, and still our territory." One of the two anbu guards said in instruction. "Once you find a large river flowing south, follow it upwards into the mountains. If your fate works well for you, the monastery will only take a week to reach.".
The other anbu elder then spoke. "Hopefully the desert will be kind to you. Good luck Sliver."
And with that, Darasu took off into the sands..
