Cape of no Hope (port)

Takeshi sits idly by the large snowy docks of the Harbor. His sword propped against his left arm, his eyes closed. He is cross-legged, and sitting upon the deck where there was less snow. He thinks back...his hometown of Beijio City. The rumors...he's heard more rumors of what was occurring in Beijio City in the past five days than he's heard since his 'unofficial' Departure from Beijio five years prior. Close by, a bell tolls for a transportation vessel that just docked in. Off it came smugglers, travelers, merchants, gangsters, and general people whom usually make up any rough populous. Domescadia, which has been his 'home' for the past year now had that kind of crowd. Up here, little law, too much violence. The Northern Ice Caps was his next place of interest, but the rumors...the rumors got to his mind. Now he was here, ready to take a ship to an Island across from Beijio's shores-the closest hes' been in five years to his home town; where he will debate whether he would continue into the city that would reject him-or turn back and continue his travels northbound to the Ice Caps.

His right eye slightly lifts open, glancing at some of the passengers lining up to get on board the empty craft. He closes his eye again taking a heavy breath before he slowly rose to his feet and stepped in line. He walks on board the rather flat ship, slipping his sword onto his belt again when he's on board.

Soon the ship departs, heading south bound to Ryunoshi Island.
