Reflective Moon

The previous story role play. Packing up her camping equipment, Haruka thought about everything that had happened in the last few weeks, starting from the time she left her sensei just two weeks ago moving through time in a linear fashion to the present. Not long after her sensei had left, she had noticed the few surviving but severely injured members of the caravan and helped them to the nearest village where they got medical help and for her kindness, Haruka got free shelter and meals. After explaining why she came to be there at that time, she was offered a temporary place in their caravan as a bodyguard until they reached their destination which happened to be not far from the border of the Land of Birds. As she traveled with them, she heard stories of villages near the border being burned down by what was believe to be a young demoness though she didn't believe the person is a demon. Numerous times the caravan was attacked and villages they stayed in were attacked by bandits who desired what little the caravan had recovered from the wreckage Haruka saved them from. It wasn't until they had reached their destination a week later however that Haruka learned what it was the bandits were after. Ninja tools and scrolls that were being delivered to a village which desired to become a shinobi village as they tired of the constant bandit attacks and wished to defend themselves. The caravan decided to stay there for a little while as they waited for someone to arrive and it was then that Haruka decided to leave but not before being paid for her help. For the next week, she stayed on the outskirts of villages, trying to avoid other people as she didn't feel like being social but stayed close enough to be there should bandits attacked however, talk of a young girl who drove her enemies insane and struke fear into their hearts with little effort who had saved a caravan's survivors and several villages from bandit attacks quickly traveled and were exaggerated, leaving most of her days peaceful yet boring as bandits feared encountering her. As her thoughts turned back to the present as she walked, Haruka smelled smoke and a lot of it. Fearing that the arsonist was at it again, she quickly made her way to the source of the smoke to spot a women standing on the edge of town smiling as she watched the town burn and the people scramble in fear.
