Finding her purpose [TRAVEL]

Finally free from Hoshi and the oppression of its people seeing Isomo as nothing more than a beast, the shinobi walked into the roads and the wild like she used to do before, aimlessly, trying to find where she belonged, where she could be herself, and prove her worthiness to her dark god, seeking and attaining true immortality. After a few weeks of walking, she met an old man, who on the side of the world, sat down, wearing a dark red kimono, worn down. The man looked like a wanderer, someone who was homeless, living in total squalor. As Isomo passed him, he said something, gettin g the girl attention.  ''young one. Come and sit, indulge an old man dying by listening to his stories.'' said the old man, pointing at the ground.

Curious, and believing in fate and destiny, Isomo stoped and sat down, not attentive at the maximum to the old man, seeing it as a sign. ''Alright old man, but I offer you a trade. I am hungry for blood, so after you share with me your story, I will kill you.'' said Isomo with a grin, calm and confidant. The old man smiled and noded, being too old to live another year, he didnt care.

The man told the stories of his life. A whicked life, filled with horrors, murders, torture, sacrifices. It was a tale of blood and pain, of flesh and screams, of nightmares and terror. Isomo was touched, seeing this man as now more than a sign, but as a direct communication with the dark god of murder. She was facinated by the story, asking for ever more details and reveling in each confession of the serial killer, a true genious of the life taking, so good at his craft and twisted, that he was never caught, and would have died of old age, burrying with him the thousands of deaths he inflicted, drowning their memories in absolute darkness. After the man was done, Isomo got behind the man, and without hesitation went in with her teeth for the neck, breaking his spine, ending his life in one move. Mere seconds before acting, the old man pronounced his last words: ''And now, it is done. I am the monster they told about, I am the terror in the abyss, the stuff of nightmare, the boogeyman they never caught. But my life, even if it was live to its fullest and by being true to myself for every moment, was a failure. Jashin, forgive me, for I did not attain true immortality..'' said in a slow and calm voice the man, smiling and closing his eyes, awaiting for the end of his life. With a swift move, the man heads rolled down, the girl full of blood covering her, looking at the dark sky of the night, illuminated by a blood moon, crying, finally having the revelation she so deeply desired and hoped for.

Isomo had finally found her true purpose. The world saw her as a monster, a freak, and she would not disapoint. Wanting immortality, absolute power to do what she pleases, and to also belong in a place where her true murderous self would be accepted, she once again set path to go meet with the dark god, to walk amongst the cultists of Jashin, like she did decades ago.

Going to the station of the hoshi borders, she climbed into a carriage going to the minor country of Hot Springs, where the temple of Jashin was located.
