[Chapter Size: 1800 Words.]
Third Person POV
Cintra, northern kingdoms.
...
...
The night ran its course in the Northern Realms as Madara continued to traverse the forests of Cintra. Leaping from tree to tree, not stopping for a moment, as he planned to do so in the capital. Madara was unbothered by the lack of light or the sound of various predators during the night, as he used his Sharingan to navigate through the forest, and it wasn't until a few hours had passed that he finally emerged from the jungle, finding the city's lights reflecting in the dark sky some distance on the horizon.
It was amusing for Madara, who for the first time directed his gaze even higher and saw the constellation in the sky and not just basic stars, but the entire center of the galaxy, very similar to the Milky Way that you could observe in just a few parts of his old world, but here, due to the lack of so much lighting, it was somewhat a common sky.
"This world has its own beauty too…" Madara murmured, before he resumed running like a ninja across the fields towards the distant city.
It didn't take long for him to finally arrive now as he moved like an animal at high speed while his hands were placed behind him, reaching the city walls, he didn't stop quickly, leaping and climbing at high speed while keeping his chakra in the soles of his feet.
Some guards who were watching on the walls of the wall, didn't even see when the boy passed by them, so fast and blending into the darkness, that they thought it was just the wind. Madara simply jumped from the wall in free fall into the city, even a little excited to feel the thrill of almost flying as he fell. 'This never gets old...' He murmured internally.
He landed on a house and quickly gained momentum from the roof without breaking it and leaped again from roof to roof as he made his way to his location in the city. Arriving at the abandoned building, he sighed as he landed on one of the windows.
He quickly prepared to rest, as he lay down on the cape after storing all his equipment, he thought satisfied with his last actions, he had done two of the 3 jobs and even earned 1000 coins for saving a noble who, deep down, didn't want to be rewarded, but those 1000 coins were welcome.
Madara then slept satisfied, and the next day, he had one more mission to complete. Leaving the ghoul's head in the place, hoping it wouldn't stink too much, so much so that he put it on the window and not inside the room. Madara had prepared with his equipment, while placing his kunais in easy-to-grab spots on his belts and bags, sharpening his small sword for a proper cut in his view.
The last job was quite simple: eliminate a nest of Nekkers in a forest a bit far away, Nekkers were easy to defeat, but in this specific location, there were at least dozens according to the druid, and they were harming some hunters and farmers. It was almost noon when he just organized his things and checked if everything was OK. Putting his bag and his small sharpened short sword, he then set off again.
The place was a bit far, but Madara had no difficulty getting there, even having to have traveled the entire day. When night fell again, he had arrived at the location, but this was intentional, after all, these creatures spread out during the day through the forest and returned to the nest at night.
'Now let's look for them...' Madara murmured internally. He began to jump between the trees trying to find the location of the nest until he finally found a place smelling of rot and with the sound of small growls in the area, these creatures did not bother to hide their presence until he finally found it.
He landed on a tree where he had a good view and saw that there were, at least about fifty of them surrounding a nest, which was a place made with various debris they found, and even bones of animals and people.
Madara didn't want to waste time, so he leaped onto a Nekker jumping and kicked it in the air, sending the creature flying and screaming, while the others quickly turned their attention to Madara landing in front of the nest, he didn't stop there, performing various hand seals, he began to spit fire onto the little monsters and the nest was also consumed by the flames as they spread rapidly.
The Nekkers, surprised by this, began to scream in agony as the fire started to burn them as well. And the creatures, even with fire killing them, seemed to have gotten angry wanting to kill this human, before falling dead. Madara found himself surrounded by monsters jumping on him, and began to kick the little "fireballs" when they attacked him, performing ninja pirouettes, dodging all those annoying creatures. It was after a few minutes of dodging and attacking that the creatures finally began to fall burned to the ground. Some fled, but were killed after having their body carbonized and no longer being able to withstand their wounds. Some time later, the nest itself began to burn with the fire going inside it, and more and more Nekkers began to come out of it. He was annoyed at first but ended up having fun while fighting with his taijutsu against the little creatures. Some time later, the battle had ended and, finally, Madara had completed his last mission.
Then, he just picked up some heads as proof from some cremated bodies and ended up staying in the forest while sleeping in a tree waiting for the dawn of the next day to continue his journey. Returning to Cintra again, it was in the middle of the afternoon when he landed at his dwelling, and after picking up the ghoul's head, he now needed to take it to the druid of the castle.
But he didn't know how he would be treated if he simply arrived at the gate and said, "I want to speak with the royal wizard." He believed it wouldn't end well. So, he took a different path: instead of going to the gate, he quickly dodged, passing by the sentinels of the walls and the castle while entering the place. Madara began to jump around the place until he reached the main towers and began to run vertically until he found a specific window.
Ciri was at the window at that moment, waiting for Madara for many days, but he still hadn't appeared. She always believed he would show up after their meeting many days ago and looked out the window waiting for the boy to come, but there was no sign of him. Ciri there was a spoiled girl, so this was the expected behavior of a girl raised that way, expecting Madara to do exactly what she wanted, but the boy never cared for her whims.
"Am I going to have to go after him again?" she murmured softly, puffing her cheek and pouting while looking down at the city below her.
'What is he doing...' While there was no sign of Madara, she wondered internally, that until a large shadow appeared at the window at that moment.
She was startled by the shadow and saw that it was Madara, but it was too late, she had screamed in fright, as she began to fall backwards and alerted the guards, who quickly entered the room with the scared sound of the princess. "Princess Cirilla, are you alright?" A man in richly detailed armor with the royal crest of Cintra, looked concerned as she was on the floor, Cirilla seeing the guard, looked alarmed, while she quickly stood up and looked worried towards the window, if Madara was still there, but there was no one else.
She sighed in relief, before turning back to the royal guard. "I'm fine. Just fell, don't worry," she spoke praying for the man to leave while she was already standing, showing that she didn't need help.
The guard looked at her for a while, finding her behavior suspicious, but in the end said nothing, as he left the room. When she saw that he had left the room, she sighed in relief while her attention returned to the window. "You came! Where are you?" she asked looking towards the window, hoping that Madara was still there.
In the end, he was there; after all, he stuck his head in and saw her looking at him with joy. He just stepped out and stayed hidden on the side of the window in a vertical position, then came in from the outside and landed in front of Ciri.
"You didn't have to make such a scene," he murmured in a neutral tone.
"And you shouldn't enter a girl's room like that," she scolded.
"It was you who invited me, as far as I remember," he retorted, crossing his arms.
"You haven't shown up for days. What happened?" She changed the subject, wanting to know why he hadn't come earlier, causing Madara to raise an eyebrow. Did this girl think he owed her something?
"I had some things to do, but I came here for a reason." He spoke, ignoring her demands, after all, he had a purpose for coming here.
"Hm..." She scratched her head and noticed the bags near him, covering her nose as soon as she smelled them. "What is that smell?! It's horrible!" She complained.
"They're monsters." He just commented, his sour look turning quite excited.
"Monsters?! Really, can I see?" She wanted to see the creatures Madara was carrying.
"It's nothing special to see, I want to talk to the wizard. Can you call him for me?" He asked, and despite being a bit dissatisfied with Madara's refusal, Cirilla nodded.
"Sure, I can call him. Just give me a moment; I'll go to his room," She said in an authoritative tone, straightening her dress and leaving through the door.
The princess left the room, and the royal guard looked a bit surprised at her after what had happened. She looked at him and quickly said, "I need to see Mousesack, I'm going there," she said, wanting to see the druid.
The guard nodded and accompanied her, after all, his job was to protect her, as well as all her family.
