Flower Path [Job/Solo]

Upon hearing that the country of Kina would be opening their gates for foreign people through this festivals, Noir thought it would be a good chance to do another traveling. It would be her first time ever to visit Kina and she wondered if she could get into another interesting adventure soon. She heard from some merchants on the street that Kina had a really beautiful scenery, with a lot of cherry blossoms tree scattered around the county. What Noir heard was proven though when she arrived at the country, she loved the cherry blossoms tree as well as the mysterious vibe she could feel within it, it felt almost magical...and mystical.

One of the clans that gained her interest was the Morihana clan, the fact that they were one of the oldest clan in kina and that they surfed accross the lands made the curious golden eyed girl wanted to know more. It also sounded familiar to her, but she couldnt tell why... but oh well, it was no use to think about it for now. As she travelled to the spot of old country capital, she saw a cherry tree forest which they said will led her into the Morihana's clan estate. "Let's go, Haku." The girl said to her liger beside her as they slowly entered the forest. This time, it would be just the two of them... Well, Shousui was still helping the Koval estate, so she was unable to leave and Kuzunoha stayed with the older woman in the mean time. "Dont you think it brings back memories, Haku?" Noir said as she slowly walked, her words sounded soft and caring. "It was just the two of us back then, but it seems our group gotten larger, huh?" The girl showed her rare smile as she sighed happily, "I hope we can always be together." Haku would respond to Noir with a low growl, there was no words needed for the girl to understand what her companion meant, she knew he felt the same as well.

As they went deeper into the forest, Noir noticed that something was off with the forest. It seemed that were walking in circle, she noticed several places that she had passed from before but somehow she kept seeing it again and again. "A maze...?" She murmured to herself, but this would be no problem for her. With Haku's nose and her eidetic memory, she was confident that she would find the exit. If she couldnt, it might be a waste to burn this pretty forest so she could just find the exit quickly... but no, seriously, she wouldnt do that, it was not her style at all. Noir admitted she did enjoy the peaceful strolling in the middle of this beautiful forest, but she wanted to visit the Morihana building as soon as possible.

As she was more focused now, Noir would be able to tell whether or not they passed the area before and she would also ask Haku to make sure by using his nose. There was several trial and error, but it didn't take long for both of them to quickly create the mental map inside their head. There was several hints and traps as well, scattered around the forest either to help the visitors and to make them confused. If Noir's theory was right, then she just had to follow this certain flower as their guide. Although...this flower had a twin... there was another flower with the same color and same shape, although the leaves looked different, so Noir had to be extra careful to not mixed them up. Then finally, Noir could see the exit right in front of her. The Morihana main temple... standing tall in front of her...
