The colony today was as busy as yesterday and the day before yesterday dawned. After all, many engaged heavily in endless training for the tournament, which was in a bit under a day from now. Jin and his troublesome apprentice, Stevan, were headed toward the titanium gates of the colony.
They walked alongside each other. Stevan, being one filled with energy all the time, could barely keep up to Jin. Or rather, he couldn't stop losing him. Jin walked quite slowly about the village, taking his time. Stevan was even convinced for a trifle that he was doing it on purpose.
One look at Jin's face was enough to change his mind. That face he retained was not that of a playful clown.
Jin stopped in front of the gates where he was spotted by several guards. The guards seemed suspicious of him. Many hadn't seen him before. This was, after all, Jin's first time leaving the walls via its established exit as opposed to simply teleporting or walking through them.
