The path into New Ozai was well worn, but obviously well built, a testament to its previous owners. The various rocks in the road had ether been smoothed over, removed, or pulverized to the point that they offered no resistance to his plodding feet. Grunting, he shifted his pack to make it easier to carry.
Sweeping a stray strand of hair out of his eyes, Bao Jian looked around as he stopped for a second. Leaning on the long staff he carried, one end of it wrapped in a leather cover, Bao surveyed the surrounding land.
Why the hell am I doing this again?
He shook his head as he stood along the road. Glancing left and right, Bao rolled his neck until it relaxed, then put the long staff on his shoulder and continued.
Bao drew in a deep breath…then pounded his chest as a racking cough bubbled out. After one or two of these, his body seemed to settle down again.
I knew I should have been more careful around those damn fumes…too late now I guess…
Glancing up the road, he finally saw the outline of New Ozai come into sight. It was originally an Earth Kingdom city, so it was going to be quite different (and refreshing) to Bao. Running one hand through his hair, he continued down the road towards it. Checking his bag he kept on his waist, Bao counted his ammunition stockpile.
hmm…I might have to restock soon…
