The fluttering of wings came as a soft sound behind Itami, as luster landed nimbly on his feet looking at the soleum Itami. "You look lost, brother." Said luster clearly picking up on his sorrow. "Tell me, why do you mourn for your past, it is not something you can hold onto, and as time itself will slip from your grasp every time you try and clutch it."
Luster's wings drew in behind him, as he looked off into the distance. "This soul needs guidence..... perhaps i can show him just a small meaning of life." Thought Luster. After all no one is beyond saving. "Come with me, Itami. I have something I want to show you." was the next sentance luster spoke before heading into the woods on foot.

"What can the forest bring?" he said quietly, mostly to himself. No answer was expected, for now. In his mind he was sure he would find out what the purpose of this was. His feet took him towards Luster, allowing his wings to have some rest for a change. It was still cold at night, with wind starting to blow against his chest. It forced him to cover his chest, curdling himself. Itami could still see up ahead, just to follow Luster. "What can the forest bring?" he said again, this time loud enough for Luster to hear.

"What can the forest bring." came Itami's call to luster as he lead the way through the forests, which seem to grow thicker for the moment. Luster smirked a bit at this question as he contiuned villigently into the forests heading towards the great hills off in the distance, even though he couldn't seem them through the thick forest he knew they where there.
"We are taking a journey so perhaps you may find at least a small meaning of life." said luster contiuning to lead the way. "Be silent now, and focus, as i said i have something to show you."

His hand pushed aside the branches that were in the way towards his leader. Itami smirked and wanted to speak out a remark, but he had a strange obedience right now. No words came out of his mouth. The only noise he made was footsteps. His wings were curled around his body, keeping him warm, along with a strange feeling of safety. The winged man blew upwards, simply to get his hair out of his eyes. He could not get lost in the forest. "Satisfy me," he said in his head, still following Luster.

They eventually came to a mountainous region in the distance and after climbing it he seemed to stop on one of the large mounds that looked over the forests, soon Luster stopped completely looking at Itami.
"Here it is." said Luster to Itami, as he waited for Itami to most likely question him. It had been a pleasent journey to get here, and he was sure Itami would learn at least something from this.

Eyes met at the top of the mountains that they had reached. Itami brushed his hair out of his eyes once more, for the simple purpose of getting a better look at where they had come. He flapped his wings a little, pondering about the reason why Luster had brought him here. "It has been nice coming here," he said quietly to his guide, still looking around. "But I am confused on the purpose of this. This place is pleasant, no doubt, but why is it important?" His mind was very questioning, but that does not mean he did not trust the journey. Instead, he waited patiently for a lesson to come to him.

Luster grinned, Itami was so close to the realization but it appeared as if he hadn't come to it yet. He had said it had been a nice journey, but he was still expecting something to be shown or something cool, fancy or groundbreaking to be shown to him. In responce Luster picked up a rock from the ground. "Here it is." said Luster. Hopefully Itami would get what he was trying to teach instead of him having to explain it. Either way Itami would realize it was the truth.

All focus was on the rock that was shown. He could tell there was nothing very exciting about the rock, but he was trying to see the purpose still. "The rock shows the importance of this place, but why?" he asked himself in his head. His wings stilled on his back as he thought, all focus now directed towards the rock. "Thats nice," he told Luster, scratching his head a little. "It can be called insignificant, but overall, it is still there. At least, that's how I view it." Itami looked towards Luster's eyes before speaking again. "How do you view this?"

"A rock is a rock." said Luster simply. As Luster expected Itami had focused on the object, people's minds always focused on material things. He was focusing on the destination, or the goal. The end of the journey. He was not happy about the rock, however he had been happy during some part of this. "Tell me, from when we left, when where you the most happiest?" asked Luster "Where you happy, when you saw this rock? where you happy when we arrived at a place that held almost no significance? Where you happy when we set off on a journey? or where you happy before i dragged you into this matter?" asked Luster a bit curiously. It was obvious to luster which answer was correct, and Itami shouldn't be absolutely dense enough not to get it. But he was prepared to guide this lost mitsukai on his way through this simple lesson.

The winged man stood there, thinking about the entire journey. "Reaching this place and looking at it. I enjoyed that the most," Itami stated, starting to look around more. He was thinking about the other choices, and how they weren't too enjoyable. The rock had little purpose really, and he wasn't really happy to be going out to somewhere. He was definately not happy before they went out of the village. "This is something simple at best, I suppose. Now one question I have is why do you want to teach me?"

"Becuase a soul without a purpose is a grim existance indeed." said Luster before explainning what he would have said. "your enjoyed reaching this place to see it because you where expecting something big and glamerous." said luster first saying why Itami most likely came on this journey. "You where happy until you saw it was simple. It was the journey that made you happy, not the destination. Tell me Itami, what is it that you want? What is your journey going to be, that will keep you happy and content. No one without a purpose, or a journey can truely be happy." said Luster as he grinned a bit, looking out into the distance. He thought of Jack at the moment, he couldn't save his brother exactically, however he had eased part of jack's worries.

"Of course, everyone needs a purpose, which is exactly what I want," Itami said quietly, looking towards the ground. His purpose was taken away before, and for the longest time he was without anything to do but kill. "I wanted to protect our people in the past, but that's a dream that is long gone. I wanted to protect the Blade of Balance. After that event, which you should know which one, I was unable to find something new." He bent down and grabbed dirt from the ground, only to just drop it again after clenching it. "But I can find no one that I care about. I've been killing and killing everyone for no reason, just to try to fill some senseless void. And that just brought more confusion!" The wanderer showed Luster his markings, ending the gesture by pointing to the one on his face. "I marked myself in order to get more power. They gave it to me, but what has that done for me?! Why am I doing this to myself?!" Tears dripped down his cheeks as he punched the ground. "I don't know what to do."

Luster was curious as to why Itami thought that the blade of balance would need protecting anymore. "Why do you want to protect the blade of balance? Are your intentions really good? or are they just to gain the power for yourself." said Luster watching as Itami moved around.

A frown spread across his face when these questions were asked. He felt quite insulted that he would think he would use the blade for selfish reasons. "You really think that I have dark intentions to use that blade?" he asked in a cold way. "You think I would repeat that same mistake that happened long ago? I want to prevent that from happening." Itami turned away from his guide, still feeling pretty sour about what he had said. "That blade needs to be in the right hands, and I don't think anyone is suited for it. It should just be left in the temple, guarded from use. At least, that's what I believe it right." He calmed down a little bit, turning back to Luster.

"Itami..... I assume you know the legends of that blade. Both Mitsukai and Kumori." said Luster. Luster knew the blade was in capable hands. "That blade can only be put together by the choisen one, a person who is perfectly in balance. The man you fought there is that man. I know him personally as Alex drake. There could be no safer place then in his hands."
Luster knew Itami probably felt cheated from some sort of destiny he thought he held. "Somethings are better left forgotten. If that blade slips into the wrong hands then perhaps you where right. However look at how even you as a mitsukai were unable to obtain it." said luster.
