"If only this death dealing wind wasn't around, for if it wasn't, today would truely be a perfect day".

Kessler didn't mind speaking out loud to himself most of the time but in all honestly, he rarely was ever alone. Another effect of his earthen qualities was animals having an affinity for him, besides of course the grumpy brown bear that he had encounted a little while ago. It didn't matter if it was a deer, a rabbit, birds, worms, whatever the animal was, everyone of them had a voice and the ability to speak towards Kessler, he was able to speak back to them and have some of the best conversations that he could remember. No matter the time of year either, the walk back from the mountains to Kaguya village was always a peaceful and enjoyable one. He tried not to think about what the crying man was pleading for when he had to leave the family, he had only done what the man was asking for once and already it was spreading like wildfire in the area. A simple act of freeing a family that was already doomed from something that they didn't want to see all the way through. This deathly wind was changing everyone and Kessler was trying his best to make sure that he also did not change with it. His thoughts quickly returned to the present and how this road used to be so busy with people every single day. Now he would be lucky if he saw one person on thier way to and from the village, usually in a huge rush to avoid the death wind that everyone was so afraid of. Kessler looked behind him to see if anyone was coming up, there wasn't a huge surprise on his face when he didn't see a soul. Looking to the ground made him smile though, as he was seeing that with every step he took, the earth was covering his tracks. So many things were out of his control, life in general seemed to be on a downward spiral every single day but he was determined to rise every single morning and do whatever he could to help everyone he knew; to help the people that he cared about and if there was some time left in the day, himself too, however grim all of that seemed to him.
Kessler tried not to think of that too much though and he really didn't have to try too hard to forget about it, for as he was coming up to the entrance to the village, he noticed the guards having a hard time with what seemed to be a teenage girl.

"What's going on here?", Kessler spoke as he stepped in between the two guards with thier weapons drawn, one of them standing on each side of him. The village was normally a peaceful place, yes there had been a few instances with people getting too drunk at the local eating house and Kessler would have to make sure they didn't cause problems, but this young woman seemed to mean business, as did the guards.
