I was sitting on a rock, in which was located atop a gigantic waterfall. My Cloak lay in a heap to the side, and I fiddled with the Mask in my hands.

I gazed thoughtlessly out at the beautiful lake that stretched out before me, and the ghost of a true smile lit my features.

A dense forest surrounded it, with rocks littering the shore of the lake.

The beauty of it all, was the fact this lake was Crystal clear. It seemed to Glow a faint light blue, but that was due to the sun dancing across the surface.

It showed absolutely no signs of pollution, and judging by how untouched it was, you could tell nobody had been here in many, many years. Perhaps centuries.

My legs were folded Indian style, with my hands plants on my knees. The Chunin Exams would start tomorrow. They were just waiting for the late arrivals to show up.

Inhaling slowly, I attempted to push the worry out of my mind. It was giving me a headache.

A realization dawned upon me. I hadn't sung since I was first brought into the village. It tended to calm me in times of turmoil, or better known as, After I've been chased away from yet another village.

Back straightening, I took my Mask from my lap, before placing it gently atop my Cloak.

It took me a few moments to actually think up song, and when I did, my smile softened.

"You fascinated me, Cloaked in Shadows and Secrecy..

The beauty of a Broken Angel.~

I ventured carefully, Afraid of what your thought I'd be..

But pretty soon I was entangled.

You take me by the Hand, I question who I am.~

Teach me how to fight, I'll show you how to win.

You're my Mortal flaw, and I'm your Fatal sin.

Let me feel the sting,

The pain,

The burn,

Under my Skin!

Put me to the test, I'll prove that I am strong.

Won't let myself believe, that what we feel is wrong..

I finally see what you knew was inside me all along..~

And behind this Soft Exterior..

Lies a Warrior."

[Song goes further, but it's too long. owo]

My words came out awkward at first, a few notes off-tune. However, as I went on, they flowed more naturally, lilting to the proper keys.

As my last note trailed off, I gazed down at the lake, a sense of calm washing over me.

A sudden Idea came to me.

Taking out my Summoning scroll, I sunk my teeth into my thumb, before smearing it across the parchment.

Mira appeared as called, and I grinned. She eyed me curiously, before gazing out at the landscape.

"Woah, you found something nice.." She murmured, and I nodded.

"Hey, Mira, can you freeze the water?" I asked, shifted into a standing position as I glanced at the Albino through the corner of my eyes.

"I can try.." She muttered, before lurching from my shoulder, and down towards the lake.
