General Information
--------------------
Name: Ittou Zenten
Actual Age: 250
Appearing Age: 25
Gender: Male
Appearance
Ittou is about 6 feet 2 inches tall, an average height in his family tree. He has a semi-muscular build but he is toned keeping him looking slim; not showing his true strength. His hair is a shimmering silver color and is combed back to keep it under control. Ittou has dark bushy eyebrows along with his scraggily goatee. His skin is a slightly tanned white, with dark green eyes and a robust chin. He has midsized nose with long mouth and a defined brow line.
Ittou wears a white muscle shirt under a black adorned leather coat. The coat itself is long, stretching all the way down to his knees. The arms of the coat have a crisscrossed leather strap pattern with a white lotus symbol on the bicep area. The top of the coat has short white fur covering the back of his neck. His pants are black with white wave designs and he wears black sandals with white socks. Ittou carries his Zanpakutô in his left hand most of the time but he has been known to wear it under his coat with the hilt sticking out over his right shoulder.
Personality
Ittou has a fun and out-going personality. Things that annoy other people, Ittou tends to just brush off. He likes to play and joke around but when things get serious, so does he. He is always thinking about ways to get stronger and even though he doesn't always want to fight; he understands that sometimes there is no other way around it. Ittou never refuses a challenge even though the odds are stacked against him. He doesn't like to hurt others, even in battle, except for hollows and other evil people that don't care about innocent lives. Ittou would rather take some damage and knock out his opponents out than actually fatally wound them. Some call him stubborn and bull-headed for his attitude in battle but Ittou is just fine with that.
During battle his demeanor changes as he gets serious and loses his carefree attitude. As he battles, he scans the opponents and the battle area to try to think of ways to quickly take down his opponent without seriously wounding them or making a lot of collateral damage. He shows his true power only when his anger grows, but he still has fun in the challenge of battle.
Certain times during battle and at times of great weakness Ittou's split personality came out to play. The alternate ego inside Ittou, "Id", controls the darker more brutal side of his personality. When Id is in control, he no longer cares about anyone. Because of this, Ittou rarely lets himself slip into shadows of his own mind. Ittou likes to keep in touch with people but keeps himself a bay to protect them. He spends most of his free time training and meditating in quiet, secluded places.
History
Ittou was born in Karakura Town and raised like any other child his age. When he was younger he used to have nightmares of dark creatures with white faces, but after he slipped and fell his personality changed and he no longer had nightmares. His parents were regular people, his mother was a school teacher, and his father was the master at a local dojo. Ittou was trained by his father in the ways of the sword and honor. His mother taught him about everything else: trust, compassion and the beauty of the world. When Ittou was 15 his mother mysteriously disappeared one day leaving him and his father alone.
Four weeks of searching and nothing was ever found, not even a trace. Ittou's father became depressed and then he became an alcoholic, he started slowly, but after a while he became totally secluded. By the time Ittou was 18 the dojo was in shambles and his father had run away from home, leaving only some money and a note. It read, "Dear son, don't be mad at me but I'm leaving for a while. I don't know if I will ever return, I am looking for your mother but I have no leads. Take this money and become a better man than I ever could be." Ittou took the money, and he placed it upon himself to repair and restore the dojo to its former glory.
Ittou became a great master of the dojo and trained many students. Although the work he did never made him materially rich, he was happy with just teaching what he had learned to all those who wanted to learn. He lived a hard earned life until a fatal car accident killed him when he was only 29. Afterword, his soul was bound to his dojo and the students began to think it was haunted. Soon after, Ittou's students left and the dojo fell into disrepair once again.
His spirit chain eventually was worn down to nothing and his soul began to transform into a hollow. As this was happening, Ittou was pulled inside himself, and cast into the sea inside his inner world. As he fell, boxes appeared out of the sky and smashed into the water. Ittou began to sink and words began to fill his head, "Find your true power or forever be a slave to your weakness." Suddenly the boxes opened and the sea began to fill with ribbons of all different colors. Ittou struggled to find the one that he needed to live. After a few minutes of searching and pulling ribbons, Ittou found a simple red ribbon with the kanji for heaven on it. As he grabbed the ribbon he let go of his breathe and began to sink into the abyss. Suddenly two hands plunged into the water and grabbed Ittou's arm and pulled him from the water; one was a giant muscular hand and the other was a dark hand that appeared to be made of stone.
When Ittou awoke he was standing inside the ruins of the dojo, wearing a weird mask and holding a katana. Ittou tried to remove the mask with no avail. After about a half hour of trying to pull it off, he got sick and tired of trying and finally smashed the mask with the hilt of his katana. The mask reformed itself on the ground in front of Ittou and a quiet voice echoed from within the mask. It scared Ittou and he left the mask where it was and left the ruins behind.
Soon after, Ittou fought against some hollow and barely won, so sought out a sword master in order to become stronger and help him control his power. He travelled the world until he eventually found one, a vizard named Oushi. Oushi taught Ittou to fight like a shinigami, using his sword, basic Kidô, and hand to hand combat. Oushi also forced Ittou to wear weighted training gear the entire time to increase his stamina and speed. It took Ittou months to finally adjust to the gear and when he finally did Oushi made it even heavier and pushed Ittou even harder. Ittou naturally had a lot of power and Oushi knew this, he even told Ittou he had great power. But that power needed to be controlled in order for Ittou be able to survive his final test, power alone would only get him so far. After years of learning and training Ittou started to treat his master, Oushi more like a father and less like a master.
A few months passed, and Ittou showed Oushi that he had learned almost everything that Oushi could teach him. Ittou finally took off the weighted gear and he felt faster, stronger, and more durable than ever before. Oushi noticed the change in Ittou, and realized that it was time. One day Ittou went to meet Oushi in his hut deep in the woods, but he wasn't there and the hut was empty. The only thing that was left was a note that had a place and a time on it, along with Ittou's name. Ittou thought his master was in trouble and raced as fast as he possibly could to the place in the note. When he got there, Ittou notice he was in the middle of a village that lay in ruins. It hadn't been done recently, it looked at least a hundred years old, dirt and dust covered everything in a thick layer.
Ittou had some extra time before it was the time on the note and he took a look around to search through the ruins. He found no bodies, no bones, not even any graves. It seemed weird to Ittou; Who could have done this and not left any trace? Ittou felt weird, something seemed wrong, he grabbed his sword and prepared for an attack but it never came. He walked back into the middle of the ruins and his master stood there. He said nothing and his face had no emotion.
After a long period of silence Oushi finally spoke; "You need to know what happen here Ittou. This village was attacked because a powerful spirit was said to protect it. I was that spirit and I was as strong as you are now, but with all my strength I couldn't stop the brutal slaughter of the town. I was too weak to fight off the hundreds of hollows that attacked. I tried, but in the end my sword lay broken on the ground and everyone was already dead. Then one of the creatures spoke, and do you know what it said? It said that the whole reason that this happen was because they wanted to eat my soul and gain my power. I was crushed with grief and despair; I wanted them to end my life. They would have succeeded too, if the spirit inside my blade hadn't pulled me inside myself. He spoke his name but it wasn't new, I had seen him and heard his name before. After I snapped out of it, I spoke his name and I felt my body fill with power. I killed every one of those bastards, but I was careless and I ended up destroying the town. Now, I must kill you or you must awaken your spirit inside your blade. If you don't this could well happen again, I won't let that happen." Oushi charged at Ittou with his sword drawn.
Ittou and Oushi fought for three days straight. Ittou was exhausted, even after all that training he was still barely a match for his master. Ittou knew the Oushi wasn't even trying, even after all that fighting he didn't even look tired. Ittou was overwhelmed by a fury of his master's attacks. Ittou couldn’t stand after the attacks finally ended. His eyes closed as his master stood over him, about to end Ittou life, when Ittou was plunged inside himself.
Darkness surrounded him and a voice spoke, "Call out my name!"
Ittou screamed into the darkness, "I don't know your name!!!"
The voice spoke again, "Yes you do, and you have always known my name. It took till now to understand it. NOW SPEAK MY NAME!!! "
Ittou's eye's shot open and he spoke his name, "Release your shackles, Raikou-Ookami!!!" Ittou's sword exploded with power and it changed its shape and size. Ittou blocked his master's attack and shot him flying backwards. Ittou spoke, "If you want my power you going to have to take it from me." He referred more to the hollows and anyone else in the world than his master. Ittou was renewed with his new power and he began fight his master again. After another few hours of fighting, Ittou thought that he and his master were evenly matched. He was wrong and Oushi pulled a strange mask from his robes and placed it on his face. Soon after Oushi donned the mask Ittou passed out from his wounds and exhaustion.
Ittou awoke three days later, all patched up and in his master's hut. Only a note with the words "You have taken the first step of your journey, only a million more and you might have a chance to save yourself." Ittou questioned his master's words but Oushi wasn't around to answer them. Ittou left to train with his new power but something felt weird, it was like something else new was there. Ittou brushed it off and continued on his journey.
Only about six months after he left, Ittou took his last step. Ittou had been counting ever step since he left his master's hut. He looked around and took in his surroundings. He was in a beautiful mountain valley hidden deep in the surrounding mountains. He wondered if his master was using a metaphor in his note which would mean that he had wasted all this time. Suddenly, Ittou felt something strangely familiar, but before he could react to the feeling, it was gone and he continued on his journey.

Akuma wears gloves that match is skin tone and wooden sandels.
Personality
Raikou-Ookami personality is slightly off, in that his words usually have double meanings and have a darkness that follows it. His voice is deep and carries a dark tone. His mind is off in a way that when Ittou talks to him he is not all there; he seems distant and far off then the next minute he seems back to normal. When Ittou first found him it appeared he was searching for someone and when he saw Ittou he quickly turned and said "Hhmm, you’re not the one I seek, but you must have been seeking the same thing I am; Power".
He has been helping Ittou ever since, although Raikou-Ookami talks very little when he does his voice has tremendous power and an echoing effect. He is quick to anger and he hates all forms of weakness. He tries pushing his ideals into Ittou and Ittou takes note but he stays on his own path. Although Raikou-Ookami pushes Ittou, deep down he cares for him but he never shows it to Ittou for the fear of giving away his weakness. Raikou-Ookami likes to be called by his given name, "Akuma", when Ittou is talking or referring to him directly.
Relationship to Master
He show some interest in Ittou well being, but he cares more about making him stronger. He pushes Ittou around making him angry and forcing Ittou to try harder. When Ittou finally becomes angry and show his true power Raikou-Ookami becomes content and peaceful. He gives Ittou advice on battle techniques and strategies in the form of riddles and proverbs.
Inner World
Ittou's inner world appears as a floating island over a raging sea. The island's surface is a desert of glass and spires. Statues also appear all over the island and the sound of the sea is heard all over. Although the sea is always crashing underneath the island, the wind never blows. The sky always appears as though it is dusk or dawn but the sun never is fully in the sky. A single lightning cloud hovers over the island never moving but always crackling with crimson energy.
--------------------
Inner Hollow
--------------------
Name: Perfect Ittou" A.k.a Fuzen (imperfect) by Ittou
Gender: Male
Appearance
Ittou's inner hollow appears to look like Ittou except make of stone and wielding a dark katana. He prefers to be called "Perfect Ittou", although Ittou calls him Fuzen or imperfect. "Perfect Ittou" thinks that he should be the one ruling Ittou's body. His hair is black and styled like Ittou's; although it appears to be made of a dark granite. His skin appears to be made of gray stone and he has dark, blood red eyes. He wears what appears to be a black metal suit fused together one piece at a time with bright red, glowing ruins around his cuffs. His lower body appears to be just a silhouette, make out of nothing but shadows. Metal serrations jut out from his shoulders, making it appear as though he has small metal wings.
Personality

He always tries to annoy Ittou and distract him with dirty jokes and insults. His voice is deep and low and it tone is disturbing. Although "Perfect Ittou" hates Ittou he know if Ittou was ever killed so would he, forcing him to care at least about Ittou's well being.
Relationship to Master
"Perfect Ittou" seeks to take control of Ittou's body by any means necessary. He has tried many times before but has only had success a few times in being able to take full control. He usually takes control when Ittou loses control of his emotions in battle or when Ittou is knocked out or asleep. Due to the fact that Perfect Ittou wants to control Ittou's body, he must at least make sure that Ittou is strong and that he can handle himself. If not "Perfect Ittou" is forced to take control and handle the situation by killing everyone around or fleeing to safety.
--------------------
Hollow Abilities
--------------------
Mask Appearance and Summoning
Ittou hollow mask appears to look like a wolf’s face except flatter, smooth and form fitting to Ittou's head. The mask itself is white with red stripes running from the outside of the mask to above the middle of teeth. The teeth run almost all the way across the mask. In order to summon the mask Ittou howls like a wolf as the mask is formed piece by piece. When it is fully formed Ittou's eyes fill with darkness and his iris turns bright, blood red.
Hollow Abilities
Beam Howl: “Viga-Aullar"
- Description of Attack - Ittou plants his feet firmly into the ground and spreads his arms outward. He howls like a wolf, charging a black and red Cero orb in front of his gaping maw. When it fully charges Ittou fires it forward by closing his mouth forcing it into a laser beam.
- Limitation - This beam takes about 10-15 seconds to fully charge but it has a devastating effect. As Ittou is charging the energy, he leaves himself open, and after the attack Ittou must recover for at least another ten seconds. The beam itself is only 8 inches in diameter and it can only go about fifty to seventy feet before it just fades away into the air.
A 2 tier weaker foe could barely with stand a direct blast from this and still be able to function right. A 1 tier weaker foe could take this blast but taking a high amount of damage. An opponent on par with Ittou would still take a medium amount of damage but still be able to fight at their full potential. A foe 1 tier stronger could withstand a direct blast an only suffer a minor amount of damage but still be pushed back a few feet from the force. A 2 tier stronger enemy could withstand the blast a point blank range and only suffer scratches and bruises at most; not only would it not push them back, they could also fight through the blast moving in closer to Ittou.
Lightning Spear: "Centella-Lanza"
- Description of Attack – Ittou focuses his spiritual energy and concentrates into the palm of his hand. He spins the energy and forms it into a red orb about the size of an orange that sparks with electricity. As the energy becomes more focused and dense, it creates a powerful static charge large enough, that he can create a spear of pure crimson lightning. When the orb is fully formed he closes his hand into a fist around the orb causing it to shoot outward into a spear of red energy. The bolt of crimson lightning is about the size of a javelin, around 3 feet long, and it crackles as it surges with electricity.
Ittou uses the spear as a projectile attack but he can also use the spear to block and deflect normal weapon based attacks or a weak projectile as long as it is in his hand. When thrown the spears usually create a small explosion when they contact an object, however if Ittou concentrates enough energy into them he can use them to pin down his foes. Due to his energy’s natural instability however, it last only couple of seconds and could easily be destroyed with a heavy attack or a strong blast. Ittou’s lightning spear isn’t that powerful; however, it is quick and he mainly uses it like an arrancar’s bala.- Limitation - The lightning spear is not a very strong attack, allowing Ittou to use it multiple times while only draining a minimal amount of energy. Although it is quick to form and throw, Ittou still must be able to focus. Basically meaning that in a battle with more melee focused opponents, he would need at least 5 seconds of uninterrupted concentration before he could even form the spear. The spears themselves have a form unlike his other energy based attacks as they can be broken or even caught by more powerful enemies.
A 2 tier weaker enemy hit by a lightning spear would take a moderate amount of damage and may even be pushed back a few feet. A 1 tier weaker foe would take a mild amount of damage but is not very likely to be moved at all. An opponent on par with Ittou hit with it would take some damage but not any more than a light swing of his sword could do. 1 tier stronger foes could break or deflect the spears with a sweep of their sword. A 2 tier stronger enemy hit by the attack would probably laugh at how insignificant it was to even waste the time to use it, let alone the energy used to make it.
--------------------
Zanpakutô Shikai
--------------------
Call Out Phrase: Hyakkiyakou, Raikou-Ookami
Translation - (Release your shackles, Lightning Wolf)
Shikai Appearance
Ittou shikai appears as a 48.5 inch black and red double-sided broadsword. His regular katana transforms in a burst of crimson lightning, extending the blade and changing the guard along with the hilt. The blade turns deep black and increase 2 inches to 40 inches in length and 6 inches wide with sliver edges. The hilt grows to 11 inches and becomes wrapped in a red cord with a black ring on the end, extending from the ring are two red cords about 3.5 inches. The habaki turns into an eastern European sword guard and the tsuba transforms into a black flower shape, also increasing in size. A red blood grove runs from the guard up to tip of the blade.
Shikai Abilities
Power Geyser: (Kensei Sensui)
- Description of Attack – Ittou sweeps his hand from the tip of his sword back to the guard, filling the sword with spiritual energy and smashes the blade into the ground. Spiritual energy is sent forward under the ground in a zigzag pattern, as it does it cracks the ground and causes smaller, weaker geysers to appear as it gets closer. When it reaches the target area the energy churns and swirls rapidly, causing it to become unstable and explode upward into a 7 ft high and 5 ft wide, red and black energy geyser underneath the target.
- Type - Ground based energy tower
- Range - 25ft-50ft
- Limitation - The target must be on the ground or close to it and a simply timed jump can avoid the technique. Ittou must take at least 5 seconds to charge up enough energy for this attack. Ittou can only do this up to three times a day; if he tries to do it anymore it puts too much strain on his body and causes Ittou great pain.
A 2 tier weaker opponent hit by this would take a high amount of damage and be sent flying upwards, stunning them long enough for Ittou to follow it up with a few quick slashes of his sword. A 1 tier weaker foe hit by it would take a medium damage and still be sent flying but could still recover before Ittou had a chance to take advantage of the opening. An opponent on par with Ittou would take normal damage from the attack equivalent to a powerful uppercut and be knocked back. A 1 tier stronger opponent would take the blast head on and they would barely be pushed back nor feel any more than a breeze. To a 2 tier stronger foe it wouldn’t do much more damage than throwing a pepple at them and they would barely feel anything more than the ground shake underneath their feet.
Hell Smashing Crescent Moon: (Heru-Funsai Engetsu)
- Description of Attack - Ittou fills his sword with spiritual energy and swings the blade. About a five foot long, half an inch thick, red blade of energy with a black outline is created. The blade appears in the shape of a crescent moon and it is sent spinning forward. When it hits something the energy inside the blade becomes unstable and explodes with tremendous force. Ittou can only use this technique 3-5 times a day before it starts putting strain on his body; depending on how rested he is.
- Type - Ranged energy wave
- Range - 50ft-100ft
- Limitation - The wave itself is not that thick allowing it to be easily dodged. It also leaves Ittou open after he sends the wave forward. This is Ittou’s most used technique and as such he can quickly charge and release the blade but the more he uses it in a single day, the more it wears on him.
A 2 tier weaker opponent hit by this would take massive damage and be sent flying. A 1 tier weaker foe takes only a medium amount of damage from the explosion and be shaken by its power. A foe on par with Ittou would surmount it to a running haymaker to the chest but still be able to with stand the force and barely move. A 1 tier stronger opponent could withstand at least two of these before the actually noticed it hurt them somewhat, but a 2 tier stronger foe could brush it off as easily as a paper cut.
Lightning Roar: (Raikou-Houkou)
- Description of Attack - - Ittou takes at least 15 seconds to focus his spiritual pressure into his sword. The force of so much of his spiritual pressure inside his sword causes it to vibrate slightly. This vibration builds a static charge inside the blade. Ittou then aims the sword at his target and releases the buildup charge with a sweep of his hand across the blade; from the hilt to the tip of the blade. As the charge dissipates, it arcs across Ittou's hand. When Ittou's hand reaches the tip, the energy is transformed into a bolt of crimson lightning and is shot forward. The energy releases with a loud roar and bang as it is shot out and strikes an object.
- Type - Lightning based energy bolt
- Range - Mid to long range – 25-75 ft
- Limitation - Due to the random nature of lightning, it has a average chance to miss hitting its target. Concentrating raw power into lightning and aiming it also has the side effect of causing damage to Ittou when he uses it. With that in mind, Ittou would also rather use it at a longer distance with no obstacles; so if it does miss, someone else isn't hurt. Ittou can only do this technique about twice a day; anymore and the stress of building up so much energy plus the damage Ittou takes from aiming the bolt forward can cause him to instantly pass out.
A 2 tier weaker opponent would feel the full effects and even be
stunned at the power of this technique. A 1 tier weaker opponent would take a little less damage but would not be stunned. An opponent on par with Ittou would take some damage feeling more like they stuck a knife into an outlet. A stronger opponent would only take slight damage and feel a small shock as the electricity ran through their body, but a 2 tier stronger opponent would barely have a scratch and feel only a little tickle from the lightning.

Sample Post
--------------------
It was a beautiful day in Kagura Town, as the wind swept through the trees in a nearby forest on the edge of town. The sounds of animal’s rustling for food in the thickets and shrubs along with the lively, chirping birds swooping and flapping through the fresh forest air gave the woods it own peaceful music. A man dress in a black coat sat on a branch high up in the air examining the misshapen clouds as they moved overhead. The man stretched out his relaxed muscles before grabbing a nearby apple from his perch and hopping down the forest floor. He started walking aimlessly through the forest taking mental notes as he passed by anything interesting.
“Good, today looks like it will be perfect for a little picnic by the riverside.” said Ittou as his bit into the juicy, freshly picked apple. Ittou enjoyed his serene walks through the woods. The noise of a calm forest relaxed his nerves and set his mind at ease. He headed to his nearby hut, a modest abode with a little window and a thatch roof. As he opened the front door and stepped through the threshold, the hut expanded into a decent sized one bedroom apartment; much bigger than it appeared to be from the outside. He headed into the kitchen and grabbed a few things for his picnic down by the riverside.
“Now what do I want?” questioned Ittou as he picked up a few fresh fruits, vegetables, and freshly baked bread. He placed them inside a small leather pouch along with a couple of stripes of his secret homemade beef jerky. He tied the pouch around his back and grabbed his bottle of spring water from his refrigerator and set back out into the forest locking the door behind him as he left. As he headed toward the river he noticed a particular set of trees twisted one another with a big bird’s nest at the top. Ittou took out a pencil and sketch pad and began drawing a rough outline of the trees. As he progressed he added more and more detail till he was satisfied it was good enough and continued on his way.
The forest was full of life and Ittou took his time to appreciate it, smelling the newly blooming flowers, watching insects crawl around the forest floor, and sketching interesting land formations along with other local flora and fauna. As he approached the river, he noticed that the river’s normal flow was blocked up river causing the fish to crowd by the deeper pools of water near the middle. He decided to see what was up and walked along the river bank till he came across a fallen tree. The tree was broken off and scorched along the truck. “That lightning storm last night must have struck this tree, causing it to block off the river.” Though Ittou to himself as he examined a way to remove the blockage.
Ittou grabbed on the broken part of the truck with one hand and with the other removed his sword from the sheathe and chopped through the rest of the truck, freeing it from the rest. He stabbed his sword into the soft dirt, and using both hand dragged the fallen tree back onto the river bank. The river’s flow returned to normal afterward, and Ittou decided to use the log as a bench for his picnic spot. He unpacked his lunch and began devouring the fresh fruits and veggies. After a few minutes he had already polished off most of his lunch, leaving his beef jerky for last. The sweet and spicy jerky was Ittou favorite, eating it with voracity and remorse; he savored the last bit for a few seconds before swallowing it with a few large gulps off his water bottle.
As Ittou relaxed, an older gentleman came walking through the forest into the clearing. He was holding a cane in his right hand and an emerald speckled vase in the other. As the man walked closer his cane slipped from his hand causing him to fall.
“Dam it,” said the old man as he reached for his cane. Ittou seeing he needed some help jumped across the river and to the man’s side.
“Here, let me help you up,” stated Ittou as he held out his right hand toward the fallen man.
“Thank you, young man; I was trying to bring my wife’s ashes to her favorite spot in the woods.” Said the old man as he got to his feet and grabbed his wooden cane.
“That is very nice of you Mr.?”
“Just call me Boomie, that’s what my friends call me,” said the old man showing his surprisingly white smile.
“Ok, Boomie, would you like my help burying your wife’s remains?” inquired Ittou trying to be nice.
“Yes I would, Mr.?”
“Ittou, Ittou Zenten”
“Well nice to formally meet you Ittou, Now my wife’s favorite spot was about where that fallen log is sitting” Said Boomie pointing across the river to Ittou picnic spot.
“Ok” Said Ittou quickly jumping across the river. He dug a hole about two feet deep, carefully placing the urn in the bottom. He replaced the dirt back on top of the urn and padded the soil down with his hands.
“Thank you Ittou. Now if you could place a stone upon the dirt so I can remember where her ashes lye.”
“I’ll do you one better” said Ittou as he grabbed the nearby fallen log and with all his might threw it up it to the air. Ittou drew his sword and jumped up to the log as it slowly reached the arc of it flight. With a few precisely timed and aimed swings, he turned to log into a wooden burial marker. Ittou caught it as it landed and planted it firmly at the head of the grave.
“Thank you very much Mr. Ittou, now my wife can rest in peace.” Said the Boomie joyful at his wife’s new resting place. “But I really must be off; I don’t want my daughter to start worrying that I have gone missing.”
Boomie turned away and started heading back out of the clearing the way he came in, whistling as he did.
Ittou packed up his lunch and refilled his water bottle before laying down for a quick nap. The cooling cross breeze helped him drift off into a deep slumber before he knew it. A few hours passed an Ittou awoke just in time to see the sun setting over the horizon, painting the sky with a palette of bright oranges and purples. Ittou stretched out again and stared out across his peaceful surrounding before setting back home. The fresh scent stilled lingered in the air as Ittou made it home. He unpacked his stuff, showered quickly and laid down in his comfortable bed. He picked a nearby book and began reading briefly before drifting off into a deep restful sleep; a smile upon his face.
