The way of life

The sound of the city, bustling and lively as always, had numerous people on the sidewalk and many cars on the road. voices mixing together, with the sounds of the advertising in his ears. The life in a city was so much more active than nature was. So the sword monk found himself dazed with the number of souls he encountered on his journey through the dazzling central city. He had been to numerous cities before, and visited each one more than once... but he spent most of his time simply traveling across the land.

So when the blaring sound of a siren goes by, Taiyo would jump as it passed. Yet never did his smile leave his face. The monk simply walked in the mass of the mob with everyone else. Despite his homeless state, he was fairly clean and the man seemed to be in good spirits. Everyone had their heads down in their mobile devices or were chatting to their neighbors. A lovely sight to see so many human's together, and such life being enjoyed. A true testament to the current age they lived in. Sure there were threats, but in this moments one could forget those threats.

It wasn't till a ball came rolling out onto the side walk and the sword monk stepped on it before falling onto his back. Though it didn't hurt, it knocked the wind out of him. A small child coming to run over and fetch their ball. A boy, roughly six or seven staring him in the eyes before saying "sorry" only to dart back to his friends. Taiyo now out of his stupor and firmly back into reality would climb to his feet before laughing and dusting himself off. He would take his seat on a bench before looking out over the town. 

The Sword monk deciding to rest now that he had come back to his senses. Walking for long periods of time required him to turn his mind off, and as such the idea of returning to such a task was not welcome at the moment. Setting his sword beside him while he rested, the giant odachi leaned against his shoulder while he rested. That is until one of the older kids decided to snag his sword. The sword monk not wishing to hurt the teenage boy could only shout "hey!" but was replied with the door of the orphanage shutting in his face, leaving Taiyo standing out front with only a few smaller kids in the front playing. 

"Well... Anyone know where the care taker is?"

The homeless man asked, but at first none of the kids spoke up, leaving the man to stand with his hands on his hips and a perplexed look on his face. Surely someone around here would get his blade back from the teen.
