This jungle was nothing quite like home, but the humidity, thickness of the air, and temperature even in the nighttime, reminded him so much of the ash and heat of the volcanoes of Holmund. This was as close to his old home as he would get for the time being and as long as he was here, he might as well find those pack of bandits Temple had given him the tip of that were lurking somewhere in this jungle. It was just what he needed to turn in a couple of thugs to the local magistrate and collect the bounties on their heads.
Jehu grinned to himself as he continued on his path. Though the weight of his gear was surely heavy, he thought not on his burden and of the atmosphere around him. For the time, the wilds of the jungle kept their distance and left him to his peace, but he did not find that at all disturbing. But it just felt so good to finally be in an environment that was so much more to his liking. Searching for bandits in the middle of the night in the hot, humid jungle, was almost like hunting witches and evil mages through the smokes and fogs back on his native island. Yet he wandered through the dense jungle trees like any other foreigner.
His dusty black hair, which blended into the shadows, was pulled up and away from his clay-red face, a face that was even opaque in the darkness. And with his one good eye, he felt through the darkness, fearing that he would have to make camp before he could continue on. Yet, he knew that if he did, perhaps the bandits would hear of his coming and disappear before he even arrived. Because life refused to be fair, one must harness what time they had while they had it. But then suddenly he felt his weight pass over several twigs that responded to him with an uproarious snap! Crap, now the bandits really heard him coming now.
