Having made it well past the treeline, Setsu paused behind a tree. It was clear that he could be dealing with this longer than he would otherwise want. The trolls were at home in this terrain and had no problem tracking him in the way he was moving, having shown them his ability to jump great distances. He dearly desired to no longer be followed despite the thrill he had enjoyed.
Desire... That reminded him of something he had been carrying all along. The omnillium orb. He had just a bit of time before he needed to move again. Maybe there was a way out using this thing. It's delivery had come with a hefty promise, it was time to test this.
Setsu held it in his hands and began to breath, deepening with every breath. His eyes were closed, otherwise he would have seen the regular rainbow glow of the orb begin to increase till his whole body was bathed in it's light. Within, Setsu was focused on a feeling he didn't yet trust, which somehow felt like a type of home. Having had a deep connection to the chakra nature of wind for his whole life as a shinobi, the new feeling of this altered nature of earth within his chakra system was hopelessly alien despite being his.
Still, intuition called him to embrace it as best he could. As he tried, a memory of one of his early instructor's techniques popped solidly into focus. Something about that technique connected with what Setsu felt. Outside, the light flashed from the orb briefly and then was returned to it's normal level of brilliance.
