"Bravo," he said while clapping his hands in an appreciative gesture. " It thought you wouldn't do that well on your first try."
Epotheros admired her detemination, but was still concerned for her health. Through her injuries were not life threatening, or a cronic health risk, he believed she shouldn't push herself. He also didn't want to dicourage her from training, because her ability could become a major advantage in the future. He decided that if she looks as if she has become fatiueged, he would stop the lesson.
"I'm going to build the bridge," he said with a mischevious smile on his face.
After he had pulled the entire bidge up out of the canyon he sat down on the edge of the cliff and took a meditative state. Two orbs of blue light formed in the center of the canyon and extende in both directions to connect to two sides. Soon after that the two strands turned into a crystal looking rope or beam. Panel like structures began to form conecting the two beams to create a bridge made out of solid oxygen. Epotheros the started to walk across it, sliding the old rope bridge along with him. When he was on the other side he retied the ends with some new rope and made sure it was secure.
The one he made from crystalized oxygen was satrtin to melt and return to his gasious state due to the fact he was no longer pumping energy into ot anymore. As the last part of it disapered, the rope bridge fell down a little ways and tightened, bobbing up and don for a few seconds. He then walked on it to make sure it was secure. When Epotheros had finally made it back to their side, he laid down on the grass and took a break. After a few minutes he was snoring and clearly exausted.

Stirring suddenly out of a deep troubled sleep Larien sat up looked around.
"How did I get here?"
Standing up she stretched and felt a new ache on her body. No, Two new aches. Looking down she saw that she had a long, deep cut in her leg and a stab wound from what looked like it could have been from an arrow. The blood looked to have a slight green tint in certain light.
Looking back up she ran outside and started looking around.
Damn.
Spotting the tree that Epotheros and Clover were practicing on she walked over to it and placed her hands on the gnarly holes. A green glow flowed from the palms of her hands and into the tree healing the gashes.

Before he goes to fix the bridge, he sees Larien running out of the house in a panic, trying to heal the tree that he was just at.
"My word, Larien, what is going on? That tree is dead, so why do you need to heal it?"

Clover continued smiling when Epotheros praised her efforts. She nodded to him and said, "I'm going to keep practicing."
Just as she was about to take another shot at the tree, Larien ran out to it. Clover's eyes widened and she eased on the bow string then returned the arrow to her quiver. Hearing Epotheros' question, she wanted to know the same thing. Did they do something wrong? Clover wasn't sure what to make of Larien's outbust.

"It's a long story, just shut up both of you for a moment."
Surging more energy to the tree the holes shrank and finally dissapeared. Standing up she sighed and rolled her shoulders back. The wounds that were on her leg seconds ago were gone.
"Harm none of old, for I tie thee to thine fate."
With those simple words Larien walked calmly toward another tall willow, jumped up into the branches and concealed herself within the leaves.
You need to tell them you fool. Swallow your damn pride.

"What would happen if someone cut this tree down, like they do every single day? Well, Clover just try shooting at the rock. With the current consentration you have it will only scratch the surface but not damage the arrow. I'm going to fix the bridge."
((Does the whole bridge senario thing I did a few posts ago.))
Epotheros lies down and falls asleep from exhaustion after semi repairing the bridge.

Clover was utterly confused. From Larien’s actions Clover was almost positive that Epotheros and she had done something awful. She felt a little down, but once she was reminded of her training determination settled within her once again. Clover nodded and walked slowly to the side so that she wouldn’t hit the tree again. At this angle she was positive that the tree would be safe, from her at least. Clover reached for her an arrow, her back stiffened and ached with pain. She winced and took a deep breath.
Clover placed the arrow on the bow’s shelf and pulled the bowstring back to her jaw line. Again she concentrated on focusing the wind around her arrow as well as guiding it for an accurate shot. She called out to the wind and then released the arrow sending it towards the rock. The wind’s force was strong, but not strong enough. The arrow skidded off of the rock’s surface leaving nothing but a small groove.
She continued shooting, concentrating her power around her arrows. Once she shoot five times she walked over to the rock to retrieve her arrows. Luckily none of them were terribly damaged. The rock was still well intacted only sporting a few scratches. Clover now felt tired and worn. She sat down on the rock and rested thinking of how she could improve.

A few drops of rain fell upon Epotheros while he was resting and as he got up a lound boom of thunder opened the heavns and a tournent of water fell from the sky. He then got up a ran into the old man's house for shelter hoping to find every one in there. When Epotheros got inside he was already soaked to the bone. The old man then offered him a piece of cloth to dry off with and Epotheros took his offer. He then told the stable manager that he semi-fixed the bridge and that they would be leaving for the mountains tomarrow after they rest up that night. He then lied down on the floor with his hands behind his head and driffted off to sleep.

The morning has come and the team make it across the bridge without any issues, except the delay caused by the achs and pains from the previous fall. Kamots also found his way across the bridge as well as the other pets. The next town and last town they would reach before the mountain top temple, where they would find the relic. The temperature near the base of the mountain was pretty warm, but as they climbed further up it began to get cooler. It was a fortunate thing that the season was summer and that snow remained on the ground near the top of the mountain.
As the group were in sight of the small town, an arrow flew in their direction. It was an ambush, but this time their opponates were smarter and more like them. The ambusher's were orcs, stronger than the average human but not as intelligent. Three of them were on the ground and two were in the trees. The ones on the ground sported, crude curved, thick blades and the ones occupying the trees had crossbows with a 6 arrow consecutive fireing rate. They all had steel, or iron chest plates and the ones on the ground had shields.

I watched epotheros give clover a lesson in elements I was imprested by his knowledge of the elements and how they worked together as epotheros made the bridge I thought about helping but decided he could handle it I then walked toward his bridge I was impressed my its quality I then put out my hand and grabbed onto one of the ropes “vas goma” I whispered incanting the ropes so that they would never break content with my work I went back to watching epotheros and clover I soon saw larien running toward the tree clover had been using for training she then presided to heal the tree which seemed odd to me sense it was just an old stump so I walked up closer and “larien r u ok” I said as I looked at the tree then back to larien
((sorry its been so long sense I last posted sweatdrop ))

"Clover, Larien, take out the guys in the trees. Tramer and I will dispatch the three on the ground."
"I'm not in the mood to play, so I'll finish this quickly." he said as he drew his longsword from where it was resting on his back. The blade began to glow red as flames flickered in the air around it.
"Let's see how good that armor is now."
Epotheros then ran towards the group that was stationed on the ground as the one on the far right came to intercept him, he swung his blade in a basic, but effective downward diagonal slash only to meet the orcs blade with a burst of steam.
"What the... Oh bloody Hell." he said as he noticed that the orc had created a barrier of water around his blade. The orc then jumped back as an arrow from the tree hit the stuned Epotheros in his right shoulder. The arrow then lit up with electricity that caused Epotheros to jolt and fall to his knees. He was able to regain his ability to move and jump out of the way, just before another one of the orcs sent a blade of wind at him with a swing of his sword.
"It looks like we may have a problem here."
((note: These monsters are npc and I will control their actions. Type you attack and I will thype their response. The element per orc goes as such. The three on the ground are Fire, Wind and Water. While the two in the trees are lightning and earth. They are all adept with their elements.))

Larien knew that both her people and trees of all nature hated dirty creatures such as orcs. Running with the speed of the wind and dodgeing many arrows she ran to the trunk of the tree and molded herself into the trunk becomeing part of the tree its self. The tree shudders violently as its roots freed themselves of the earth and became leg like apendages. Branches grouped together to form arms and the tree took on a human like resemblance, with Larien's power.
The tree was slow and cumbersome but powerful, it swung one large arm up into the branches where the orcs had perched themselves grabbing the at the closest one. ((Yes I am kinda like an Ent right now.. Go LOTR!!))

One of the orcs that was positioned on the ground suddenly ran towards the tree larien was currently occupying. Since she had sacrificed speed for raw power the orc had no problem digging his sword into one of the led like limbs and set his blade ablaze hoping that the fire would eat through the leg of the tree and cause it to tople over in moments.
The orc Larien swung at was the one who had the earth affinity. As he saw Larien up root the tree, he quickly reacted and started the branches of the tree to grow rapidly in order to slow the the powerful arm from crushing him by providing him with a shield of branches, giving him time to hop off of the tree and land on the ground, unharmed but in a bad position.
((Note: Remember there are still 5 of them and they will resort to double teaming. This fight may take some time so I want multiple post a day from each of you, if it is possible. Also there is no posting other than the exchange of attacks from the orcs and you.))

Clover felt dazed as time went by. The rest they had received was nice, but now their journey was continuing once again. She was hesitant about crossing the bridge but did so anyway. When the orcs appeared Clover smiled, Maybe I can test my new technique. As the arrows flew towards them Clover called out to the wind, Grant me speed. Clover now was able to run and dodge the arrows. She grabbed for one of her own arrows. Luckily the her back only stung slightly, so she ignored it. Clover jumped into a tree that was unoccupied. She hid on a branch facing away from the action. Clover readied her arrow before positioning herself in plain sight of the others. She looked about for either of the orcs that were shooting at them. She noticed Larien’s actions.
Guide me and grant me power, Clover asked of the wind. She attempted to concentrate the wind around the arrow, but she wasn’t calm enough. Clover took a deep breath and tried again. She aimed at the orc that Larien hadn’t attacked. Clover released the bowstring sending the arrow straight for the orcs head. The amount of wind funneling the arrow was a little more than what had pierced the old tree from before. It couldn’t pierce stone, but maybe it would inflict some damage on this orc. Clover wasn’t sure.

Lariens tree forgot about the Earth orc for the moment and concentrated on the fire orc. If she did now do something about him fast she would loose the tree. Before she moved much more she was able to conjure up massive amounts of water from the roots in order to extinguish the fire and protect the tree slightly from another flame attack. Swinging down with all the speed and power she could muster from the old branches she hoped to simply crush the orc.
