"well.... here it is..."
As Sin reached the top of the peak of the mountain he made a large sweeping motion with his hand in front of him over a large valley located between two massive snow-covered mountains. Within the center of the valley, center used loosely as it nearly took up the entire region, a massive hurricane roared as it blocked all sight from where the group was standing to the other side of the mountain range. Yet surprisingly if you ducked behind the ridge of the mountain they were on the noise from this raging windstorm seemed to almost vanish except for a dull howling of wind that almost sounded like it came from miles away. Within the storm itself was not only massive amounts of dirt and debris but if one looked close you could see enormous boulders and rocks being lifted and spun around like they were made of feathers. Every so often one would escape and fly thought the air and smash into the mountainside smashing into the rock face and bringing even more debris down into the typhoon. As Sin watched he sighed and looked over at Issildia for a moment shrugging apologetically.
"As you can see.... it's somewhat nasty.... not only that but the entire side of those two mountains, facing my sisters grave, have been worn away to make almost a giant cylinder for the storm... Eventually, after thousands of years, when the mountains themselves wear away the storm will begin to disperse also taking many many more years...."
Sin slowly walked over to a rock and watched the hurricane as it continued it's, seemingly, never-ending howling and whirling.
"The hardest part will probably be getting though the walls and into the eye, once we get there it's about a mile and a half to the other end and back out though that hell.... so we can take a breather in-between.... plus it's fairly interesting inside... lots of float-y rocks and such.... So... last chance to take the long way..."
((If more details are nessary then I'll try to add them in before we get to it))

Seishin gazed blindly towards the large sphere of swirling wind.
"Perhaps I can be of some help.. I know it is not my place to interupt with the forces of nature, even as something as great as this. But I believe I can provide a path for us, through the storm...Seishin of the Wind is not only a title."
He blind gaze lowered from the sphere to Sin, waiting for his response.
Kegawa sighed slightly, deep in thought. He was standing apart from his brothers, in the back in their small group of travelers.
Kegawa's own gaze fell upon Issilda as he spoke in a low tone, his expression still darkened, from his thoughts.
"How long are you expecting to stay? After your business here we will have to part from you two again. The next moon cycle will begin soon, and my brothers and I have our agenda to attend to." He turned to Sin, " Im hoping that perhaps we may take refuge with your people during that time and perhaps for some after.."

"Well it certainly won't hurt, I doubt very much thought that you could create a path and hold it for long enough for us to pass through.... Seishin of the wind or not.... Still it will help as we go through... plus I wouldn't exactly call this natural.... sure we Furies are a part of nature and life, like any living thing, but no... When we die it's anything but natural...."
Sighing Sin stood up from where he had taken a seat on a rock and stood ready to go. Turning briefly he addressed Kagawa as he started down the mountain towards the hurricane.
"And I wouldn't worry to much about the Monkoto saying no, True we don't get many visitors... but we're hospitable enough for our seclusion.... even if it sometimes comes back and bites us later..."

"I intend to stay, only as long as I am of use...which should be a brief time if things go as planned." Issildia replied lowly in response to Kegawa.
"Our time is limited nonetheless..." she added. "The monkoto are not the only ones that require our attention. Darsha will not tarry in advancing upon Keirdon, and the Ryera..." Issildia said, her voice trailing off for a moment before continuing.
"They will need to be dealt with as well." she uttered gravely.

"very true... and while I might not be able to tag along after we stop by I'm sure Grevious is already there... he'll probly be able to assist you if the pact allows.... depending on what we find... at any rate... we're starting to get close..." As Sin said the last statment the wind picked up and howled around them as they drew closer to the wind storm.
"Whooooo she's pissed about something today...."
Sin mutterd to himself as he watched the storm.

Kegawa merely noded in reply and returned to his contemplation.
Seishin grin as he gazed once more at the storm as the wind picked up.
"Yes..Perhaps some trouble If I wereee alone, but I take it you've already seen otherwise.."
He raised his staff before him, then plunged it into the dirt, letting it stand straight even as he released it from his grasp. The pair of axis on the staff's tip continued their eternal spin from the wind centered at it's heart. Spping back his hands camee together placing themselves in the required form. As he did so Kojin's astral body slowly fased into visibility as his form pulled from Seishin's body, their stance pefectly in-sync. Seishin's pupilless eye began to glow as their combined aura emitted from them. The wind around them picked up even more as his force began to collide with the wind from the storm before them.
The his wind suddenly caught the outer axis as it became still, its opening facing btoward their path. As it stopped a sudden blast of wind shot from the open sphere spiraling forward horizontally as it searched for purchase against the storm. The second axis suddenly opened paralel with the outer enhancing the small tornado created by the first. The tornado grew large shooting through the storm tunneling through it's core to the oopposite side. Kojin's astral hands suddenly changed their combination of forms before his arms outstretched on either side of the open sphere upon the staff.
Seishin's body became limp yand dared to topple to the ground but remained in place, held by Kojin's power, even as he held the tunnel of wind open before them. His toneless voice would echo through their minds.
~Take his body and go.. The tunnel should keep you safe.. I shall remain here until you get to the other side.~
Kotsueki grinned slightly as he stepped forward suddenly lifting Seishin's body over his shoulders , wordlessly taking on his brothers burden.

"Impress-"
Sin's comment was suddenly cut off as the wind from the sphere suddenly howled like a banshee and seemed to only get louder as the wind tunnel pierce the hurricane to the other side. The winds force almost seemed to double and suddenly, from where the group stood, a massive rock flew just feet above their heads and smashed into the ground, with enough impact to shake the immediate area, not ten feet from where they stood. Sin winced as the wind around them had suddenly gotten stronger and started whipping up dirt and dust in the immediate area, shouting to the brothers he put up a hand to cover his mouth so he didn't get a lung full of dirt.
"Don't try to hold this until we get to the other side, this, like any other storm, has an eye which we can rest at! Everyone else lets go, we have a little more then a half mile to the edge of the eye and I don't want to get caught out along the edges!"
With that Sin started running down the wind tunnel Kojin had created for them.

"Reckless..." Issildia said with slight distain before she also followed after Sin and the others. Keeping low and moving swiftly across the wind stripped earth, she followed alongside the others as they neared the heart of this natural anomaly.
"Why is this place in such a state...what happened here Sin?" Issildia asked in a flat unreadable manner as she brought her gloved hand up to shield her eyes from the airborne debris.

"I told you Issildia... This is the grave of my sister..."
Sin replied to her as he rushed though the windstorm towards the center. Suddenly looked up Sin leapt back as a bolder smashed into the area he was just standing on. It lay on the ground for a moment then teetered to the side rolling out of the way and back into the storm to get picked up and thrown about like all of the others. Gritting his teeth Sin continued forwards at a speedy pace. As they got closer and closer to the center Sin started to slow, looking about as he walked out of the tunnel Kojin had created. The area in front of the collected people was huge. If you looked upwards you could clearly see, though a small hole in the sphere, the crisp blue sky above and to the sides, the walls of the hurricane blew about just as fiercely. One strange thing about the area, however, was that there was numerous rocks, boulders and other derbies floating mid-air all about them. All they seemed to do was float, held up by some invisible force around them.
"We can walk from this point... there isn't too much to worry about in the eye of the storm... and Issildia... as I was saying this is where my sister died, this entire storm is a marker for her grave..."
Sighing softly Sin looked up towards the center of the hurricane sadly.
"This is the fate of the Furies... as the Monkoto found out with much sadness... as far as what the elder has told us... the previous furies, who existed long long ago, were composed of the primal elements of nature itself earth, wind, fire, and water or ice in the case of Grevious... anyways when we were younger my sister was murdered here. We still don't know who or how but the party of monkoto that found her had only a moment before the elemental powers inside of her burst free and ripped apart the entire area. One survived and brought word back to my people about what happened...."

Issildia was silent for a moment before she spoke.
"What was her name...you sister?" she asked, taking care not to speak ill of the sister or of her fate in any manner. She knew what it was to lose those that one cared for...the anger one felt whenever their name was mentioned, and the sorrow that quickly followed after. If he choose not to answer, Issilda doubted that she would be foolish enough to question further.

((perfict... I plan out this whole huge windstorm and I end up forgetting to come up with a name rolleyes ))
"hmm?.... oh it's was Kyra...."
With that he turned and glanced back at Issildia, a smile back on his face. Looking towards the other end of the storm they had made it about halfway though the eye and thusly the wind seemed to be at it's least where they were. Pushing aside a rock that floated before him Sin continued on towards the other side.

((Everything is in the details Jan. whee ))
"I see..." Issildia replied, noting that he seemed to have little emotional attachment to his deceased kin.
"You have told how and who...but do you have any idea why she was murdered. There must have been a motive of some sort..."

((Which is something I can come up off the top of my head if the need arises. razz I'm not sure if that would be considered a good RPing quality but at least it's useful 3nodding ))
"I have a few... unfortunately it's all speculation at this point... All I can say is that, being who we were as children, it wasn't, in the elder’s eyes, necessary to baby-sit us constantly since no real threats beyond the natural ones roam around here.... I only say murdered because I just can't see my sister simply tripping and falling or some such nonsense....."
He sighed and looked about at the storm they were passing thought. Shaking his head smiled ironically and continued onwards.
"It’s funny though... When we furies die... I guess we obtain a measure of immortality.... my sister died... and here, all around us, is a tribute to her death and passing.... I often wonder what my death will be like....."

Kotsuizi and Kegawa followed intto the storm's eye with Kotzueki tailing not far behind, with Seishin's unconsious body over his shoulders. After they all enetered, the small tunnel soon disappated into the storm. Kojin's astral form soon came through unaffected by the element surrounding them. The staff followed, also unaffected by the wind, controlled by Kojin's will as it hovered through the air. The axis on it's tip had once more continued spinning, powered by the element held within it. An element much similar to the one that surrounded the small group of people.

Sin turned to look at Kotsuizi and Kegawa and then behind them to Kojin's ghostly form that had just stepped though the storm.
"You ok? if we need a breather to wake up your friend so he can do it again I suggest here..."
Sin said to them as he found a chair sized rock and sat down quietly.
