Welcome to Gaia! ::

"WAAAA!!!!!!" Tsuzuki cried miserably throughout the still air of the forests.

She had been dropped off in a small, unknown port two days ago and had been hoplessly wondering the forests since. She didn't have any supplies, food, or water and was feeling rather lost. Tsuzuki looked helplessly to the left and to the right. Then, she looked up the path and down the path. No one seemed to be around.

Suddenly, she grew silent. Was that-? "Water!" Tsuzuki yelled happily.

She ran towards the sound and found a river where she drank from, disreguarding any sort of sickness that might derive from it. As she sat up, her thirst finally quenched, she looked around and sighed, "I hope someone comes around soon. This traveling to Ba Sing Se alone doesn't seem as if it's going to work."

Miro smiled, gazing up at the mottled greens of the canopy above her as sunlight poured through. A comfortable breeze passed through the wood, rustling the long tendrils of ferns and other plants, causing the occasional deer rabbit or squirrel to scamper away in fear. It was a nice day. Nice to take a walk, to meditate, to...

Her stomach growled in sudden, loud protest. She grimaced, rubbing her sore abdomen. Nice day to starve.

"I ran away to get away from all that rabbit food my parents were shoving at me," she sighed. "And look what I get in return? More rabbit food."

Such was the life of a wanderer. She didn't know quite which way she was going, for few sixteen-year-old girls knew the path to Omashu from the one to Ba Sing Se.

Sighing, she tossed back her short, brown hair for no purpose other than to take out some of her frustration on something, and sat down, humming a lullaby to herself.

What she wouldn't give for an audience right now. Or a companion. Or some sign of sentient life in these woods.

After Lee had awaken from his training in the desert he wandered into a forest.
He knew it was a forest because he could feel shade and all the vegetation around him. Other than that the soil was softer than desert soil. Lee jogged around the forest for a while still wearing his stone vest. And after a while he stopped for a quick breath before he started again.

((Training 5))

The sun broke out over the horizon of the great forest. As the denizen's of the wood awoke from their slumber, Two young men could be seen in a small grove of trees by the clearing. One of them was dressed in the traditional garb of the Earth Nation's Earthbenders, with the widebrimmed hat and long robes. The other one wore similar robes and had long brown hair tied back in an elegant Braid.

"Are you sure you're ready Dav?" The one in the hat asked.

"Hit me with it Commander Xua!" The younger one, Dav answered.

The commander made a few harsh gestures and 3 spikes of earth lifted themselves out of the ground and flew toward the younger man.

Without missing a beat, Dav made a few gestures and water floated out of his satchel and pooled around his hands.

With quick, spinning motions, Dav redirected the projectiles using the water in his hands as a sort of glove. After the three spikes were dealt with, Dav aimed his hands at his commander and sprayed him with the water. whee

The commander looked at Dav Cole sternly and then broke out laughing.

"Not bad little man." The older commander said, "Once you learn to freeze water you might actually be useful to us!"

"And you might be an effective Earthbender once you figure out how to beat a 16 year old kid!" Dav shot right back at him.

"Hey you two!" A gruff voice called from a clearing in the tree line. "Come on, we're moving out!" Their commanding officer said.

"Duty calls" Commander Xua said walking back to the camp with Dav.

(Exit: Great Forest. Enter: Ba Sing Se)

Enoki sat up in a tree, something he'd come accustomed to in his life in the forest. He saw a small pack of boars drinking from a watering hole. He decided he could kill the boars, fill a pouch or two with water, and find some berries on his way home. Simple day, simple kill, simple breakfast. An easy life.

Enoki got back, with a few plants added to his reaping. He looked over at his still sleeping dog, and couldn't help but snicker. He'd never seen the dog get up before mid-day. He pulled out a knife and began 'cleaning' the boar. When he was done, he salted it, and wrapped it in the previously found vegetation. He'd need it for his trip to Omashu. He'd decided the previous night he'd leave for the city to try and find a teacher. He took a leg of boar he'd separated previously, and and lit a small fire in a makeshift fireplace. He put it on a spigot, letting it roast, sitting down by the fire, letting himself get lost in his thoughts.

Lokey was walking around in the forest and decided to work on his bending skills before he met up with anyone else on his ever apparent wanderings. He put his bags down on a tree stump near a cliff he had come across and began practicing his bending stances. starting fomr the first and ending with the last in a ever repeating process each time he finished he would begin again faster this time.
