"Listen to the Earth, and it will impart its wisdom to you." ~blukattt written history of the clan of Earth, volume one "The realm of the Earth clan; a quiet place of ancient forests, and even older stone. The Earth territory is centered along a mountain range;the northern side maintains a dense temperate forest climate...  ...while the southern exposure has a more arid climate, much like southwestern United States, or Australia.  The village itself is nestled into the side of a cliff, built generations ago and has stood the test of time.  "Much has changed since that first entry, many of which was lost to the ages with the succeeding volumes however; while over five hundred years of history is not recorded, we should not forget to look at the current time for those answers. You see little ones, while this history may no longer be recorded in tome and on paper it is etched into the very fabric of our lives and home. Railroads string throughout the territory now, allowing humans to more redily depend on each other. Since they no longer needed to rely on the support or protection of the demons in the clifftop village they branched out, establishing many towns and villages along these tracks...the demons however, remain in their clifftop home. Wait...little ones..there is more to tell!" If you wish to join this clan, please pm the leader (sakabato kumori) with a request for the position in the clan you want (the positions are in the profile subforum) along with a copy of your profile so that i can approve it's use.Banners Please copy the banners to your own pic account (ie-photobucket, etc.)

Other locationsother important settings Tranquility GraveyardA slight drizzle falls over the cold granite of the grave stones. a fog drifts around the trees obscuring view of the tombstones somber testament to lives long past. When darkness claims this somber place little points of light can be seen dancing in and out of view. mysteriously lit torches illuminate the doorway to a large underground mausoleum where evil spirits are said to be sealed away. the long abandoned hut next to the gate of the graveyard has a partially collapsed roof and is very weathered. the four walls still stand so the only entrance remains the wooden door. Inside the dilapidated hut flowers have broken apart the floor and reach toward the stream of sunlight that comes from the collapsed roof. Shadow Grovehttp://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y38/sakabato_kumori/back3.jpgOnce an area of great beauty and age this forest suffered a perversion of self. An all infecting meteor made it's roost here and changed all that it touched into large brackish hungry beings. Overly aggressive, the augmented creatures in this forest will attack anything on sight, whether or not they need to feed and thier massive size make an encounter with one of these beings deadly. Even the trees seem to despise your presence and would lead the casual traveler off cliffs if they allow themselves to be caught unawares. These trees are not limited to mind games however, they are very capable of stealthily strangling others with thier vines and branches. At the center of this forest lies a huge open clearing where the heart of this infection resided. The meteor was removed from this world in a collaboration of earth and wind clan. now a darkened crater is all that remains of the meteor and the ruins it crushed. The Shio cliffshttp://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y38/sakabato_kumori/rock_temple_river.jpgSalt fills your nostrils as you come close to the edge of the cliff overlooking the sea the numerous divits in the rock crunch slightly as you step on the colected salt that fills them. If you can manage to keep your stinging eyes open, a blurred image blows in the wind. The peach tree that stands stallwart at the edge of the cliff. Blooms hardly ever appear on the tree for it is head to bear fruit once every thousand years. Chikako, the goddess of the tide, is said to visit this place when the tree blooms.

Miiro stood on the edge of the cliff near the statue of his ancestor overlooking the northern half of earth clan. "things sure have changed haven't they" he said overlooking the once unbroken forests which now, were split by numerous railroad tracks. "it seems our protection is un-needed"

Reiki had finally found his way to his own clan. He made it so that Rhea would never know that he had been to the River Clan, because that would make him a silly not-independent elder brother.
What's more, he's a Shaman in his community. Reiki set aside the basket of the herbs on the table of his small home, and grabbed a pouch, where three small pockets is, for three different seeds. Reiki then changed into another set of yukata, and headed towards the forest.
"Ah, the lavender..."

"Getsuei." Reiki nodded towards him, acknowledging his sudden appearance. "They are doing marvelous. Compared to our peaceful scenery, they seemed to have a vibrant wave."
He then poked his own chin with his finger. "Fits the Clan eh.."

Reiki didn't have to look over at him to understand his feelings of longing for home.
He could sense it; the soft breeze told him.
"My training.." Reiki sighed a little. "I've been slacking." He picked a seed from the middle pocket of his pouch and let it rest on his palm. As Reiki spoke with it from his heart, a thin vine grew from the seed and another round fruit grew from one of its stalk. From that new fruit, a flower bloomed. All within 10 seconds.
"I haven't been practising..properly.All I could focus on is defense."

"remember, you have to ask the earth, do not force it" Getsuei said smiling at him "if you remember that humility, the earth will not only be your power but, your guide as well"

"Understood." Reiki bent down, planting the seed of the bloomed flower into the earth. "You are truly verse, once being the Guardian of the River Clan, and now, the Earth Clan."
He slid one of his arms into the one side of his yukata. "Surely, you desire to be more than just that?"

"Ah, to answer that, time will tell, Sir." Reiki looked ahead, and smiled. "Do you want to see a magical dance I created? Say, just for the bit of reward of having you as our Guardian."
