Quote: The route between these two countries is a deceptively hazardous one. Although the countries are not far apart the areas where their borders meet is very dangerous to cross due to the Earth Country's rocky elevation and Rain Country's frequent shower storms. The combination makes for a treacherous path the likes of which, if one is not careful, could spell real harm to travelers.

Isuko entered the assignment office and approached the chuunin on duty. ”Excuse me. My name is Isuko Riwomu. I’d like to request permission to leave the village and travel to Earth Country.” The chuunin raised an eyebrow at Isuko, not that he could see it. ”You want to go to Earth Country? You’ve heard the rumors about the Mist Swords haven’t you. Anyway, I’ve been instructed to grant leave to anyone who wants to go in search of them assuming they don’t have any outstanding assignments. You appear to be cleared.” As he was speaking, the chuunin had pulled Isuko’s assignment file from the cabinet on the wall behind him. He pulled a form from the desk and quickly filled it out and stamped it. ”Here. Present this to the guards at the border. They’ll let you through. The guards at the gate won’t challenge you.” Isuko took the proffered form, turned and left the office. He headed back towards his home to pick up the supplies he’d need during this trip. He collected the equipment kit that had been given him upon his graduation from the academy. He additionally grabbed his cane, designed to help the, non-shinobi, blind. Isuko left his home and headed towards the fate to the village and the road that would take him to Earth Country. He passed the guard shinobi who were watching the traffic into and out of the town. He nodded to his fellow shinobi and received a quick nod in return. He pushed through the crowd moving out of the village, using his cane to make a path for himself. When he got a small distance away from the village itself, Isuko went ahead and collapsed his cane and took to the trees. He knew he’d be able to stick to the trees for only part of the journey. ”Earth Country is supposed to be desolate rocky expanses and mountain ranges. I need to take advantage of the forest, traveling through the trees and collecting food while I can. On the up side, this run will help my stamina. As a taijutsu specialist, I need to make sure I have the stamina to withstand the fatigue that the more strenuous taijutsu routines inflicts upon my body.” Isuko drew a couple of his kunai in the event he sensed small edible animals during his run. He’d brought food sufficient for a couple of days, but he knew he would need to live off of the land while he could so he could save his rations for the portion of the journey in Earth Country.

“Since they are legendary it is probably safe to assume rumors about them will have stirred up some treasure hunters and those seeking glory from around the countries… it could get dangerous looking for the information alone more so then from the enemies we are aware of… it’s safe to assume everyone is a potential enemy for us…” Hatsuma commented quietly before picking up the book and opening it to the page she was at last and proceeded to gather yet more information from it, though it was unlikely the book would hold hints to any real locations in current time it was a safe measure to gather what the weapons were capable of on a basic level. A loud pop followed by a bang brought her attention from the book and to their mode of transportation. Clearly it was on its last leg now. Sputtering it’s last breath in a plume of smoke it came to a stop. Gathering her things she tucked them away under her shawl and stepped out from the transport and onto the puddle ridden soil of the country. “The rain likely killed what was left of the grease in the gears… the engine case wasn’t sealed after all… it’s useful in the desert but certainly not in such a wet climate…” Hatsuma commented seemingly ignoring the rain as it slowly weighed down her hair. “In either case it’s safe to assume that we will be traveling by foot for the remainder… it’ll be quieter anyways…” She stated finally looking down along the road in the general direction of their destination. Machines were uncomfortable to her much like the more than likely to appear amphibians in this country. She would await the two from taking care of the device before following the hare towards the country of earth, which from what she had studied was something like wind country though it was a bit more solid and slightly cooler as well.

Itoku pushed a few levers and the machine was indeed done. He let out a heavy sigh and jumped down from the seat he was in. "I suppose it went about as far as... he, said it would." Itoku states choosing to be more tactful in front of Oasis.
Oasis let out a long sigh and climbed out of the vehicle as it came to a stop. She looked up the the sky and felt the water as it came dribbling down on her "...I think I like rain country." she states softly as she extended her arms out to her sides and took in a deep relaxing breath. "Kay' so we gotta be careful of people that we come across from here on out then yea?" she states as she started to walk around the vehicle, she got back to the seat and pulled out the furs she was wearing earlier and packed them into a bag and handed the bag off to Itoku, "be a gentlemen, and carries a ladies things." she states with a grin on her face as she returned to the vehicle and pushed a few buttons and levers and the device let out a wheeze and then compressed itself back down to the parcel that it was when Kozou had delivered it. She pushed another thing and a odd little whistle came from the device for a moment and a light flickered for a moment then it was still again. "Kay people from home will come and get this eventually." she states as she stepped away from it.
"The smiths have always been rather clever..." Itoku states as he watched what Oasis did "You seem to show a natural tendency towards them as well." he adds as he hoisted the bag on his back and walked in the direction they needed to travel "Well then, as Hatsuma said, from here on out it is on foot time." he states as he took the lead before the girls and walked towards earth country.
"So... how far of a walk is it gonna be?" Oasis questions as she swung her hands around lightly in the rain, and after speaking she hummed to herself quietly it was a different song than the one she had sang when she was so angry, this was a song that perhaps Hatsuma might recognize, if she could pick out the tones, because it was one Oasis had picked up while they were at Hatsuma's tribe.
"It will easily be eight hours, it could have been faster, but the vehicle gave out." Itoku states as he walked along the wetlands of rain country. The rain was still not falling on him as he was still using his technique that he had started up earlier.
Oasis watched for a moment looking at the flow around Itoku, and then she swung her hand around in the air above her and copied his technique. Creating a field over her that stopped the rain from hitting her. "Thats a neat technique." she mewled with a grin on her face.
"You read quite a bit of what is in that book, how much have you learned about those legendary swords?" Itoku questions as he looked to Oasis curious as to how she copied his technique so quickly but really not willing to question it.

“Well it is a book that is geared more to their legends than anything else, but from what I can tell of the seven blades they are each unique in design and function, in fact they shouldn’t be viewed as a traditional swords at all… but they certainly are tools of war…” Hatsuma explained continuing to ignore the rain as it continued to fall. Traveling onwards she explained a bit further into the supposed function of the swords. “one is called ‘Sever sword’ in the book and is told to be unbreakable feasting on blood to sustain its body… likely a jutsu that draws iron to recreate itself… another blade called ‘Greatsword’ is apparently a mouthed weapon of scales capable of sucking away one’s life essence… so it likely can draw out chakra for itself… a weapon called ‘Twin swords’ can apparently take the form of many weapons and tends to be concealed in bandages. I’d image it is similar to our chakra forged weaponry though on a far more stable and controlled scale… The next blade that the book mentioned is actually a pair of swords identical in design to one another called ‘Thunder Swords’ it can apparently cut through anything and swings lightning to do so… again it’s likely a jutsu enhanced blade… Blunt sword isn’t even a sword however it’s in the same lot as the others, it’s a hammer attached to an axe via a strong ribbon and can crush whatever it is swung at… The next is a blade called ‘long Sword’ it’s extremely long and resembles a large sewing needle and supposedly can bind bodies and objects together at great distances thanks to the strong thread attached to the hilt… The last blade is ‘Blast sword’ and as the name states utilizes explosive tags riddled about the blade to destroy on extreme levels…” She paused a moment to allow the information to be received before speaking again. “That’s all that I could gather from the book aside from the original wielders of the blades who I find hardly of any use in mentioning in a similar detail…” She finished as they came to a stop at a deep and narrow ravine, mud along the sides washed down in streams of rain water over large rocks and boulders into a narrow stream below. “Do you think there is a bridge near or should we attempt to cross here?” She questioned looking to the Hare for any suggestions on what they should do. They were on a road so it was likely this ravine that cut across it was rather recent in it’s creation or perhaps those prepared to travel this way carried portable bridges, whatever the case it needed to be decided on what they should do.

Itoku nodded his head slowly "Hmm, those swords sound interesting, similar to swords designed by our people." he states in a low voice as they approached a ravine. "Hmm... Well, finding a bridge would be advantageous, however it would also be time consuming. The both of you are shinobi, you are trained in such arts. So we should be able to traverse this fairly easily." he states as he looked at it. "Also, I believe we should certainly gather at least one of those blades who knows what more we could learn." he states as he stepped one foot onto a rock and looked into the ravine sizing it up as small stones shifted and gave way tumbling down the sloping sides.
Oasis approached Itoku and looked at the ravine, it didn't really look all that large, maybe they could jump it. "So, why don't we just jump it huh?" she questions looking to Itoku who responded by shaking his head.
"That wouldn't be the best idea. Also, with further inspection I know exactly what to do here." he states as he walked a distance to where a tree stood fairly near by. He took a deep breath and reached his right hand into his white coat. He grasped the hilt of a red katana, he drew in another controlled breath and then in a sudden flicker of motion he drew the blade out slashing the blade along the body of the tree. He slashed clean through the trunk and then sheathed the blade again in a mere blink of an eye. The tree eventually fell landing across the ravine. "There. now we can cross." he states motioning to the tree bridge, he jumped onto it and in a few slashing motions he cut the limbs from the tree and it was a more reasonable bridge now.

“That should work well… and by the mountains ahead I’d say we are nearing Earth country… if we hurry we’ll be there before night fall…” Hatsuma commented as she traversed the log bridge that was made over the ravine. Her footing was solid despite the water running across the wood’s surface. She hopped down once across and waited for Oasis before they continued onwards. “Either way once we get there it’s probably best to be as discrete as possible… Itoku-sama, you should probably wear your mask at all times if you can help it…” Hatsuma pulled a white tag from her shawl and it quickly exploded into a long billowy coat which she put on concealing her second set of arms in a similar fashion as in frost country. She pulled the hood up over her head and once ready continued onwards towards their destination. It may be late in the day by the time they arrive but there still may be something they could find out in terms of information. After all there were night owls all over the world. Though they were hunting for these blades they had to remember to stop at the caravan in this country to let them know of the meeting that would be held. Quote: travel lines= 100 total lines= 612

Isuko was enjoying his exercise as he ran towards Earth Country. He was quickly collecting sufficient supplies to survive his journey through the mountainous passes of Earth Country. However, his country’s namesake was beginning to show itself. The ever present rain was beginning to fall the storms were coming and were going to be extremely violent. The sound of distant thunder reached his ears just as the cold front of air moved through. ”This will make the already dangerous passes into Earth Country even more treacherous. I really should find shelter from the storm. At the same time, I need to investigate these rumors as soon as I can. If I can find one of the legendary Mist Swords, my strength will increase immeasurably. I’ll go on until I catch the first immediate signs of the storm. As long as I’m in the forest, I can quickly build a primitive shelter and hunker down from the storm.” Isuko continued running through the forest, jumping from branch to branch for two more hours, collecting branches, twigs, leaves, and other materials as he went, the sky darkening around him. When the temperature finally dropped enough, Isuko dropped to the ground. He found a raised spot in the lay of the land and quickly began constructing a simple lean-to shelter from the branches and other materials he had been gathering during his run. Once the shelter was constructed, Isuko flashed through a couple hand seals and began molding his chakra. He spread a thin layer of chakra into the lean-to roof, intending to keep the coming rain from him. He started a small fire using the dead wood he had and a piece of flint he kept in his vest at all times for just this occurrence. When morning arrived, it was very clear that the Isuko had made the correct choice in stopping and hunkering down. Isuko quickly dismantled his shelter, scattering the remains around the immediate area. He also put out the fire, ensuring that the ground was cold before setting off again, not wanting to be responsible for a forest fire. He continued towards the border with Earth Country. As the altitude increased, Isuko had to force himself to slow down and not pass out from lack of oxygen. As he descended from the mountain pass, Isuko realized just how desolate the Earth Country landscape really was. He could hear no animals or birds moving about. The area was truly lifeless. Isuko pushed on, following the now obvious road and quickly arrived at the village he was traveling to.

Sorain entered the travel route that would take him from the Rain Country to the Earth Country where he was intending to go. The moment he got closer to the path however he saw an instant problem. The path was entirely jagged and filled with sloping rock formations that were covered in slick wet rain. It was going to be nearly impossible for him to navigate the twins through such a terrain without harming them. Not that he cared much for their well being, it simply would have been too troublesome to have them lagging behind because they were getting injured along the way. With a deep sigh, Sorain came to a repulsive conclusion, he knew what had to be done. Forming a loose hand seal Sorain released his hold over their bodies before turning around and shouting to them, as they would undoubtably be catching up by now. "You two can walk on your own for awhile. If you try to run, I will kill you. Now follow me, and keep the ******** up." He said bluntly behind a grunt before turning around and taking a placid leap off of the first slope with a twist which landed his feet perfectly planting against the ramping cliff. The rocky ground had mixed with the rain and was now slick with a muddy surface. Sorain slide rapidly down the slippery layer of moist dirt while crouching to keep himself balance. By the time he reached the bottom of the cliff Sorain had but a great deal of distance between him and his captives. "Get down here!, Now!" he demanded to the skies where they were standing directly above him. The entire trip was going to be a rough one, mixed with ups and downs to get over the jagged cliffs and hills that made up this area. Quote: Imposing Check !!: Agility Check vs 88 to keep up with Sorain. Note: Check is rprical, no penalty for failing.

Takera had been running for some time watching as Sorain made quite a size-able distance from them. Takera felt better than earlier, but he was still pretty banged up. As he surveyed the area over once more, things were different from earlier, but it had still had the same downing atmosphere. The path ahead looked as though it'd never end. Takera hadn't been able to do much more than run the entire time. With limited real control over his body, he could do little more than tilt his head in the direction he wished to view, but whenever he did, he could feel the force of Sorain's mind control itching away at him and eventually he would return his head to the forward position. He understood only that he'd been turned into a puppet, but not why. Things couldn't seem more down than they were. They were being held by one of the twins they originally were sent to capture and bring back to the village and what's worse? Regardless of mind control, they've been forced to flee and can now no longer go back to the Mist. Takera thought over what had occured in his head, but no matter how many times he went over it, he didn't see any other answer to the problem. They were going to be considered missing nin and have to run from their homes. Things didn't seem to bode well until Takera let his mind wander, only to realize something. Sorain wasn't making him run at his full speed. Why would Sorain take control of us and make haste to the destination in mind and not make us try our damdest to keep up? Just then Sorain turned to look back at them. Takera tilted his head up a bit in curiousity as it seemed Sorain was about to speak. " You two can walk on your own for awhile. If you try to run, I will kill you. Now follow me, and keep the ******** up." The feeling in Takera's mind that had come to feel somewhat normal now, receeded and the control of his body came back into his control. For a second he faultered and stumbled as he was still relatively sore, but almost instantly he rebounded and shot forward at a ridiculous speed leaving Zeru behind instantly in the dust. Takera had charged forward temperarily forgetting his earlier debate with himself over Sorain's intentions. Takera caused dirt to kick up and small bursts of wind to expell from his heels as he came up on Sorain who had suddenly dropped as if to walk off a cliff. Takera shot forward with a final leap after a single glance to survey the drop off mud-slide and Sorain huddled over keeping a low center of gravity as he slid through it. Takera came down onto the mud-slide directly next to Sorain, forming his sharingan and mimicing Sorain, as they reached the bottom, Takera kicked off with a burst of wind from the soul of the foot farthest from the bottom of the slope and burst out making a complete sideways flip and landing solidly on the ground knees bent and his center of gravity still low. Takera stood up fully as Sorain slid down behind him a few seconds after. " Well, that was certainly entertaining." Takera said as he looked back at Sorain, but quickly his mind pushed the topics he debated with himself earlier. For a while it almost seemed as if he had been fooling around with his brother, but quickly his nostalgia subsided as he stepped out of the direct path of Sorain and kept his eyes locked on him. Without speaking a word he watched as Sorain called out over the hill to Zeru. Takera made sure to stand in a position where he could look up at his brother, but not lose sight of Sorain. Quote: Contested Roll: 115 x 2 = 230 vs 88 = 64% chance to succeed Result: 1% Success that's like salt in the wounds of the enemy. Where was this when Sorain casted that ridiculous Gen?!

Zeru willed his body to stop running but it wouldn’t, he finally came to accept the fact that he was now a prisoner of a man who at this point could kill him with a thought. Zeru was not comfortable with any part of their current situation, as they ran in the rain Zeru thoughts drifted they where on the run again just like in their childhood running from leaf. The thoughts where hurtful, he hated those memories so he tried to block them out, and just as he did he willed his body to stop and did. Zeru looked down the hill and saw Sorain and Takera already down it and Sorain yelling up at him to move his a**, Zeru was confused and slowly started to step down the hill his thoughts still lost. He was intimidated by Sorains threat to kill them so he tried to hurry up but as he did, his foot slipped, and he fell face first in the mud, as he lay there for a moment he realized they could never go back to the home they had found in mist, if anyone had seen them leave with Sorain they would be reported as Missing ninja. Zeru slowly got to his feet as he did the weight of the mud caused his ninja headband with the mist symbol to fall, as it fell it pulled of his bandages, and they hit the ground together and where instantly swallowed by the mud. Zeru looked down at Sorain with his deep blue eyes and sighed as he began to make his way down the hill side again. He moved slowly but at an ok pace his thoughts still weighing on him, he was leaving behind his old life everything he used to be it was time for a new him.

It was raining. It was always raining since Drake made his way into the Rain Country. Which explains the name for the country. Drake was running along through the forest he was in, the cold rain hitting him in the face while he ran. He was already soaking wet as it is, and he was starting to freeze. Earlier, he opened his med kit he had in his pack to take a pill that would help increase his body heat to hopfully stay warm, but that wasn't helping in the end. The pill had seemed to wear out already, and Drake was getting colder every second. Drake started to shivver. He had to get out of the Rain soon, or hope that he was getting close to the Rain and Earth border. Drake had no time to just sit and look at his map. If he did that, he had no doubt he would pass out from the cold. The only thing was keeping him from doing such a thing was the running. As long as he kept running, he was sure he would not pass out. As Drake thought of this, his foot hit an upturned root, and he fell straight into a bush. Drake laid there for a second before finally getting up. Once he was standing, he jogged for cover under a large tree that was near the bush he fell in. Drake leaned against the trees trunk, and as he did, He checked his face to make sure nothing was bruised or broken. He had a few cuts on his cheep, but that was it. He reached for his pack and grabbed the med kit, opening it and found some alcohol. He splashed a little bit of the alcohol onto his wound, feeling the sting of it as it burned away any germs that could infect the wound. He put the alcohol away into the kit, and put it back into his pack. With the rain, he had no time to bandage the wound, as the rain would just soak the bandage and ruin it. Once he shouldered the pack, Drake did a quick check to see if anyone was around, and seeing no one around, he patted his legs, then went into a jog that quickly went into running speed. Drake kept checking even while he ran. Though he met no one else while he made his way through the Rain Country, he wasn't going to take a chance that there was no one near by. 'You would think that there would at least be some patrols going through the country at least.' Drake thought. The Rain started to slow down a bit, and it soon became nothing but a drizzle. Drake stopped to check on his pack to make sure nothing was completly soaked. Everything was fine, and the map he had put into a small cylinder when the rain first started, so that was fine as well. Drake looked around a bit, and saw a large boulder that had a indent into it, making a small cave that one could sit in if one needed some shelter or shade to sit in. Drake quickly made his way to the small cave and sat down to rest for awhile. Once he was comfortable, he pulled out the cylinder that held his map from his pack, pulled it out, and looked at it. From what he could tell, he wasn't too far from the border, maybe an hour or two. He put his map back into the cylinder and closed it, then put it back into his pack. Drake laid back for awhile, and thought of what he should do once in Earth, besides heading straight for the Earth Village. Of course he would look for whoever it is who knows about the Swords, but he thought it would be nice to have a good meal. After his long trek through the rain and forest, he deserved at least that much. After a little while longer, Drake crawled out of the smalle cave and stood. He checked around himself again, making sure no one was around. Once he saw it was clear, he did a quick strech of his legs before turning toward the direction of the border and going into his running speed. The rain that became a drizzle was gone, but the dark clouds that hovered over the forest was still there, though rays of sunshine were starting to come through. While Drake ran, he thought more about the Seven Swordsmen. From what he could remeber, they were the elite ninja of Mist, who were sent on missions with the probability of failing was always one hundred percent. When working alone, these ninja were a force to be reckoned with. Together, they were unstoppable. Yet, even the once powerful swordsmen fell, and now the weapons that they used will be seen again. This caused Drake to smile a bit. Perhaps that was the aura that surrounded these swords, to always be known in the ninja world, and luring others to them. And, if Drake was correct about others coming for these weapons, then Death itself could be watching over these blades. Drake shook his head. Hopefully, nothing like that would happen. As Drake continued to make his way through the forest, he thought he saw a clearing up ahead, as in an end to the forest. 'This could be the border.' Drake thought. Drake then jumped up to a branch on a tree and continued from there. After a few more leaps, Drake came to the edge of the forest that was up to the border of Earth and Rain, and he was in awe. Unlike the clearing Drake came across when he was heading to Rain from Fire, the border of Rain and Earth was no clearing, it was a chasm! Drake looked about, first looking down. The chasm was only a couple of feet down, but it seemed to strech a long ways. Drake looked up, and saw that the border was also a small cliff. Not to far up, but would be a difficult climb. "Well..." Drake said, "At least it can't get any worse..." And on que, it started to rain again. "This is just great." Drake said to no one in particular. Now the climb was going to be dangerous, as the rain was going to make this more difficult than before. 'Well, nothing learned, nothing gained.' Drake thought as he backed up a bit, then with a quick run, jumped from the branch he was standing on before and throwing his arms, caught his hand on a small ledge. Quickly without losing his balance, Drake threw his other arm out, and grabed another ledge before he slipped. If he was going to get to the top, he had no time to spare by screwing around. Drake then pulled himself up, first looking for another ledge he can grab on, then putting his hand on it, doing a quick check to make sure it was stable, then looking for another ledge. This porcess was taking awhile, and Drake could already feel himself slowing. Not to make matters worse was the rain. It was pouring on him, and it was cold as ever since last time. Drake stopped for a second to catch his breath, and lost his footing. Without out time to think, Drake pulled himself up before he could lose his balance. He quickly found footing, and held himself for another second. 'That was close' Drake thought, 'If I was a second to late, I'd be falling to my death right about now'. Drake continued to pull himself up, little by little, always checking to make sure the ledges he grabs are stable. Soon, Drake found that he was just at the top. But, before he could be happy about it, a gale came about from the storm, and nearly pushed him off. Drake clung himself to the cliff, holding on and making sure that he would not be blown off. The gale let up, but Drake wasn't gonna wait any longer. With the last of his strength, Drake pulled himself up with as fast as he could. He no longer was checking the ledges he grabbed, and some were a bit unstable, but he was pulling himself up faster than he could care, so he paid no attention to it. Just as he was starting to wane from the strength he pulled out, Drakes hand reached up and grabbed the cliff edge. Drake smiled, then with the last bit he could muster, Drake pulled himself over the edge and onto the cliff top. Drake laid on the edge for a few seconds before pulling himself up. But, when he tried to stand, he nearly fell over, only catching himself at the last second. 'Guess that was a little harder than I thought.' Drake said to himself, chuckling a little. As he sat there, Drake looked toward the other end of the cliff. He saw many mountains in the distance, as well as large rocky hills, and maybe a forest from where he was. After that, Drake noticed that it was actually a small hill of a large rock that he was on, a bit missing the side that he climbed on. Drake frowned. This entire time he was climbing, he could have just walked around a bit till he saw a small opening to jump into. Drake then laughed to himself. 'Where would the fun in that be?'. The rain then started to stop, and the clouds started to part, shining sunlight onto Drake. Drake looked up into the blue sky, then noticed it was getting late when he saw that the sun was going under the horizen. He stood up, and after patted himself off, Drake began to walk over to the other side of the rock he was standing on. After stopping at the edge, Drake looked out, and noticed what looked like a small path. Drake then reached for his pack and pulled out the cylinder that contained his map, opening it and pulling it out. After studying the map for a moment, Drake put it away. 'If the map is correct, then that path should lead to the main road, which should lead to Iwagakure.' Drake thought to himself. Drake then lept onto the side of the rock and began to descend down toward the path. "Soon." Drake said, "Soon, this journey shall really begin". Once Drake got to the bottom, he went over to the path, and began his way toward Iwagakure. (Current lines - 91) (Total lines - 200) (Other lines in Fire Thread and Rain/Fire Border thread )

Sorain shook his head as he heard the loud thud of Zero hitting the mud, those two were quite the pair. One of them seemed to be far more skilled than the other and yet during the battle it appeared the other way around. Sorain considered the possibility that he had misjudged them. <******** weakling, a disgrace to the Uchiha Clan" He said bluntly before turning around and continuing forward. It was not long before he reached another hill, this time the climb would be upwards. Something that would be entirely more difficult to acomplish yet he was positive that he would be able to make it, what he was more so worried about was the muddy Uchiha and rather or not he was going to have to assist him in making it up the steep cliff. Sorain dashed forward , pulling his head back to force his entire body to shift upwards, as he did so his foot caught hold of the almost 90 degree surface and stuck hard causing him to remain in place, defying the very laws of gravity, allowing him to continue sprinting up the cliff. As soon as his body reached the top, Sorain tucked forward into a barrel front flip before curing his legs over his head and planting them safely back against the ground. From where he was standing he could see the earth country, they had much ground to travel, however because he was not on the high ground he would have a much better solution to their travel issue. From here, he could simply coat the ground with ice, and use it to slide placidly down the rest of the sloping hills. Quote: Imposing Check !!: Agility Check vs 90to keep up with Sorain. Note: Check is rprical, no penalty for failing.

Takera had watched his brother stumble and land in the mud. He turned his head back as to look partially away as his face turned a bit red. His sharingan faded as he went to help his brother up. He pulled Zeru to his feet and blasted him with a force of wind strong enough to blow most of the mud off of him. At that point his ears twitched as he heard " Are you alright?" Takera addressed Zeru from the top of the cliff with some concern. Quote: Contested Roll:265 x 2 = 530 vs 90 = 94% Result: 84% Success [Current Lines: 13] [Total Lines: 75] Quote: [ OOC Note: Sorry about the wait. J and I were kind of busy the last couple days and it kind of escaped us. We'll try harder to post much more often.]

Zeru sighed and glared at Sorain he wanted to tell him off but said nothing instead he smiled a little at Takera as his brother helped him over the mountainside. Finally they came to a huge mountain Zeru watched as Takera and Sorain leaped up the mountain Zeru glared and simply did a few hand seals and floated in the air up to the top of the mountain, landing next to his brother he nodded in answer to the question, and the pulled up his hood even though he was soaked he still preferred to stay as dry as possible. He smiled a little as he looked out over earth country. Quote: Sorry about the wait we got a dog this weekend and it's hard to find time for myself, but i should be back to normal now
