Walking into a clear space surrounded by trees, I stop and listen to my surroundings. All aound me, I can hear the whispering voice of the spirits of Gale whispering their secrets to the trees. The leaves sway in their laughter rich in color and beauty. While over the ground the whispers still be carried, moving, winding through the tall, sharp grass. Then finally, I release he breath I'd been holing all this time, and smile as I know this place is secret.
"As good a place as any." I say aloud as my voice just carries to the trees and seems to be caught by them so as never to travel to the outside world. "A quiet place for me to test my experiments." Slowly, I each my left hand infront of me and over to my left hip. When finally it reaches there, it clasps around my swords sheath and as my left hand undoes the ties that hold it to my waist I begin to hum an enchanting melody. Now free from my waist, I set my sword upon the ground and pulled out a large scroll which I had carried here on my back.
Slowly, I run my hand over its body until my hand gently touches a seal at its center. "Here, I will master the jutsus I develope. Here, I will prove my worth to me. And when that is accomplished, I will prove it to the world." As my fingers clasp the edge of te earthly seal, I begin to peel it away as time itself seems to slow. In just the brief moment that the seal was released, a purifying light washes over the clearing and birds take flight out of fear of what's to come.
