Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ranmyaku desided to take a long walk to find a place of his own, for the night at least. Having walked for hours, the sun now raising in the East, he stumbled upon a old Military base.

"Secluded, distant, and without any other living being that can talk or interrupt my training. Perfect, for the time being."

A small smirk appeared on his face as he jumped over a fence and walked deeper into the base, admiring the old tanks and other military equipment. He walked into the main building, searching for a room that had enclosed walls, it most likely being the warmest place to stay.
Finally stumbling upon a ex-soldier's room, there was a bed and a small dresser, the walls were intact, for the most part, but there was no covers.

"Perfect, who would of imagined."

Ranmyaku walked over to the dresser, dropping his bag on top and opening it, grabbing out his spare clothes, them being the same as the ones he was wearing, and started to place them in the old, slightly broken dresser. He also pulled out some apples from his home land, and placed them in the top drawer, closing it and tossing the bag on the other side of the room to the bed. He walked out of the room, closing the door behind him and started to search the base, looking for any wood and something as extra fuel so he may start a small fire.

After collecting a large arm full of wood, he stumbled onto storage unit of gunpowder along with other sort of fuel for the tanks and airplane’s.

“Oh this is just perfect.”

He grabbed a small can of gasoline, as started to walk back to his room, now ready for the night.

First I should train my magic, it’s been a while since I’ve had to use it.

He walked back into his room, dropping off the wood and gasoline, before grabbing his sword and a single apple. He walked out of his room, shutting his door out of impulse and walking towards the door of the base, which had no point since there were holes in the walls he could simply walk out of much quicker. He opened the mangled base doors, stepping out into the cool base grounds. It was littered with bomb craters and tank treads. It was a basic wasteland and Ranmyaku loved it.

"Now it is time to add some destruction to this wasteland of nothingness. At least here, it will be unnoticed unless you know the landscape perfectly."

He put down his apple, unsheathing his sword and using his magic to spin a small, unnoticeable wave of air around the blade, shifting his body to get into his offence stance. The tornado of air began to spin faster, creating a small whistling sound as it grew faster, still invisible to the human eye. After about 5 minutes of the tornado spinning faster and becoming stronger, the swung his sword forward, slamming it into the ground and forcing it through the tornado. His actions, cutting a tornado in half, created a large blade of wind, which jolted in front of him and sliced through the ground as well as stray tanks and other military equipment. The blade of wind continued to drive itself further, not seeming it stop until it was out of even Ranmyaku’s elf eye sight, after which, it slowly died down and disappeared, leaving a large scar in the earth about 200m deep and 20m wide, growing smaller to the finishing point.

Lifting his sword in the air, the tornado was replaced with chunks of earth on the blade, making it larger and longer. He spun the sword around and dropped the blade down into the earth, pushing it in deep until only the handle was showing. He pulled the sword back up, its metal shining in the soft sunlight as the earth shot out from the ground, shooting through the tanks, airplanes, and even the army base.

He sheathed his sword again, pulling out a box of matches from his pocket, pulling out a match and striking it on the edge of the box, lighting it with a small flame. Using his left hand to hold the match, he flattened his right palm creating a small ball of fire using the flame on the match. He flicked the match away as the ball grew bigger, condensing itself so not to take up a lot of space. he ball now the size of his head, he slammed his the ball into the ground, the fire running through the ground like water and shooting up around him, creating a small barrier the pushed itself outwards.

He stood up straight, putting his hand out near his chest facing each other as mist started to collect between him. As a small water ball grew, it started to cover his hands and slowly move up his arms. In a matter of minutes, the water covered his whole body, even his head. But due to the oxygen bubble around his mouth he was able to breath, the oxygen in the water never allowing it to die out. Him standing there covered in water didn't seem to wet his clothes. Pieces of loose rocks started to fly at him, started out small and growing larger almost the size of himself, the water stopping them all and enabling Ranmyaku to receive no damage. The water slowly cleared, after which he was completely dry. Suddenly, he fell to his knees, feeling somewhat weak for a matter of seconds then standing up, after regaining his strength.

"After 2 years if never using magic, you're body loses its ability to with stand the strain it puts on it. I must remember to practice every night, so I may have enough stamina to last longer and do much more spells."

He bent down and picked up his apple, taking a large bite out of it as he started to walk back into the military base for some rest. He walked into the base deeper, eating his apple the whole way as he opened his door, throwing the apple core off into the distance as he heard a pack of rats scurry towards it for food. He walked over to his bed and sat down, laying on it and resting his head on the pillow. Almost instantly, his eyes started to feel heavy. Not resting for three days, the fatigue got to him and he fell into a deep sleep.

-------------------------------------Next day-------------------------------------

Ranmyaku slowly opened his eyes, the sun beaming onto his face from a window near by, and stretched, still laying on the bed. He sat up slowly, various bone cracking as he moved. He rubbed the sleep from his eyes using the back of his hand, yawning and stretching once again with his arms high above his head. He noticed that the temperature was fairly warm for that day, or maybe it was just him. He stood up, stretching his back into an arch and several loud cracking noises were heard.

Now feeling slightly refreshed, Ranmyaku grabbed a change of clothes and 2 apples, shutting the drawers and heading out his room, closing the doors behind him. He walked out of the base and took a look at the damage he caused last night. He shrugged slightly, it being minor, and took a deep breath of the crisp fall air.

I always seem to love fall the most of all the seasons. Its crisp air, the perfect temperature, the changing colors of the leaves, it’s just right for my taste.

A small smile appeared on his face as he started to walk towards the sound of running water. After 3 days of not bathing, he knew he smelled, he also felt disgusted somewhat with the egg on his hair and the dirt that collected on his skin.

After walking for about 20 minutes, he stumbled upon a small pond with a stream flowing water into it. He placed his change of clothes on a small path of grass, setting the apples on top of them as he started to undress. After stripping himself, he pulled a small vile of a think, blue translucent liquid out of his pants pocket and slowly walked into the cool water, shivering as he submerged his body in the pond. He opened the lid on the vile and poured a small pile of onto his hand, putting the cork in the vile with his free hand.

He started to mix the liquid in his hair as shampoo, washing it and mixing it deep with the tips of his fingers. He moved the soapy suds with his hands and started to wash his upper body. Hi now being clean, he put his head under water, along with the rest of his body, and rinsed off, swimming to a different part of the lake and surfacing. He walked back on to the beach and back to his clothes as a strong wind started to pick up around him drying him off.

Ranmyaku dropped the vile on the ground next to his clothes, putting the apples next to them and picking up his socks and boxers, slipping them on and soon after his pants. Now fully dressed, he slipped on his shoes and put the vile in his pocket, picking up the apples and taking a bite out of one and placing the other back in his other pocket.
