Welcome to Gaia! ::

In one of the few land settlements of the water clan, there lies some towers. These towers are build on the great water swirl, where the land and the water contently shift. This place is the place where the leaders of this great clan reside. These lands are considered holy, and only those that are called to it can even enter. You, have been called to the elders. As you approach, clearing the way for your boat by pushing and pulling the water under the boat, you see the crystal towers, tall and majestic. They sparkle like the great ocean in the sunlight.

Here is where you start, on your way to the great council of the water clan.

The council stands before the great doors of the sacred towers. "We welcome you to the great towers. May your journey be filled with many blessings." One of the elders say.

"We have an urgent message for you to deliver, young water smith. We shall talk more once you have come inside." Another elder says. The massive doors begin to open, and the vastness of the sacred towers becomes revealed. Blue crystals decorate everything. If you didn't know any better, you would almost swear that the whole tower was made of ice, even though it was not cold to the touch.

Once the grand doors open, you see many great leaders of the water clan gathered. They all talk, for something seems to be up.

"We fear that our once good allies from the air clan are planing an invasion. If they do invade, they will most likely bring their new friends, the fire clan. I don't worry about the fire, but the air clan could be some trouble." One of the elders mention. He is swift and spinally, and doesn't move with any hindrance. Unlike other elders that their years seem to weigh them down, this elder had a spring to his step.

"We want you to go. Talk to our southern nation. See if they are willing to come to our aid. We once had a diplomat down there, but that was a long time ago. We fear that the earth clan has once again seal their borders." This elder speaks in quick bursts.

"Stay for a while though. You should rest before you head out again. If you push yourself too hard now, you would not be as successful." The elder with a spring to his step invites you in farther.

"Then we are on our own. Our one clan will be fighting a war against two other powerful clans. The fire don't fear us much, it is the wind clan that we have concerns over."

"You shall take the southern route, and through the tunnel the earth clan made through the mountains. They have it heavily guarded. You will show the guards the seal on this letter." The elder suddenly pulled a letter from seemingly nowhere and into his hand. "Once they see the seal of the water clan elders, they should let you pass. Don't be surprised if they keep a heavy guard around you. This is the letter you shall give to the lord of that clan." He hands the letter over to Crystal.

"Don't be surprised by their barbarous behaviours. They are not as civilized as the rest of the world, and they live in trees. I do hope you are not one to fear heights." The elder laughs.

They all do the same. One of the elders quickly says, "Be careful. The outside world can be very dangerous, and we no know not how the earth clan will respond. May your journey be guided by the great waters."

(When you are ready, you can take your boat and go to this thread. I made your path for you. http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?t=8353787 )

"Yes, we did." One of the elders from inside the chamber says. They are respect you, yet cringe when you freeze the waters with such ease. Few of the water clan were ever born with the gift of ice, and even less that possessed it so strongly as this one. Only one of the members on the council had the gift at the moment.

"We have a special task that requires your, finesse. We have heard that the fire clan is sending another convoy, and this time it is within our grasp." This elder wasn't as old as the rest, but he had well proven his abilities, and is known through most of the water clan.

"They are sending it near a section of their boarders that come near the great waters. If you haven't guessed already, we would like you to go and 'acquire' these supplies. We only wish to hurt the relations between the fire clan and the air clans. If this bond can be broken, then we can take this war to another level." The elder speaks in an even and level tone, almost showing no emotion at this time. This is the one that possesses the gift of ice.
