Welcome to Gaia! ::

You have been invited into the great tree of the earth clan. This city tree is the largest tree in the world, growing into the land sense the start of time. Little houses have been built into the tree, and its large leaves are used for many things. Zip lines connect this tree to the other trees near by, making travel from the tree to the ground and back up easy.

Here you are to meet with the leaders of your clan. They may not be elders, but they are the elders children, taking over as soon as their parents see them as old enough to take over. Here, you adventure begins.

"Our clans have always worked together, and I must ask a favor of you." The clan 'elder' replies. His age appears to be younger than you, but he holds himself in a manner of one much older. "There is a convoy of food heading to the wind clan. If we can disrupt the food trains, then I think the alliance between the fire and wind clans my finally be broken. Do you think you could take a few men over there and disrupt the flow of food? We don't need any back here, but we wouldn't want to wast the bounty from the earth." He says, holding his eyes high and level. He looks at you in the eye, demanding respect from his pose, though being friendly at the same time.

(This is to explain what you have already done so far in the other thread.)

"May the stones under your feet be solid and good." The elder says in farewell. "Oh! Before you go, it would be best to not let the fire users know it is the earth clans doing. Try to make it look like the water tribe. We don't want our hand revealed before we want to be known in this little war of theirs."

"Defend yourself and your troops. They are of top priority. Safety first, then cover it up as best you can. I know that is not easy, but it must be done. There are uniforms of water navy that you can use if you want. Just come back alive is all."

"I know that, which is why you need to try not to use your earth powers. I will not send people off onto suicide missions though. Your safety and that of your men are of top priority. If you all live through the fight, you can always make it look as though it was the water users. I leave all decisions on this mission to you. You are the one on the field, where as I am back here. You will know what to do when you need to do it. I trust you." The 'elder' smiles, finally showing his youthfulness. He was still in training, but he was deemed worthy of the title already, a true sign of his skills.

A wave of Reeve's soldiers emerged from the ground at the base of the Grand Tree, each one with battle-wounds and a small amount of stolen supplies. Reeve himself was not there, he had stayed behind to converse with the Water Clansmen. As the morphs trooped into the trunk of the Grand Tree, Kor appeared behind them, the unconcious Zig Zag still in his arms.

The healers gather near the wounded, tending to the victorious soldiers as they all return. A messenger approaches Reeve, letter in hand. He hands it to Reeve as soon as he comes near the tree. It is sealed with a wax seal, and in the emblem of the earth elders.

(I did post that way so that when your character did make it here, he would have something to do. I actually didn't know if your character was here yet or not. sweatdrop )

As you open the folded parchment, you notice that it is a formal request to see the elder council. It also asks for you to have a report on the mission, and any casualties that may have occurred. (When I say report, you will be reporting, so they are asking that you gather in information before you see them. Your character wouldn't have to write a report, only say it to them.)
