On this day the sky was at peace, the clouds dotted in the blue space with fluff, and the sun shined through, heating everything below. The trees were lush in color as they absorbed the light's nutrients into their own being. A river flowed gently through the valley, and if you remained still, you'd be able to hear it's soft sound caressing the earth and stone. It was within these dense trees and green foliage where this story begins. Residing on the cliff side of an old structure, surrounded by pools of water from which have been filled by the mountain's spout just a few meters above where the structure sat. Quite a picturesque scene, and yet, today would have subtle hint of darkness fill the air. Anyone could have sensed this looming destruction, unless one wished to believe it did not exist, and ignore it. But, the one who lived on these rocks, could not ignore it.
Hovering above the water with his legs crossed rested Esrevinu, not a human of any kind, but he who had the possession of a dog-like bipedal body. Dressed in ornate cloth with accessories all fastened around his body. All of which had some form of story or symbolism to his journey's thus far throughout life and beyond. Levitating in front of him at a horizontal angle about an arm's reach distance away was his Weaving staff. The Weaving staff contained an owl on the head of the staff, and seemed to look very organic all the way down. More resembled a regular stick you'd find on a mountain hike than an actual staff possessing great power.
Currently Esrevinu's state of mind was absent as his meditation was in full effect. He was no longer within his physical body, but instead existing outside of it. The Internal Arts is what brought Esrevinu so far in life, and what lies beyond it. It is what brought him here to strengthen that art even further than he already has.
Esrevinu's back was to the mountain where the water fell from the hole or spout. He was levitating above a small lake with a considerable depth that would make it very hard for anyone to walk in as they would just be out of the water, the depth was 6'. The bottom of the lake or pool was constructed by Esrevinu using the stone right from the mountain side itself. Smoothly paved on all sides, quite a miraculous job if one were to examine closely. The temple or home of Esrevinu was small but unique and could be seen adjacent from his position sitting on the very edge of the cliff side. His tail dipped into the cool water and his ears shifted with the singing of birds and scattering of lizards.
Esrevinu's fingers were curled with the thumb and middle finger pressed against one another, all the other phalanges stretched straight, and his elbows were to his side. He was using his body to channel all the necessary energy he would need on this day. Pulling it from the sun, the water, the mountain, and the creatures inhabiting near his space. Esrevinu was attempting to conjure energy, while detecting energy that did not belong. In this pursuit, he found what he knew what today was too bring.
A stranger, a traveler, a challenger...the name of this individual did not cross his thoughts or mind. But, the image of who this traveler was, and the energy surrounding the traveler could not be denied. Esrevinu was to be visited today, by a dark and powerful being. A being that in Esrevinu's eyes had a long past of suffering...maybe today was the day to set "it" free. Esrevinu's eyes opened after spotting the dark force moving his direction, all he needed to know was provided.
"Hello, Suliss." Enu said in a soft, calm voice.
