Greater Cedar Forest

With the passing of Enlil's essence to Enkidu the divine, eternal storm that raged over Kamiyasumi has finally ended, leaving behind it a flooded, ruined slice of paradise. This didn't sit well with Enkidu, who spent months laboring to bring life and vitality back to the ruined sections of Cedar Forest, using his Divine energies to restore the land to it's former splendor, much like his actions on Nagi Island, and Theodoro especially.

The deepest reaches of the Cedar Forest in the wake of the Cataclysm, the Greater Cedar Forest is home to a number of exotic oddities, most curiously of which being a giant mystical creature called Humbaba. It maintains peace between the various kinds of fauna, and pacifies outsiders when necessary. Some believe it is a peaceful giant Arali who decided to make the Cedar Forest it's home after the fall of Eanna, others believe it has some connection to Enkidu.

Breking through the massive winds Strix reached a place where there was peace and quiet with the eye of the storm being nothing but a paradise. Around her she could see there was the storm still rolling, thunder and clouds ever rolling around while they surrounded the eye she was in. There was a forest with trees that were untouched by the ferocious winds and beautiful sunlight that was now shining down kissing her skin with warmth that had been denied by the clouds and wind previously. Little had she ever appreciated the sun as much as she did now, despite her teachings from Diana. Looking around she could see further up there was more to explore with ruins, more forestry and something she couldn't quite make out. Moving on, she pressed closer towards the centre of the land.

Finally reaching the relatively peaceful eye of the storm, Lucifer took in the sights and sounds, it seemed like a large forest, his life sensory could feel animals around him of all kind but very few people in the immediate vicinity, though there seemed to be a large gathering of life forms some distance away, far enough that he was glad to have honed his senses to increase the range at which he can detect life.

Pressing onward he moved towards these life forms.

Previous post.
This post marks the beginning of my mission using these storyboard elements:
- Scout potential threats (2).

Musashi pierced through the stormwall into another area of the cedar forest, its towering trees growing...which was astonishing, considering the state of the areas of the storm not far away. It seemed this area was in the eye of the hurricane that raged, and managed to grow.

But, trees didn't grow overnight, and while its possible the eye of the storm just had not passed over this stretch of land yet, with what Musashi had seen from sea, it was almost like...the storm wasn't moving? Perplexing. Was the storm itself supernatural, conjured by something?

Either way, the reprieve from the rain was well welcomed, and Musashi could actually sense quite a bit of vibrant life in the area. It seemed much of the fauna had chosen to make itself at home here, in this pocket of safety; not that Musashi could blame them, as she was essentially doing the same thing.

She took the opportunity to dry herself and her things as she scoped out this small area, adding it to her notes and map as she did so; the most astounding thing, was the sheer size of the animals! Wild boars could grow to be incredibly large creatures, but this was something else! She was passed by a monstrous boar, whom she barley came up to the ankle of. It was unbelievable! At first, she steeled herself for combat, as boars could be ferocious creatures...but it hardly gave Musashi more than a passing glance. Maybe she was too small for it to be interested in her?

It did not take Musashi long, using her soul-sensing, to find a few other animals: squirrels, birds, even a bear: and they were all proportionally massive. It was incredible - it was like the pocket of the forest housed veritable giants.

Luckily, nothing seemed to pay her much mind, but even that was noteworthy. The animals here were not quite tame, more like...lax? As if they had no need to fear for their safety, or hunt for prey. More things to add to her notes.

As she recounted these things, watching the creatures lumber about below as she sat on a tree branch, she couldn't help but think that her notes thus far sounded like mad ramblings, or someone writing a fantasy story about a fantastical land beyond the furthest reaches of the map...but, here she was, and even she wouldn't believe it had she not seen it with her own two eyes.

Gathering her things, though, she decided to continue onwards. There was, after all, more to explore.

Akujin finally reaches the eye of the storm, the eerie calm forest leaving chills within the Tengu. Akujin sensed the many animals that roamed the forest calmly. He could sense the small animals and the wilder beasts, all peacefully existing. Akujin began to believe he wouldn’t find the Tailed Beast when it sensed a large, malevolent spirit further ahead of him. Could this be the Tailed Beast he seemed? Akujin sent his thoughts towards Madara, detailing what he sensed to him. Akujin continued forward. LLM

Madara reached the calm of the storm, an unnaturally quiet place. The wild animals around seemed to avoid him though he didn’t care; he had one goal and he was nearing it. Activating Deva Path and Preta Path, Madara progresses forward.

( Tendō ) - Deva Path
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: Short
Chakra cost: 30

These gravity manipulating techniques, however, cannot be performed in rapid succession; the amount of time required to recharge after use varies depending on the scale of the technique used, five seconds being the basic minimum. The Deva Path also grants another ability: Chibaku Tensei which allows the user to create a huge makeshift terrestrial body from all the surrounding matter that is attracted to a black sphere released by this technique.
Note: Can only be used by Rinnegan biographies with access to the Six Paths Ability.

( Gakidō ) - Preta Path
Type: Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: Short
Chakra: 30
Damage: N/A

Having braved the storm, Merlin finally had the time to take pause and collect himself. The man he sought could be anywhere on the island, but the true question was whether or not there would be a confrontation. The incubus was unaware of his goals, even of the purpose of gathering those in possession of the Relic Cores, among whom he was included. He had no choice but to ascertain the answer by meeting Madara. Activating his Flesh of the Incubus, Merlin traverses onward.

Type: Supplementary
Rank: A
Range: N/A
Chakra: 50
Damage: N/A
Description: Flesh of the Incubus is an ability which results from the combination of one's overflowing vitality, that is, an already powerful life force made greater by mastery over Yang Release, with their ability to utilise Wood Release at its highest form. Because of the latter condition, it is an ability unique to Merlin. It takes the form of a woodskin that perfectly mimics the user's appearance and anatomy, even replicating the feeling of normal skin, which is present on the body at all times, and is bolstered by Yang Release. The benefits granted by this are twofold; not only is the physical integrity of the wood greatly bolstered, allowing it to reduce incoming physical damage by 40 points, but the woodskin itself is granted sentience, allowing it to automatically balance the delicate ratio between Natural Energy and chakra on the user's behalf, meaning that the user no longer needs to remain still in order to generate Sage Chakra properly, nor are their abilities limited whilst generating Sage Chakra. The woodskin itself allows the user to convert more of their own chakra reserves into Sage Chakra per turn, an additional 5%, for a total of 10% per turn. This technique can be kept active to continue generating Sage Chakra at an increased rate beyond the minimum threshold, up to its maximum, though the Mode will not empower the user or their techniques, as per the normal method of meditation and usage. While Sage Mode is in proper use, the woodskin will no longer generate Sage Chakra, though its other properties will remain active. In order to utilise Flesh of the Incubus, the user requires the Yang Release specialty. Flesh of the Incubus can be used a total of three time per battle, lasting 5 turns per usage as well as a three turn cooldown in between usages.

Peaceful. That's the thought that would've crossed most travelers minds as they came through the storm and into the tranquil forest. It was like night and day. The warmth of the sunlight permeated the land, there was no need to protect their faces from the harsh winds anymore. Dabi and Horus would make their way through the forest, moving further inland.
