The sky was falling down, down, down, a star from the heavens burning up the air and plummeting to the earth in Hot-Springs Country. It had left a wicked scar upon the land. The nature spirits were crying out in fear - Taru was sure of that. There was no other reason for this kind of elemental agony to wake, to lash across the terrain.
The nature had been corrupted; the animal life in the area had been corrupted. This made Taru, a girl known for her talent in calming animals, a decent fit for a mission deep into the elemental zones.
Still, they'd entered a frightening area! Wind was constantly buffeting them, her hair billowing about her in a mess, as she looked up at the treacherous cliffs ahead. At least riding the wind would be kind of fun?
Taru looked to her two teammates, giving Jin a carefree smile right back even though she was feeling more serious than usual.
"I'm ready, I'm ready," she hummed, doing a little twirl. "I'm Suzuki Taru and I'm good with animals and aim."
She pointed up at the sky, high, high above them. There were large birds up there, riding the wind so comfortably it was almost hard to believe, swooping in neat formations.
"Keep an eye out for those. They might try to knock us off the cliffs for an easy meal."
