As vast and as large as this Temple is, it had done very well to remain perfectly secluded from the modern world, and as a matter of fact it is resting just on the edge of Dawn Strider territory. Untraceable by paths or roadways, this temple is located deep in the more forested and uncharted areas of Dawn Territory. Those who had discovered the temple were either turned into monks themselves or killed if they didn't cooperate, which was a rarity at best. This temple consists of a series of six structures, each with a Dojo, shrine, and sleeping space; along with a tall wall that surrounded the temples, each of the four walls had a large door to enter through that was always open except at night. The only source of light found in this temple at night are a number of candle lights and lamps which could easily be lit for the monks that lived here trained to manipulate the element fire to their will. They would train their students day in and day out through rigorous physical training in the day, and hard study in the night. It seems almost a miracle that none of them suffered from insomnia.
The Temple is now at peace, and is free to all who wish to pray and meditate within it's walls.....

Hakuma kept himself high above the treetops so he could get a clear view of the Temple, it has been only a few days and the wild animals there had claimed it as their own. Hakuma leapt to a closer tree with a better view and began to count off the predators that he could see.
"1...2...3...4" Hakuma had counted all the way to several dozen wild animals ranging from ferocious tigers, to giant bears, and even to several monkeys, all of them willing to attack on sight if they saw someone uninvited to their ravaging party, and the worse part was these everal dozen were just the one's he could see. If Hakuma had to guess there were probably well over five dozen of them. Hakuma's want to avenge his monks was insufferably painful, but he had to choke it down and not think of the vengeance he would have, but instead a more logical path. He had to think of the quantity and quality of his opponents before revenge. Hakuma knew he was outnumbered and definitely outmatched even with his new Gaiasword, and his Azure Fire.
"It would be suicide to try and take it back alone...." As hard as it was to simply leave the temple.... "I'm going to need some help on this one if I want the temple back.
With that mindset, Hakuma had to painfully leave the Temple. As much as he wanted to avenge his monks, he would have to if he didn't want to end up like them.
"Where will I be able to find help.... maybe I could just go back and ask Jon and Mori for assistance.... but they seemed a little insecure when they met me.... I just hope they'll find it in their hearts to assist me." Hakuma said as he made his way towards the closest thing around the temple, The Bridge Inn......

To avoid getting distracted, Hakuma had gone around the Bridge inn, time consuming, but worth it when it comes to confronting someone and wasting even more time. Hakuma stood keeled down on a tree trunk observing the animals that were inside the Dojo. In fact, he was almost in the same place he was before when he came here not too long ago.
Hakuma pulle out the powder that he was given by Jon and handed it over the the Weather Wizard.
"Make sure you get this into their face so they'll breathe it in. Once we've used it all up will kill off the rest... easy, right?" Hakuma asked. Of course Hakuma assumed there was more to it than just a bunch of animals claiming the dojo out of nowhere. Hakuma needed to think.
'what would be poweful enough to be able to control the wild like this in such massive numbers? A monster who can control monsters? Or some sort of spiritual link, maybe? I need to find out.' Hakuma contemplated to himself.

Nodding, Yukio opens his book to the marked page. Scanning the words there, his voice becomes lower and heavy, the ancient words seeming to have a weight. "D'sreft su'aco d'sreft...." he trails off, and after a short moment, a faint wind picks up. Slowly, it becomes stronger, faster. "Release the powder." he whispers, nudging Hakuma with his arm. His eyes seem to be brighter, and the jewel on his forehead glows faintly, casting a tiny red light into the shadows.

There was a rush of wind as Loki landed behind the two humans and said. "What is going on here?" Loki reconized the Weather wizard as his masters aid.Loki sat on his hauches and folded his wings back as he awaited a answer.

Hakuma quickly opens the bottle of powder and tossed it into the air, the wind picked it up very nicely sending it straight into the Dojo.
"Now we watch and-" Hakuma was soon interrupted by their new guest who seemed to have come across the dojo. He didn't know who he was or if he was even friendly, but Hakuma answered.
"Must you speak so loud, if you don't wish to get caught by the predators you will be quiet." Hakuma said showing some hostility towards the stranger.

Loki stared at the imputant young man and said in a low deadly voice. "You will watch your voice with me young dawn strider." Loki shook his head to himself ruffling the fur on his head and the feathers in his wings ruffled along with it. 'The nerve these young people have now adays.' Loki had no fear of the predators that was in this dojo knowing that he could slay them easily if they threatened the captains aid.Or the Dawn Strider land wich was one of the main reason Loki had been created.

"Now Loki, be nice." Yukio turned, ruffling the fur on the beast's head. Even though the creature would never admit to it, he enjoyed being scratched behind the ears like such, though only the captain usually had the nerve to touch him at all. Turning back the Hakuma, he concentrates on dispersing the winds through the dojo. Closing his eyes, he almost has an inside view, watching from the heart of the spell-wind. "There are many creatures within." he replies, having moved on after killing off the outside animals. "They are everywhere."

The wind picked up the thick green powder and it blew smoothly into the dojo. The powder began t spread when it entered the dojo, getting all the detailed corners of the inside.
"My apologies, I'm just a little on edge right now, one false move and you could kiss your butt goodbye." Hakuma said nervously.
"And there are six buildings all closed shut, there are probably animals in there that the wind can't reach, we'll have to deal with those ourselves." Hakuma explained drawing his giant gaiasword and resting it on the branch he sat on, which seemed to be holding a great burden of weight really well.

"Without the destruction of the building." Yukio added, a bit upset at this. Reaching across his waist, he drew is sword, which seemed to crackle with electricity. This was usually a tool he used for redirecting lightning, but it seemed that he'd have to use it like a regular blade this time. Inside lightning was always so messy, after all. "Should we attack a building together? I believe that if one uses the door, and the other two were to come in through another way, we can trap the beasts."

Hakuma nodded, but in both agreement and disagreement.
"It would work, but there's not much ground to be sneaking seeing how open the dojo's are in the first place." As soon as Hakuma explained, the animals began to react to the powder as they began to snuff and evn fall to the floor in an instant. The animals that were foolish enough to walk out of the buildings and see what was the commotion also faced the same fate. It was working even better than he had planned.
"Okay, there should only be a handful of them now, I think it would be easy if we were to just take them out one at a time to be safe. Just be very careful, I think there's someone, or something, in the dojo that is controlling them so be on the lookout for anything that stands out as mysterious." Hakuma said as he jumped from his post and landed inside the walls of the dojo.

Loki gave a slight wag of his tail with the assistant peted him just in the right area then Loki got serius. "I could cleave the roof off with my claws if you need it open the poison shouldnt affect me so i should be the perfect beign for the job. Not to mention i can fly." Loki looked at the two men waiting for a answer.

"I see." Yukio shrugs, still thinking his plan worked fairly well. But after all, it was this kid's dojo. Might as well do it his way. More fun it seemed. Turning to Loki, Yukio shook his head. "No, Loki, I think that's a bad idea......How'd you find me anyway?! Are you following me around again?!" he asks in a fairly loud whisper. The wizard didn't quite like that the winged creature followed him about, he found it rather creepy. No matter how often it happened, he never quite got used to it.
{It's bad, I don't care. I'm tired now, and my feet hurt. xP }

Demonic Shadow666 Loki gave a slight wag of his tail with the assistant peted him just in the right area then Loki got serius. "I could cleave the roof off with my claws if you need it open the poison shouldnt affect me so i should be the perfect beign for the job. Not to mention i can fly." Loki looked at the two men waiting for a answer.
Hakuma wished to make his point to the man who decided it would be a good idea to 'claw the roof open'.
"If your going to be breaking roofs open, what's the point of reclaiming this place. I came here to get this dojo back in one piece and I don't plan on getting it in any other condition. Clawing roofs open is out of the question." Hakuma explained making his way to the closest building and opening it's doors. There were two bears, and a tiger inside where as soon as the light shone into the building became aggressive and the tiger lunged at Hakuma. He raised his blade quickly and was thrown to the floor where the only thing keeping the Tiger away from Hakuma was his blade. Hakuma got one hand free and shot a fire straight into the tiger's face where it yelped in pain and eventually burned to death. The bears made their approach towards Hakuma.
"Uhh, whenever your ready, Yukio." Hakuma yelled to him

Loki shook his head at the odd assistant that his master had chosen this time and took off into the sky speeded off so fast that all that could be seen was a streek of color from Loki.
