The ground in the Thistle Meadow started to shake and rumble, and the waters of the river rippled wildly. A force began to pull the liquid together, the torrent of streams waving through the air and spiraling into the shape of a large stallion. Dust picked up as the winds began to stir, obscuring the vision in the river as your eyes had to squint against the stinging particles. The water and earth began to solidify, sides of the strange horse beginning to expand and contract with breath.
In a way, the god of the earth was being reborn. His journey back from the other side was different, blocked. Instead of coming back through a portal, he had merged himself with the very fibers of nature in this realm and pulled himself back together.
Finally, the dust settled and the great, large bay stood in the center of the water, inhaling his first, clear breath. He stood with his massive pillars spread in a way that spoke of his unbalance. Wings were pushed from his body, acting as a balance. The god opened his deep, emerald green eyes, looking out at the night sky and feeling his heart stir with hope. None of the grasses had completely died and the trees were in growth.
He smiled. His son. Hototo had done what he asked. Hototo had given life back to the earth.
The god shook dust from his body and walked from the river, moving across the land. Lush, green grasses and flowering plants erupted in his wake like poetry. Trees bloomed and blossomed. He had much land to visit, much to do, but here was a good start. The land would await the sun patiently, and he would heal what his son had started.
This is in part an effort to get back to the roots of our character, partly a way to allow the admin time to reset and push through some projects, and partly because as writers, we are all masochists who have a penchant for tossing out characters into fantastically precarious situations.
The Endless Night plot is going to be a part of a serious of events that are going to be happening to fix the rifts. Currently, this is the "broken magic" phase. This means that magic exists, however, it is incredibly faulty and not entirely reliable. Also, the only magic currently available is moon magic and now earth magic (dark, wind, earth and water or a hybrid of those).
Any characters possessing Dark, Wind, Earth, Water or hybrid of either element magic will now be able to use their abilities. Unfortunately, the abilities will not work perfectly or seamlessly. Wielders may find that their magic turns on them or has unexpected effects. Without the balance of all other elements in the land, the magic remains "broken".
Only long standing characters with 125+ posts AND dark, wind, earth, water or dark/wind, earth/water hybrid magic will be able to use their magic without side effects, as they have a stronger connection to the land and magic. However, if you want your older character to struggle with magic, you are welcome to have them be "broken" as well.
Characters with 125+ posts CAN USE ANY TYPE OF MAGIC, but it must be BROKEN! Meaning that often times it will backfire, cause damage, become incredibly addicting, uncontrollable, etc. This is where you can be incredibly creative!
Characters UNDER 125 posts cannot use their magic unless it's dark, wind or dark/wind hybrid magic. Soon a plot will be released where their magic connection can be broken as well.
