Now that thats out of the way Lets Begin!

As the morning sun rises among the rolling, grassy plains of the Land of Kusa a young man is on top of one of the many hills. The young man's skin is as brownish-red as the earth beneath his feet, his hair, as dark as the night's sky, ussually flowing down his back only ending a bit above his waist, is tied into a ponytail in order to attempt to control it.

His face looked to be set in stone, yet seemed to be in complete tranquility. his eyes are hard, but seemed to shine and offer a kind of warmth and wisdom not seen if someone so young.

As the sun rises and hits the land with its light and warmth the young man stands as well, rising just as the sun before him. After rising fully to his height, standing at 5' 6'' the young man took a deep breath as the new day began Yet before he could go deeper into his calmness a light sounding screech was heard in the morning sky.

Looking above him to see a small falcon circling a smile made its way onto his face, before a shrill whistle left his lips calling to the small bird to his arm.

The bird dipped into a dive before opening its small wings and slowly flapping onto the dark teen's forearm. The falcon was a magnificent specimen, it was standing a good 9 inches tall and had a two foot long wing span. it was almost completely grey with a white patch on its breast and huge golden colored fierce eyes built for seeing distant prey or objects.

"Are you clear on the message you are to deliver to him?", the teen asked of the bird of prey. The only response seemed to be the sound of the wind blowing before it calmed once again. "Good. Now go quickly Horus! Fly to our Brother in the Land of Fire and deliver our message to him.", the teen gently rubs the feathers on the birds breast, "and stay with him until we arrive. Study his habits and how he is treated, I never did like leaving him in that place."

Horus, as he is now known, tilts his head towards his partner as though asking a question. The teen laughed,"Yes I don't see whats wrong with surprising him with a little hello, we do need to get him back for that one prank long ago...", he recalls fondly.

The young falcon then hops to stand on the young man's index finger, facing away from the human, readying for take off. "Now fly Horus! Let the Spirits of the Winds and of our People guide you to your destination and our Brother Light in the Maelstrom!", the young man bought his hand back only for a second before throwing it forward and launching Horus into the sky, "Fly high Horus!"

And with a loud screech the young falcon took of into the sky quickly climbing with the thermals and was soon nothing but a spot in the distance.

"Sending our bretheren a message so early into the trip eh young Talon? Or perhaps you are warning him of the trials to come?" an older voice was heard saying.

"EH? Oh Elder White Bull! Uh hehe good morning sir." young Talon bowed to the Elder.

White Bull was a older man whose skin was darker then the young man in front of him and with skin as tough as leather. His mind was as sharp as Horace's talons and with but a few words could bring down even the most arrogant of men. His hair much like Talon's was just as long yet instead of completely black his was white.

White Bull was wearing white leather skinned clothes with a white fur robe draped around his shoulders that he would use on the hunts and on the really cold nights. It was said that Elder White Bull's white furred robe and leather came from a huge white buffalo that he had single handedly taken down with his spear after the bull had gorged his horse, Swift Tails, during one of his trials when he was a younger man.

White Bull let loose a small laugh at the young male, "Good morning to you as well Talon. While i appluad you for letting your Brother and his village know of our soon to be arrival, but we must gather ourselves and meet up with the other Tribes before we set out for the Land of Fire.", shaking his head good naturely as the young man blushed at being reminded of his unfinished duties.

"Yes Elder I shall return to camp and help the others prepare themselves for the journey through the Land of Rain to the border between Sand and Fire Country. Though if I may ask Elder?...", getting the nod to continue Talon sheepishly looked up at the old man, "Exactly Which of the Tribes of Sand are we to meet up with?".

"Hahaha! Why it is our old friends the Medjai young Warrior! The only Tribe that is as old and as set in their ways as our own people." White Bull exclaimed with glee, "And it is not just any Medjai Tribe but the one that we are both familiar with."

"Ardeth Bay's Tribe! Ha it has been so long since I've seen that tall cactus in the desert." Talon smiled remmebering his long time friend.

"The very same child. Now about your message to young Light in Maelstrom?" White Bull questioned the young teen, "Did you remind him to tell the Hokage, Inuzuka, and Nara Clans as well of our arrival? It would not look well upon yourself if the proper requirements are NOT met when we arrive, would it?"

Talon gulped as his brain re-worded White Bull's message, "No Honorable Elder! I informed Horus to say that he also has messages for the Fire Shadow and the two Clans, Horus has not failed our bretheren yet sir, and the two Clans will heed our calls to provide for us when we arrive. They will honor the pacts they made with us long ago."

"Good job my boy. I am happy to know that our Tribes will be taken care of. It warms and eases this old Warrior's heart a bit." White Bull replied. "Now back to the Tipis with you young one, we must prepare for the long journey ahead of ourselves."

"Yes Elder!", and with a bow to the old man Talon quickly left his side to help with the preparations to the Praires between Sand and Fire.

'You will make a great leader yet boy, just like your two brothers of different Tribes' White Bull thought, 'I just hope you are ready to face as many trials as i had to.'

Suddenly the wind which had been blowing from the east changed directions and began blowing south west from Konoha's direction.

'The winds? Great Gandmother why have you changed your directons just now? Is this change to be one of good or misfourtune?', the elder thought worriedly before kneeling on one knee and placing a hand on the Earth, whilst closing his eyes.

"Oh Great Mother Earth hear me, your son! Great Grandmother Winds has changed Her Path once more towards the home of one of your children and of our Brother, please Show me oh Mother who is wise and patient! Show me what thy eyes do see of our journey to our Brother in the Land of Fire! Show me with your own eyes the Visions yet to pass!", prayed the old warrior.

When the Elder opened his eyes they were completely white and so bright that they cast shadows on the tall grass around him. His eyes seemed to focus ahead of him as though what he was seeing was right in front of him. Several seconds later he closed his eyes and the white light slowly dissapeared into himself. Yet to some what a couple of seconds was seemed like hours to him.

"I see thank you Mother for your warnings," White Bull then stood up and looked southwest towards Konoha, "Be Strong Maelstrom, for we will arrive as quickly as we can to help aid you in the coming weeks. Stay strong my grandson, for your Brothers, your Family, is coming to help. I just hope we are enough..."

With his last words spoken White Bull turns towards the camp to finish packing his own tipi, afterall he wouldn't be setting a good example to the younger generations if he didn't follow his own duties....or getting his ass chewed out by his loving wife infront of the younglings and other Elders of their Brother and Sister Tribes.
