Once upon a time in a kingdom long forgotten lived and thrived a clan with more power then any of those who roam these lands now. This clan was much more different then the clans of today. For the clan was made of families but, not just any families. For you see, the kingdom had been untouched by human hands and mortal man had not come into existance just yet. The clan was brought together by the strongest and thickest of trees. Amoung the leaders of such clan was the great Willows, the Pines but most importantly the graceful Sakura of the East. No other lands had more beautiful cherry trees. The Sakura family was the strongest of them all. They bloomed together, soaked in the sun together and never fought over water. They were all at peace until one Sakura's curious mind got the better of him. The foolish Sakura, known as Breeze, approached the council members of the clan and asked them to seek the power to grant him the ability to pull his roots from the soil below and wander the earth beyond the mountains that surronded the valley they lived in. The council refused and Breeze had put shame upon the family's name. No Sakura was to show respect to Breeze ever again. Left with his silence and loneliness, Breeze devised a plan to borrow the power to grant him his wish. He took in as much water and sun as he could for the next several months. His roots grew long and far. He pushed them slowly to the source of all power. Then one cold starry night he dipped the tips of his roots deep within the magic that kept the land strong and untouched. He pulled it in and it ran threw his bark. He felt his branches shake and his roots break. Something strange was happening! His bark changed from brown to tan and became soft and vulnerable. His branches entwined together and became long arms. He grew hands and fingers! Then his trunk split and he grew legs! In the heat of the moment Breeze forgot all about the power surging through his vains. He ran off with the power still deep inside him and explored all the lands. Many years later he returned to his beloved home to speak of the trees to the north and the waters to the west. But upon arrival he was shocked to find the river had run dry and all his clan had either died or was to weak to live much longer. Breeze was deeply ashamed of himself and vowed to fill the lands with the most beautiful trees of them all. Sakura-- the cherry tree-- would roam the lands once more. From that day on Breeze and his offspring stood for all that was honorable. They took upon themselves the values of the wilderness. They stood for Justice, Kindness, Strength in the family, Honesty and Self expression. The family is kind, outgoing, helpful, strong and unstoppable. They fight for what they believe in and stand by one another's side no matter what trouble it may bring. They hunt in packs together and defend each other. The love deeply for one another and nothing can break the chains they have. For the Sakura believes nothing can over come love. However, the names of those who came after did not survive the wear or natures wrath and many names and the most wonderful of stories have been lost in fires, floods and storms. Therefore the names of all with the Sakura blood pulsing in their blood is not known. But by chance you see a Ranger, Geomancer, Druid or Barb speaking with trees let it be known that he or she probably knows more then what one can see. ~Koukei |
