The Dojo of Nature's Fury and Harmony is closed after Kith's death...
Sitting under the willow tree long after her victory, Kith wonders about the possibility of accepting students to teach them what she knows. ‘But what I know is so little!’, she thinks to herself. ‘I don’t even know entirely where I am or how I came to be here! My fighting skills have proved to be strong, but where did I learn them? One of the judges said that my Sensei would be proud of me, but I have no memory of a Sensei! I have no memories at all before the last few days. How can I teach anyone anything when I myself am naught but a tabula rasa, a blank slate upon which to be written?!’
‘I have followed this Path of Honor for it called to me above the rest and therefore must be a true part of myself. If that is true, then I must keep putting myself in contact with others to see what rings true in life for me in other ways. If this be true, then perhaps the best way to interact with some others is as a teacher. But only as a teacher who gives and receives knowledge from her students. For I must learn much to find out who I really am in this life.’
Looking out past the hanging willow tree strands, Kith frowns at the ruined glade that she blasted with her newly tapped Northstar energy. ‘I must heal this land and make right what I have put asunder though. All my styles so far are based heavily on nature and I feel that I should not hurt the natural order like this is I can help it. But if I must, then the least I can do is try to heal the wound that I made. So for now my school will be here until this devastation has been undone. Myself and any students that seek me out shall sleep here under the willow and live in harmony with nature. We have food provided by the nearby fruit trees and shelter under the willow. We have a wide valley to practice and learn our fighting skills, and work to do in setting this glade to rights again.’
Standing up and walking out from under the great willow tree, Kith looks around at this place that she has decided will be her home, for a while at least. Calling on her contact with nature, she summons a strong wind from the skies above. “Winds of Nature, carry my words now to those that wish to hear them! Let it be known that the Dojo of Nature’s Fury and Harmony will accept students that wish to learn harness the Fury of Nature in the styles of the Blizzard, Thunder, or the Northstar! They will also learn to live in Harmony with the natural world and hopefully we will all learn more of our true selves in the process!”
Kith knows that any student that wishes to find their way here will be led by the winds along the proper path. All they must do is keep the wind at their backs and it will help to speed their journey to this place. With her message sent Kith smiles and turns to begin working on healing the glade around her.
This Dojo is now officially open. Any fighter gaining Yellow belt from this point on needs to join a dojo in order to gain their Dojo Style power. The styles Kith is able to teach as Dojo Styles to other Yellow belts are: Blizzard, Thunder, and Northstar. If she someday makes it to Brown belt then she will also be able to teach the West Wind style along with another as yet undermined style. At that time, she will also be able to teach Green belts. Please post IC in this thread and Kith will consider any requests to join.

Kith approaches and asks Darkwolf to please not kneel to her. "Come sit with me under the willow tree. I could use a break now anyway."
As they sit with their backs to the trunk, Kith asks Darkwolf which style he would like to learn from her if she accepts him as a student and why that particular one.

"I wish to learn the style of Thunder. Not only is it powerful it always accompanies something getting blasted. Something I hope to do to my opponents using it. It is more wrath than harmony but from what you offer it is the most harmonious since it harmonizes the sky from what the lightning did to it."

Kith listens to Darkwolf and nods her head. "I will agree to teach you the ways of Thunder. Welcome, my first student, to the Dojo of Nature's Fury and Harmony!
"We will start the lessons by me showing you some of the effects of the blasting which you seek to inflict on your enemies. Come here and look at this spot where Sidhe Li stood during our battle..."
Kith makes Eldon wait while she goes to get a sheet of scroll paper. Sitting down, she writes something on it then goes to hang it on one of the tree branches nearby. It reads in large bold letters. 'NO KNEELING ALLOWED'
As Eldon stands after seeing the sign Kith has posted, Kith returns to him to greet him. "Hello and welcome Eldon. I am Kith and I would like to know two things from you. Why have you chosen to come here and learn from me, and why do you choose to learn the style of Thunder?"
"I wish to learn the style of thunder for two reasons. One being the strength in thunder itself is great. Second if you look at my last fight I used the way of plants many times. With thunder usually comes rain. Rain strengthens plants and makes them even stronger." Eldon tells Kith.
"The reason I chose this dojo is because of the harmony it brings from the name. Also the power and the knowledge that can be had from learning from a great warrior."
"Flattery aside, I believe that I will accept you as my student in the Thunder style. It seems to be a very popular style so far. Come over here to the glade and meet your fellow student, Darkwolf. Then we can get back to work and study of nature and her ways, both powerful and subtle."
"And I thank the both of you for being my students. For I will learn much myself in teaching you both what I can. Teaching and learning go hand in hand for both the student and the teacher. Remember that when you have risen far enough to take on students yourself."
"Also please remember to let me know of any victories or defeats you have while part of the dojo. This will affect our Dojo Fight Record which currently stands at 0 wins and 0 losses."

MooCow appoaches the dojo after hearing of Kith's advancement to green belt. As he sees Kith he slso notices the sign about no kneeling allowed.
"Oh Honored one! I wish to join your dojo. I have tried on my own but have failed. I have disgraced myself and I hope with your teachings to improve my skills. I also wish to live in harmony with the natural world for wthout it we can not exist. I wish to learn the Blizzard style from you if that is possible even though I will lose my Fist style."

"Welcome Moocow, to our glade. I would be happy to instruct you in the Blizzard style which I know. You will of course need to help us in the restoration of this devastated area, but I'm sure you will be helpful. These are your fellow students, Darkwolf, and Eldon. They are both studying the Thunder style under me. I hope the three of you will also help each other learn important lessons, as well as teaching me some new things in life."
"I will do my best to keep your dojo honorable. And I thank you for your teachings, I hope someday that I can return the favor. My services are at your disposal for rebuilding the glade.""
"Our dojo record now stands at 0 wins, and 1 loss. Due to this, I cannot accept any further students at this time. Do not worry about this my students, for after every dark night there is a dawn to light up the world again. So it shall be with us, for do we not all follow nature's cyclic circle?"
I have some bad news then...I was told I had to join a dojo to fight Veral. Some bad inspiration during the fight caused me to lose so I believe, even though you had not accepted me at that point, we are 0-2.
I am however attempting to redeem myself by fighting Kerall.
