Shizen's Training Log [Private]

Day 1.

It is another day in Sungakure no Sato, the sun is high and the wind is calm, the normal sand storms being absent from this day allowing the citizens to go outside and un cover their homes, the man known as Shizen Kinzokutei resides upon the perimeter wall, he looks out to the west and towards the shifting sands in the distance, his emerald eyes taking in all detail of the area, he lets out a relaxed sigh, this was bound to be at least a decent day, his garb on this day being a strange one for a Sungakure no Sato shinobi, black leather is his choice of attire with silver shoulder guards and a black cape, his long silver hair drapes his back, for most this attire would be the worst choice, the sun being attracted more to the color black, strange enough this does not both Shizen for he has worn this attire for some time and has grown up in the desert wastelands of Sunagakure no Sato, his body used to the heat due to being conditioned for it.
He gets to his feet and while applying chakra to them begins to walk down the exterior side of the wall until he reaches the sand below, he slides his right hand up and through his hair moving his bangs to the side, his Sunagakure no Sato headband gleaming in the bright mid day sun, Shizen now makes his way through the sandy terrain to reach an old training spot of his, his boots crunch against the firm dry sand sinking slightly but not enough to swallow him up, Shizen putting just enough pressure in his steps to judge the terrain while walking to avoid sink holes in the sand, it takes only a short while for him to reach a small rocky area, it consist of a small mountain that casts shade upon part of the area only due to its height against the sun, many of the desert animals seeking refuge in the shadows to cool their bodies after being out in the sun, Shizen approaches but they pay him no mind, even if they registered him as prey their bodies need rest due to the tiring activities in the desert sun this causes them to glance towards him as he passes but nothing more.
Shizen reaches a cavern carved in the side of the stone by the natural elements, he goes within as he is greeted with a cooler temperature enough that is sends shivers through his core due to the drastic change, he proceeds through the darkness knowing his way through this winding caverns that go beneath the mountain for a good distance, after traveling approximately two hundred meters he reaches his destination, a dead end with a slight crack in the ceiling, a single stream of light shining forth to cast a perfect circle at the center of the room revealing it to be a circular space of roughly ten meters in width and twenty meters in height, Shizen walks towards the light and sits under it allowing it to envelop him, his form looking celestial with the reflections of the leather giving his body a soft glow, his legs cross over one another as he slides his left hand to his hip and slides under his cape only to grasp a small gourd, to the naked eye there is nothing special to it, it is simply a one meter container to store liquids or dusts within but that is soon to change, Shizen places it upon the ground in front of him balancing it upon the stone floor, his eyes close softly as he focuses upon the gourd in front of him, its existence is make known with all of his senses as he focuses on it, his breathing is steady, his chakra flows from his core only to envelop the container, his hands form together to form the tiger seal as he concentrates, his index fingers and thumbs placed together whilst the remainder of his fingers lace over one another, his chakra pours within it, each and every detail of the gourds interior is filled with chakra to the point of bursting, it is then the technique takes hold, the chakra now begins to stretch the space within, larger it grows within whilst the exterior stays the same, the chakra swirls as it compresses itself and expands the interior walls thus expanding the dimensions within the closed space thus making his own pocket dimension within the gourd, he feels out further how much is within, for now it is only ten meters that was created, he needs more for what he has planned, his breathing slows further as he focuses his chakra even further pouring more of it in to the container, it stretches further and further now having fifty meters of circular space within, still not enough, small amounts of sweat trickle down Shizen's face as he uses up even more chakra to reach his desired effect, after a few more minutes of concentrating he has it, his goal has been reached, one hundred meters has been created as a circular space within this simple one meter exterior gourd, Shizen's eyes open slowly as he goes to inspect his work, he reaches his right arm forward and peers within, the entire is pitch black and swirled slightly, even the light from above being unable to reach the bottom of this new space, this will work perfect.
Shizen steadies his breathing as he calms himself, this was a massive feat to preform with this technique but it was worth it, he looks towards the cave walls as they drip slightly with water that has been absorbed by the shifting sands during the rare moments of rain fall, Shizen cycles through his memory as he mulls over what he read long about about his clan the Kinzokutei, a clan born with the unique magnet release allowing them to control the dust form of objects they had a bond towards, strange enough despite his age and rank with in Sunagakure no Sato he has not found his matching element yet, he has gotten by with simply his intellect and raw skill, although this was enough to complete past events Shizen feels he would need much more power in the future should war ever march upon Sunagakure no Sato's door step, he reaches in to his left pant pocket with his left hand and pulls forth a small cork which he puts on the top of the gourd before he reattaches it back to his right hip, his hands now take on the tiger seal, his index fingers and thumbs once more pressing against one another and his remaining fingers his middle, ring, and pinkie finger lacing over the other, although the seal in reality had nothing to do with any of his current techniques it aided in his meditation, his eyes close softly, his chakra flows outwards softly as he tries to grab hold of any of the elements in the area that may have a bond towards him, he searches the edge of the area and within the exterior walls, still nothing, his chakra flows downwards and in to the ground, sadly nothing, he expands his chakra further outwards until he feels a slight pull, unsure what it is he focuses harder on it, the object it heavy and large, it shakes a bit but remains unmoved, Shizen takes a deep breath and makes exact notes on it's position, he looks down at the ground where it is, it is slightly to his left five meters under the ground under solid rock, Shizen bites his bottom lip softly as he debates on how to free this material from it's rocky prison, he looks around and views a larger stone that has broken off from the cave walls, Shizen gets to his feel and walks over to grasp it, this stone is perfect having a pointed edge one one end and a rounded edge on the other so it is easy to grasp, Shizen walks over to the space marked within his memory of where the material lies below the earth surface, Shizen moves his body perfectly as he brings the stone down and impacts the point upon the ground, the floor beneath him cracks slightly as he broke through the thick stone layer, beneath that is sand, he strikes once more to the side of the hole he made to expand it so he can explore the desert depths, he tosses the stone used to bust the floor to the side, the hole now a good five meters wide allowing him ample room to work, he begins moving the sand with his hands tossing it on to the cave floor eventually digging himself a small hole, he flows his chakra outwards once more to confirm its location, he is close, no more than one meter away, he digs further stepping in to the holes edge so he can reach better, it is here he finds it finally, the sand is brushes away to reveal a think chunk of earth, traces of silver decorate this chunk of earth, Shizen grabs upon the side whilst focusing his magnet release chakra upon it, the combined efforts allow him to lift it out of the hole and on to the cave floor with a thud, Shizen panting softly over its weight, he sits next to it as he observes the material, he has read over many materials that are capable of being magnetized while on his journey to find his own no matter what it might be, this allows him to identify this metal as tungsten, an extremely rare and durable metal in it's purest form, how lucky was it for him to find a large chunk of pure tungsten ore deep within the cave, this can also explain why he never found his element during his life, his was rare, a soft smile graces Shizen's lips due to finally finding his element, he grabs a small stone and begins to grind off bits of the Tungsten in to a dust shape being nothing but metallic shavings but when chakra is applied he watches as they dance through the air under his absolute control, having only maybe enough to fill a test tube he forms it around the visible chunks of tungsten sticking forth from the stone protecting the element within, the tungsten dust swirls around the pure tungsten and eventually begins to grind it down, more and more dust being added as it vibrates softly by shifting the grains back and forth to aid in the collection process, the more tungsten dust he accumulates the faster the process, the ore now enveloped by a silver cloud of dust as it spirals around it's source stripping the earth away from the raw tungsten within collecting every little trace, a small thick cloud now hovers in the ore's place Shizen having completely dismantled it now gaining access to his born element, his soft smile now growing in to an arrogant smirk.
Now comes the time to practice with his new power, Shizen manipulates it from it's cloud of dust in to a solid cube shape, with the removal of extra earth and his body growing more familiar with the control this is easy for him, the shapes now begin to shift from that of a cube to that of a sphere, then to that of a perfectly sculpted pyramid, now a rectangle, and then an octagon, the wonders he could do with his power but this was enough playing around with it, it was time to test how well it could be used on the battle field, the octagon shape splits in two and then flattens out forming twin silver long swords that are now grasped within Shizen's hands, he inspects them, the details are perfect and exactly as he envisions in his head, perfect masterpieces, he stands and swings his right arm, with a swish he slices through the air with a single graceful swing, he does this once again with his left blade, he now crosses them over one another with a sight clang, the blades perfectly crafted from tungsten hilt and all, Shizen swings his right arm outwards and hurls his blade at the wall, it impacts the wall and upon his orders erupts in to tungsten dust and is recalled back to him, his left blade now slowly turning back to dust as well, Shizen tests his abilities further now forming the dust around him in to a shuriken shape that hovers around him, they swirl around him screeching through the air as he ejects them forth in to the stone wall in front of them with incredible force sticking each one of his fifty shuriken in to the stone wall, he is pleased with his efforts, the shuriken break apart and recall themselves in to the state of tungsten dust, Shizen reaches to his right hip and pulls the cork from his gourd, gracefully he guides the tungsten dust within not even remotely filling the space within but allowing ti to function as a perfect storage for the large amount of metal.
Shizen looks around never his smirk leaves his lips, this has been a good adventure out on the field, he steps towards the exit of the cave and proceeds through the the dark caverns to reach the surface one more, fresh air greets him once he nears the exit as he in hales deeply taking it in, he steps out of the cave and upon the sandy terrain of the desert once more, he looks towards the gates of Sunagakure no Sato and them to the sun which is setting at this point, perhaps now is a good time to turn in, he makes his way slowly towards his home, he reaches the village gates and nods softly towards the guards on duty, his presence being a familiar one to the village so the guards let him back in without any questions being asked, he proceeds down the streets of Sunagakure no Sato until he reaches his home, it is rather large being second only to the Kazekage's mansion, his parents being quite wealthy and passing along the house and their possessions unto him once he came of age after they died, Shizen now owning it all, he opens the door softly and walks inside and is greeted by carved marble for the entry room, an elegant spiral staircase leading to the upper level, he stretches by lifting his arms above his head and arcing his back popping it a bit, all the meditating has made his body stiff, he groans a bit as his back pops, he makes his way up the steps and to his room upstairs, he opens the door upstairs revealing a heavily decorated room filled with everything he might need, a large bed, dressers, a fully stocked closet, travel packs, food cabinets, and even a mini refrigerator, he sits upon his bed and yawns laying back upon it as he looks up at the ceiling, his eye lids close softly as his breathing slows, Shizen falling asleep after his exhausting day training, although nothing physical was done he stretched the limits of his chakra system with his dimensional expansion and with the control of his tungsten, both being a feat of their own to accomplish, he is now taken hold of by the land of dreams, the shape of the area is absent, nothing but a black mass for the entirety of his dream world that seems to stretch on endlessly, color begins to add itself to his realm as he recalls his training in the desert, shades of light brown and yellow paint the area as the sand and sun is recreated, shades of blue recreate the sky as the feeling of air blesses his dream as he is standing within the desert once more facing the mountain, he proceeds within once more and slowly makes his way along the same trail as before, he reaches the end of the path to reach his special room the hole from before still present, he claps his hands together as the earth lifts and folds backwards, Shizen jumps within the hole as he manipulates the sand under his feet and carves himself out a tunnel, he travels with the sand until he reaches a hidden cavern even deeper than the one he trains in, within the chamber is multiple minerals sticking forth from the walls, diamonds, emeralds, rubies, anything that you could imagine, Shizen follows this chamber towards the tunnel on the far wall, a slight amber light is visible to allow a small glow to the area as he travels along the path deeper in to the cave system, he reaches the end to find a massive amber crystal glowing softly that coats the far wall giving the room and those within the amber coloration due to it's light against that of the darkness, Shizen proceeds towards the crystal and reaches out to touch it but as his hand reaches forth the crystal shines once he gets within a few inches, his body immediately shooting awake, he sits up as his breaths quicken, a slight bit of sweat trickles down his body as he looks out his window, the full moon now graces the land from the heavens above, Shizen has been asleep for a while strange enough that his dream seemed so short, he calms his breathing and lays back, he adjusts his form and crawls up towards his pillows and lays properly upon the bed with his head nestled against the pillow, his eyes blink a few times as he yawns softly, his eyes softly closing as the glow of the full moon casts the moonlight upon his bedroom chambers, his eyes close as the land of dreams takes him once more thus ending a long day for the man.

Day 2.

The next day arrives, the full moon sets over the hills of sand, the sun rising elegantly in the distance casting its amber glow upon the desert sands of Sunagakure no Sato, the sun peaks through the window of that of Shizen Kinzokutei, the illuminating rays of sun light gleam off his reflective attire, the black leather shining gently against the morning sun, his silver shoulder guards slowing a deep shade of orange, the light graces his eye lids which softly open with a slight yawn accompanying them, his form rises and sits up upon the bed he got in late and fell asleep in his clothes, his hands rise and rub his temples a bit then his eyes as he tries to wake up, his arms sliding upwards towards the sky stretching as he arcs his back by leaning backwards causing it to pop a few times, he slides off the bed and gets to his feet, he starts undoing his armor and taking off his clothes one piece at a time, he tosses them within a hamper on the far wall, his gourd un clipped and placed on his bedside table, he makes his way to his personal bathroom within his bed chambers and begins getting ready for the day, the shower is started as he fully strips and then gets in, the water running down his body as he runs his hands through his hair getting out all the sand and sweat from the day before, he cleans himself for a good ten minutes before the water turns off, he reaches out to grab a towel as he dries his hair first and them the rest of his body, he tosses the towel to the side and steps out upon the stone bathroom floor, steam filling the room which he inhales deeply as it relaxes his lungs, he walks in to his bedroom quarters and reaches within a drawer and gathers his clothes slipping them on one after another, he grabs a brush off the table and runs it through his long silver hair ensuring it goes straight down, after a few minutes the brush is put back as he slips a fresh set of leather armor on, he grabs his gourd and fastens it upon his left hip, he grabs his Sunagakure no Sato headband and ties it tightly around his head, he opens his door and makes his way down the marble staircase to exit the main doors, he steps out quickly upon the desert floor shutting his door behind him to prevent the sand from getting within his home, his boots crunching slightly upon the dry sands, he makes his way down the winding streets and he reaches the gates, he casts a soft nod towards the guards as his farewell as he heads towards the caves once more, his boots softly sink within the shifting desert sands outside Sunagakure no Sato as he nears the caverns from before, this time the animals from before are absent most likely in another place since it is still early the heat not getting drastic yet, his darkly dressed form enters the pitch black abyss like cave as he makes his way through the winding tunnels and in to the caves deep interior which he trained within yesterday, he is greeted by the familiar single ray of sunlight that fills the room, the hole where he excavated the tungsten ore from before still exists, he recalls his dream, he went back to this place and found a hidden chamber full of minerals beneath the earth, at the core of it was a massive wall of amber crystal, when he tried to inspect it further he woke up after a bright flash of light, could this really be down there? Shizen decides to investigate this further, he reaches down and pulls the gourds cork from it's mouth and puts it within his pocket, tungsten dust flows forth from the gourd and in to the hole, he expands it to coat the hole as it vibrates outwards and grinds away the sand and stone, he leaps softly down in to the hold and stands upon the solid floor now made of tungsten, he remains stationary as his tungsten dust does all the work hollowing out the cavern, his eyes close as he feels out it's location and recalls that of the hidden chamber, once he gets low enough the tungsten dust envelops him in a sphere of metal, he uses this to traverse the subterranean depths, the exterior of the tungsten shell vibrating and grinding against the sand and minerals in his path as he gracefully passes through ground below, it takes a while but eventually he reaches something he feels resistance as he causes his tungsten dust to vibrate faster as he grinds through a wall of stone, nothing else is felt as if he reached some interior space, the tungsten dust parts as he views the inner cavern, he steps off the tungsten platform and upon the stone floor as the tungsten dust hovers around him as a mist, he looks around to view this inner space but strange enough it looks nothing like it was in his dream, no minerals, crystals, nothing, he closes his eyes and listens to the area, he can hear something, running water, it is coming from the crystal chamber in his dream, he proceeds through the pitch black chambers as the sounds of water grow louder the further in he gets, it has advanced from much more than the sounds of rushing water to the sound of rampaging water as he finally views the source when he steps in the chamber after traversing the dark halls, a massive waterfall filling a spring below, a truly wonderful sight, emerald crystals sparkle along the walls as rare glowing flowers grow along the floor and walls giving the room and blueish green aura about it, the area granting a calming aura to all who take in his hidden wonder, he steps out upon the water and up to the water fall, a slight smirk upon his lips, he slides his left hand in to the waters as he feels past them, strange enough there is no wall behind it as if the area continues deeper, but this will be an exploration for another day, he returns to the edge of the oasis and begins planning himself a way back home and a way to return, he coats the walls with his tungsten dust feeling out the paths through the caverns, he finds the wall he broke through, he looks within the shadows as he views only slightly the area, the Tungsten dust moves with him as it moves in to the tunnel from before, it travels ahead of him and begins carving out a perfect tunnel, the light from his original chamber shines down upon the earthen ground as the tungsten dust forms a staircase up to the chamber, he steps upon the stairs as he looks towards the exist, he thinks for a moment, he needs to keep this place a secret, he moves his dust forth as it impacts the surrounding walls of the exit causing the stones to fall and cave in the exit, although crudely made it should detour anyone from going further, he will fix it up later.
Shizen turns and faces his hole once more, he thinks for a moment, he needs someway to mark his path, he is not advanced enough with his magnet release to see with the dust yet so he is gonna need some light in the chambers, he remembers the glowing plants around the waterfall, could they possibly work for the time being?
Shizen makes his way through the chamber the Tungsten dust storing itself back with in his gourd for the time being until he needs it again, Shizen memorizing the tunnels due to his multiple trips through them, he eventually reaches the first chamber, he looks around and finds the next tunnel, he makes his way through it keeping track of his steps as he makes his way to the waterfall chamber, he walks over to a few of the glowing flowers and inspects them, he views where the roots connect and plans their removal,a small amount of tungsten dust emerges from the gourd, it burrows under the flower and removes the dirt under it and lifts the flower while keeping it rooted, Shizen does this to multiple more flowers now having twenty of them following him, he makes his way through the chamber and positions them in key locations, he spreads all twenty flowers throughout the tunnels using the tungsten dust to burrow a new hole for them to reside within, their light blue glow stretches perfectly along the chambers form one flower to another as the path to and from the waterfall is now highly visible, he makes his way back to the original entrance as his tungsten dust stays with him during his travels, he gets to the initial room with only the small trace of light as he views the caved in entrance, he sends his tungsten dust forth as it grins against it making only a small opening within, the stones are then smoothed as he makes himself a small opening to duck through, he exists through it as he pulls his sand back towards him as he lifts a few stones with it and puts them over the opening, the sand vibrates and grinds against the oddly shaped stones and makes a perfectly flat stone to hide the entrance fitting in place, Shizen inspects his work and smirks, the tungsten dust retreating back in to his gourd, this day has been interesting to say the least, he may not of found this chamber filled with reaches but he found a hidden oasis he can now use to train, he turns and makes his way through the darkness to find his way out, after traversing his normal route he is greeted with fresh humid air once he nears the exit, he breaths it in as it is much different then the stale air within the cave systems, he steps out on to the sandy desert landscape as his arms stretch upwards towards the sky his form taking in the sunlight, he begins thinking over the inner chamber, where could this waterfall be connected to, there is no lakes around here for miles, could there possibly be an entire network of underground rivers around Sunagakure no Sato? He could only wonder what other treasures lie beneath the shifting sands, this would set the scene for many adventures in the future, he is pleased with today's adventure, he slowly makes his way across the desert as he reaches the Sunagakure no Sato gates after a few minutes of traveling, he waves to the guard upon re entry as he sets foot in his home village once more, the area is busy with sales men and many ninja going out for their daily missions, it is approximately mid day according to the suns position within the deep blue sky, strange how time seems to pass so fast within the chamber where the sun is entirely removed from play and unable to reach the hidden world below the surface, Shizen makes his way back home as he reaches his door step stepping up on it and opening his door to reveal the marble decor within, he makes his way to the kitchen as he is greeted by his butler, after being asked about his day the butler goes to prepare his dinner, it doesn't take long as dinner was being prepared before his arrival, Shizen sits down to eat and after a little bit he finishes, roughly an hour passes for dinner as he enjoys his meal, he thanks his butler for the meal and makes his way upstairs and to his room, he reaches his bed and sits back on it, with a yawn he lays back on it and drifts off ending another day of exploring.

Day 3.

Shizen wakes within his home like normal, the sun rises over the sand dunes in the distance, things have been calm in Sunagakure no Sato, missions began to flow and it seemed Sunagakure no Sato was on its way to a possible golden age with everyone working towards the future, just recently he made an interesting shinobi, another jounin in the village one known as Anko Uchiha, on the Kazekage's orders Lady Amane had them both subdue two "demons", both disappointing in reality and ended up being fairly easy to dispatch, the one one that proved to be the least bit troublesome was that of the sand leviathan, truly an interesting battle to say the least the sand control and regeneration made it a difficult opponent but with his skill it was child's play, his other mission was indeed strange, all he had to do was cause a cave in and seal away an unknown entity, what could that of been? Most likely it was just a bandit attempting to lure unsuspecting travelers within the cave, although he felt there was something more to it than that, perhaps one day he would go back to the scene of the mission and investigate further but for not he kept it as ordered and let it remained sealed off.
He thought also about the one who helped him on the missions if he could even say that, Shizen feeling as if he did most of the work only being forced to watch over him for some reason, why would the Kazekage make him partner with a plebeian?
This was quite annoying, it made him seem weak as if he needed his help to complete a mission, Shizen did how ever want to know what connection he seemed to have with the Kazekage aside from being clansmen, perhaps this is why Shizen was tasked with watching his back, who knows.
Shizen sits up in his bed and yawns, his sleeping attire actually being put on this time consisting of a black kimono, the morning sun casts an amber glow upon his room, he gets to his feet and makes his way to the private bath room with in his bed chambers, he removes his Kimono and places it upon a hook as he starts his shower to get ready for the day, he rushes through his shower only doing a quick one to mainly rinse off, the water is then turned off as he steps out and grabs a towel and pats himself dry, he walks in to his bed chambers once more and goes to his closet to pull out his regular attire, black leather pants, suspenders form a cross attached at the hip that cross over his chest before going along the back and forming a cross once more and connecting to the back of his pants, an over coat is over his body consisting of black leather with silver metallic buttons and silver shoulder guards, indeed an attire unfitting the desert but one he still prefers due to the heat not bothering him, his damp long silver hair drips slightly upon the stone floor as he fetches his brush and combs it straight down, he tosses the brush on to the counter as he fetches his gourd of tungsten dust and straps it to his left hip through use of a small leather strap letting it dangle softly, he slips on his boots, and fastened his Sunagakure no Sato headband as he makes his way out his door and down his marble staircase to the exit door, he opens it and makes his way on to the early morning streets of Sunagakure no Sato, it looked to be a normal day no one was really active at this time the sun only just now rising over the distant sand dunes, Shizen makes his way towards the village gates where he passes by the stationed guards, he gives them a soft nod as his morning adventures in the desert are a regular thing for Sunagakure no Sato, the guards return his nod with one of their own, he then makes his was across the morning desert sands, the grains crunch under his boots but quieter than before, rain has fallen during the night dampening the sand although this would not last for long, Shizens destination on this day is the hidden cave system he discovered, he crosses the desert sands passing a few animals preforming their morning activities of either scavenging for food or sunbathing to gather energy, Shizen after some time reaches the cave systems, he enters through the initial entrance in the side of the mountain, the memorized path is taken as he traverses the inner caverns scattering under the earth, if one did not know the caverns they would surly be lost within the caverns for the rest of their days, Shizen takes his normal route and locates his closed off chamber, his left hand slides down and softly uncorks his gourd as the tungsten dust emerges and begins grinding against the edged of the wall before it is slid out of the way allowing Shizen passage, he returns it to its position and smooths the stones with his tungsten dust to ensure if he was followed the cavern would look no different thus diverting people away from his oasis, he slips the cork in to his pants pocket letting the tungsten free flow at this point, the illuminated light from above casts its glow upon the carved staircase that leads to many more caverns below, Shizen steps down the stairs and is greeted by the light blue glow of the glowing flowers he repositioned upon his last visit, he follows the trail of glowing bulbs marking his path, he reaches the first of the chambers, originally a hole carved through the wall with his tungsten dust through his subterranean travel but now serving as a checkpoint to reach the inner depths, he looks around once he hits the check point and remembers something, he has one explored half of his cave, what could be down the other side? Instead of taking his normal route to the waterfall he has his tungsten dust unearth a flower roots and all by picking up a chunk of dirt and using it as his lantern to view the world below the surface, he follows the opposite direction of the waterfalls path, the roar of the water growing fainter as he travels the tunnel going straight for the most part no branches seen as of yet, nocturnal creatures make themselves visible due to the illuminating glow of the unique subterranean flowers, bats, spiders, snakes, rats, all kinds of creatures are seen but flee from Shizen as he traverses the tunnel, man has obviously not set foot down here before due to how skiddish the animals are, the tunnel seems to keep going on and on, nothing seems to be down this way but still Shizen walks, he directs his tungsten dust below him as he manufactures a platform in which he stands upon the tungsten dust now moving him through the environment on his metal transport, deeper and deeper he goes as the tunnel seems to curve downwards a bit, normally unnoticeable with the incline only being small and gradually going down Shizen with his tungsten platform designed to go straight notices his platform rising, or more so the ground lowering.
Shizen continues down this long and barren tunnel, he views a crimson glow in the distance, the smell of burning ash is picked up by his nose, how far has be traveled? He must of been going for miles at this rate, he hovers closer to the crimson glow at the tunnels end, Shizen proceeds slowly once the chamber seemingly ends, the chamber dropping off in to a sea of lava that is rushing through the area below, how deep down was he that he could find lava? Well his curiosity was sated at least for this path, it would be too dangerous to attempt to fly over the lava to view its source with his tungsten dust he did not want to risk it melting and himself falling within the molten river, instead he turns his back on the chamber and heads back the way he came, he proceeds swiftly through the tunnel softly illuminated by his captured flower as well as a soft glow from the magma cavern behind him but this only lasts until he gets so far away leaving to travel only by flower light, he pondered to him self what he was going to do now, he could always visit the waterfall chamber once more, he never fully explored what was behind it, he hovers quicker as he flies through the chambers on his tungsten platform, he now reaches the illuminated chamber filled with flowers that connect the two paths, he takes the flower he currently has with him and plants it near the wall at the opening to this most recent chamber, with his tungsten dust he carves the words "magma chamber" within view of the glow so he knows what is down there should he forget, he hovers down the glowing chamber at this point, he crouches and sits upon the platform allowing it to take him to his destination, he is greeted by the mixtures of green and blue glows from the emeralds and natural glowing flowers, Shizen directs his tungsten dust towards the falls as he forms a make shift umbrella over his head to block the falls as he enters the inner sanctum behind the volcano in this oasis, it is dark but has a slight glow of deep blue due to the multiple colors shining through the waterfall, he does not view much back here, the cavern is short and seems to dead end after the falls, he lowers his platform and steps upon the ground as it disperses, Shizen walks around this small space behind the water fall and stretches a bit, he had nothing else to do so he figured he would just relax for a bit, he sits on the ground with his back against the wall and facing the waterfall, his soft gaze of cyan that matches the mixture of colors outside watches the rushing waters as his eyes close softly, the sounds of the falls relaxing him as his breathing is soft, if anything his adventure here was not a waste, he found a perfect place for meditation for when he simply wanted to get away, the falls perfect for calming his stress, the soft glow of the flowers and crystals adding to the relaxation they cause, he enjoys this for a bit as he clears his mind and takes in all the natural sounds around him, he yawns as he starts to almost dose off, he opens his eyes and shakes his head, he can not fall asleep down here, he still does not know what full lurks down here and thus leaving himself vulnerable in an unknown environment would be most un wise, he softly gets to his feet and walks towards the exit, his tungsten dust makes a make shift umbrella once more so he can pass through the falls as chakra is applied to the sole of his boots allowing him to walk upon the water, the tungsten dust stores itself back in to the grourd for the time being, he makes his way across the lake and on to dry land once more, he reaches the connecting cavern and follows the glowing flower markers until he reaches the checkpoint cavern, once here he follows the flowers once more to the main carved out chamber, he proceeds steadily through the illuminated caverns as he reaches the staircase at the end, he looks towards the sealed off entry way as he flows his tungsten dust outwards and begins carving his exit as he has done before, he completes his task and steps out sealing up the exit and heading home once more.
