Now collapsing like the rain (Open)

[stormcalling]

Who: Valamia and open
What: Trying to shaman, now with rain showers
Where: All around the forest
When: A week around the beginning of August
Warnings: None

The Elements didn't respond to her the same in this time. Valamia had the same trouble when they first crashed into Azeroth. What little she knew at that time regarding shamanism felt like it was thrown out the window. Since arriving to this time on Azeroth she felt she same as she had then. It made her decision on what to do feel all the more strange. She was not the first person who wanted to jump up and make herself useful but she did need a distraction. That distraction was ultimately going to come in the form of attempting to keep the land and elements a pure and untainted from the Legion as possible. It may not be the boldest choice. It wasn't running headlong into the army or even removing a few imps. The task was however, was one that she truly believed she could manage. That was all that mattered to her.

And so she wondered the forest to a spot she felt or believed a pack of lowly demons had been slain. In each spot she set down two totems and sat between them. She would whisper briefly in Eredun and call upon a rain to cleanse the land. To answer her, the elements granted her that cleansing rain. It didn't encompass the forest, no it only stretched out around her for a couple yards at a time. Isolated showers weren't ideal but it did work. In time black smoke would rise up from the earth and begin to dissipate. Once the smoke stopped rising it was a sign to her that it was as close to pure was she could get it. The rain would come to a stop and she stayed seated. Considering that she was both wet and frustrated, she wasn't in any rush to get up. Her distraction wasn't leaving her to feel any better. Maybe the feeling of accomplishment for doing something for the greater good would kick in...eventually.

"Oh, um... Well I was hoping for post Legion activities..." Which she knows doesn't really help, but it's the best response she can manage, foolish or not. At least she looks like she acknowledges just how her words sound.

But at least the person--woman?--doesn't look like she's going to hurt Kairi, so she eases a little bit, lessening her control on the surrounding plants. She would have booked it if Valamia made any sign of aggression.

"But I don't exactly have a job, so I guess any information is considered useful. What is it you were doing?" Since it doesn't seem to hurt to ask, but Kairi won't be too put out if the woman doesn't wish to answer.

She raises a brow at Kairi. A human wandering around without a job? All in the hopes of finding Legion activity after they had left. Did she not know of the corruption of the Legion? The girl must be human from one of those other worlds. Ones that were untouched by their corruption. She considers how to answer. Ultimately she can only be truthful.

"Cleansing. The Legion can only bring corruption to all around and all that they touch. If left alone, that corruption could turn nature and the very elements of Azeroth itself against us." That could be dramatic. She didn't know considering her connection to this Azeroth wasn't the strongest. It did allow her to gain their assistance but it didn't mean they opened up to her.

"It is not a risk I want to take. The Legion is a force that can only be driven back. To accomplish that will require power far greater then mere weaponary."

Kairi's seen corruption before... just of a whole other kind of force entirely. "They sound like the Heartless... Only with less..." she tries to think of a word, "disorder, I suppose. The Heartless just eat and eat, spreading Darkness wherever there is Light, like it's all that they know. It's just the way of things." Almost a base animal desire, no thought to it, just constant destruction, and when mobilized by someone powerful...

Kairi glances away and looks at the surrounding nature. She's been working hard to understand how to move the plants on her own. To think of it going against her...

"Can anyone do this kind of cleansing?" She likes to help, after all. "Or is it something only few can do?" Her eyes turn back, falling on the bag where the woman put the totems away.

Heartless? She might have heard some other young human mention them before. Did he? Something about what she said sounded vaguely familiar. It wasn't the threat of the Legion. Another time if she was curious, she would ask. For now the threat that was there and in front of them required their attention.

"Druids and shamans are best for the job due to the connection they share with nature. Druids are connected to nature and shamans to the elements. Both will have a better sense of where the corruption is. I have heard those who wield the Light can aid in it but...they would be wandering around aimlessly without someone to guide them to it."

She slowly eases herself up to stand. Old joints were not making all of this traveling around easy. "It is a task where assistance would be welcome." Ideally before she ended up collapsing one day in exhaustion. That would be something she'd never hear the end of from her flightmates.
