Hanzo had just gotten back to his family home from his normal day of training, his body slightly sore from the work out he does everyday to keep his body in shape. Hanzo took his boots off at the door and hung his leather jacket up as he walked up his stairs, yelling to his mother that he is home even though he figured she would not be here and be at the shop working. Hanzo got into his room and got ready to take a shower to rub the sweat off his body.



After the shower was done and taken care of, he moved his fire red hair out of his face and sat himself at his desk. He turned his lamp on, and pulled a book out of his drawer. A Large Leather-bound book with "B.I.N.G.O. Productions" written on it. No Authors are listed within the book. The Botany Studies is a multi-volume of books pertaining to the study of Plants and what these Plants can do. Each Volume discusses the plants found in a specific Region. Even though Hanzo worked for the organization he could only get his hands on the River part of this multiple volume set. Sadly, Hanzo was going to have to deal with that for now.



Hanzo opened the book to the first page, and started from the very beginning. Aconite, also known as monkshood this autumn season plant grows as erect green stems covered by glossy dark green leaves with white undersides, and clusters of dark blue to purple flowers shaped like a monk's hood hence the alternative name. Apparently they were found in every region of the world except for the arctic regions of the world.

Aconite is mildly poisonous to the touch, mostly only breaking out in a rash, but when it is injected or infused into food it’s lethality increases several times over leading to nausea and vomiting. This doesn’t stop people from cultivating it, as it apparently used in both potions of invisibility and to keep away Lycanthropes. People often eat either the dried or fresh leaf of this plant in order to gain some advantage against the curse of the Lycanthropes, but most simply drink it in a syrup form in order to hide the taste.

Amrans is a shrub found in River and Rural Regions and only grows during the spring season. The shrub is deciduous, ranging in size from 2 to 3 meters tall, with stems up to 20 to 30 centimeters in diameter. The part of the shrub is not the part that is important, it is the flowers that bloom from it. The leaves are simple and heart shaped but opposite in arrangement and only occasionally in cloves of three. The flowers are crimson red with tips of yellow, each flower being 5 to 10 millimeters in diameter with a 4-lobed corolla. They are often used in potions of healing, though their effectiveness can range, depending on how long you prepare the flower but even getting the lowest form of healing takes atleast three days.

Then there is the rare Anyseed, a small dense, thorn-covered bush with bright-red leaves to discourage any native creatures from approaching. The branches are more vine-like than branch-like, twisting between each other to form a dense network of thorns. That only reminds Hanzo that if he does manage to somehow find this rare plant to wear his work gloves. Hidden deep within this bush is a single seed, which the plant attempts to protect, and for good reason as apparently it only has one prickly seed inside of it which once that bush dies the next seed grows in its place. Of this rare bush, even more rarely does it create another seed effectively doubling the amount of possible seeds. This may have been done as a evolutionary requirement to continue to spread. Some Alchemists harvest surplus seeds themselves, and offer them to those interested in buying or using them for their Chakra properties. The seed of the Anyseed bush, a deep red-brown seed the size of a walnut. This plant can be harvest all year round.

The next on the list is the common apple. The apple comes from a fairly large tree sometimes reaching as high as 32 feet high. Apples are very rich in pectin, which is why it is put into lower pectin fruits when making jams or jellies and also is said to be used to help protect from radiation. The seeds and leaves of this plant contain hydrogen cyanide, a chemical used in small amounts to help stimulate respiration and improve digestions along with benefit treatments of some cancers but in large amounts, like with anything, can cause respiratory failure and even death.

Hanzo leaned over to a nearby chemistry book, as he looked up what else Hydrogen Cyanide was in, and apparently it was also in almonds which is what gives the nut isn’t characteristic taste. Interesting, so you could pull this chemical out of almonds as well. This could be very useful information to know one day.

Back to the book that he was suppose to be looking at there was Arfandas, and extremely useful herb that is used to bind fractures as it cuts the healing time of the wound in half making it extremely useful for hospitals and the like. It is a native to the cool, temperate wetlands and streams which means that it can only be harvested in Autumn or Winter. It looks like a cattail with leaves that are alternate and basal to a simple, joint-less stem that eventually bears the flowering spikes. Each flower is reduced to a pair of stamens and hairs, and withers once the pollen is shed. When ripe the heads disintegrate into dense cottony fluff, from which the seeds disperse by wind. Apparently they can reach to be nearly the height of Hanzo, but normally they are around four feet tall.

Alright Sinpoder.

Everytime you train something please follow the format as if you were training it for the first time. So post the tech at the top OR at least put "Training same skill 2nd attempt." Over the paragraph. I'll give you some time to fix this. Currently I'd have to grade this ALL as one training.

I am so sorry. I had edited it correctly.

Hanzo moved on to something else, as he felt he had learned enough about Rivers but he did enjoy learning about botany. What was he going to learn about now? He walked over to his wall of books, and he found a general book about forest plants. This was not like the other book which was written by the BINGO organization, this was just a generic book but he opened and started reading.

A smallish tree with thin bark, rounded compound leaves, and clusters of small yellow-and-white flowers called the Acacia. Its bark is most commonly used as an incense, thrown directly onto fires, and its yellow flowers make a subtle dye. The viscous sap flows easily out of the tree when the bark is scored, and many collect it for a variety of uses. Collecting and preserving acacia flowers, leaves, and bark takes no special methods, though the gummy sap can only be tapped after midsummer and must be stored in airtight jars to prevent its drying to a hard crusty lump. Acacia gum is a primary component for many ointments and salves.

Another interesting plan has yellow flowers with 5 petals which are arranged in a spike on top of the stem. It has leaves up to 7 inches long, which are serrated, green on top and white underneath. Also called in Latin Agrimonia Eupatoria. Agrimony reaches a height of 1 to 2 feet. It grows quickly, spreading over low walls and other barriers. The plant is pleasingly aromatic and is kept in tangles to mask bad odors. They grow in waste ground, roadsides, along field edges, and in hedgerows. Its dried leaves must be boiled in a pint of red wine for 5 minutes, and then left to stand for an hour. It should then be used on sprains and bruises in a compress. A successful application will cure sprains and bruises in half the normal time. They can be used as a beneficial eyewash, soothing gargle, and digestive tonic. Agrimony is also used to produce a very heavy sleep if placed beneath a person's head, so deep that the person could not be woken until it was removed

On the next couple of pages was a picture of a dark, dirty mushroom with blue on the top and a dull, powdery orange on the cup’s base. This was known as the Alchemy Marsh Cup. These tiny little marsh cups are found in mossy patches and rotted logs and are used by Alchemists. They use it by first drying it and then crushing them but after that it lends itself well to a large range of experiments more so with an active part of the potion or poison being light or matter change based. On the other side of that same page was a low-growing plant with triangular fan-shaped leaves and stalk-growing clusters of pale blue-violent to white flowers. This plant was known as Aletris and was used in Abjuration spells and apart of incense for some Rituals.

The next couple of pages showed a picture of a man with a plant next to him that went up to his legs with lanky stems, silvery green mint-scented leaves and heads of insignificant yellow flowers. Alecost was the name of this flower and on the page next to that it named off many traits about the flower, such as it only grows in full sun, rich, dryish, well-drained soil. Its uses were many, ranging from Infuse leaf as a tonic for colds, catarrh, upset stomach, cramps and easing childbirth to having it crushed and it relieve bee stings, and leaves can be added to a salve for burns and stings. It also seems to have an effect of repelling insects for some hours but it depends on the potency of the plant, it is also used in fabrics and strewing herb.

The next section was about acouple of healing herbs that are extremely useful and worthwhile if found. All-Heale and Athelas. All-Heale’s flowers that grow at a size of 3 feet high sprouting purple pedals. When put into a pint of olive oil and applied to a wound, a person can work as normal and heal at an incredible rate, healing wounds that would take stitches to fix in mere hours. While Athelas, also known as Kingsfoil, if crushed by the hands of a King can be used to cure anything. While Hanzo doubted that considering the fact that there is weirder stuff in this book and the fact that Charka based plants exist, who was he to doubt what was in this book.
