Zuruel

Zuruel smiled as he stumbled across a dense forest on Kika Island – one of the few on the rainy island that actually managed to flourish despite the harsh weather conditions. Here, Zuruel peered into the dense patch of tree trunks in search of a rather common tree. An oak tree. His goal was to harvest as many nuts as physically possible. A feat which would be rather time consuming, which is why he also enlisted the help of his Soul Clone and faithful Moon Dog companion which he motivated by playing a song on his flute known as Inspire Competence.

Soul Clone

The Soul Clone smiled as the Inspire Competence tune caused positive and powerful emotions to stir inside of its body. Swiftly, it darted around the tree trunks in search of a particularly brownish trunk with a rough texture that would hopefully reveal itself to belong to an Oak tree. Fortunately for the clone, it wasn’t searching for anything rare. Oak trees were about as common as you could get. The odds of coming across one was massive.

Lady

Lady, like the others, used a combination of sight and smell. Boasting an enhanced sense of smell probably greater than even that of Zuruel’s, she sniffed the air and darted around the greenery in search of an Oak tree. Like the others, she had come across so many before in her past travels that she knew exactly what to search for. An iconic brownish bark with a very rough and aged texture. It wouldn’t be difficult to find.

Zuruel

Zuruel grinned to himself as he harvested all the Acorns he could manage. Once the tree was stripped bare, he continued his search. The more Acorns he could find after all, the better. Carefully, he sniffed the air for the nut’s usual earthy and pungent aroma. It was unmistakeable. Especially for such a common type of nut. “There.” He thought to himself as he caught a scent trail. It wouldn’t be long now before he would find another oak tree.

Soul Clone

The Soul Clone was equally as ecstatic as the original. Upon gathering all of the Acorns into a large grey sack, it tossed the plunder over its shoulder and continued the search. Scattered all around the horizon, the clone noticed trees of varying shapes and sizes. The problem with hunting down such a common tree was that most looked somewhat like it. Brown bark, rough texture and thick green leaves. The description could belong to anything.

Lady

Lady smiled. After having the clone assist her with the harvesting, she carried on searching by raising her nose high into the air and taking in the surrounding odours. As much as she enjoyed aiding her companion Zuruel, she hated manual labour and wasn’t the type to willingly want to carry around a sack of hundreds of acorns. “Hm…” She thought to herself as she caught whiff of a particularly earthy aroma which could only belong to a variety of nuts.

Zuruel

Having found more nuts, Zuruel simply smiled before climbing up the bark of the rough-textured tree. Here, he proceeded to liberate the nuts from the branches with great speed. Each time he did so, he dropped the harvest into a bag down below. This went on for several minutes until finally, the tree was bare of all nuts. With that complete, Zuruel made us of the vantage point by glancing around. He was searching for another tree.

Soul Clone

The soul clone grinned even wider than the far less emotional original Zuruel. Making use of its advanced Taijutsu, the clone simply punched the tree once in the centre of the bark. The force behind this strike caused the entire structure to vibrate, the act of which causing acorns to rain down onto the ground. After collecting these items, the clone tossed the harvest bag over its shoulder before continuing the search.

Lady

Lady leaped up the tree she had just found and balanced her four paws elegantly against a thick sturdy branch. Here, she made use of her tail as a make-shift whip. Swiftly, she used the tail to knock away the nuts and forced them to fall down below into a sack she had left laying against the ground. She repeated this for several moments until finally, the tree was barren of any more acorns. With a harvest collected, she dashed over to the next tree on her right.

Zuruel

After the acorns had been harvested from the tree, Zuruel set about searching for a new herb. An herb he could only find during the bountiful summer. In this case, the object of his attention was a specific type of mushroom – a fungus that could boost the eaters awareness and cognitive abilities to frightening levels. Naturally, Zuruel wanted this. With any luck, it could help him defeat opponents much faster than him.

Soul Clone

Wanting to assist its main body, the soul clone scavenged through the ground in order to gather as many fallen acorns as possible before abandoning the search and swapping to one much more interesting. Like the original body, the soul clone searched for the Zulsendra mushroom. A tiny fungus that would easily be missed amidst all the other plants and shrubbery growing in the area.

Lady

Lady snickered. Upon sweeping all of the acorns she had found into a neat pile with her tail, she set about in search of the Zulsendra mushroom. Although she didn’t have its scent signature due to never having come across one before, she had a vague idea of what she was looking for. Like other shrooms and fungus, her sensitive nose searched the area for anything with a pungent and earthy aroma.

Zuruel

Zuruel scowled at his luck. In contrast to Zulsendra, Oak trees were abundant in the land and extremely easy to find. Quite literally, he had harvested more acorns than he could handle. Unfortunately, Zulsendra wasn't quite as kind to him. No matter how many hours passed, the Kedoin had failed to find a single trace of the mushroom. Grumbling, he headed deeper into the forest to try his luck.

Soul Clone

Like Zuruel, the soul clone couldn't help but frown at the sight of no mushrooms in the area. Perhaps this wasn't the right environment to find them growing. With that in mind, the soul clone decided to head deeper into the forest where the branches and leaves high above was much denser. Here, in the darkest regions of the forest, it hoped to find a healthy patch of mushrooms growing.

Lady

Lady shrugged. Her nose had lead her to a bunch of acorns and some sort of strange and unidentifiable plant with long dark green leaves and yellow speckles. However, not one trace of Zulsendra
had made itself known to her. With a disheartened look, she decided to head deeper into the forest with her two allies. It made sense that perhaps the mushrooms would be growing amongst other healthy plants.

Zuruel

With the search for the mushrooms complete, Zuruel carefully whipped out his iron tools. Carefully, he harvested the mushrooms from its roots whilst being careful not to damage the stalk. Once complete, he was set. All that remained now was hunting down more acorns. Yo do this, he simply glanced around and kept a careful watch for any iconic tall and thick trunks.

Soul Clone

The soul clone also immediately swapped to hunting down a Oak tree. Like the original, its goal was to find as many acorns as possible to sell to the local farmer. To do this, it relied on its powerful sense of smell. As its nostrils flared, it took in all the odors in the air. The first to hit it, were several earthy scents. Likely, these were due to the hole the original Zuruel dug earlier.

Lady

Lady also caught a whiff of the earthy and muddy scents in the air due to how far down Zuruel had to dig in order to separate the mushrooms from their roots. With this area now contaminated with the powerful odour of the mushrooms, Lady decided to head deeper into the forest where she sniffed for the scent of acorns. Having gathered many before, she knew what to look for.

Zuruel

Having discovered a interesting set of trees, Zuruel smiled. Carefully, he dashed up the first one and with the aid a mastery of two layers strike, he slammed his fist into the top of the trunk and allowed the impact to shake the branches. As this happened, acorns rained down from the sky. He also did the same for the rest of the trees before setting about gathering all the loot.

Soul Clone

Upon harvesting a tree bare, the soul clone squinted its eyes. As far as it understood, it could spot a group of trees in the distance. Although it couldn't tell what the trees were, they appeared to be oak trees. It could tell from the tall and thick brown trunks with rough textures. Further above, the branches were thick, spread out and full of distinct green leaves. This had to be it.

Lady

Lady, meanwhile, collected the last of the acorns and set about finding one final tree to aid in Zuruel's odd money-making scheme. Swiftly, she dashed around the forest whilst sniffing the air at various locations. As always, she searched for the distinct musky aroma of the multitude of acorns each tree held. If one was found, she planned to dash directly towards it.
