Become one with the Earth

You found yourself on the peak of mountain alone looking around you saw nothing except nature. You looked at the ground before sitting down wondering what exactly was the trial here.

All the other trials had been difficult challenges overcoming an overwhelming **** or an obstacle or both and yet the mountain was quiet and serene. Unfortunately none of the your predecessors were particularly skilled in earth magic leaving you alone to discover the mysteries of the Earth.

The peak was covered in snow and while you were a little chilly it was fine for the most part. Looking around you saw a small oddly shaped stone cylinder like in nature. Wiping the snow off of it you sat down and began to clear your mind, perhaps meditation could help you as it was had led you to the void the first time. Perhaps allowing your mind to pick the problem apart would help you.

Crossing your legs you sat on the stone. You cleared your mind allowing the mana within yourself to guide you perhaps thinking not like a modern wizard but in terms of the nature around you could help.

At first you felt and heard nothing instead an uneasy Darkness is what you found. It was cold and dark it was terrifying no. “Fear is an illusion of the mind, Fear is an illusion of the mind.” you repeated to yourself like a mantra. Then walking through the darkness you heard and felt it the wind it came alive what was once a soft breeze was the song of the skies all around you the sounds of whistling a sweet tune like a bird could be heard in your mind.

Then you felt it a speck of snow land on you before long the song began pickup with the snow singing a sweet tune like a harp and the wind singing together in harmony like long lost brothers reunited for the first time. Then you heard a the rhythmic sound of strings and looking inside you felt warmth a song emerging from your own warmth. Could it be the elements were trying to tell you something perhaps?

The song slowed to a crawl before becoming silent all together when you heard it. A loud rhythmic thump before you heard it again listening closer you recognized it sound like drums. Before long you heard the song singing in harmony all at once the before fading once more leaving the lone drums singing a song be itself. Could this be? Was this the song of the earth you were hearing?

You opened your eyes and the song still playing inside you before a rock split infront of you with a loud crack falling to the ground before the song finally stopped. Looking down at the palm of your hand a brown diamond joined the red, blue and white diamond. It appeared you had passed this trial only one more to go.
