The day was mild, quite forgiving, but had all the ingredients for a storm. Kohaku, having just finished her shift in the hospital, returned to this place - the gates - to stare at the wilderness that she once retired from. The Eisen clan was her birth-right, although she was not bound to its leadership by blood, but rather she was chosen to become the new clan leader of the Earth country shamans. She was given time, just like all soon-to-be Eisen clan leaders, to travel and experience the world for all of its good, the bad and the frightfully unknown.
One day, Kohaku would lose her name for the sake of her clan and be known only as "Eisen" of the Eisen clan. This didn't really bother the young woman too much because she didn't have much need for her name, given that her only concern would be the safety of her people and their way of life. The shaman would look out to the raging sea, which sat at one direction, bow her head to the ground and press her skin against the membrane of dirt and rubble; her arms would plant themselves onto the ground and her lips would caress the earth in a moment of silent mumbling. "I pray to The Four Great Trees of Uchū; Raifu, Shi, Mokutei and Sankuchuari..." She would continue to speak to the four aspects of life, the belief system of the Eisen clan, that shaped the entire culture and their way of life.
After her prayer had been completed, slightly smudged with dirt, Kohaku's upper body would arise as she sat on her calves. A smile would dawn across her face as she prepared for a new day.
