From thatched roofs and primitive beginnigs to now, a journey over the course of centuries, and the ancient being that roamed the halls had never lost that thrill of seeing new faces learn of the harmonious song resting in their heart and mind. Even the darkness of history could not damped Kanos ultimate joy as the first years began to wander this place of wonders. A home to all. To the abandoned and feared, for the loved, for the dead, for everything but the shallow hatred of humanity. Yes.. for all his love, if the black seeds of corruoted hearts again sprouted in these sacred hallways again, Kano would do his duty. Many blamed the corruption that the Darkness was said to bring but Kano had seen hatred fester in the hearts of every practitioner to grace this place. It was those who chose hatred over peace that had to be dealt with. They threatened harmony. Dissolved the unsteady peace the world now shared with the communities of Elemental Practitioners. To avoid the waste of human life. Kano shook his head to dispel the unpleasant thoughts invading his mind amd focused again on the light reflecting off the waters outside the windows of the upper floors. Memories of happy times tutoring students near the lake fluttered through his mind as each step forward took him to a different time. Sometimes a few short years, others an entire lifetime. All of them brought a smile to his hooded face. ------------------ The door to the infirmary was already opened when he arrived, a singing student apoarently having wandered in before him and letting thr many other voiced echo into the hallway where his natural worry played part and warned him of a disaster that may have occured or an accident of some kind amongst the more aggressive students testing their mettle. Kano stood in the door frame silently scanning the room for signs of injury amongst the gathered but blew a sigh of relief when reality struck. This must be the antisocial students who either feared the outdoors or simply wanted some quiet alonetime. Yet the quiet ones always seemed to attract others.. Stepping fully into the room and closing the door, the students would feel his presence with a tingle up their spine. The feeling of something ancient. Living shadows crawled under his heavy robes and obscured his face even in the most well lit areas of the school. The only flesh visible was his left hand, the skin was pale white, borderline turning a very light shade of blue, and was gaunt. "Ah, so many students crowding the infirmary this year!" Kano beamed with joy that none were injured, advancing on the nurses desk. Every step brought the temperature in the room down further. When he finally stood next to Miss Stargazer, every exhale of breath was visible amid the cold. "I'm terribly sorry to interrupt but I have suffered a mild injury I was hoping you could help me with. Another teacher and I were having an afternoon spar and well.." Kano brough his right hand up, the long robe sleeve was moved back to reveal the stump where a hand should have been. The pristine white bone, jagged where the limb had been torn off rather than a clean cut, was clear for everyone to see. The withered skin around the injury hung in tatters but no blood flowed from the grey flesh. "Do you think I'll make a full recovery, doctor?" Kano kept track of every students initial expression to the ghastly sight, carefully studying how they handled the situation.
