The Four kingdoms » Places

         I step to the edge of the mountain and gasp. I can see the entire world from this point, it seems. The twisting streams of the Forest kingdom and the great castle almost invisible among the foliage. I can see the desert area where the Fire kingdom lives, their yellow and red banners flapping in the breeze. Behind the jagged mountain range lies the Ice kingdom, a windswept tundra area. Their buildings are barely visible. The snow that they use to make their homes blends in almost perfectly with the snow on the ground. I sigh and tear my gaze away from the look at my world to scan the ground for herbs. Not much grows on the snowy mountains, but according to my mentor, the Healer of the Forest kingdom, there are some plants here that cure a wound. Pointed leaves, thorny stem, fur on leaves, oily look- there! I grab a handful of the plant and pick up my bag to put the leaves in. Heading down the mountain, I glimpse a strand of smoke coming from a clearing in the trees. Going over to investigate I find an Ice kingdom girl huddled near a fire. I can tell she is Ice because she is wearing fur and a white cloak with the Ice symbol. I sneak up behind her. "Give me one good reason I shouldn't kill you!" I yell.
