Misprint The Raccoon Watcher of the Forest(book 1)

Forest elemental Training

It was now only 7 days after Misprint had Moved into Garth's home in the Great tree. Things around the home were now cleaner and more organized because of misprint doing chores he Had done for Navil in Garth's House. This was not a problem for Garth he liked having a cleaner home but he knew he was going to have to train Misprint himself now. So Garth says to Misprint "today is the day that you will start the training to become a forest guardian by learning the element of the forest." Misprint stars at Garth astonished for a second and then nods then says "okay I won't let you down". Garth smiles and says  "I thought you might say that". Then they walked out the door to begin the training. 

They end up going to a clearing in the forest about 6 miles away from the Great Tree. The clearing was about the size of 20 elephants laying flat. Garth then says "Misprint this I a new area to expand my forest but we can also use it as your training ground. The first step is to drain your head of all Thoughts. Then second listen to the sounds of the element. Lastly, use the element within your head to let it seep in and take over. once you do that you will have completed the first stage of this element." Misprint looks at Garth then asks "but can't you show me how it works first" Garth nods then sticks his left arm out then bends to the ground and sticks the palm of his hand to the ground. Within seconds, a spruce tree starts to rise from the ground rising at an extraordinary rate. After 10 seconds Garth stops and the spruce was half the size of the Great Tree. Misprint Stares at the tree with wide eyes and a jaw dropped. He looks back at Garth who is now grinning and then says" Hey Misprint close that mouth your drolling on my new tree". Misprint then closes his mouth and then says " I can't wait to learn to do that. When can I do that?" Garth Grins and says "that little trick took me 30 years to perfect. Now try to do what I told you to do it might pay off". Misprint Grins and says "okay I'll get it first try just you watch". Misprint Sits down in a meditative position And tries to clear his head but he just can't. but then he slowly calms down and starts to listen to the world around him but he could not feel the element. He gets up and looks at Garth and says "I can't tell if I know how to use it." Then Garth smiles and says "that was the longest I have ever seen you sit still you were there for four hours meditating. Let's try again tomorrow it takes weeks before you ready to make even a blade of grass". so they head back home to get a good nights rest
