Nice warm soft rays of sunlight shines through the trees, flowing onto the ground, a gentle breeze swirls around you. It warm you, swirling around like an everlasting piece of soft music. The forest is alive with song, the song of the woods, making its way around, you feel in you vibrating through you. Shadows of the sunlight flow through the branches, shake and dance with a beauty you have never seen before, flickering in the corner of your eyes. You ignore them, for doubt turns you away from the path to happiness in these woods. You concentrate on the soft, pale green grass underneath you swirling around your toes , swaying it the breeze. You get up and follow small and shallow stream, winding its way through the woods. You are walking, Walking with no thought, just walking , without any doubt that its it the right place , the place where you are supposed to be , the place where you have been since the beginning of time and yet all this seems new to you as if you have never been here before. You have been walking for an eternity, time has never existed. Your feet are sore from all those days yet now, is feels as if the happiness in the trees as taken away all your pain. Now you are light , happy and joyful. Yet you go down a path and you know, that you are getting closer to somewhere where you have been wanting to go to for your whole life. Around a small yet immensely beautiful rose bush you turn. Through half-closed eyes, you jerk your head up, defying the will to sleep. And you stop. A chirp escapes you, resonating through your body, warming you. Up ahead, its beautiful. The land has opened to a grove with wet, pebbly land, shimmering in the light of the sun going through the tree branches. The river gets smaller and flows onward. The land is covered with grass and plants someplace you just feel that that is the place you want to be, THE GREAT CAMP OF THE GROUNDCLAN CHICKENS Ahhhh the paradise, the joy you feel when you are there, and you enter and just stay, stay in the wonderful place where is exceeds all your joys and imaginations
A Blue hen walks up to you and says "Hello and Welcome to Groundclan!"
Guide:
Common sense. ALL BYC guidelines and rules apply.
- Use your head, and if you must, your eyes as well.
- Use your common sense and respect.
- Inactivity. Please participate, and have fun at it too. Chickens inactive for a period of more than a month will be deleted, unless a valid reason shows otherwise. And please do not join and then never come back again. It's disheartening and quite difficult to manage.
- Practicality. Be realistic. A chicken cannot run into a bunch of foxes an come out unhurt. An apprentice cannot have a mate, a chick cannot defeat a senior warrior and a chicken cannot magically come back to life unless the one who controls the charactor that killed the chicken is okay with that.
-Medicine chickens may have a mate, but no chicks.
