Obscura went to work on one of his plans, practice his magic, there was plenty of stuff to practice, but he needed spaces where this could be easily done without destroying everything. So he decided to practice earth magic first, "If I make 4 camps where I can practice this in private, It'll be better for me." Obscura said to himself.
First one was fire. So he went to look for some sort of ravine. But couldn't find one. "I guess I'll have to make one." And he wished a ravine to be there and suddenly, an explosion of rocks and dirt happened nearby. Luckily no one seemed curious, wonder if explosions are normal here.
He used his magic to drill his way into the new ravine, and he lined the tunnel with gorse. After blasting more holes for him to live in, he placed some moss in one of these holes as a makeshift bed. He noticed how unstable the dens were so he summoned some large rocks forth which fixed it. And he placed some at the entrance as he noticed that he could use a rock above the entrance to his den to oversee the whole camp from one point.
He also planted some bushes around the edge of this camp, "There we go, that should keep randomly roaming animals from being incinerated." Obscura meowed to himself.
Now for water, well there is a river. He went to the river and followed it for a while and there was a perfect place for it, there was a small island where he could set up camp. "Better then nothing." Obscura swam over, and it was a great little island, although there was no bushes on it so he'd have to plant more bushes.
Actually, he'd plant hundreds of bushes as a dip in the land had barely any vegetation in it. So after a lot of work he had a place to practice water magic. He also surfaced a rock with a dip for water to flow to, it's deceptively deep.
After some painful moss gathering to make a small nest, he went on to make one for wind. He found a perfect place, a moor. Once again he had to plant many bushes, and he just blasted three dens and after more moss gathering he had a camp to practice wind magic.
Earth was last, he went over to a nearby marsh and using a similar process it was ready. He decided to work on his earth magic first, as he was right there. So he worked all day on that, it was a quiet day despite the cats that were there already not being the friendliest.
