Welcome to Gaia! ::

She smiled and looked at him while turning back around. She wanted to have some fun and also wanted a challenge.

"Well, I am sorry that this trek through the forest seems to have taken a bit longer than I had origonaly ment it too. The manor is just over there. Is there anything in particular you would liek to do to... kill some time as it where?" Shadow said, He couldn't shake the feelign that he was boring her a little and his not paying attention to the path didn't help that much.

Shadow laughed, now things where in his field of expertise. "I spent well over 300 years fighting a war, this was long before guns came to be. You could say that I am something of an expert. I can teach you if you wish" Shadow said, glad that he might be of use once more other than just opening door and scaring off trouble makers.

"When ever you are ready to be taught. We have many differant weapons sitting around the mansion or would you prefer to use your daggers?" Shadow said as he slowed his pace. "I must also tell you that I am a bit of a tough teacher when it comes to combat."

"It would be easier for you too see for yourself rather than have me try and explain it." Shadow said as he stopped walking. "So, when do you think you'll be ready to start?" he aske das he took a quick look around to find out if he was in the spot he thought he was.

"Good, first I just have to see what your natuaral rythem is like and how well you already know how to use those daggers of yours." Shadow said with a grin He had no weapon on him other than his side arm that he would not use during training. "You might want to brace yourself, Maxine. This is were things start to get a little odd." Shadow said. Shortly after speaking he lifted his right hand and clicked his fingers, the sound echoed out through the forest and was responded to by the sound of mass groaning. "Necromancy comes in very handy for training purposes." His grin widen for a moment as a few of his more freshly dead servants wandered over. "Or would you prefer it if I went a little easier on you and started with some techniques?"

"Of course you can. I will teach you to fight in a style that is best suited during a massive battle, using every natural advantage you have is part of that. Once I have seen how well you handle yourself, I will decide if I should up the dificulty or focus more on one on one training." Shadow said as he sent his minions forward. "Oh, by the way. They won't through any soft hits. They might be unarmed but they still hurt."

Shadow flipped away to dodge the on comming remains of his already dead servants. He was impressed by Maxines abilities and saw much promise but it seemed that her skill with blades and general awreness would need to be worked on. "Very good Maxine very good." Shadow clapped. This forest was littred with the dead, most from the fairly recent battle that was fought here. Shadow would use it to his full advantage durign this training session. He called up several more of the freshly dead, these ones rose up behind Maxine.
