Welcome to Gaia! ::

Zasz nods at her lightly...
"you are correct, the grass is greener on your side to me, as my eternal life is what you want, but we dont always get what we want, everything is given to us for a reason...and someday we will find out our purpose, i just have more time to do it..." he begins to squirm around, his eyes wincing in slight pain, as if his back hurts, his eyes change to red then back to green again...then to yellow and back to green...he calms down slowly, still wiggling slightly...he looks at her and smiles...
"you know, this is the most i have spoke in years"

he laughs slightly...
"No, not you, they are just cramped in there...i think i will let them out now.." he winks slightly at her and shakes his head...he leans forward as slight bulges appear in his back...the shirt begins to stretch out eventually tearing, then his skin breaks, blood pours down his back, he winces in pain as black feathered wings slowly slide from the center of his back, as they reach there full size of fourteen foot across he pushes them straight back, they shake violently, blood dripping from them....he pants heavily....
"there, much better...." he looks at her and smiles..."the benifits of being a half demon..."

After eating a whole apple. She cuts the rest up a little more, and places them into small containers.
She then places 3 more apples on the stool. And repeats her pervious attack. 4 seconds. Too slow. Her opponant could see it. Although she had shaved a second from her last training session, it was not enough.
Hanging her head. She could smell blood. She would ignore it for the time being. But that ment she couldn't stay too long.

Ananda stared at him in amazement. "Wow!" She shivered a little, wiping away a splatter of blood that had fallen on her arm. "I can see how that might be a little uncomfortable, yeah." She looked at the wings from end to end, smiling a little. "I'm not sure that's what I'd call a benefit, though. I'd think it'd be a little...uh...awkward." She shrugged. "But, since I've never had wings myself, I guess I wouldn't really know." She looked him in the eye, still smiling, and asked, shyly, "Can you...actually fly with them?"

"No," she said wistfully, "I haven't ever flown. The closest I've ever come is falling, and that's just not quite the same, no matter how far you fall from. But," she said with a shrug, "it's still exciting, at least until you hit the ground. That part I could do without, but I've never managed to fall and miss the ground," she laughed. She was remembering a time when she was little, and her oldest brother had convinced her if she jumped from high enough she could fly...and she had believed him.

"Well, nothing's perfect," Ananda sighed, shruging. Then, with a sigh, she stood up slowly. "I think I've been sitting here too long, I'm starting to get stiff, and I didn't stretch after my workout. I need to get up and move around." She smiled at him. "If you want to come with me, it's fine, but you don't have to." She began to walk towards the door, stopping a few feet away to strech her arms out, and turned around to look at him questioningly. I should probably go find Rille, she thought guiltily, if he decides not to come, but I think he'd scare her if I brought him with me.

Once inside the room, she began practicing basic things like different ways to hold the sword and different stances she could do on own. Then she began working to place the sword in different one and two handed defense positions, moving around a little more as she did so. After about fifteen minutes she began doing thrust and piercing movements, then to slashing. Eventually she built up enough to combos, placing multiple moves together. Attacks, defenses, anything she could think of to put in without getting very flexible she put into her combinations.
