Welcome to Gaia! ::

Urza watched as Alucard pointed out some letters asking for help. He was getting there, but still had a way to go before she was comfortable moving on. Urza thought about how to make some of the letters easier to understand, and an idea popped into her head. She took out her sword again and began drawing the alphabet phonetically in the western language. Hopefully this would provide a better bridge to connecting the two languages. Urza had a few more tricks in mind if Alucard didn't quite get it, but she hopped that by tying the two languages together by a common bond she had made it easy enough to understand.

Urza sighed, it was clear Alucard was uninterested in the subject matter. Perhaps she didn't have to start it off so simply. He knew a few words so must have known the basics at least. But still, Urza was sure this was the right approach. Urza wanted to make Alucard a successful communicator, and to do that she would have to teach at least some of the language. She wouldn't be able to teach terminology, and would have to ask Miyako for assistance there, but she could at least help him a bit. "I know it seems pointless," Urza looked down at the letters, "But it makes the everything else easier. How about we give it one more go, and than see where it leads us?" Urza was trying to be as calm and nice as she could, to provide a better learning environment. Once more Urza pointed to each letter and asked Alucard to say the sound.

Urza saw the frustration building in Alucard as he once more went silent after messing up the letters again. He seemed to be really struggling grasping the concept of the phonetics. Urza wished there was more she could do for him, but she could see in his eyes that he just needed time alone to think. "Don't worry about it to much," Urza gave Alucard a reassuring smile, "It took me a full week when I learned it, and your much brighter than me." Urza stood up and made her way over to the track. She couldn't be to worried about Alucard, he would manage. But while he did that Urza decided she would do some individual training.

Urza made her way over to the track to do some sprints. She wanted to become more dexterous and quicker in her armor. She figured if she did what she had done that morning she would quickly accomplish her goal. So Urza took a few moments to warm up and stretch before she decided to take on the training at full speed. Prepping her body Urza leaned forward, counting down in her head. She waited til she hit one and took off at a full sprint, she was soon stopped dead in her tracks as she hit a crack in the ground and tumbled to the floor. Urza brushed herself off standing up. It was sort of like the time she had gone running with Miyako.

Urza laughed as she remember when the two first really got a chance to train after hand seals. They both bonded over having two left feet. Urza couldn't help but laugh a bit she she thought back to that time. She had truly achieved
5 significant friends along her journey. Even if sometimes a couple of them bugged her a bit they still made for grand friends. Urza got ready to sprint again as her mind kept thinking back to moments through-out the day. Urza took off at full speed as she ran around the track. Completing a full lap in record time. I've gotten quite fast. Urza thought to herself with a smirk.

As Urza continued to run however she found herself stumbling and tripping more often than not, and found herself once more crashing into the ground. Urza stood up and brushed the dust off of herself thinking about what she could do to keep her from falling all the time. Urza came up with a mental plan that seemed perfect to her. She would watch her feet and every time there was a crack she would jump over it as to not risk catching her foot on the edge.

Urza put her new plan into action as she ran around the track, jumping and weaving over cracks and hole until at last she came across the crack she had tripped on earlier. Urza jumped over it but as she landed her foot found a small hole and Urza found herself laying on the ground once more. Man this is a pain. Urza thought to herself picking herself off the ground. She couldn't believe she was still having troubles running after all this time. Urza thought she had made significant progress to her dexterity and mobility, when truly, she hadn't made much of a difference at all.

Urza sighed getting read to start running again but before she had taken more than two pacing steps she found herself head over heels falling to the ground. Urza couldn't have had to more left feet if she had tried. Laughing a bit Urza pushed herself up and thought about what just happened. "Makers breath I should pay more attention." Urza chuckled as she looked back to where she had previously fell, not but two feet away. I need to be more careful when I run, Urza thought, though the fall hadn't dampened her spirit one bit.

Urza was flying through her paces now. Breaking one lap after another. She had gotten so quick that her arms now slowed her down when used. Urza watched as the track blazed by out of the corner of her eye. It was like the entire world was moving past in one quick motion. Urza loved this feeling. She felt quick enough to block any attack, and nimble enough to defend her friends when they called out for help. The young knight counted her steps. She was getting in about 10 for every inhale and 8 for every exhale. 18 steps in a breath, not a bad pace.

Urza now tasted victory and it was a dish best devoured by a glutton. The fire of determination burned hot in her belly and she was going to put forth every effort to come out ahead in this exercise. She pushed her speeds to their limit. Moving as fast as her legs could take her while being weighted down by her armor. Compared to how much she had been struggling earlier on Urza was now making very steady progress. Her lap times were getting shorter while the amount of consecutive laps completed kept going up. Urza had never performed so brilliantly before in training, and she wasn't going to stop now.

Urza felt exhilarated running into the next lap. Her adrenaline was high and Urza no longer even counted the time it took between laps. She had been consistently getting quicker and all she could do now was push herself. Push her body to explore the upper limits of her skill. While Urza was very proud of the progress she was making she couldn't rest on her lorals. She had to keep going and making herself better, because she knew that there were still those much to powerful for Urza to even think about defeating. And she hated that thought. Because to think that thought it meant that she had to admit that she wasn't strong enough to protect even herself. This circle of thinking added more fuel to Urza's fire which was already blazing as strong and the sun.

As Urza rounded the corner of another lap she began thinking about what she would do when she was done. If Alucard was up for it perhaps she would try again with the lesson, or maybe she would search out Miyako and see if she could teach Urza a thing or to about the ninja world. Urza was very curious about the puppets Miyako claimed she would one day use to best any foe in battle. Urza had always been pretty good with her hands, a trait that her father had passed down to her genetically she supposed, and she would have loved to lend her friend a helping hand in the construction of anything that would help her achieve her dream.

Urza rounded another lap. She hardly had time to think between them. She had not anticipated her to do this well, the preparation caused by the continued failure earlier had set her up for success in these later laps. Urza laughed feeling the wind push her face and whip her hair back. She then thought about Alucard. She knew Miyako wanted to be the greatest puppeteer The Maker had ever seen, and she knew that she herself wanted to be the divine shield to defend her people, but she knew little about Alucard. She knew he wanted to pass the academy. And that he liked toothpicks. But beyond that Urza had no clue what lurked behind his heart. She would have to inquire about it when she was teaching him later.

Urza was almost feeling like her old self again as she rounded the track at a jog. Her legs no longer hurt with each step, and though her breath was growing heavy, it was no longer riddled with the guilt of pain. Instead it was heavy with the achievement of hard work a perseverance. If Urza had learned one thing so far while she was in the land of ninja, it was that even if something seems impossible, so long as you work at it you can succeed. There is no such thing as impossible anymore. It was a word Urza would need to learn to forget. There was only things one could do, and thing one needed more work at, but nothing was out of her limits.

Urza broke into a dead sprint. That wasn't true either though was it... Everything had their limits. At some point Urza would break. Her body was not an eternal being. At some point she would die, Urza had no misconception about that. She knew when she had taken the oath to the light that everyone died. But, it was her job to make as much of an impact on the world as she could before her time ran up. She would show the world that she could shield it all from the hate and evil. Urza watched the ground, looking for cracks and hole that looked to take her down.

Urza's sprint continued through another lap. She dodged over every snag that looked to pull her to the ground. Motivation burned bright in her eyes. Even now as she ran she thought about all of the people she was doing this for. People she didn't even know, friends... Her father. Urza's steps were powerful, yet light. Touching the ground for no longer than they had to. Her speed was quite incredible given she was wearing at least half her weight in steel. Urza no longer even noticed the armor that encased her body. To her it was now an extension of her own skin. It weight was hers. Urza slowed down a bit as she noticed she was letting her guard down to much.

Urza's sprint crawled to a brisk run as Urza leaped over snags that would have caught her not moments before. It was a bit frustrating slowing down just to avoid simple things such as bits of earth that jutted up just enough that they could get their fingers around the foot of some unsuspecting runner. It felt like a waste of energy as she had to keep her run speed high while still maintaining control over the situation at hand. Urza soon cleared her way through the jutting earth and uneven terrain and found herself at a good straight away.

Urza kicked up the speed again. She had decided to double the amount of laps she would do now that she was in far better shape than she had been before. It may take more time to do, but Urza was sure she would be better off in the ended for her extra struggle. Besides, before Urza could learn to fight, she had to learn to run. She knew there would come a day when Urza would pick the path she would follow as a Knight. Her father had once briefly described what becoming a specialist entailed. It meant perfecting something that no one else would even dream of. But Urza alright knew what she wanted to perfect. She wanted to perfect her defense. She wanted to be a shield specialist. Urza's training continued. She was now fueled by the thoughts of her dreams and aspiration.

Urza pushed herself up off the ground and got ready to do another pacing lap. Her greatest success came after she had set herself up it seemed so she figured that was a good place again. Urza started off at a light jog looking out over the training grounds of Oto. She had a feeling she would be spending an extended period of time here and wanted to get a feel for locations the would be well suited for meditation and perhaps some reading when it came down to it. It was a beautiful place to train, she had to admit. It almost gave off an air of calm collected peace. That would be nice when Urza started working on less physical tasks.

Urzas jog quickly turned into a sprint as she felt need to pick up the pace. Alucard would no doubt be wanting to being work on his speech again, perhaps Miyako would be willing to help if Urza saw her around. But Urza still had a few laps to go before she wanted to start thinking on other training. She would try and complete these laps before she went to check on Alucard. Urza watched her legs to make sure there weren't in danger of getting twisted up and an eye on the track to make sure she could avoid any obstruction in the way that would cause her to trip up and fall.

Speak of the Devil, and the Devil shall find you. Urza thought to herself she ran along the track and saw a raise in the track and tried her best to avoid it. Unfortunately for she that involved slowing down to process the correct course of action before applying it. So Urza reluctantly slowed down before leaping over the crack. What she hadn't noticed was the divot on the other side of the crack, and her foot slipped as it found its was into the divot. Urza rolled forward and popped back up to continue running. She would have to remember that move for later, it may come in handy, it didn't apply to much pain to her body and she kept her momentum pretty well.

Urza broke out into a sprint again as she fully stabilized herself on her run. She thought back to herself just that morning and was very pleased. She had done almost double the amount of laps and hadn't had to stop once yet. Her stamina and speed and significantly increased, and better yet even after all her falls and tumbles she still felt like she had only gone through about half her energy. If Urza kept the pace where it was at and kept a cool mind she would be done in no time at all. She just had to keep pushing away until she eventually found success.

Urza found small success at the end of her latest lap. It hadn't been anything spectacular, but it was impressive enough that Urza could chalk it up to a success. Urza had cleared the hurdle that had tripped her up not two laps before. She saw the crack and jumped it and immediately remembered the divot. She once more performed the roll but this time with no pain and maximum momentum conservation. It was a good trick to have because unlike the other two who would be able to jump farther and flip or whatever do to their lighter bodies Urza would have to make sure that every movement she made counted so that she could keep up.

Urza was unfortunately unable to keep up her speed for another lap and had slowed down to a walk to catch her breath. It was such a pain as she felt like she could have gone all the way through if she had just pushed her body a bit more, but at the same time, perhaps playing it safe was the better idea for now. After all she didn't want to injure herself to much when she only had a little ways to go. So Urza decided she would walk a lap, catch her breath, than if her body was up for it, sprint like she had never sprinted before and complete her task. Urza gave a smile to the sky, man was she pumped. Her determination seemed to grow with each exercise she conquered.

Grumbling softly Alucard kept trying to read the letters. To no avail Alucard was getting no were fast. He kept watching Urza run around as he was surprised that she could run easily in her armor. 'Wonder what it is like to train in armor like that to keep the body under force all the time.' Alucard thought as he went on with what he was doing thinking of a time when he tried on a suit of armor when he was younger. Alucard had received quite the lashing from that endeavor. Alucard kept watching in amazement as he wanted to try it again once. Hoping no one else would bother with it Alucard waited for her to finish As Alucard watched Urza he kept being amazed at what someone could do in armor.When Urza had finished and asked Alucard if he wanted to get back to the training. Alucard only shook his head. "its to frustrating." Alucard said a bit jumbled up as he was sitting there a bit frustrated. "I wants strength, more of it" Alucard said to Urza as he smiled softly. After saying that Alucard started to take his shirt and coat off, and fold them so that the clothes wouldnt restrict him. Having only limited clothes did not help Alucard so he liked to try and keep things clean and neat and not destroy them. After getting his shirt and coat off he looked at Urza. "Can strength train?" Alucard asked in a question as he wanted to strength train with Urza.

(all these bad rolls and not a sign of relief, ima quit the cha training.till later)
