Welcome to Gaia! ::

Karthin put the food he grabbed before leaving in an old shirt and put it on the ground. He took off his shirt as he started to go through his Tai-Chi exercises. He used the time to both get his body used to constant movement, and to clear his head. After an hour of this type of exercise and with his mind sufficiently cleared he drew two lines in the sand. They were roughly fifty yards apart. He took a deep breath, and readied himself. He spent the next two hours running between the two lines back and forth he rushed between them as quickly as he could. When he was done with this exercise he was drenched in sweat and practically gasping for breath. He decided to take a break and eat the food he had grabbed earlier that morning. After his rest he started working out with the normal pushups, situps, and squats. He had to keep his body toned so that his abilities never faltered. As the sun started setting he thought it would be a good time to train with his katana. He went through about forty five minutes of kata's that his style demanded before working on different techniques that could benefit him. As the sky darkened he wiped the sweat from his brow. He donned his flying boots once more before putting his shirt back on. He flew to the closest bath house and cleaned himself up before heading to his room for the night.

Karthin hesitated in front of Angela's room for a few seconds. He debated on going in there and trying to talk to her, but decided that he better give her some space. He had a lot of things to think about himself. He sighed before making his way to his room. He closed the door and locked it. He ran his fingers through his hair and plopped down on his bed. He lied face down on the pillow. Thoughts of everything that has happened to him lately running through his mind. He shook his head before closing his eyes and trying to fall asleep.

Karthin had spent his week trying to get Angela off of his mind. He would throw his body and mind into training. There were a few days where he went by without returning until the next morning. He was running his body ragged, and he knew he had to find a way to calm the storm in his mind and soul. He sat on his bed writing out a letter to the queen of the elves. He ranted and raved about everything he had done that could be taken in a bad way. He desperately sought out answers that could help him mend the rift between himself and Angela. His body was riddled with scars from the times he let his mind wander during training. He decided that after he sent the letter he would sleep for the next couple of days. 'If my body lets me get any sleep.' He thought to himself. He finished his letter and got up from the bed and left his room. He walked down the hall and gave the letter to a falcon he used to speak with the queen. He let it go and sighed heavily. "There has got to be some way to make things right." He said to himself. He then walked slowly towards his room. He stopped in front of Angela's room again debating whether he should knock on the door and try to talk to her.

Karthin gasped slightly. He stood there speechless for a few seconds. He coughed into his hand and straightened up. "Oh uh...good evening Angela." He stammered out. "How has your week been? I hope you've been well." He said nervously. He looked around everywhere avoiding her eyes. He didn't know if he would be able to talk straight if he looked into her eyes after so long.

Karthin glanced up at her for a moment when she mentioned feelings. "Feelings?" He asked her softly. He took a step closer to her.
He was unsure of what his body was doing as he was not in control of his actions. "If I'm being honest with myself I too have feelings for you Angela.
I've been trying to figure out what these feelings are or how I'm supposed to live with them." He told her. "Maybe we can figure all of this out together. If you want." He added nervously.

Karthin gritted his teeth and threw the scroll on the ground. He rushed out of the room and went to grab his stuff. He changed quickly and donned his weapon. "I will not let these monsters destroy my home."
He seethed quietly. He quickly pulled on his boots and joined the Valkyrie.
"These bastards won't live through this battle." He told all of the Valkyrie near him. The anger he was feeling was radiating off of him.

Karthin nodded as Angela spoke to him. He was slient the entire flight back to his home. Mentally preparing himself for the struggle ahead.
When they arrived at dawn the scene they were shown shocked him. The rage in his heart burst to the surface almost instantly. He quickly landed and rushed the orcs from behind. He had gained a confidence in his abilities that he never knew he could possess. He slayed many orcs before they even knew he was there and then he rushed back to regroup with the valkyries. The rational part of his mind finally breaking through the anger told him to calm down. He took a deep breath and started analyzing the situation.
