Welcome to Gaia! ::

====☢☠☢====
₳thena didn't think she would be back here but it felt fitting to train here in her main style. She sat on the stairs on the monastery and began to read to see what she needed to do in order to get started with the second stage of her Gene-X. She wanted to get stronger so she didn't get looked down upon like most of her childhood in the church she grew up in.
(1/7)
She learned that this time the moves in this stage also costed her pints of blood as well as ki usage. She sighed not liking this fact at all. She was going to be like some kid who cut themselves to feel good because they were depressed. Wait she was like that but not depressed. She had a feeling she was going to have to review her anatomy once again just to make sure.
(2/7)
Athena turned the book to the circulation chart and started to memorize it once again. She pulled out a pen and started to mark the areas on her hands and arms to represent safe spots to cut. She didn't want to make herself bleed to death if she cut the wrong spot. That would be just plain stupid of her.
(3/7)

She looked at her blade and sighed as she gently pressed the tip into her palm. She then dragged it and a thin cut would appear from the blade. She watched as her blood would drip onto the stairs of the monastery. It would run for a moment and then spread out in the grooves in the stonework. She sighed loudly the voices of her childhood taunting her. She was going to get stronger and prove herself.

She then closed her eyes and focused on her ki. She then slowly opened her eyes to find red ki swirling down her arm. She gently willed it to go towards her palm but she was slightly having a hard time because she was thinking about different things.She then shook her head and went to focus on the task before her.
(5/7)
Once the ki was focused on her palm she started to form the blood into shapes. She was trying to get it to obey to her ki but it was not cooperating. She growled lowly getting pissed at herself even more. She focused on making something simple like a triangle. She took a deep breath and the ki swirled around her blood and it started to float up a little bit and started to form into a triangle. She grinned at the fact she was getting it. She almost had it down.
(6/7)

She then wanted to make something complicated. She was going to make a rose out of blood. She closed her eyes and an image of a rose entered her mind and wiggled her fingers in excitement. She opened her eyes and started to will the blood to form a rose. It was slow but slowly it started to make shape of the flower with the petals all different. Then the stem and thorns were easy to make. She then closed her hand once it was done and the blood fell onto the stairs. Now she was ready to learn the moves.

STAGE TWO BLOODY RAZOR LEARNED
(-3 post due to learned bloody razor)
====☢.☠☢====

"They say my family descended from Dracula."

====☢☠☢====
₳thena turned the page with her foot so she didn't get blood all over the book she was borrowing. She read: User soaks their blood into their hair to create a long whip that can be controlled by will. This delightful technique was called Hair of the Martyr . She did not like the fact she was going to have to soak her hair in blood so she cut her other palm as well with her sword. This was not going to be fun.
(1/2)
She ran her bleeding hands through her thick black hair to try to cover it in it. It took a bit of cutting and re-cutting the same spots. Once her hair is covered she focused her ki into her hair and she whipped her head forward and a long whip of blood from her hair lashed out towards the cemetery. She then did it once again to get the hang of it.

"They say my family descended from Dracula."

₳thena then turned back the book to see what else she had yet to learn. She had a feeling it was something else. She then found it: Same thing as Blood Bullet, but the added Ki lets the bullet be capable of ricocheting off of hard surfaces until it hits an opponent. Can be very unpredictable and difficult to dodge. Power remains at original D-rank. . She grimaced at the fact that this was pretty much Blood bullet. She almost blew Hunter's legs off when she learned this. She had a bad feeling about this.
(1/4)
She looked down at her blood covered hands and sighed with relief not having to cut herself again for now. She focused on her ki which she sometimes had problems with it. Her ki started to condense the blood on her right hand into a ball. She walked into the monastery for this one. She needed something for it to bounce off of.
(2/4)
Athena raised her right hand and aimed at the wall from and angle. She focused her ki behind it to shoot it like a cannon. She started to push it out when nothing happened. She growled and shook her arm in frustration. She wanted this done and now.
(3/4)

She as she shook her arm one last time the bullet flew out of her hand. It bounced off the wall in front of her and came flying back at her. Her eyes widened as she dropped herself to the floor with a yelp. She then heard some glass break once the blood bullet made contact with something. Well at least she did it even though she broke something."oh s**t that was close."
