  "S"Kiranu { Novice | Citizen } Yuran~ The small cat on Azrael's shoulder jumped forward once the man was done walking, morphing back to his human form in midair, and doing a flip and twist, landing in a bow facing Azrael. "Tada!" He exclaimed, straitening out again. Crouching down over the sack, the boy poked at it a couple times, before pulling a scroll out and unfurling it, looking at the writing curiously. For a few seconds the boy stared at it, twisting it this way and that, looking at it from different angles as his tongue peeked from his mouth in concentration. Finally, once he had the thing upside down and backwards, the boy gave up, frowning a bit as he looked at Azrael. "Do the squiggly lines mean something?" He could tell the man was deep into his own scroll, so they must mean something, but he couldn't make any sense of it. ~ [Energy: 550/550][Speed: 11]

Azrael rolled his scroll up and chuckled before taking the scroll from S. "Yes indeed S. These are techniques for.." He checked quickly. "Hmm. Novice level techniques for Tricksters. Good find. Tell me S, do you want me to train you?"  ....the Shadowknights have risen on wings of despair.

"S"Kiranu { Novice | Citizen } Yuran~ S cocked his head to the side at that. There was that word again, training. Well, training seemed to be a good thing, since the creepy old guy had shown him how to work his claws better, and the weird girl had... Well, she'd just had him run around, but it was fun! Grinning at Shiny, S nodded happily. "Yeah!" What was next? Maybe he'd learn to fly, or turn into a giant cat instead of a little one, and be able to eat entire houses! How would a house taste anyways? Would it be dry and bland, or really tasty? Probably depended on what kind of house you ate too. Maybe he should ask Shiny later. Shiny was big enough to eat houses, right? ~ [Energy: 550/550][Speed: 11]

"Alright then S, I'm going to say the names of a few techniques, and I want you to tell me if you can do them ok? There's Dash, or maybe Air Split?" He tilted one blood red eye to the feline human as he began turning over his own technique in his mind. The technique would be useful if he ever didn't have Retribution on him - it was a spell that forcibly rearranged a summoned skeleton into a greatsword, one that he could empower with his Unholy Shroud. (1/4) ....the Shadowknights have risen on wings of despair. ((Both of those techniques are C rank for ya Hinote. Rather, either will take you eight posts.))

Now though, he would have to put what he had figured out into practice. The technique required that he summon a skeleton, which he did with practiced ease, slamming one palm against the ground. From the depths of the earth rose a larger skeleton, that of an adult male. He nodded to it after a moment, a dark light beginning to collect around his hands. (2/4) Azrael spat out a chain of arcane words that made the ground around him tremble in agony. Dark magic was being wrought in the air above it, and that magic twisted nature. The skeleton that the Shadowknight had summoned stood bolt upright for a second, then shattered apart, the pieces floating in the air. (3/4) Piece by piece the bones began flying back together, building a hilt that rested just above the former paladin's hand, then a crossguard. Then came the spine that formed the base of the blade, with the ribs forming spikes along that base which gave it a terrifying appearance. The skull slammed onto the end of the hilt. "Yes..." (4/4) ....the Shadowknights have risen on wings of despair.

Think far out, but Im' still locked ιи…” xxxxHer steps were slow and measured as Cassandra Ariadne made her way into the Floating Gardens, though they were not literally floating. A small smile formed on her lips as she approached the younger boy, S, and her Shadowknight, seemingly hard at work training. She stopped several meters away and observed them silently, admiring Azrael's infinite patience with his erratic brother and sister. The young Kiranu's boundless energy was making her tired by merely looking at him as she stepped forward and touched her fingertips to Azrael's arm.
xxxx”Merry meet." Her voice had once again dropped to a whisper, preserving the peaceful serenity that enveloped the almost holy-feeling place. She slipped her hand into that of her Shadowknight, towering over her as he taught the young Novice, and interlaced their fingers. Her wide blue eyes regarded him silently and she smiled, though the gesture was more bittersweet than sad. "Can I take up a moment of your time when you have one to spare? I wish to speak with you." Her simple request was shy as her face flushed a bit. “…I'м still lost, walking circles. The floor swallowed me up; there's nowhere to Gσ..."

"S"Kiranu { Novice | Citizen } Yuran~ S cocked his head to one side and then the other. Dash sounded boring, but he had a sneaking suspicion it would be useful, while Air Split sounded incredibly interesting, while he had not a clue what it meant. Watching Azrael's skeletal act was interesting, and when it was over, S opened his mouth to speak. "I don't know those, how do I-" Was all he got out when the girl from earlier showed up, making him frown imperceptibly at her instant action of embrace. He didn't like this girl. It looked like she was trying to steal his Shiny away, like he was her possession or something. ~ [Energy: 550/550][Speed: 11]

Azrael smiled at her, though with his helmet on there was no way she would be able to see that. "Certainly, one moment." He knelt down, his cloak billowing as he put his eyes on level with S's. He was making sure that he had the child's full attention as he explained the techniques. "When you are trying to Dash, you need to focus energy into your legs. For a brief instant as you run, this added energy will greatly enhance how you move. That will translate to you disappearing and reappearing somewhere else, faster than anyone else can even see. But S, when you use this technique, you have to make sure that you are careful, because you can only move in straight lines, and while you're moving that fast, you can only see what is right in front of your eyes." He took a breath as he considered how to explain the second technique. "Now then, as for the Air Trick. This is similar to Dash, in that you have to focus your power to your legs. But instead of running, you jump. You must pick a target, and if you do it correctly, Air Trick will allow you to vanish and appear in the air above them. Do you understand my friend?" ....the Shadowknights have risen on wings of despair.

Think far out, but Im' still locked ιи…” xxxxCassandra sat on an outcropping of rock and watched Azrael and S silently for several long moments, studying the enormous Shadowknight and the Kiranu before him with a hard stare. She frowned and pursed her lips as she noted the fact that Azrael once again had his helmet on. Holding out her hand to Azrael, she gently patted the stone surface next to her, eyes full of unanswered questions.
xxxx”I'd like to tell you a little about my past, and I'd like to know about yours." Cass' shy murmur was like thunder in the quiet of the pristine glass-encased world. The ethereal beauty of the place has her eyes wandering to rove over the glacial landscape as she spoke. This place seemed so otherworldly, away from the cold mountains of Yuran. “…I'м still lost, walking circles. The floor swallowed me up; there's nowhere to Gσ..."

Azrael stood up and rubbed S's head behind his ears, then moved over to Cassandra. He held out his arms to the young woman, indicating that he would carry her somewhere slightly more private so that they could talk in peace. He resolved right then to learn earth techniques - why? So he could build a damn house. He was growing tired of being a wanderer. ....the Shadowknights have risen on wings of despair.

Think far out, but Im' still locked ιи…” xxxxStanding and brushing off the back of her dress with a gently touch that made the hem ripple and sway, Cassandra stretched and looked at Azrael, offering him her hand. She was a big girl. She didn't need to be carried. She simply wished to have several private alone moments with her Shadowknight was all. She slid her hand into his and tugged, pulling Azrael along gently with her as she moved away from S, out of earshot to even the Kiranu's sensitive ears. Her hand was small and warm in his as she carefully pulled him along.
xxxx”I can't seem to figure you out. I want to know about you. I want to understand you." She murmured the words as she sat once again, perching herself on a larger rock. She looked into the crimson eyes of her Shadowknight curiously, azure eyes boring into the scarlet. She saw him, had seen the real him, and wasn't afraid. She wanted to know who he was inside, too. “…I'м still lost, walking circles. The floor swallowed me up; there's nowhere to Gσ..."

Azrael sighed after settling his back against the rock that she was sitting on, resting himself on the ground. For a long moment he was silent as he tried to figure out what it was about this Succubus that called to him more than any other person that he had seen. Then he turned his helmet to her so that she could see his eyes. "Ask and I will answer. That is all I can offer, since as a private person I never was in the habit of expounding upon myself at great lengths. At least, not without alcohol in my system." He chuckled at that, remembering late night ramblings with Katsuro. ....the Shadowknights have risen on wings of despair.

Think far out, but Im' still locked ιи…” xxxxCassandra bit down on her bottom lip as she sat, unmoving, and pondered Azrael's counter. She tinted her head slightly to see him better and stared, noting a significant difference in her Shadowknight's appearance.Once she registered the difference, she knew exactly what it was that her first question would be. She cleared her throat shyly, directing her gaze to the hands that she folded carefully in her lap as she spoke.
xxxx”Your helmet is on." The words tumbled from Cassandra as a shy mumble as she turned her face away from the Shadownknight so he wouldn't see the flaming red color of her cheeks. Curiosity had her peeking over at Azrael once again and her breath caught. The image of him, sitting peacefully in the floating Gardens, wasn't necessarily beautiful, so to say, but it was, for lack of a more eloquent phrasing, completely masculine. Her eyes widened slightly at the sight of him as she allowed her statement to hang in the air. “…I'м still lost, walking circles. The floor swallowed me up; there's nowhere to Gσ..."

Azrael chuckled slightly and reached his hands up, slowly pulling his helmet off. When it was off, he set it down beside him, then shifted and pulled the Paladin's Lament and Retribution off and laid them beside the helmet, then stacked the helmet on top of the weapons. He ran the fingers of one gauntleted hand through his hair then turned a crimson eye to Cassandra. "I must ask Cassandra, what is it about my hideous appearance that makes you want to see it so much?" His words were completely honest - from another person they might be self-deprecating, but to him they were simply a statement of fact. His face was a patchwork of scars because of the scales that should be there, though his lips were still untouched save for a single scar that cut across the right corner. He raised one non-existent eyebrow at her. "And after you've answered, ask me what it is you want to know." ....the Shadowknights have risen on wings of despair.

Think far out, but Im' still locked ιи…” xxxxThe Succubus merely shrugged and looked away at Azrael's question. She simply couldn't think of an answer to his question, and that bothered her. She enjoyed seeing his face, that much was a fact. The question was why did she like seeing his face? Not a single acceptable answer floated through her mind. She sighed in frustration and ran a hand through her crimson hair, allowing the hand to drop back into her lap. She could always just lie, but that would only make things more complicated.
xxxx”I don't know. I don't know, but I do enjoy seeing your face..." The words came slowly through her lips as she pulled her thoughts together. She wasn't lying, which surprised her because she normally would have lied her way out of a situation like this, which begged the question: why wasn't she lying? She didn't know, and if there was one thing that Cass hated, it was not knowing something that intrigued her. She was quickly becoming irritated and that would need to be remedied. “…I'м still lost, walking circles. The floor swallowed me up; there's nowhere to Gσ..."
