Heaven Vs. Hell: Salvation[LOCKED]

The Burning Shadow

Kestral was disappointed, he had hoped that Takehitsu would have been able to instill some level of power from the silver energy. He felt that it had been somewhat of a wasted effort. He would not have the alliance he sought, he would not have the powerful asset he sought, he would not even have all of his silver energy. A great weight had found its place in Kestral's heart, he was, for the first time he could recall, filled with sorrow.

Despite this, he maintained his cool, collected and cold expression. He felt it demoralizing for a warrior to show his inner weakness, he felt it necessary to hide any drastic emotions.

"While it pains me to hear that my efforts to make you an even more adept warrior were in vain, I will have to come to terms with it. I also respect any pacts you have made that keep you from making alliances with me. I do hope that if ever you change your mind, that you will consider my offer. I also will hope that, though we are not truly allies, we will not engage in combat unless it is for sport rather than slaughter. Since we are connected, I feel that it would be quite senseless to do so anyway, for when one of us falls, the other must fall as well." said Kestral. While he was finding it easier for him to function mentally, he was actually draining himself physically.

As soon as he tried to follow Takehitsu, he found that his legs would not obey him. They trembled and he fell hard on his face, only throwing his arms forward to steady his fall. He was perfectly conscious, but in essence, he had become temporarily paralyzed.

At first Takehitsu smiled but when Kestral fell face first into the ground Takehitsu turned back. "I can probably find a method of extracting and using the silver energy as a weapon mechanicly." He stated as he hobbled back to Kestral. He ended up on the dirt next to Kestral with another poppoing placement of his ribs. Kestral could probably hear this one much better than the others and truly understand the pain Takehitsu had recieved Not that it mattered. When that wave was over Takehitsu strained and held Kestral up with one arm and in the other put most of the weight in the staff/walking stick. Takehitsu pushed them in the direction of his area slowly falling every now and then to a more painful and louder popping noise. By the time they would arrive his last rib would be fixed and his body would have no more broken bones.
