((sorry for my abscence. A certain network, for privacy's sake we will call them fish network, is being a biotch of royal proportions))
Raki seems near ecstatic at the results of his training. He runs over to Aiya, near babbling, "Hey Aiya did you see that! That was increadible, imagine what I'll be able to do later!" Clare shows up and Raki remains amped up but he seems to change mood nearly instantly to mad at himself, "Did I forget to cook for you again? Sorry Clare, let me do that for you."

Warren unsheathed his blade, slowly moving around in a circle away from Thorn, prowling like a lion before it springs to attack.
"Remember, boy, you forced me to do this," he yelled out to the others," if I lose control, please get him and yourselves to safety... it will take me a bit to regain my sanity if things get out of hand."
Warren crouched down with his blade poised above him in a direct battle stance, staring at the human with no longer a mocking grin, but a face of utmost seriousness.
"You want a fight?" he yelled out, "You've got one!"
The glyphs appeared on his forehead and on his blade as they began to glow fiercely, his eyes turning golden and fearsome.
With a mighty shout, he swung his blade at the ground, cleaving the earth for several feet towards his opponent as he began to charge in the wake of the dust.

Aiya paid no mind to Raki as he fawned over Clare. But at Warren's change she stood tense and her blade half unsheathed. She feared this may happen. She was ready to help Thorn if she must. Even thought she knew Clare was more capable.

"i shall show you my true skills that ive discarded up until now" Thorn turns his back to warren as he comes rushing at him. "the one thing i despise the most is being underestimated!!!!" he pauses for a few secounds "i now understand why the powers of my sword have stoped working......the sword believes i am not worthy of its powers that i am not skilled enough......but with this fight i will proth my worth that i do not rely i pure abilities no more!!!!!!" theirs a loud sound of metal colliding on metal as thorn parries warrens attack and swings his sword around to counterattack

'How dull, two men fueling their testosterone by fighting, when discretion would be best. No wonder they stopped creating male Claymore.'
Smiling at Raki, Clare turned down his attempts to make food and continued cooking the small creatures that had been found.
This battling was making her angry, and before long her eyes began to glow a deep gold, and her hands began to shake. Catching herself, Clare let the task of cooking calm her down and relax her. Knowing her Yoki had returned to normal, Clare made a point of ignoring the words and slashes, as long as they kept clear of the fire. She sent out her awareness to the two figures as they parried.

Thorn's overpowered swing flew high above Warren's crouching form as he dove into a roll and swung with his offhand, driving his fist into Thorn's jaw in a blazing uppercut that sent him staggering backwards.
The human quickly recovered and dodged Warren's incoming swing that dug deep into the ground as he spun about again bringing "Roseblood" to bear.
Another slash of Warren's blade found the mystic sword of his opponent blocking its path and discovered himself in a weapon lock, his golden eyes in all their unbridled Claymore fury meeting the human's glare.

Raki tried to conceal how happy he became as Clare actually smiled at him. He asks, virtually oblivious to everything else around him, "Oh OK. If you want to that's no problem. Hey did you see what Warren showed me? That was pretty cool wasn't it?"

"i will not give up i will win!!!" the glow suddenly returns to the blade but instead of being blue, pink or white it is a dark red and instead of a normal glow it looks as if the sword is covered in flames. with the new power he launches warren back several feet and then dashes at him ready to make a fatal blow. But instead of hitting warren thorn sudden stops sword just an inch away from warrens face. Thorns eyes suddenly change to a dark red as he stands there in the same position as if in a trace.
(hes basicaly having like a dream sorta so thats whats going to be happening next just for a little clarification)
Thorns vision goes dark and when the darkness went away he was for some reason in a different place "whats going on here???" after a while of looking around he notices that he was standing in the house he grew up in "what am i doing here?" he started to walk around the house but suddenly he froze up as he entered the living room and saw his mother and him as a little kid. "but.....whats.....it cant be" suddenly their was a knock at the door. knowing what it was he goes and tries to stop his mom from answering the door only to find that some invisable force was holding him back. "no dont answer the door dont youll be killed!!!!!!" he sadly realizes that she couldnt hear him. "no i cant go through this again not again" he tries to close his eyes but for some reason couldnt. his mother opens the door and then theres the screach of the yoma as it kills his mom "noooooooo!!!!!!!!!" the invisable force releases him and he falls to the ground screaming
back at the battle field thorn suddenly drops to the ground screaming the blazing glow of the sword had grown bigger for some reason.

Warren hadn't anticipated the burst of strength that came from Thorn when it did. The blade had arrived uncomfortably close to him and he feared he would have to unleash his full fury in order to escape the attack, thus risking further insanity. Thankfully, however, Thorn suddenly collapsed and dropped his sword.
He had won, inadvertently through Thorn's unusual forfeit, but he let it go at that, the gold fading from his eyes as he moves to the screaming human to ensure his safety.
"Thorn, calm down, I'm unsure what's gotten into you, but you fought well," Warren grasped his shoulder, "Regain control of your thoughts, focus on my voice. "

even though what everyone else see's is thorn sitting on the ground screaming he acually is still in the 'dream' world.
thorn goes through the horror of seeing his parents die over and over again and each and every time he cant do anything about it "no this.....this can't be happening" he closed his eyes after seeing his parents death for the 20th time and when he opens them he finds him standing in front of a mirror "wha.....whats going on here??" he stands their staring at his reflecting sudden his reflection started moving even though he wasnt "what in...." his reflection starts talking "your a weakling and always will be!" thorn stared in horror as his reflection started to talk. "you have always been weak.....you always realied on the powers of the sword and never used your accualy abilities making you WEAK!!!" thorn tried to block out the noise of his reflections talking "no it isnt true it isnt true i....im not weak" his reflection started to laugh "you are and always will be a tiny little weakling you couldnt even take out the beast that killed your parents with out the help of claymores" thorn knowing that it was the truth still denies it "no no!!!! i could of taken it out by my self!!!" the reflection snickers "ha you couldnt even handle that male claymore he has true power heck even that raki kid is more powerful then you" thorn falls to his knees almost giving up. "i.....im not weak....." his reflection laughes again "ha ha ha ha you are weak look at you now sitting on your knees you little weakling" thorn just sat their quietly not responding. the memorys of his past flashing through his mind of all he had accomplished. After a while he stands up. "so what are you going to do huh? weakling?? you just going to go home and cry to your momy? oh wait you dont have one, because shes dead!!!!" his reflection started laughing evily. "your wrong!!!!!" thorn sword suddenly appears in his hands "I do admit i was weak in the past but from now on i will not let anything or anyone stop me ecspecialy you!!!!" with that he thrust his sword into the mirror shattering it and the dream world to pieces
suddenly the red glow of thorns sword disapears and instead is now glowing blue like normal and thorn is not screaming any longer.

Raki looks over at Thorn and Warren, he was worried but he thought it best not to interfere at the moment. He looks back at Clare, hoping his training with Warren could finally get some kind, any kind, of recognition from her.

((OK........UM.........sure.))
Clare watched with little attention to the suspended man, or when he fell screaming. He was too confident, too reliant on the sword, it causing his pain might humble him, but that was doubtful.
Standing from her position she walked towards the clearing, seeing the fire disappear, she glanced at Thorn's prone body then continued to the forest. She needed some roots and mushrooms to flavor the food.
Tomorrow they would be in the village. Then they were off to the tounament, though she hadn't informed them of this yet.

Raki stands there for a while, completely motionless, he mumbles to himself, "She didn't even... even say anything. She... doesn't care about me, nobody does." He trudges over and sits down across the fire from Aiya, not saying or paying attention to anything or anyone. he grabs a stick and mindlessly draws patterns in the dirt.

Thorn grabs his sword and stands out "ugh my aching head" he looks at his sword seeing that it is once again glowing its normal blue. suddenly flashes of his 'dream' appear before his eyes. "i truely am weak if i only realied on the powers of this sword" he mumbled to himself "i....i apologize for my sudden burst of.....anger" He stares down at his sword "i now understand what you ment by i should learn from my blade and myself.......and i believe that thats what happened when i was sitting on the ground screaming.....at the time i was having a kind of, 'dream' it tought me a few things that i have discarded about myself and my swordsmanship skills...." the glow from thorns sword disapears "i would like to challange you again not out of anger but to be tought once again what it truely means to be a swordsman, the power of this sword.....the red glow that is brought out the worst of me......but in a way it helped to make me relize that i shouldnt use just pure abilities or else i will get no where in life" he turns towards warren "so if you will i would like to do battle"

"Hmph. I'll take you up on that some other time. If we were to continue, you would likely fall prey to your own sword again, and I to my own inner demons. Get some rest. You humans actually require the removal of fatigue. For now, just sleep and think more on how to not be a slave of your weapon, make it serve you."
Warren left Thorn's side and walked back to the campfire, thrusting his sword into the ground and then lying down compacting his limbs beside it.
