Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Alright, then since you haven't fought before, I will refrain from using my abilities with Air. Now, on your guard!" Skiiy rushes forward at the man, flying straight at him, the practice sword held at his side with both hands, but as he is about to reach Alex, he leaps into the air, flipping over him, and landing lithely on the other side. Using the momentum from the jump, he spins into a crouch and brings the sword around to swing at Alex's legs from the left side(your left).

*Skiiy watches as his blade makes contact, then rolls to the left as the opponents sword comes down at his shoulder. However, as he rolls, his boot makes contact with the practice sword and throws him off balance. He might have been able to disarm his opponent with a strong enough kick had he been wearing proper metal boots, but if his opponent had been using a real blade, he could have been disabled the rest of the fight. He lands in a heap off to the left side of the field. "Well, that wasn't too bright, guess I haven't fully gotten used to this body, I haven't fought enough with it." He stands up and brushes himself off, then makes a straight-line run for the dark side of the field, where it is extremely difficult to see opponents, hoping that his opponent would be foolish enough to follow him in.*

*Skiiy had agreed not to use his Air powers, but his close relationship to Air allows him to feel its movement, and he can feel Alex moving around in the dark. He jumps in the direction Alex is in, head first, turning over onto his back and stretching both arms, the sword in his right hand. He hits the ground and slides straight for Alex in an attempt to trip him when he can't see Skiiy.*

"It probably wasn't, but these are the kind of things you have to get used to. Your opponent isn't going to fight the way you want him to. He's going to use every advantage he can get over you. Even with that affecting you, you must prevail." Skiiy stands up and walks back out into the light. He places the practice sword back into a barrel, then turns to Alex. "Look, I have to go take care of some stuff. Sorry I had to cut off our spar so short, maybe we'll have a longer one next time. Until then, maybe you could find someone else to fight. I believe Kederaji went into town, but he doesn't seem very new to battle. He wouldn't be an easy sparring partner, but he may be able to teach you a thing or two. I velieve Kakashi is down there too, though I'm not sure, and I think that he is new to this, so maybe he'd be a better opponent." Skiiy returns to his room in the Warder's quarters and begins reading through papers, doing busywork sort of stuff.

Kederaji looked at Kakashi and grunted. "You should be more careful about things like that. Where I come from, approaching a man you don't know at night is a good way to die young. Be glad that we are from the tower." Kederaji fell silent and turned his attention back to watching his surroundings, having said his piece.

Jade's blood was now a large pool, her life was fading away. Soon, she saw a light in the distance. Am I dreaming? Am I alive? The light gave her faith, and she traveled towards it as best as she could.

"Mo....mo...ther.." She murmured while laying in the pool of blood..her green eyes shining beautifully, her breath now light and fading. Jade looked..peaceful. "Pa..pa..." As she let out her last breath, her lips curled up into a happy smile, a child's smile.

Jade was gone.

((Jade is dead, as she was always meant to die. I am sorry. It is simply beacuse I couldn't save her from dying as she was laying there for about a month. I don't know if I should begin a new character because most of the characters I've played have slowly died out. When I'm ready, I'll come back and RP again.))

((apologizes about what? Oh, and ya, bye for now 2wish, I would've come help, had I but known about you, either IC or OOC, and if my character had healing powers of any type.))
