Re: {Altamira} Zachary Leos' Training.
OoC: Hey Teach, you forgot to leave da assignment. >_> *Laughs*
The fencer looked down the hall and could hear very loud, quick footsteps moving towards himself. What in the world was moving so quickly and in such an angry sounding pace that followed this person. The Aura Master closed his eyes and looked at this person's aura, seeing a dark, shadow like energy emitting from her. An interesting power to control, especially for a human, but the fencer had seen it before. After all, Tsuukai Ita did call himself 'The Master of Shadows.'
However, this person wasn't like the dark fencer, was she? Well, from what Zorlo knew, or didn't know, was that she may be. He had never met her, and only heard scattered things from people she'd met. One of which, he wasn't too proud to say, were the few scandalous words that Kellson had handed her. Then again, who gave two thoughts about Kellson. From what the green haired man had heard, that guy was dead now. Come to think of it, the Aura Master would look into that later.
Anyway, as the fencer watched the on coming figure, that seemed to move closer and closer towards him, the monkeys, one by one, began to jump, seemingly in joy. Armond, the green haired man's most loyal helper monkey, pointed at the figure, assuring the fencer that this person that was approaching him was the person he was looking for.
Zorlo took a few steps away from her door, and the monkeys spread out. If she was looking to get into her room, he wouldn't want to get in her way. In fact, getting in a person's way when they were moving like that normally involved some kind of pain. Well, the fencer merely shrugged, he'd make sure he didn't incite any kind of fight here. He needed her to help him, not be his foe, right?
And as Zorlo and the swarm of monkeys around him waited for the woman with now visible black hair to get to where they were in hopes of speaking ot her, the monkeys kept jumping, making a light racket. They wanted to know what was going on. After all, Zorlo had promised to let them in on what was going on, even though Armond had some idea what the green haired man was thinking.

Zachary slowly opened his eyes, letting vision slowly return to normal. At first, everything was blurry and dull, but before long, the world of technicolor entered his eyes, and he found himself not where he had left. His eyes scanned around, taking in the even more awesome sight then the last thing he'd seen. It was getting more and more insane with each thing he was seeing today, it seemed.
He pressed his back, which stung like hell, against the wall and pressed his feet, pushing himself to his feet. His brown eyes took in all the colors, majesty and beauty that was... wherever the hell he had wound up in his adventures. It wasn't like this was the first time something insane like this had happened, and almost all of these events somehow involved Zorlo in them. Come to think of it, Zorlo was the beginning and end of almost all of his problems, and when Zorlo was dead, his life would be almost complete. Almost, being the key word. There was still someone else Leos had to help.
"Where the hell am I?" he groaned as he looked at each of the doors, noticing small tags above them with a label on them. Actually, that was only the first door he saw, because, in fact, each door had the tag that said where it was too somewhere else on it. Slowly, the red haired misfit began walking down the halls, looking from insane looking door to insane looking door. Where in the hell, am I? he asked himself with a quizzical look on his face.
Something about walking through a seemingly endless hall with endless doors lining it, each different, made the thought of this place somewhat more awesome then anywhere else the ice innate had been. Suddenly, the swordsman stopped and looked at a door. It was sky blue in color, and with a small inscription carved into it in a very flowing, cloud looking font. "Cloud Kingdom?" he asked himself, reading what the door said.
His eyebrow rose slightly more as he turned the door handled and the door swung open, the youth dangling by his toes, which were hanging on by the door frame, and the door handle, looking down at a room of nothing but sky and clouds. The youths eyes went wide as he used his free hand to pull himself upwards and shut the door, his heart beating so loud he thought it would attract some kind of animal or something. With a sigh of relief, he made note to not open doors here unless he was sure of what he'd find. It was just safer that way.
Needless to say, the ice innate looked over several doors, just walking past them idly as he continued on his trip. Eventually though, something caught his eye and, in this case, his stomach. It as the cafeteria. What luck! he thought as he looked at the double doors, each having the word cafeteria written across a golden strip on the doors. He grabbed the rather fancy door knob and let the doors open and peaked his head in. Seemed safe enough.
Then again, to any other person that had come to the Dome by choice for even a short period of time, they'd know damn well that things were not always what they seemed. Leos, unfortunately, had not come here on his own accord, and therefore wouldn't have any possible concept of what could happen, even if it seemed illogical. Well, he walked in, and found the place completely empty. "Where is everyone?" he asked himself as he began to look around at the buffet style set up that was the style of the day.
Unlike the eating quarters of the teachers and teachers assistants, this food quarter was much more free form and very different in set up, more like a school cafeteria then a dining hall, unlike the elegant restaurant part of the dining quarters that Zorlo enjoyed eating at. The ice innate quickly took up several large plates of food, after all, he hadn't eaten in a while, and moved to a table where he began to gorge himself.
Unbeknown to Zachary, a large figure was approaching him. A rather disgruntled ogre had meandered into the cafeteria and hadn't found anything that he was hungry for... yet. Then his eye caught sight of the ice innate, whom he slowly trudged towards. "Food," he said in the utter stupidity that was obvious about him as he rested his massive, wooden club over his shoulder.
Leos turned slowly and looked at the creature as it swung its club down. He had almost no time to respond, but a little was better then none, and he jumped out of the way as the table was smashed. After rolling a little bit, the ice innate drew his sword and grasped it tightly in his hands dodging another down swing from the giant and throwing an ice shard into its eye and then driving his sword through the beast's chest, freezing him from the inside. With a fast, and violent, jerk, the rune blade ripped itself free, along with a chunk of the ogre.
The blinded beast stumbled back and fell on his back, quite dead. Zachary smiled and cleaned his sword off and sheathed it. Boring. This place did have interesting creatures though. Even so, that didn't mean the ice innate could be defeated. He had to get stronger to defeat Zorlo, and he'd find it here, he guessed. He laughed and stood silently in the cafeteria, he had no where else to be. So, he merely headed off and grabbed another plate of food and sat down to eat. That'd keep him busy for a bit.
OoC: SOrry for the poor ending, I didn't really know where to take this post with Zachary, but there we go. ^_^
