Re: A Spot of Training (Zorolo)
I wonder what's taking Armond so long? He normally does what he needs to do in a short time. It's been nearly a day, and I've had naught to do since he left. Well, I must be patient, the fencer thought to himself as he sat in meditation. His aura remained quiet and calm. He felt his powers shifting about, the anxiousness becoming a bit of an annoyance, but not really anything else.
A strong wind blew through the forest, and the fencer opened his eyes enough to see that something was going on. His guest had finally arrived. "Took a little while longer then I assumed, but whatever, he's here now," the Aura Master whispered as he rose and placed Sapphire upon his belt, behind Apollo. The green haired man willed his room into a jungle, a fitting place to train intensely, and felt the rush of the temperate heat come forwards. A relaxing heat, really, that allowed the fencer to fully feel alive.
For the Aura Master, the time to train intensely came with every real battle, so he hoped this would be one of those real battles. They were, as he noted again, few and far between. And it had been a short while since the green haired man had survived the encounters of Chinatown.
The circumstances behind that were entirely different though. This time, something different was afoot. The fencer closed his eyes and allowed his Spectral Sight to guide him to where Mesfido had entered into his chamber. The swirl of seven different elements flowed freely around the fallen angel, and made the fencer smile. Although the Aura Master had not seem Mesfido's aura prior to his change, the green haired man could tell this power was new.
"I sense a great peace, similar to my own, has entered my chamber. A calmness of mind and body. Not something you see very often, eh?" the fencer asked Armond, who now stood next to him. "Gave him the slip, did you?" The albino monkey nodded and scurried off. That meant it was time to get to work.
The fencer leapt from the perch he had taken and jumped from branch to branch, moving at great speed near where the angel was. After all, it wasn't a very courteous thing to do, keeping your guest waiting. This kind of guest may be dangerous, but not at this moment. After all, he had only just arrived, and it wasn't like the Master of the Seven Elements had made any kind of dangerous movements yet. The training hadn't yet begun.
The trip took a few minutes, but by the time the fencer arrived at his destination, it seemed to be entirely worth it. The green haired man skidded to a stop in front of the massive angel and peered up, smiling as normal. "Greetings, and welcome to my home. I'm sure you recall me, but I am Zorlo, the Fencer of Tasogare, and Aura Master, and it has been a long time, Mesfido. I briefly recall meeting you before that thing with the Encorna's daughter. It is good to see you again."
The fencer paused, allowing the fallen angel to take in what he said, before deciding to continue his thought. "I'm sure you have many questions, since you've been gone a very long time, so I shall answer them for you, if I am able. I'm sure you have a great many questions about who has replaced Kenjin, what has become of Kenjin, and countless other Dome related questions."
"Also, I am aware I am speaking like a teacher right now, but I know how it feels to return here after having been gone so long and so much is changed. I am simply trying to help. When you are content with my knowledge of what is going on, we can begin. So, please, ask away," the fencer said in an absolutely relaxed and cheery voice, smiling up to the giant figure before him. After all, unlike Kenjin's presence, Mesfido's was much more relaxed and not nearly as overwhelming. Anyway, it wasn't like before extreme training couldn't have some questioning. After all, since meeting Kenjin, the fencer now understood a good deal about what in the world had happened, even if it was only limited to his observations.
