2. • The sky was vastly grey in that it was raining slightly with seemingly wonderful ease. A waterfall
could be seen in the center of the clearing, bright white water falling from the edge of the Cliffside in a
plume of almost a misty material. The land itself was rich with plants of all kind, making this large
crater of land an actual bounty of life. Sounds of the birds could be heard even past the sounds of the
steady rainfall pattering down on the land below the skies. Not even the snapping of the twigs under
one’s feet could be heard at a walking pace, though the sound was of course still there. The rain itself
gave off a sweet aroma as it mixed with the scent of the flowers and the different trees and bushes,
giving off a scent of all the aromas mixed together perfectly in their own way, causing one to possibly
smile at it. The clouds themselves seemed to flow against the mountains around the clearing,
caressing the land with its soft haze.

3. • The light red hues of the male’s eyes scanned the land before him, his lungs expanding to their
fullest as he took in the oxygen around him into his body, the very nature of the oxygen
changing into carbon dioxide as he expelled the air after his use of it was finished, only to
replaced by the same action over and over once more. His face was hidden by a cat-shaped
white mask with green markings painted on either side into a spiraling pattern, being the most
noticeable part of his attire. The second to catch one’s eye would of course be the bright white
cloak that covered most of his body, down to about his ankles in length, having a long slit in
the middle of the back from the bottom to about the waist line so he could walk freely in it.
The cloak was sleeveless however, showing both of his arms fully up to his shoulders, revealing
a black tattoo on his right arm in a shape of a spiraling set of circles intertwining with one
another, forming a synergistic bond with each other circle it came into contact with. The cloak
itself was also unzipped, thus allowing for the under clothing to be seen which was a set of
light grey sweats and a loose grey matching t-shirt, though under each set of clothing a thin
line of chainmail rested to help better protect himself from weak attacks. Over his grey t-shirt
however was a brown tight fitted vest with many pockets all around it, filled with various
weapons and devices for unknown uses. He had fine black hair which was tied up behind his
mask in a small “ponytail” style which went down to his shoulders in length and weaved
slightly to the side in the soft breeze which was blowing at the high altitude he was at.

4. • The rain poured lightly upon the female’s ringlets that
rested against her waist. She was covered by a long
purple kimono with slits around her hips; which of
course, she wore black shorts underneath. Around her
torso, were two spaces that revealed her shoulders
and long sleeves that nearly covered her gloves that
matched her shorts. The outfit was completed by a
samisen strapped to her back, with traditional
Japanese sandals. She had a rather pale complexion
which stood out slightly against her short brown hair
yet strangely, she had matching light red eyes to the
first character described. Her face was also uncovered
and completely revealed, though she was holding a
traditional Japanese umbrella to shield her from the
worst of the rain. She was also traveling with another
whom was walking behind her, One whom she trusted
with her life and never went anywhere without.
Someone whom she loved dearly and often saw as a

5. • The lids which protected this male’s eyes when times were needed were
closed as he walked, hiding the hard black hues of his own eyes. His right
hand resting on a sheathed blade which was held to his waist by a black
cotton sash wrapped around it. His skin was slightly darker in tone then
the female’s as he spent much more time in the outside world then she.
He wore a pure white kimono that was folded together neatly and
complete. He had slightly longer and cropped brown hair which was
ruffled slightly as the way his hair grew gave it a wavy sort of attitude. He
walked a good 3 full paces behind the female, though his role here was to
follow and protect her if needed. It was in fact his life’s duty as he had
done so since the day she was born. He watched the girl grow up into the
young woman she was now and often helped her on the road of her own
life.

6. • T 2 from below were traveling at a rather fast pace, as they wanted to get to
he
their destination as fast as possible, and that meant they had to travel through this
large stretch of land. T female needed to be led to the safety of the kingdom for
he
she was far too important and had much information that the kingdom needed.
H owever, the male on top of the waterfall, was in fact a family member, her
brother at that, and his goal was to take her far from this petty world. As such the
masked male closed his eyes and brought his index finger to his lips, his body
slowly began to deteriorate into a black mist. T masked male than slowly began
he
to materialize in front of the pair, the male in the white kimono slowly stepping
forward in front of the female, his eyes still closed. However, moments later his
eyes slowly opened as he looked upon the masked male in front of them with a
look of sadness. H knew who the masked male really was and he knew exactly
e
why the boy had come. H slowly drew his blade from its sheathe however and
e
the blackness of his eyes hardened as he prepared.
The guardian The masked man.
Who will make the first move?

7. • The masked male slowly lowered into a crouch, suddenly lunging forward, and thus the battle
ensued. The speed at which the masked man was moving was incredible, his legs becoming
almost a blur as he dashed forward. However the guardian was not put in his position without
reason. The masked man may have had natural talent on his side, but the guardian had years
of experience, far outmatching the masked man’s. As such the guardian remained calm as he
too dashed forward, meeting the masked man head on, pulling his blade back slightly, only to
swing it forward in a crescent moon arch motion towards the masked male.
The guardian The masked man
Who will win?

8. • It was the guardian himself who made the first move. Giving the masked man no time to put any plan
he may have had into motion. As he dashed forward he brought his pulling his blade back slightly,
only to swing it forward in a crescent moon arch motion towards the masked male. It was strange
however as the masked male just stood there with a calm and collected posture. The guardian’s face
went hard as he approached the masked man with great speeds, unable to defer his attack because
of the full force he put into it, thus no matter how hard he tried he would not be able to stop his
attack.
The guardian The masked man
Who will win?

9. • It seemed as though it would be an easy win for the guardian as the masked man had no visible weapons in his hands
themselves. However, this was because the masked man himself was a weapon in its own right. This was proven by
the movement of the masked man’s hand towards the blade, an open palm striking the sharp edge of the blade. A loud
“clank” rang throughout the area as the guardian’s eyes widened, noticing that the blade rested in the now closed
palm of the masked man. Then within a matter of mere seconds the masked man was already in motion, an open palm
being sent straight for the chest of the guardian, just 2 inches to the left of the center of the ribcage. The masked
man’s speed was incredible, nearly inhuman. This gave the guardian little time to react and as the palm moved
towards what was clearly his heart, the only thing he could do was to let go of his blade completely and jump back.
• The masked man raised an eyebrow slightly from under his mask and snapped the cold steel under his hand, yet the
guardian remained ever so calm, taking a deep breath and sighing as if saying “I didn’t want to do this.” and slowly
brought his hands together, touching his open palms together. He then closed his eyes and slowly began to pull his
hands apart, however with the new gap being formed from pulling his palms apart a black line could be seen following
his palms as he pulled his arms all the way out to the side. The black line slowly began to shift and take a shape of a
single black blade that seemed to be constantly shifting like that of a black flame. As the guardian lowered his arms,
the black blade sat in the air, floating with seemingly wonderful ease. The guardian grasped the black hilt of the new
blade and then lowered his hand. The strange part was that the original blade stayed in its current location, and the
hand that gripped the hilt was actually pulling a second blade from the first, identical to the first. He then did the same
with his other hand and the original blade then slowly raised up over the guardian’s head and to his back, resting just
above his shoulders in a horizontal position.
• Even from behind the mask of the masked man, his light red eyes could be seen to visibly widen in surprise. It was
clear that this guardian was none other then the legendary shadow wielder Ryuu. But the guardian Ryuu gave the
masked man no time to think about this as he suddenly dashed forward once more, bringing both arms up and down
in a double slash vertically on either side of the male’s shoulders. The masked man quickly brought up his hands to
block the blades but they seemed to just pass through his body, going through his arms and down his chest. Ryuu
quickly then sliced outwards on either side, the shadow blades slashing horizontally out from the masked man’s chest
on either side.
• No damage could be physically seen at all, but the masked man’s eyes were wide with surprise and pain. To the
normal eye it looked as though the shadow blades simply passed through the masked man’s body without cutting a
single part of the man. This was untrue however as the purpose of these blades were not to damage the body, but to
damage the soul. The blades themselves targeted the souls of only those who were truly evil. The souls of the
demons.
• The masked man fell to his knees, clenching his chest and breathing hard. He glared up at Ryuu, cursing the shadow
wielder and vowing he would return to exact his vengeance. His body then slowly began to disintegrate away into
black ash. Ryuu’s blades slowly disappeared as well, knowing this was just the beginning. The female was safe for
now however and he turned to her with a nod and the 2 ventured towards their destination once more.

themselves. However, this was because the masked man himself was a weapon in its own right. This was proven by

head and to his back, resting just above his shoulders in a horizontal position.
• The masked man knew exactly who this guardian really was and came fully prepared. A pair of black feathered wings
seemed to morph from his back and outreach into great lengths, unfolding wide and then flapping down hard. Then
within a matter of mere seconds the masked man was already in motion, an open palm being sent straight for the
chest of the guardian, just 2 inches to the left of the center of the ribcage. The masked man’s speed was incredible,
nearly inhuman. The guardian had no time to react to the speed and his surprise from the block and the masked man’s
open palm struck the guardian hard. It was like a semi slamming into you at full speed yet so condensed into such a
small area which was directly over the heart. The guardian’s eyes went wide once more and he felt his knees give out,
falling to them. He clutched his chest with his free hand and his face wrinkled up in pain but then slowly softened as
his heart slowed from the shock of the blow and finally stopped. The light in the guardian’s eyes slowly faded as he
fell to the floor below.
• The rain pelted his limp body and one could clearly tell that he was no longer amongst the living. It was with a heavy
heart and fear in her eyes that the female watched quietly, her own tears mixing with the rain which now fell upon her
face as her grip seemed to no longer be able to hold the umbrella. She fell to her knees and cried out for her guardian,
whom had protected her throughout her life, only to be so easily disposed of. The masked man gave this no thought
nor any time for her to dwell on her grief as he quickly strode over to the female and grasped her by the neck, lifting
her up high as the pair of black feathered wings unfolded wide and then flapped down hard once more, causing both
the masked man and the female to disappear high into the air, the female crying out once more, her cries quickly
drown out by the sound of thunder booming in the distance.
