Dojo

[Sheena Wilder]

[enters]

[she hasn't trained in a while]

[changes into workout clothes and starts stretching slowly]

[eventually begins her attacks on the dummies--following the same pattern, trying to beat her own times]

[Sheena Wilder]

[after an hour, stops]

[stands there, stretching, slowing her breathing]

[decides to try something new]

[she fashions some targets to hang from the ceiling, and using small stones from outside, begins testing her accuracy with the stones at different distances]

[stones = seals]

[depending on how the target moved--if at all, she would know how she did]

[Sheena Wilder]

[stops after a while to give herself a break....]

[she hadn't trained like this for a while]

[slows down her breathing again, and starts combining the moves]

[Sheena Wilder]

[stops again...bringing her body down....]

[showers and changes back into her regular clothes and leaves]

[Raven]

[enters dojo]

Le's see what this heart c'n do..

[gets one of those dummy things on a stick {{like the one in the start of abyss}} from the closet, and places it in the middle of the dojo]

[moves to the corner of the area, taking out his bow]

[aims, then shoots the dummy on the knee, then both arms, attacking fast]

[runs to the dummy, then casts serpent on it then steps back quickly]

[the area under the dummy glows, the colllor reddish orange, before it explodes]

[the dummy in the air due to the explosion, Raven runs to the side , casting dark chase while running]

[several arrows hit the dummy, pushing it further up]

[stops running, then casts wind blade]

[after some short seconds, the wind blade hits the dummy while it's still up in the air]

[runs to under the dummy, casting another serpent there, before moving a bit back, then casting azure heavens]

[many arrows hit the dummy, sticking to it, the weight causing it to fall down fast]

[the dummy lands on the serpent, and upon contact, the 'seal' explodes under the dummy]

[the dummy lands on the ground, knock out!]

[raven, smiling, puts his bow down]

Not bad fer an old man..

[he approaches the dummy, then puts it back up in place]

[places his bow to the side, then takes out his secondary weapon; his dagger]

[pauses for awhile, then starts slashing the dummy, leaving cuts on it]

[Jade Curtiss]

[leans on the doorway, watching]

[Raven]

[senses someone there]

[puts the dagger down, then looks]

Oh..Jade

Well what brings you here?

[Jade Curtiss]

I was walking around and heard you in here.

How's the training going?

[Raven]

Pretty good.

Y'did a good job with this thing

[pats his own chest,referrin ta his heart]

[Jade Curtiss]

You're welcome.

[looks at the dummies that are in pieces]

[debates fixing them]

[no...he's done it too many times already]

[looks at Raven]

I prefer practicing with a person.

[Raven]

[smirk, Schwann time]

I see that as some sort of challenge

[Jade Curtiss]

[pushes his glasses up]

Perhaps...

[Raven]

Name the place, and rules.

[sword...?maybe? hmm..]

[Jade Curtiss]

How about the training grounds...

Anything goes?

[Raven]

Alright.

[picks up his bow, then walks to jade]

Shall we, then?
