"It is ours to teach, but only to those who we seem worthy to take up our place in the Order." "The power is this tome holds is great, but it is not the greatest." *Stabilis closes the book, his gaze shifting between the shades* "There is a time for shields and a time for swords; now is the time for shields. If you will listen, I will tell you of a man who held the greatest power." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It occurs to you that this might be a test in and of itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long before the orokin empire, earth was in a state of tyranny. A monster of a person held prisoners, tormenting them daily, but forcing them to live. One man defied the monster, and spread hope. He was sentenced to die a public death, but when the hammer was brought upon his back, his bones did not break. He was struck again, and still he held. The monster, growing angry, struck his face. He remained solid. Then the man was struck utop his head. The stories say that the hammer broke, and that the man rose and stood against the beasts of humanity. He had ended a tyrant's riegn without a single blow. Wether you believe this story or not is up to you; I know it to be true. I would love to say I am this man, but it is not so. I can, however, strive to hold his determination, his will to stand and let others strike him without profit. This is the greatest of all powers: to never back down, and to never give in, even when you are going through hell." *Stabilis sighs, his shoulders relaxing* "If your power is not of determination, if it is of the sword, then I want no part in it. You make claims if your own benefit, but I seek this knowledge myself. I will continue to travel after I have learned it."

We're still going out for some bloody fun, so I'm booting up the blood lickers." Alice replied, clapping her hands for the command to initiate. From the back rooms, a couple of MOAs with different (and blood splattered) animal costumes, taking position in different parts of the establishment as guards. "These cuties will take care of any death wishing clowns, so you can go now sweetie." After that, she walked back down into the dungeon to get her toys. The Ospreys do all the cooking now while she's gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After a while, Alice go out of the restaurant ready to tango with a dinosaur. Dual Zoren with the dagger axe variation, the Stalker's prized throwing knives, Despair, and the Drakgoon grineer flak cannon. On her hips hanged a variety of items. A couple of spay cans, crayon case, some universal red pen, and a finger nail file. Speaking of nails, she seems to have sharpened them, and taken a bath as well. Even a perfume... well, if the exotic smell of albino skate blood is a perfume, it does smell relatively good though. One could think she's going out for a dance night, not rip someone's head off. But the full Mirage frame and weapons might give it away. With no time to waste, she floated off to meet Sai'ah in the forest, at the place she told her about. A grin carved up behind her helmet.

Sai'ah meditates in her Nemesis form, surrounded by strange creatures. ((Look up Dark sector's Stalkers.)) One of them lunges at you, only to recoil as if chastised. Sai'ah looks up. "One moment." She says. "I just need to double check." She seems to confer with herself and then nods. You feel something touch your mind. Through it you can sense Sai'ah, and an army of minds, some with nearly human thought patterns. All feel feral. "Beta." You hear Sai'ah say, indicating you. The Hunters look at you and bow. All save one. It's body is covered with scars. It chitters a challenge and scurries towards you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
