*Maya appears with a [i]whump[/i] on to a building's roof in the center of the Dojo.*
[b]I am looking for a member who has recently discovered his ability to access the power of the Shadow Realm. I'm taking him on as my trainee. My shadow recruit.[/b]
[spoiler]open for Royal Blade[/spoiler]
English
-
[b]I pivot around and give you a hook to the jaw[/b]
-
*I take it, then full on tackle you*
-
[b]I collapse to the ground and my knife fall by my side. You fall on top of me.[/b]
-
*I grab the knife and put it in my pocket* What do you do now?
-
[b]I hook you in the side.[/b]
-
*I wince a little* *I slam you like I am John Cena (yeah, yeah, BUM BUDUM BUMMMM and all that) and take that knife out of my pocket*
-
[spoiler]https://www.bungie.net/en/Clan/Post/819710/203861257/0/0/1 continue here if you would. [/spoiler]
-
[b]As you reach into your pocket you realize it's not there.[/b] "Looking for this?" [b]i grin as i stab you in the side repeatedly.[/b]
-
*Maya appears from seemingly nowhere, unbeknownst to you from lack of knowledge, it's a Shadow hiding technique,* [b]Hmmm. Stop. That will be all. Mortar. What say you to his fighting techniques? As well as his attitude during the fight?[/b] *She folds her hands in front of her and stares at the two*
-
*I dissolve into the stand and reform in front of you* His fighting technique is just throwing it all out. He thinks, just little.
-
[b]And Master Mortar. Do you believe you will be able to help him with that? Or is he untrainable?[/b] *Maya asks calmly. Not once looking at Blade during her question*
-
Definitely trainable. He has potential, I'll give him that
-
[b]Very well. I'll take him for his next training. After that will you be so kind as to teach him more specifically? [/b] [spoiler]'after that' as in now or later. Haha[/spoiler]
-
Okay. Any suggestions?
-
[b]Hmmm. How about constraint. He seemed a little... Eager. Fighting all out without a thought to later in the fight[/b]
-
I did notice that...
-
"That's all? Very well"
-
*Maya waves her hand into a shadow at her feet. She opens a dark shadowy portal like tear in the air. Within you can see the familiar Shadow Realm.* [b]Shadow Recruit. Do you know the method of opening up an access point? Show me[/b] [spoiler]remember what i said before. It requires a 2D, normal, plain shadow lying on a surface. Place your hand in it and will it to connect to the Shadow Realm.[/spoiler]
-
[b]I pull some shadows from in between my toes. I throw it onto the ground like a pancake and touch it. The portal opens and closes for a second before working [/b] "Like that?"
-
*Shadow Master Maya seems speechless. A few moments pass before she speaks again. While doing so she reaches out to the access point lying on the ground. She reaches her hand within, confirming it is in fact the Shadow Realm. * [b]That was probably the oddest way I've seen an access point created. But it works.. I'm gonna suggest that maybe instead of being forcible with it. You just consciously allow it to open mid air above the cast shadows where you dip your hand into. Like this.[/b] *Maya wills her current access point away as well as yours. She walks behind you and rests her hands behind you in the air. Hovering a few feet above the shadow that is cast behind you from the sunlight. You peek your head around to watch. She flutters her fingers in the air and you seem to notice the air shimmers. Time seems to slow down as you focus on the shimmer. Red and black tendrils of gooey shadows peel out from a few miniscule cracks in the air. The tendrils whip around before latching onto the tiny shimmer seemingly floating just out of reach of Maya's fingertips. The tendrils begin to enlargen and drag the cracks with them as they enlargen the shimmer to a five foot oval like shape. Within the oval (circumferenced by the gooey tendrils still. As if they hold it open) is an entire different dimension staring back at you* [b]Go ahead. Try again Blade. You may continue to be forceful with the Shadows or you may treat them as a friend who needs a bit of guidance. Think of the Shadows as a relationship. Trust them and they'll trust you. [/b]
-
[b]I use the shadows as you did. Creating a large portal on the ground there seems to be a dark purple tendrils grabbing onto the sides. The tendrils tear open the portal and the shadow realm is seen it flickers, then returns to a stable state.[/b]
-
[spoiler]is this standing up or laying down on the ground? I've just been having mine standing up for ease while on the ground. But I make them parallel when say I want to fall out of the sky[/spoiler] *Maya inspects the portal. She fingers the edges. Pulling at the tendrils. Checking to see how stable it is. She reaches in and summons out some of the smoky shadows residing in the other dimension. She plays with it a bit and returns it hence.* [b]Hmmm. Fantastic. Took majority of Shadow Recruits weeks what it took you just two tries. Now. I want you to open up another access point. While leaving this one open as well. Once you see them stabilized. Begin opening another while consecutively keeping the previous in check. Let's see how many you can open. I personally can open 53. Took me years to get past 28.[/b]
-
[spoiler]It's on the ground. [/spoiler] "Yes shadow master." [b]I search for any shadows I can find. I create a portal out of a wall shadow, a tree's shadow, a flowers shadow, etc. Once I hit 15 I can't do anymore. Each of them are stable [/b] "Ugh. There we go that's it shadow master."
-
[b] Incredible. I apologize but you'll be compared to the shadow recruits I know often. You have just made ten more than they could. Keep them open. Jump into one. Come out in the farthest one away. And then back forth keep doing that until you have gone through every portal you have open. Once you've ended up in the center. I have a trick I'm gonna teach you. [/b]
-
"Thank you shadow master." [b]I start jumping through the portals, after nearly 10 and half minutes I wind up in the center. [/b]
