"It wouldn't really be a Dojo without a soul-crushingly large set of stairs.."
[b]Ninja sighs and begins ascending up it[/b]

"No shit! I bet most people quit before they make It up the steps l!" As the two walked up, and as the deity spoke, ninja spotted a dried up skeleton on the side of the steps, covered in a thin layer of snow. Only proving the deity's point....
-
"Sheesh.. Death by stairs.. not the best way to go.." [b]Ninja inspects the body for a moment, then continues the trek[/b]

The two made their way up the frosty steps towards the gate. The red walls were glossy in the eve and the snow gave them a cold look. Suddenly, it seems as if part of the wall moves....
-
[b]Ninja observes quietly, watching the entrance reveal itself[/b]
-
Out of the wall, the large samurai stood. The snow covered on his armour. "Sensei Ninja?!" "Oh man! A boy and his dog reunited!"
-
[b]Ninja's eyes light up upon hearing the voice of the old gatekeeper[/b] "Is that who I think it is?!" [b]Ninja begins running up to greet him[/b]

Tesuto walked forward, keeping his stature as he stood by the gate. But he suddenly popped his blade ever so slightly from its sheathe, as a warning. "How do I know you are the real ninja...?" "Really Red? You are doing this?!" "Two weeks ago a man identical of that to the Phoenix entered this dojo. I must be for certain this is Ninja...." [i]"Sounds like unnecessary tension to me..."[/i]

"It's alright. I can prove it's me." [b]Ninja closes his eyes, and begins focusing. Moments later, embers begin to spark around his hand, and fire begins climbing up his arm, as a sword made of flames begins to form in front of him, leaving singe-marks on his hand. Upon opening his eyes, however, something seemed off. His expression was different, having a crazed look about it, appearing almost as if he had snapped completely. This was not a normal effect of the ability. As the flames dispersed, however, he had returned to normal. [/b]

The deity looks at Ninja for a moment. So does Tesuto. "Edgy man...." Tesuto slipped his blade back into its sheathe. Bowing to ninja. "Welcome back sensei ninja."
