Courtyard (South)

[Shadow_Phoenix_Blade]

Lena glanced around as they arrived at the courtyard. She took in a deep breath of fresh air. SHe was in the mood to play. A smirk crossed her lips. No one ever realized when upon meeting her that her version of playing was fighting. Big bloody fights. She glanced around. "Hmmm. I wonder who's here?"  

[Kimihiro_Watanuki]

He looked at Lena with a somewhat intigued expression across his face. He knew that her idea of fun wouldn't be what normal people thought was fine and he knew that his own was fairly the same as her's. Staying close, he looked around, aking to note each face he saw.

He wondered what the next couple hours would be like.  

[Shadow_Phoenix_Blade]

Lena paused by a few people but continued on. They seemed nothing more than children really. They all talked big but half the time they didn't know what they were talking about. Lena beside a young sorceror and a few lycans. She smirked and walked up. "Whats the occasion boys?" A few of the lycans leered at her. The sorcorer merely smirked. "None of your business gril." Lena smirked wider. "Oh? Is it because it is a child's problem." This instantly set them off. The jumped at her at the same time. Lena laughed softly and rammed into one, takking him down on the ground. What's wrong boy, I'm too old for you?"

Now something fun was happening. The thing that interested him the most is the creatures that stood before himself. They seemed to attack without discrimination because before Taern knew it, one was right in front of him.

He set a strong stance quickly, with his right fist at his hip and his left hand, outstretched in front of him. The beast blindly charged and he caught it by digging the fingers of his left hand into it's chest. With that, the beast stared him in the face and growled at him mockingly. "Big MISTAKE!", Taern roared at his opponent. His eyes grew wide and the expression on his face was purely psychotic.

Then, he felt the beast face crush under his own fist. It flew backwards, skidding across the ground a few feet. The beast tried to get back up but Taern was already right in front of him, his blade to his throat.

Taern's smile was wiped from his face. "Is that all you got?"  

[Shadow_Phoenix_Blade]

Lena chuckled as one of the Lycans threw her off his buddy. She was tossed back and pounced on. They straddled her, grinning like a animal in heat. Lena brought her knee up and buried it in his back. She rolled over him and surged to her feet, tripping one of the men. Lena glanced over at Taern. He had a blade to one of the creatures neck.

She turned her attention back to her opponents as a bit of magic came at her. She grimaced distastefully and flipped over it. "Pitiful excuse for combat. Your magic is nothing more than a weakness and it is cheating." She rushed the sorceror and high kicked him, catching him in his left cheek and causeing him to take a few steps back. Lena didn't stop. She continued around and brought her fists to his face, landing a solid punch on his nose. Blood rushed out.  

[Kimihiro_Watanuki]

The beast he was now standing over growled and roared at Taern in distaste. Taern replied by sinking the blade into it's neck, and firmly pulling it off to the side, causing it to exit from his neck, severing several major arteries and veins.

Blood spurted form the wound onto the grass, staining it a deep and gleaming crimson. Taern sheathed his blade and stood up, wiping some blood from his face with the remaining sleeve of his shirt. "Pathetic." he said as he turned to view Lena's fight.

She was doing well, overcoming her opponents fairly easily. She was definitely skilled and each move she executed wasn't simply meant for show. He decided against intervening, knowing it would only make Lena angry in the end. He only watched form the sidelines as the battle continued on.  

[Shadow_Phoenix_Blade]

Lena dropped to the ground as the Sorceror lunged for her. She rolled through his legs and used her momentum to kick him over. Suddenly, she felt a slight tingle in her arm. She frowned and glared at the sorceror. "Okay buddy. Now you're going to realize I really really don't like magic."

The sorceror seemed to pale and started to back away from her. Lena didn't realize that her eyes were once again reflecting death as some put it. The were harder than a rock and just as sharp as the finest blade. Lena kicked the sorceror and followed him as he skidded along the ground.

She then lifted him up by his neck. "You are dispicable. Get some decent training. You are hopeless." She flung him away from her and turned around, not bothering to watch as he crashed into a wall. Her arm was cradled with the other. It was numb and was still tingling.

As she walked up to Taern, she smirked. "Well, that was fun. What would you like to do now?"  

[Kimihiro_Watanuki]

Before he replied he looked at Lena's arm. it had been paralyzed to some extent but seemed to be in function condition.

He looked around checking all the enemies for successful incapacitation. "One death, two incapacitation's. Damage sustained, minimal to both participants.", he said in a somewhat dull and robotic tone.

He spun around to face Lena once again. Blood still satined a portion of Taern's face and seemed to create sort of a pattern with his own eye. He thought for a second, and then shook his head in response to Lena's question.

"We can do what you want until I figure out what I'm supposed to do."  

[biblis]

Zasz senses this happening and begins to smile in the mist of his training...he suddenly draws out a golden longsword, emerald inlay. he mixes it into the spins and flips of the blades. it is true poety in motion....  

[Shadow_Phoenix_Blade]

Lena was about to reply when she suddenly heard something. SHe turned and caught sight of the man that had been at the hotsprings. She scowled and and looked around the rest of the courtyard.

She finally settled back against the tree. "Well I really don't know what to do. Maybe I can help you find out about who you are. After all, it is only fair." Lena eyed Taern quietly. "Besides, it would probably give me something to do."  

[biblis]

Zasz stoped his training and sheaths his swords...he walks over to the woman and notices the bodies lying around....
"greetings...i see you are very competent in battle...as is your friend, who i guess still has no name....maybe you can tell me yours...." Zasz puts his trenchcoat back on....  

[Shadow_Phoenix_Blade]

Lena eyed the man distrustfully. "You may call me Lena I suppose." She took a step back uncomfortably. She had never dealt with conversation well.

"And about me being competent in battle, only a fool would think to be incompetent. Those who use magic fall in that line." Lena gave a disgusted looked toward where the soceror had ran off.  

[Kimihiro_Watanuki]

He stood a little off to the side of Lena and the man and heard their conversation while staring off into the distance. The man seemed a bit cocky to Taern. It was mostly the tone and style of speech he used. Taern ignored it however and kept listening in.

Lena seemed a bit uneasy so Taern had remained off to the side, but was now in between the two. Why he'd made this move puzzled even him. It was more out of impulse than thought but something told him he shouldn't move either. He stood still like a statue, just staring off into space, yet still being attentive towards the conversation and situation.  

[biblis]

"well lena...if that is your real name...also, what is your problem with magic users. what did they do to you that makes you hate them so...."
Zasz gives her a shady look.  

[Shadow_Phoenix_Blade]

Lena snorted, her hand absently resting on Taern's arm as he stood between them. Not enough to be rude but still a warning. "Magic is considered cheating. If someone is truly a warrior then they will battle using their basics. Arms and legs. There bodies as well." Lena sniffed in disgust as she looked at him. "I can only assume your a magic user. I should also probably mention, they stink to me."
