Welcome to Gaia! ::

Miles sat at the stern of the ship, his knees once again pulled to his chest. He held his knees in place with his left arm, his right busy carving into the wood below him with his bent knife. He finished his picture, depicting a small village being burnt to the ground by a mighty beast. He groweled as he looked at the carving, slamming his knife into the center.

walking over to miles he noticed the depiction on the deck, "dont trust them eather huh?" he said as he walked past, looking out over the sea, towards the mainland.

Turning to look at him, he sighed, tossing a bottle of whiskey at his feet "swiped it from the food stores" he said, "not a good age, but will help your nerves none the less.... dont let whatever it is get to you, it'll just consume you.... your going to need a level head walking back into the frey.... trust me"

sighing again he leaned against the railings, lighting a ciggarette "im going to let you in on a little secret..." he said, exhaleing a large ammount of smoke. "i trust you to keep it to yourself..."

looking down at miles his face went almost sincear, alost fighting back tears "when you kill your own family.... its a terribe thing to live with...." he said, rubbng the corner of his eye, his hand trembeing violently "but if you can move forward, useing the torment as drive..... you'll come out on top"

sighing he walked over to the mast, shifting his weight to one foot as he looked out over the sea, "it twisted me.... but id never be the man i am now if i didnt move forward, i took the worst, and made it the best." he said, his face going back to its un emmotional state "not the best example, but i took a bad thing and used it to my advantage..... i took a heartless thing and made myself heartless... if it wasn for that, i wouldent be in the profession im in."

Takeing another drag of his smoke he walked up behind miles and claped a hand on his shoulder before walking away "hate to say this but..... its the past and how you deal with it that seperates the men from the boys.... and im damn sure your a man....act it, if not for yourself, for yousei...."

He stood up, stretching with a bit of a grunt, raising his arms above his head then back behind him before letting them fall to his sides. "he'll learn" he said out loud as he light another ciggarette, takeing a drag before tossing it away, walking to an open area onthe deck to practice his sparring.

Takeing his stance and balanceing on the balls of his heels he thrust his hand forward,his palm faceing out. Exhaleing sharply he followed through with a round house, jumping into the air he swung his other foot around, throwing off another three kicks in mid air. As he landed he bent his knees slighly absorbing the inpact against the deck and drawing his katana, stabbing backwards he spun on his heel, takeing another downward swing with his blade.

He sheathed his blade and began throwing open palm punches, his hands rolling up and down between each punch as he exhaled, matching each strike with his breathing.

Takeing a ste back he bent entirely backwards, lifting his feet he stood on his hands, slowly flipping back onto his feet he drpedto one knee taeing a leg sweep, then another before standing and taeing a fully extended kick up over his head.

He held his foot extended straight up fo a few seckonds before takeing another kick, bringing his foot back down to follow through. Bending his knees he back fliped from flat ground, extending his leg into a kick as he spun around, landing back on his feet and spinning on the ball of his heel, takeing another leg sweep before standing with an upper cut to follow through.
