A Demonstration..

Lucius stands where he is, and takes out his blade again, now much larger than before. He stabs it into the ground as large red tendrils come out from the ground on both sides of Zeik, spiked at their ends but incredibly flexible. They grow to massive sizes and crash down on him, some trying to crush him with their weight and other attempting to stab him.

"zeiks stands perfectly still and the tendrils stop abruptly" hmm "the tendrils soon collapse on themselves and disappears" answer me this lucius "zeik tighten his glove and adjust his tie" why are we fighting??

Lucius withdraws his blade from the ground, and his mask folds down into his armor, revealing his full face. "Know thy enemy, know thy ally. The purpose of the fight is to bond with each other through the exchange of blood, and to prove our worth to each other." He pauses, raising his blade again. "We are fighting now so that I can show you, Zeik Hellgate, that I'm fully prepared to become your Apprentice, and that I will not fail you."

"zeik aways his blades and turns around"

very well you are my apprentice. i would love to continue this exchange of blood...but i have things i must tend to

"zeik's body begins to glow a faint black"

until next time

"zeik's body glows once more and zeik shadow warps away"

Lucius reverts back to his normal self and sighs. "Pity... I was oping to show you my readiness for the Anbu rank as well..." Staggering a bit and chuckling, he collapses in the ground.
