"Yeah, mind on sharing how you've earned that right, and how you also have access to aura?"
He continued to circle him, watching the masked mans hands.
English
-
"I earned the right to my abilities. You must still earn the privilege of finding out how." The master told Zane ominously as he suddenly lunged forward, slashing at Zane with his sword with a vertical strike that made its way down to up.
-
Zane leapt to the side of the strike and flipped over the man, then followed up with a slash to the mans backside.
-
Zane's opponent brought his blade behind his back and blocked the strike from the massive Infinite blade. He slid the longsword off as he kicked Zane in the belly.
-
Zane staggered back and threw knives at the masked man as he recovered, then raised the infinite blade and stood in a defense stance.
-
The man slashed the knives out of the air before they made contact, and the figure held his blade in front of him in a reverse grip afterwards. He began to circle around Zane now, turning the tables.
-
"You truly are a skilled fighter, Master of the Nightingales. In fact, it reminds me of someone I use to know...."
-
"The best fighters have similar styles in the nightingales." The Master said. "I am the best. Had you not left you may have found that out!" He yelled as he jumped in the air and slashed his blade down on Zane.
-
He blocked the strike and slid the master's blade to the side and pushed him away. "I didn't have a choice! I found someone I wanted to protect!"
-
The Master stumbled back but recomposed himself. "There were those you wanted to protect, but there were also those you [i]needed[/i]to be there for! You were no more than a selfish boy who had his first crush!" He yelled as he stopped his spinning blade and used his right hand to throw two throwing knives towards Zane.
-
He formed his dagger in his off hand and parried the knives, then pointed it at the master. "Those that I wanted to protect were too far gone! I grew tired of the assassin game, and I wanted out!"
-
"Then, you will die for the choices you made!" He yelled. Suddenly the black smoke began to become a dark crimson as he warped away and then warped in front of Zane, closing the gap. He spun his wrist blade down on Zane with an overhead strike.
-
Zane rose the infinite blade to block and parry the overhead strike, then slashed upwards with his dagger.
-
The dagger grazed the man's hood and he cursed as he stumbled back in an attempt to dodge it. His hood fell back and he grasped at his face as a stream of blood poured out from his hand. He wiped the hand and blood off his face, and he looked at Zane. His face was thin and pale. His lips were pursed and his eyes were a stunning blue. A stunning blue, Zane saw every day. He had long shaggy black hair and a scar that crossed over his eye, and a now fresh scar that bled some what over his left eye. He looked at Zane as he took heavy breaths. Zane looked at the figure. He looked so familiar. He had his finger on the man's identity and the similarities of how he looked compared to himself...

Edited by SDK Zane: 5/25/2017 1:51:04 AMZane let out a heavy breath as he looked upon the Master, his mind racing with questions. "I knew it....Its really you Akira...."
-
The Master, the man Zane had called Akira, looked up at Zane. His eyes were full of spite towards the man they looked at as he gritted his teeth. "Surprised?!" He asked. "I guess you wouldn't know what happened to us over the last three decades now would you?!"
-
He lowered his blades, slowly backing up away from his brother. "How could I? How could I have known?!"
-
"Oh?! You make a good point Traitor! How COULD you know about your family after you abandoned them and never sought them out ever again? How COULD you know about us when you went on your oh so emotional childhood romance?!" Aki asked Zane. He seemed to be getting angrier and angrier in every sentence he spoke.
-
"I couldn't have came back even if I tried! A portal appeared and sucked me and Mira through it while we were resting!" He let out a frustrated sigh. "I planned on coming back to get you and Setsuna out...."
-
"[i]IF YOU TRIED[/i]" Akira repeated after Zane. "And I suppose you would have come back to rescue us like you said is that it? Fight through the entire clan to free us from our "prison?" Please. You never would have done it. And by the time you would have it would have already been too late." He told Zane. He seemed to bow his head slightly after he made his case.
-
"Wait, it would have been too late...? Why, what happened?"
-
Akira looked to the ground, before he looked back at Zane, anger in his eyes. "You have interesting friends, Zane." He seemed to speak out of the blue. "Though I may as well start from the beginning, since you took the liberty of removing yourself from our lives. See after you left, Setsuna and I had to fend for ourselves. With you branded as a traitor people suspected us to be helping you in some way. The Master and mistress did nothing to help quell these claims. Setsuna changed over the years and became more violent and sadistic as ever, and she hardly even cared for me unless I could prove I could help her. Which I did. Soon Setsuna and I both swept the floor with the other kids and when she turned eighteen she became the most talented killer the Clan had seen in a long time. I had not yet been given the bond, but she had been." Akira continued. "She dodged death on a daily basis and became paranoid in every form and way. She never found her powers which made her even more scared of every corner. However she used that to her advantage when the time came. She was sick of the mistress when she was twenty. So, she spoke to me. We plotted to overthrow the mistress and the already dying master, and oh did we. It was a short fight with those two. The crimson on the walls was...stunning."
-
Zane was silent. He had always suspected that a darkness slept inside his older sister, but Akira? He was always so timid, and never wanted anything to do with the assassin's. "Go on....."
-
"We assumed control Zane. I was the master, and Setsuna became the mistress. This went on for many years... And then we finally found you. You popped up at the Dojo. We investigated you for years until it was conclusive. You had shown up again, and we aimed to stop you." Akira looked at Zane, his hand gripping his blade. "Obviously, it didn't take. So, we decided to take a different method. Take down your friends, take down your support, then take down you. Setsuna herself went to see this mission through...but things became complicated when he showed up in that small town on the tatakoi plains with none other then your daughter... My niece...."
-
Edited by SDK Zane: 6/6/2017 1:41:18 AM"I'm gonna go ahead and guess that Setsuna was taken down by my daughter and my friends." He let out a sigh. "So big sis is dead....."
-
"By the hands of the man you stand here avenging nonetheless. However I already helped in ending the ashen haired bastards life. Tywin is quite the ally..."
