The five bladed salute (mrun and Knight)

[Will]

Zamiel Rosen stood atop a neon sign, totally invisible, bending the light around him. He was looking for a boy. A force sensetive who would make great Katyen material, maybe even take the position of the Mirehn of the blades when he 'passed away'. He grinned behind his mask. There, in an alleyway. He jumped into the alleyway, perfectly silent, to watch for a short while.

 

[Imperator]

Turin Raitel moved with perfect silence through the alley. He had been trailing his mark for several blocks. He needed some money and this man had plenty, he also had not killed in a while. The man he was hunting moved in front of the alley. That was all the opening he needed.

Turin moved like a flash, blades already held at the ready, and he plunged his claw-like weapon deep into the man's kidneys. Turin then moved his forearm down so the blades pointed up and caught the ribs. He pulled the man into the alleyway leaving only a dark trail of rapidly drying blood behind him. He then began to search for the man's wallet, a malicious grin marked his face. The man would have screamed, but the moment the blades had pierced his kidneys he had gone into shock

 

[Will]

Zamiel stood before the man, and suddenly appeared. ''You have promise, Turin Raitel. Join me and the Akegata, and you can kill as many as you want. Whenever you want. Will you join me?'' Zamiel stood, his mask covering the lower half of his face, his near-white irises boring into Turin's very soul. His voice was warped, as was custom.

 

[Imperator]

Turin looked up from his latest victim to the man who seemed to have appeared from nowhere. There was no shock on Turin's face though as one would usually expect there to be when confronted after murder by a man who could appear from nowhere. He could easily tell that this man was a killer too. The scent of blood was masked of course, but still there and almost tangibleto a person used to the smell. Then with his malicious grin still spread across his face he simply stated, "Why not." Turin then stood up and walked over the corpse towards Zamiel quite curious to see if the man's promise would be fulfilled.

 

[Will]

''Follow.'' Zamiel simply stated, turning about quickly. He jumped up the side of a building, using the force to keep grip. He found himself atop it, and running across the rooftops, jumping the larger gaps.

 

[Imperator]

Turin watched the man climb straight up the side of the building with relative ease. "Well that is a neat trick," He stated aloud to nobody in particular. He then shimmied his way up a pipe somewhat slower than Zamiel, but managed to reach the top before Zamiel had crossed the first rooftop. Turin then began to sprint after him and managed to close the gap between them on the second rooftop.

 

[Will]

Zamiel reached his small ship on a rooftop, and got into it. He indicated for Turin to do the same. ''We are to go to Yalara, where you shall learn the ways of the dark side of the force, and how to kill in the shadows of the night.''

 

[Imperator]

Turin quickly looked over the ship and said, "This night is getting more and more interesting as it progresses." He then entered the ship as Zamiel had indicated and asked,"What do people call you?"

 

[Will]

''I am Zamiel, Katra of the Akegata. I am the leader. Until you become a Katyen, you call me 'Katra'. It is a rule.'' Zamiel steerd the ship, and set in the co-ordinates for hyperspace.

 

[Imperator]

Turin simply sat back and with eyes have closed said, "Okay."

 

[Will]

The ship came to the shrine, entering it through the vertical shaft to the underground. Zamiel showed him to the two large double doors. The Mirehn were present, and Zamiel took his place, 6 seats raised, circling the plinth Turin was on.

The one to the right of Zamiel spoke.

''You are now nameless. You are naught but a shadow, commiting your work silently for darkness. You are the watcher in the night.''

The one left of Zamiel spoke.

''You are a deadly force, an unknown power wielded with final intent. You are the blade in the shadows.''

Zamiel spoke.

''You are Akegata''

The other 5 left, leaving just Zamiel. He indicated a stone casket to his left. ''That is the uniform of the nameless. A simple black bodyglove, without ornament. You must always wear it until you become Katyen. Now, follow that nameless to your quarters, you shall share them with him.''

 

[Imperator]

Turin simply shrugged and took the uniform he had been given. He then left the room in the wake of the nameless that had been indicated to him. He was now both on his way to his room, and his future.

 

[Will]

Hauldus stood in the black circle of the training ring. As was ritual, he had spread the chalk, save for his circle. He awaited a nameless, apparently a tortured mind. This would be...Intreguing...

 

[Imperator]

Turin walked slowly towards the ring. He began to recite the code under his breath.
"We are nameless, naught but shadow."
His uniform did not rustle as he moved. He made no sound at all as neared the ring.
"We do our work for shadow, we are the watcher in the night."
His feet left no mark on the ground. It was almost as though a shadow moved across the ground.
"We are an unknown power, the blade in the shadows"
His whisper of words seemed to resonate through the training room. If one did not know it, it would seem as though the walls spoke along with him.
"We are Akegata"
Turin stopped just at the edge of circle of chalk making no extra sound to accompany his finishing of the code.

 

[Will]

''Good. We got that out the way. Now.'' Two black spheres were in Hauldus' hands. ''Lift and push the one in my right, then lift and pull the one in my left.'' He stood, palms up.

 

[Imperator]

Turin looked at the trainer for a second. "You want me to move those how exactly?" He really was quite confused as to what this exercise was supposed to entail.

 

[Will]

''With the force.'' Hauldus replied. ''Reach out with your mind to grab the sphere, and lift it.'' It was rare for a person with the force to not even know they had it...

 

[Imperator]

"Uh-huh, you may wish to know that I have no idea how to use the force. Actually, I never knew I had the force." Turin found this to be interesting development seeing as how he barely knew anything about the force except that some people could use it to do amazing things.

 

[Will]

''Ok, chant the code in your mind, using it to focus yourself, and use the power you feel to lift and push the sphere.'' Hauldus replied.

 

[Imperator]

Turin focused and burned the sights around him into his mind for a second. He then closed his eyes and focused all his thoughts on the two orbs held before him. Then with incredible speed they both lept up and the one in the trainer's right hand went flying off at incredible speed while the one in his left flew straight over Turin's shoulder almost nailing him at high speed.
