"If I can....it might be interesting." The tall drow followed him into the temple, coming out of the fight with a little appreciation for a Warder's duties. He felt a little more ready to recieve the training Master Po was going to give him.

(( Text: Green: Master Po, Purple: Warders,))

*Master Po Lead Rehn into a Large Circler Room, under a Large Dome. There was Five Warders. The First Had Two swords strapped to his back, a Hilt standing just above each shoulder. The second Warder stood tall, a bo staff in his right hand, at his side. The Third had a pair of fighting knives. One in each hand. The Forth Warder had a Bow in his right hand, and a quiver filled with arrows on his back, the arrows standing just above his right shoulder. The Fifth Warder had nothing in his hands. Master Po turned to half face Rehn.*

“The Warder Masters are as Followers. Master of the Swords, Master Elrond. Master the Bo Staff, Master Haldir. Master of the Fighting knives, Master Legolas. Master of the Bow and Arrow, Master Celeborn. And Master of Empty Hand, or Hand to Hand Combat, Master Cain.”

“These Masters will see to your Training. When these Five are done with you, you will be a Level One Warder. Learn well Rehn.”

*Master Po turns and leaves the Chamber*

(Oh boy, putting a dark elf in the middle of light elves? This'll be interesting...)

Rehn nodded, the abnormally tall drow lowering his head as he re-entered the sacred place. Once again, he felt the power within it's walls and radiating off the people inside, though he felt a little less tiny in its presance and more in tuned with the Oneness.

He trusted Master Po but when he pointed out his teachers, his eyes widened slightly. He was surrounded by Tall elves, elves of light! He bowed stiffly to each as they were introduced to them, trying not to be too affected by their presance. His drow mind screamed to attack to kill and destory these foes, but he quickly subdued it, in case the elves saw the conflict within him. He bowed to Master Po as he left. "Thank you, Master Po. I will try and honor your trust in me."

Despite all the forced teachings he had in his earlier years, the drow seemed like a turtle in th middle of a pack of sharks as he was watched by the elves. "I.....I am ready for your teachings, Master Warders." He slowly dropped to a knee, still very tense.

(( Text: Purple: Warders,))

*Master Elrond went First, Drawing one of his two swords. Spinning and turning, turning and spinning. The sword was a blur. The Masters steps was more like a dance then Fighting. After a few minutes, he drew his second sword without missing a beat. His work with the two swords was pure art in motion.*

*After Master Elrond was done, Master Haldir stepped forward with his bo staff. Spinning and turning, moving and flipping. The Staff was just as much a blur as Master Elrond was with his swords.*

*After about ten minutes, Master Legolas stepped forward and drawing his two Fighting knives, he went into action. Just as Master Elrond, Master Haldir dance of death was just as beautiful, fast and deadly.*

*After about another ten minutes, Master Celeborn took a blind fold and covered his eyes, then taking his bow, drew and fired at six targets, scatted around the chamber. Two arrows for each target. Both arrows hitting the dead center of each of the six targets.*

*After Master Celeborn was done, He removed his Blind fold. Then Master Cain stepped forward, moving in a very different kind of dance. A Dance better known as Tai Chi. Kicking and flying into the air. As he moved, He spoke so that Rehn and the others could hear.*

“All creatures - the low and the high - are one with nature. No life is insignificant. If we have the wisdom to learn, all may teach us their virtues. From the crane we learn grace and self-control. The snake teaches us suppleness and rhythmic endurance. The praying mantis teaches us speed and patience. And from the tiger we learn tenacity and power. And from the dragon we learn to ride the wind. Life sustains life and all living creatures need nourishment. Yet, with wisdom the body learns to sustain in ways that all may live.”

*After Master Cain was done he walked up to Rehn.*

“A True Warder is a Master of all forms of Combat. We each will teach you to know those forms. You just need to be willing to learn that which we can teach you. Are you ready to begin your training?”

He watched all of the masters forms, not knowing how simular they were to some drow forms of fighting. He took notes in his head as to how to learn these forms, slightly admiring how simple they made it look. He listened to the words Master Cain said, then stood up. "I am ready to learn, though....I must confess, I've never learned from the light elves before so forgive me for anything I do wrong."

(Bumps to keep it alive)

(( Text: Green: Master Chan, Purple: Master Elrond.))

*Master Chan Walked over Rehn.*

“If While Building a house, a carpenter strikes a nail, it proves faulty by bending. Does the carpenter loose faith in all the nails, and stop building his house? It is better to have faith even if we are often reminded of the pain. Deal with pain though strength, but affirm the good in faith though trust. In this way we are Strong.”

*Master Elrond stepped forward, stopping beside Master Chan.*

“What Master Chan means is That we are here to see that you don’t fail. We will do out best no matter how many times we are reminded that no one is perfect.”

*Master Chan Nodded at Master Elrond, then turned back to Rehn.*

“Nothing is Gained by using one's strength in violence and anger. To be violent is to be weak, for violence has no mind. The body is the arrow, the spirit is the bow. You must learn to use the strength of the spirit.”

“Perfect wisdom is unplanned. Perfect living offers no guarantee to a peaceful death. Learn first, how to live. Learn second, how not to kill. Learn third, how to live with death. Learn fourth, how to die...To know love, be like the running brook, which deaf, yet sings its melody for others to hear. Feel the pain of too much tenderness. Wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for yet another day of learning.”

*Master Elrond Nodded and looked to Rehn.*

“You need not worry yourself with thoughts of Making mistakes. When we send you forth as a Master Warder, The word Failure will no longer be a word to you again. For a Warder to Fail, Lives can and will be lost. There for when we do send you forth. You will be a Master.”

(This is DarkelfDrizzt btw, just needing to use a different account for now)

Rehn felt a little more encouraged by the words the two masters said to him. He nodded and bowed his head in thanks. "Well, the sooner we start the sooner you Masters can make me better. I'm ready if you guys are."

(( Text: Green: Master Po, Purple: Master Cain.))

*Master Po Watched from the Shadows as the Masters took over. Knowing that Rehn was in good hands, Master Po went outside, to Meditate in the Stone Garden.*

*The Master Cain Went First.*

“Before you can Master Any Weapon, You must master the Combat of Empty Hand Fighting.”

*Master Cain lead Rehn in some Katas.*

Rehn folowed Master Cain's intrsuctions, a fast learner thanks to all the trainign he had growing up in his family's forces. He noticed some simularities in both what he was being taught and what he already knew, but some major differences as well.

(( Text: Green: Master Po, Purple: Master Cain,))

*Master Cain Nodded to Rehn as he continued.*

“Very good Rehn. You some Ability within you. All we need do is bring it out to its fullest potential.”

Rehn allowed himself a confident smirk before getitng back to concentrating on his movements. He kept his black wings tucked next to his body, keeping his balance and center of gravity close to his body.

(( Text: Green: Master Po, Purple: Master Cain,))

*Master Cain Noticed the Smirk from Rehn*

“Don’t let your Confidence get the better of you. If you allow it, It can be used against you as surely as any as any Weapon, and can be just as Deadly. If one dwells on the past, then he robs the present. But if one ignores the past, he may rob the future. The seeds of our destiny are nurtured by the roots of our past.”

“It is good to reflect on your Past, but don’t allow it to rob the Present.”

*Master Cain continued his teachings.*

*Master Po Walked out into the Garden and Sitting on the Stone, in the middle, he set down his Cane, and bowing his head, started his Daily Meditation.*

Rehn nodded. "I understand, Master Cain. Thank you for the reminder." It felt good to be taught a slightly new form of fighting, making his muscles stretch and burn softly. He relished slightly in the feel of this exersizing of the body and the mind.

(( Text: Green: Master Po, Purple: Master Cain, Blue: RedWolf, Orange: Blade, Gray: Lance. Red: Ninja Warriors and other Warders, ))

*Master Cain continued Talking as he instructed Rehn.*

“Remember, The undiscerning mind is like the root of a tree--it absorbs equally all that it touches--even the poison that would kill it.”

“Perfect wisdom is unplanned. Perfect living offers no guarantee to a peaceful death. Learn first, how to live. Learn second, how not to kill. Learn third, how to live with death. Learn fourth, how to die...To know love, be like the running brook, which deaf, yet sings its melody for others to hear. Feel the pain of too much tenderness. Wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for yet another day of living.”

*Master Po felt the opening of the Archway, and getting to his feet, walks over and waits. *

*Warders and Ninja Warriors walked up, taking postions around the Archway as it opened. Standing ready. They knew that the Entry point was well guarded, But they took no chances.*

*The Archway opened, and RedWolf stepped form it with his love at his side. He smiled seeing Master Po waiting for them.*

“You know Master, One day I will sneak in here and catch you off Guard.”

*Master Po Laughed.*

“That day will never come.”

*RedWolf Also laughed.*

“Yes, that may be true, but one dose need goals. And a goal to easily reached is a goal not worth reaching.”

*Master Po Nodded.*

“I did teach you well. That goes without question.”

*Blade Stepped though the Archway.*

*Lance followed Blade out of the Archway, it closing behind him.*

*Blade stood next to Red and his Wife, Bowing their Body and head, right fist hitting the palm of their left hand.*

*Lance Did the Same.*

*Master Po Nodded to Blade and Lance.*

*Blade did not stand straight till after the nod from Master Po. To do otherwise would be disrespectful.*

“Master Po, Lance and I would like to go to go to the Training area.”

*Lance added.*

“To Shaping our skills Master.”

*Master Po Nodded to Blade and Lance.*

“You two may go.”

*Turning to the Other Warders, Most dressed in Ninja Uniforms.*

“You all may go.”

*Blade walked off, heading to the Training area.*

*Lance Followed.*

*The Warders and the Ninja Warriors went back to what it was that they were doing, some following Lance and Blade.*

*RedWolf waited for Lance, blade, and the Warders to leave.*

“I understand that Rehn is here.”

*Master Po Nodded*

“That he is, but he can not be disturbed at this time. He is with Master Cain right now.”

*RedWolf Nodded.*

“Understood, Master Cain would have my head if I Interupted the training between him and one of his students.”

*Master Po Nodded.*

“That he would”

*Then Master Po turned to Whisperia. A warm smile coming to his lips.*

“It is good to see you my Child. You are looking wonderful.”

*Taking her hand, he kisses it. Then looks to Red and then back to her.*

“I hope that My Student is taking care of you. If he is not, you can tell me. He may be Chow-Die in the real world, but But here, that title means little, and I can still put him into his place.”
