Part one- Entering the soul

I have so much on me mind, now that the Cotorie is reunited me plans need to go forward. I never wanted this, caring for others, having family despite the dysfunction. But fate threw me to this path for a reason. I have beings I want to protect, and I have a path to power I need to ensure. But it can't just be through force...

Nyxy retired upstairs to the bedroom stripping off her clothes to relax. Jack was still downstairs with his friends playing cards. The game had gone on for awhile, she won a hand or two then folded out early. When she last left Snake was gaining the upper hand, the young male gleefully enjoying the pile of chips in front of him. Giving Jack a lingering kiss she went up to have some quiet time alone. Nyxy was curious about Jack's friend Mathias, she knew they were close, she would ask Jack more about the male when the time was right. But from what she seen Mathias was a being Jack trusted so for now that made him okay in her book. She stood up and stretched raising her arms up above her head tilting her head back. She then walked over to her blade unsheathing it the sharp Katana glinted with cold steel. Rolling her head along her shoulders she gets down on her knees holding the blade to the ground her hands wrapped around its hilt. She closes her eyes focusing "I am one with you, you are an extention of myself. I am the blade and the blade is me." She chants this until her mind clears.

"Hello young one." Nyxy smirks at the shadowy figure who appeared to her mind "young eh?" The being nods "yes remember your human age pales in comparrison to my own." Nyxy smiled "true but I still feel ancient at times." The being chuckles "yes and hopefully one day you will be a true ancient, though the path you pick is a dangerous one. Beings such as ourselves are not prone to the path of honor all the time. You walk a fine line Hana Chi, are you strong enough to truly traverse this path?" She frowned at him using her given name but new better than to vocalize such displeasure to the figure. "I maybe a monster to some, but I still have honor, my lineage goes back to warriors of old Samurai even." The being scoffs at her "you believed your family path was that of the Samurai? What is so special about them? Samurai were written in poems and history to be special warriors of good. But in reality most were just lowly fighters, lucky if they served a master who gave them some form battle to fight for them for a pathetic sense of glory. You do not want that life Chi, you are above and beyond being just someone else's blade. You must find your own extension, and you must learn your true lineage." Nyxy glanced at him curiously "my true lineage?" The being nods "while your ancestors were warriors, they were beings of the shadows." Nyxy frowned "shadows but what about my honor? Those who lurk in shadows cannot walk that path can they?" The figure rolled its eyes at her "do not be a fool child shadow warriors have a code of honor. They followed such to the death and were passionate about it. Sometimes even more so then the boastful Samurai's, they just knew when to walk the dark path and do things most are not strong enough to. You have the ability within you to do this as well but you need lots of practice." Nyxy nods "what do I need to do?" The voice answers "for now meditate. Your cleared mind will bring you to me. As you visit I will show you things you can do with your blood that will make you a true warrior of shadows a being of fear and reckoning." Nyxy nods then asks "will I be able to protect those I care for?" The being grins showing slight fangs "you know caring for others could be viewed as weakness to some?" Nyxy narrowed her eyes "I used to believe that as a human, but I feel stronger than before because of the beings in my life."

"Then you are already on your path to great power Nyxy. You have learned the first lesson in what truly strong beings know. Our kind walk in shadows but we are never alone. With that you will one day be able to protect the beings you care for if that is your goal." Nyxy felt relief at the being's words, she knew it was not weakness that guided her feelings. The being speaks "come back soon you have much to learn." Nyxy frowned wondering why the tie was severing already. A cough snaps her out of her meditation, Jack stared at her with a smirk "you know it's not ever day a man comes to find a hot naked chick kneeling in his room with a sword..." Nyxy felt her face warm "Don't tease me I'm training." She stands sheathing her blade. "Oh what are you training for Darlin?" Nyxy puts her sword up and turns to him "for war, for keeping ye and those I care about safe. I never want to be at the mercy of a creature like Vicillis again if I can help it." Jack walks up pulling her close "just remember Darlin it's not your job to protect anyone. Your brothers and sisters can handle themselves, and my men and I don't need a sitter." Nyxy smirked at him "I know that dear, but I have plans, big ones. And I still need to be strong enough to make them happen." Jack grins "well how about some endurance trainning then?" He picked her up tossing her over his shoulder Nyxy giving a cry of delight as she is thrown onto the bed. "Endurance eh?" She asks smiling up at him, Jack grinned stripping down. Their trainning session would go on for the next few hours...

Part II- Manipulating the Vitae

Nyxy pants as her body dangled like a twisted marionette, strands of blood rose from her back and arms pulling her up and down. "How is this going to make me stronger?" She questions the being feeling weaker. He grins continuing to raise his hand up and down dancing her body back and forth "blood can be manipulated child in and out of the body. You either become the puppet master or someone's puppet." Nyxy frowned at him as he says "focus." The being jerks his hand up and the strands pull her arms together then wrap around her body like a fluid rope. Grunting she closes her eyes and focuses, then soon feels a warmth as the blood loosens and pools down her body. "Good continue to focus tell the blood what you want it to do." Nyxy at first thought to put it back into her body her fear of being without the vitae inside of her great. But instead she pushed passed the fear and focused using her will to form a carapace type skin around her body with the blood. The shadow master smiled "very good Hana Chi blood armor is not easy to form or maintain, but in a pinch it can be a defensive tactic." Nyxy nods and the armor fades her blood entering her body again. She felt revitalized and asks the master "what else can be done with my blood?"

The being grinned "oh so many things, I have a special technique one that very few of our kind can master. But I believe you are almost ready to begin to learn it." Nyxy glanced at him intrigued "what is the technique?" He turns from her and walks away "I will tell you more in time, for now you have not proved yourself worthy yet. But I will give you a hint...your blood can protect with armor but it can also form weapons. Once you are strong enough that is..." He begins to fade away, Nyxy wanted to ask more but knew better letting the tie sever. A knock pulls her from her meditative stance, she hears Dominique ask "Ms. Nyxy?" Nyxy smirked Snake had everyone calling her that now. "Yes dear?" She pulls on a robe opening the door. "Mr. Jack and Mr. Mathias asked me to come get you, they say its time to get things underway." Nyxy nods "I'll be down in a moment dear." The woman nods heading back down. Nyxy frowned they were moving into dangerous territory and she knew it. But her plans needed to move forward. She longed to train more but that would come in time, she would prove worthy of learning the new technique. But for now it was time to focus on the battles ahead. Getting dressed she heads down to see what was going on...

Part III- Limits and Bounds

When they returned from the meeting at Snake's, Nyxy instructs the Dragons who came back with them to head towards the back training area with Dominique. She nods to Jack who goes over to talk to Mathias about the Bruise brothers and what to do about the club members itching to fight. Nyxy decided to take the small window of opportunity to go upstairs and meditate. She knew she still needed a lot more training.

The master frowns as Nyxy appears before him "it has been awhile since you visited Hana Chi, I was begining to wonder if you had given up training." Nyxy sighed bowing her head "it has been rather busy, war is on our doorsteps and the people I care about are in grave danger." The being nods "true but what can you do about it?" She frowned "I am working my angles as we speak master." The being grinned "yes you are fine at manipulating situations, but how will you fair when you finally have to fight? As you know I can see things you do from time to time. You did not fair too well in your last battle did you?" Nyxy clenched her fist "I underestimated my opponent yes." The being snickers "you think too highly of your skills in combat, if you would fully train in the art of shadow combat you would see just how deadly your skills can be..."

Nyxy frowned "so you say; but all me life I have had to fight head on. And I run with a group that appreciates face to face and hand to hand combat." The Master shrugs "and that is what they appreciate. But I know you Chi, you appreciate surviving. Do not throw away your ability to survive to prove yourself. Those who care about you will no matter how you attain your power. Those who do not you should not care for anyway." He turns his back "its as you said child war is on your door step and you need to become very strong especially if you intend on taking out powerful opponents." Nyxy nods "I won't be alone though Master I be smart enough to know my limits." The being smiled "which is why you need more practice..." Nyxy stared confused at him "why is that?" He shifts form into a massive shadow creature "because you still believe in limits..."
