Me too. It's mostly politics, to much prsonal information and using the site the wrong way is what I get in trouble for. ( Even though I don't get in trouble very often, when I do I kinda panic. ) That post might have been a gray area though, because I was talking about another person. It doesn't matter though.
Yeah, when I come on I see "oh no, a message!" but most times it's not rejected posts.
Jadyn was practicing his punches on one of the punching bags. Putting his all into each punch. " You know, those fists would be a lot more effective in battle if they were on fire. " It was Sensei. "Sensei... Why does it have to be me? Why can't my sister inherit the element instead? She's older! I'm not ready, fire reminds me of... " Jadyn trailed off, a look of dispair on his face. He was glad Zephyr and Lisa were outside with Peak, they didn't need to see him in this state. Sensei grinned softly. " I think we both know why your father choose you. " "But isn't there another way? A way that my father and the rest of ninja don't have to give up their powers?! " Jadyn asked desperately. Sensei shook his head sadly. " I'm afraid not, you knew all the trems when you agreed to be trained by me Jadyn, either except them or not. " "I know..." Jadyn sunk to the floor and put his head on his knees momentarily before looking up at Sensei and saying, " things will never be the same again though... " "True, but that might not be a bad thing. You'll be on a team with Lisa, and Zephyr, and also... a new student I'm going to start looking for tomorrow. Yes I'll be leaving, I was just going to gather you all and tell you, but seeing as you are not in the best of moods right now, how about I just go inform the girls without you. " "No, it's fine, I'll come with you." replied Jadyn.
O3O
Ooohhh. . . What are they talking about? Who is Jadyn's sister? Where are Kai and his spouse (most likely Skylor ) now? How did the ninja give up their powers? Why is this such a gosh-darn cool mystery? I wanna know moooaaarrrr!!
This is great! I liked seeing Lisa, Jadyn, and Zephyr train together, and ooh, I really know the story behind the conversation Sensei Lloyd and Jadyn shared! (And I love Sensei Lloyd!! ) TELL MEH MOAR.
Awesome job!
I'm so very glad you like it!! Thank you!! Moar will be posted soon!!
" It's complicated. " Answered Zephyr carefully. "But if your going to find out eventually anyway, what choice do I have?" "What are you afraid will happen if you tell us Zephyr? Asked Lisa carefully. "I don't know that I can trust you with who I am. " Zephyr answered almost coldly, but Lisa could tell it hurt her to say it. " We won't ask any questions if you don't want us to. " Said Jadyn. Says the person who didn't want to talk about elemental powers a moment ago. Thought Lisa . Zephyr glanced at Jadyn when he spoke and sighed. "Fine." She took a deep breath and said "It could possibly be... Gravity."
Zephyr was shocked at words that had come out of her own mouth. Sure she knew it was likely she didn't have the element, but as she had been training and after thinking about the dream of the previous masters she realized it was actually more likely then she had previously thought. But why did she tell them?! She had been so cought up in the moment she hadn't thought of all the bad things that could happen. There was no taking it back now though... No matter though right? If those people ever tracked her down, she just wouldn't talk. Sure it could mean being smashed in future, but no big deal right? Um yes big deal! Very very big deal! Ugh, she knew she wasn't ready to leave Hiroshi's Labyrinth. "Zephyr relax, it's just us who know." Lisa said clamingly. Jadyn spoke up. " Look Zephyr, we don't know why you don't want to trust us, but you can least trust us with the information that you have something that we do as well." "Yeah and even though I do have a lot of questions, I'll let you keep the answers to yourself. Besides, it doesn't reveal that much about you, you could have gotten your element from anywhere." added Lisa. " I don't know for sure though... " Said Zephyr. " Maybe I can look it up. " offered Lisa.
That night Lisa was up late looking through her books. Hmm gravity master, let's see. Thought Lisa. She found what she was looking for in a recent book on elemental masters and their elements. "Here we are. " It read: Gravity
Last known master: Gravis Status: inactive/unknown Status of last known master: smashed Color: unknown/none Last known Location of last known master: unknown/none Next possible master could be: unknown/none < Past masters: Gravis, Genarel,Ginny, Kestrel, William, Fred, Lilly, Kim, Jack, Chang, Misty, Fill, Mary, Adrien, Paril, Link, Saria, and many unknown masters. Master's abilities: Can create and control gravitational fields. Make things and people light, heavy, float, etc. Can make themselves levitate, float, move though the air. Can climb on walls,ceiling, etc. And perhaps more.
Then there was pictures of past masters and some side notes about what gravity masters have done in the past. Not much information here, considering Gravis smashed twenty years ago. Zephyr might be interested in seeing all this though. Thought Lisa. She marked the page with a bookmark, checked on Luma, turned out the light and went to bed.
The next day Lisa showed Zephyr a page in a book about elemental powers, it was about gravity. Zephyr was interested right away, she sat studying it for half an hour, she had no idea gravity masters could do so much. They went over training for the day and then in the evening was break time. Lisa went to her room to draw in peace. Nearly the the second she closed the door Jadyn asked, "Want to spar?" "Sure. " Zephyr had been shown how to spar by Sensei a couple days ago, so she knew how to do it. "Great, let's get some gear on and we can begin. " He said charmingly. Zephyr choose some blue sparring gear, she put on the soft padded body armor and helmet. Then she put on the gloves and foot guards. Jadyn had chosen red sparring gear, his red hair stuck out from under his helmet and he was grinning. " You like rock music? " he asked. Zephyr shrugged. "Guess we'll find out then. " He said turning on the radio. The music sounded pretty cool, energizing. They both put their mouth guards on and got into position. "Ready?" Asked Jadyn. "Yeah. " replied Zephyr. They bowed to each other like Sensei showed them to and then got into ready fighting positions. Jadyn throwed a light kick first and Zephyr blocked it with her arm. She knew she'd never be able to do that in a real fight and was glad when Jadyn didn't point that out. Zephyr then punched at Jadyn and he dodged it effortlessly. Then Jadyn did a gab and punch, Zephyr blocked it and returned it with a kick that actually made contact with his armor. "Nice. " Jadyn breathed before delivering a kick of his own which also reached it's target. " You too. " Said Zephyr as she staggered back a bit, but regained her balance as quick as she could manage.
Suddenly Lisa peeked out of her room and shouted "Jadyn are you playing rock music on the radio again?! It's interfering with the inspirational music I was drawing too! And I- wait, oh, sorry Zephyr I thought it was just Jadyn. Really. Um I guess I'll just use headphones." "We could turn it down a notch if you'd like. " Said Jadyn. "That would be great." replied Lisa as she slipped back into her room. Zephyr starred at the door for a moment before Jadyn said " She'll be fine, it's nothing prsonal if we interfere with each other's choice of music. Just slightly annoying. " Jadyn turned the radio down a bit and they returned to sparring. After about an hour of sparring they were wore out and sweaty, the floor wet from it. Zephyr had learned to enjoy the smell of sweat in the past days, it was a sign of working hard. Jadyn turned off the music and they removed their sparring gear.
As they did so Zephyr asked "How long do you think Sensei will be gone? " "I'm not sure, he was gone for about a week when went to find you. " He replied removing his foot guards. "Ok. " Zephyr took off her helmet, her hair was now a bit of a mess. "It was strange when he went to find you though, he got up in the middle of the night and told us he was going to Donahue. He said he hoped he'd find his next student there, and he did. " Jadyn also removed his helmet, his red hair was now a sort of mess, but Zephyr thought it looked nice. "The only reason I went to Donahue was because I heard he was looking for students. " Said Zephyr removing the last of her gear. "Really? " asked Jadyn putting the gear away. "Yeah. " replied Zephyr as she push some stray blonde and blue hair out of her face. "Wow. Then that means... Sensei knew you'd come, or it was a really lucky chance. " " Maybe both?" Zephyr shrugged. "Yeah maybe. Anyway though, Sensei could be back tomorrow or gone for two weeks. It's really hard to say. I-I just hope he's safe, along with-" Jadyn said as he closed the box that held the sparring gear. Zephyr waited for him to finish what he was saying. He finally glanced at her and said " My father, mother and the rest of the ninja. " "They'll be ok, they're ninja right?" said Zephyr. Jadyn grinned, " Yeah, of course. "
The next day early in morning something strange happened. They were warming up as usual when a folded piece of paper flew through a portal hole that disappeared a second after it had appeared. Zephyr glared at spot it had appeared, highly paranoid. Jadyn picked the piece of paper off the off the floor, he unfolded it and read it. " It's from Sensei. " He read it in his mind some more then said " He should be here around midday, he wants us to be ready." "Just like when I came? " asked Zephyr. "Exactly. " He replied. The three of them put together a plan, Jadyn would attack from the rafters again, and Lisa and Zephyr would each be attacking from either side of the the main door, hopefully in an attempt to catch the new student off guard by coming from behind them or from their side. They put on their black ninja hoods which matched their black ninja gis, turned out the light and closed anything that let in light. Then they waited. Then after what felt like an hour but couldn't have been more then ten minutes the door opened and figure stepped through it. Zephyr was nervous but exited, she held her breath waiting for Jadyn to make his move. He jumped like he did the night she arrived, she could actually see it this time though. Jadyn landed right in front of the figure making a battle stance. This was Lisa and Zephyr's chance. The two of them rushed forward and grabbed the person's arms forcing them to the floor. The person hadn't noticed them because of Jadyn, just like they planned. Zephyr could now see the person a little better now she was closer, he was male, but that was all she could tell.
(Ooh, a novel about Christian ninja? Count me intrigued! )
( Yeah it would require a bit of research, and I'm not sure how I am at historical fiction yet. But it's something I'd like to try writing if I get the chance in the future. It would probably be based around one person mostly and their struggles of being both a Christian and a ninja within that time and culture. )
(It does sound like something that would take a lot of research and studying. I'm a fan of historical fiction -- history is my favorite subject in school -- so I think I'd love to one day see you create something like that. I think that would be an exciting and intriguing idea, especially considering the culture and spiritual ideas of Japan back then. That would make a great book. )

Now I'm playing some Fall Out Boy music in my head.
*claps for both Jadyn and Zephyr*
This kind of reminds me of one of those scenes in Roots of Earth, when Cole and Liana were training together.
