[Hiei`Darkstar]

Hiei traveled with his wife, Malina to the Northlands to meet with five clerical swordsmen and women of Lylysa that had a special way training on way to useboth powers in holy and unholy to aid them in battel.

Thusday Hiei and Malina traveled on horse back that he stole from two Rangers that was left dangeling in a tree that Hiei set up as a trap "See you guys in a few days I promise return them to you."Hiei handling most bags containing cloathing for himself and his wife Malina was free travel beside or behind him they traveled all day taking breaks for the horses to drink from dtreams and fill the stomachs both riders and beasts. As light faded they met up with the people Hiei been in contact with the past few months and talking in screat but it was short introduction as all was tired and hungery so they had a dinner at the inn they (Hiei and Mlaina) was staying at. Malina was offered aid in help in mage training with one the woment that was a Fighter/Cleric/Mage if she wished it as for Hiei he was talking to the leader of the pact that was a man came from same type enviorment and led same life as Hiei did only diffrence was the exprince with a sword "You will not walk away without bleeding and suffering in pain, are you sure you want to do this?" The man asked Hiei before taking a bite of the chicken leg. Hiei was listening to every detail and taking a sip of the wine he had served to him. As he drained bit by bit of the red wine down his throat he thought about how he should answer and thinking about what he was getting himself into. Finally once the glass was empty Hiei spoke "You know it be waste of our time tonight if I chickened out now and returned home not expanding my knowdgle." Both men nodded and finshed the meals Hiei and Malina retired to their room while the group left to whever it was they hide out at it was are for them make any apprences in puplic.

Firday was first day Hiei was first leave the Inn to walk out along snow pathhe forgt to ask where it was to meet them but as he was walking one the swordsmen lept out of the frozen tree and before Hiei dressed in more clerical attier robes no sword but that means he was not carrying a blade on him "Hello human welcome first stage training are you ready?" Hiei moved his hand from his coat to the handel of the sword but the male moved speed to place his hand on Hiei's wrist shaking his head "No no no not yet we need see what kind soul you have inside before you get blade dancing fun." Hiei nodded as the man moved away leaving Hiei follow him to a diffrent location a cave and told sit. Hiei looked to the man blinking "So you going do something to me while I am centering myself or whatever you gain by medtation?" The cleric did not answer the question as Hiei would like him to but insead got a "Get to it I got places to be" For a answer. Well rather press on about it he did as asked as soon his eyes closed the nameless Cleric held out his hands and chanted a prayer connecting their souls now both men in a deep medtative state look like they was asleep in their current poistions. In Hiei's soul there was a empty void as normal reaction he looked around taking a few steps but no sounds below it was as if he was walking on air "Welcome to a place known as your soul boy!" The Cleric again appeared out of the blue causing Hiei turn around drawing his sword only as instinc when he is in a place new and unsure of. Seeing it was the Cleric Hiei lowered the blade and sheeted it "So what am I to do?" The Man walked to Hiei and poked the rouges forehead "Relax and simply look deep inside yourself you know find inner creatuer" Hiei blinked swatting the Cleric's hand after being poked "And how do I do that?"The Cleric chuckeled and stepped back saying "Dunno after all it is only something you know being this is your soul not mine." Hiei rolled his eyes and desided walk away when the Cleric started to ask as where he was going Hiei said "Going look for my inner beastie" The Cleric shrugged taking out a dagger and start to idly trace the blade under his nails. Hiei meanwhile was just walking unsure how is it he is find his inner creatuer "I say that guy is off his rocker and is toying with my head." Speaking his thoughts outloud as he traveled deeper into his own soul he became aware that things started change while the area was black ice was under his feet creating a path leading him further to what was a cave. Since he had no better place go he traveled to the cave and walked straight fowered deeper until there was a figer made of darkness eyes glowing dark shade in yellow Hiei thought it was his trainer but soon became aware after looking size it was not same as the Cleric's and held a rapier same as Hiei "Gusse you are gaudian or human form of what that guy was talking about my inner creatuer?" The figger did not answer it could not since had no mouth or abilty speak in thought only however charged after Hiei who in turn drew his sword to block the attack locking eyes with this shadow figger pushing him back to force unkown being back swining the rapier to only clash this shadow's sword however what Hiei did not know of was the shadow split into more than one the darkness took form behind him and sliced into his back pentrating his armor cusing him turn lose focase on the shadow behind him "How did you?" Just as he was in mid sentnce he looked over his shoulder see five more he was now souranded Hiei was not sure to make of this he thought he was set up to be killed and would die by all on once assult however they seem to attack once Hiei was not sure what to think but was easly evading their attacks and running sword through them have they become slower? When the fight draged on for nearlyhalf hour when came down to Hiei and once more a lone shadow being both worn out last legs they charged each other the shadow warrior thrust his blade out however Hiei lept up to land on the blade swing to slice the throat leaping up and flip back as shadow fadded away. Placing the blade back in the sheeth as he was doing so he heard a growling "Now what?" Hiei groaned as he feel to his knees still tired from being wounded and using his engery fight shadows. Lowering his eyes to the floor a symbole of Lylysa appeared engulfing Hiei light as growl turned to a roarand it was Hieis turn to scream that roar and growl last thing he recalled before blacking out. When he came to his trainer was twirling a dagger along his fingers when he saw Hiei moving he grinned stating "You passed that trial go get some rest." The Cleric helped Hiei upback to the Inn to rest and be ready for the next day.

Saturday Hiei was not sure what to expect time with Malina the night before help him eased his mind of what he did recall Friday when he did finally travel back outside to the snow field to be confronted by a female angel dressed all white holding a one handed katana "Vile creatuer I come to clense your soul" Hiei looked around before looking angelic beauty pointing himself "Look if you are talking about me sorry we just met not sure what you heard..." The woman shouted "Silence!"blinking Hiei could not get out another word as he found a arrow in his chest causing him go parlized stat and fall to his knees "When did she..." Hiei asked himself in thought everything was going black on him all he can do and think was move and he wants to live as the sword came down strike his skull Hiei felt sudden surge life in his body and roll out the way covering his body in snow when he looked up his face covered in mask made of ice shape of a dragon skull the female angel now seen who she was facing and what type of cleric of Lylysa Hiei was chatoic netural "Ok beast meet your maker." The woman held her sword in front of her as Hiei pulled himself up to slash wildly causing her back up blocking each wild swing sounds of blades clashing echoed. "He is strong I should not hold back" The Angel spoke to herself as she evaded a thrust of Hiei's sword and try to slash Hiei's chest. Hiei seen that and turned to swing hissword all his stregth throw the angel off gaurd and kick her to the ground forcing her on the back "I shall rid the world of your pure light." Hiei sneered as his bood thrust the angels chest knocking the air of her lifting the raiper up he was open last attack but it was not kill him but destroy the ice mask, the angel thrusted the katana deep in the forehead inchs from Hiei's skin the ice dragon skull mask cracked then shattered as Hiei thrust the blade down however as last bits of the mask fell off so did his sword stop inchs from her throat. "You passed this was your strong point Hiei." She spoke as Hiei was lost she talking about since everything happened so fast he steped back "Eh ok." All he said as she walked away leaving Hiei rubb back his neck and return to the inn

Sunday was the final day training for Hiei this time he met up man he talking with at dinner the night he arrived at the Northlands "Well Hiei today is your final time to train lets get to it you have me help you get use to holy power but if you are as Kate spoke of you may not use Holy power as much only when nessery like me you are chaotic one." Hiei shrugs saying in all honesty "Well I am not type follow others rules though Lylysa has her Searphs help enforce Balnce I perffer stay as one the dark natured neturals or something." Hiei shrugged as the man nodded"Anyway lets start Hiei" The man drew his sword as Hiei did trying summon holy power but it was not easy as he thought it be and had little time as his trainer came out kicking Hiei in the chest forcing him on his back hitting the ground hard "Man that hurt you don't fool around do you?" Hiei pulled himself up rubbing his chest the man chuckled "Well don't stand there come on!" Hiei taking chance regain his breath and attempt slash at the man moved away easy leaping in the air then telporting as Hiei looked up only be again kicked in the rips by the man appeared in more Angelic form causing Hiei hit the ground harder than before the unholy power behind the attack is what made the attack worse than one "Damn it." Hiei growled again pulling himself up it was pointless going unholy after all fighting darkness with darkness drag this on and get both them no where "Gusse I have no choice." Hiei telported back to a near by tree closing his eyes taking few deep breaths thinking nothing of lawless and ruthless thoughts but pure thoughts. The Angel took chance go leap up just as he was eye level with Hiei the human opened his that was pure white the red colored orbs now crystal blue "Sorry." Hiei muttered as he thrust his palm to Angel's chest force him to the ground Hiei lept off the trdd to land the ground pointint the blade to his throat keeping the blade inchs from the Angel "Give up." As he was about go on say he won he lost that holy power returning back his normal self "Crap" The Angel chuckeled as he moved away explaning "Well you need learn more on that if you pratice it atlest once a week or every now and then with someone in combat you will last longer until then you are done go enjoy your time with your woman and we meet again lets hope you be better shape." Hiei shook his head and walked away returning to the Inn just doing that rest time away was spent with Malina.

Monday Hiei and Malina stared their journey back to their home in the western Transian forest and of corse see what has happen in the people in Lombre in their absence.
