Ryu District 1 and District 4 The story the demon told was so similar to his own Ryu nearly gaped. The surprise on his face faded as a look of sympathy was replace by annoyance at Youmu's words. Ryu sighed gently making his way over to where Magnus stood with his captive. It was a rare case for Ryu to feel so close to an enemy, but the creature was undoubtedly evil. Ryu simply kept walking as he passed the demon. It wasn't his fight anymore. It was honorable to step in to protect a wounded man. It wasn't Ryu's place though to help the man claim revenge against a victim of an unjust god or "emperor" as the creature said. Magnus had done nothing, but try to do the right thing for his people. Ryu respected that it was a the story close to his own. Ryu made his way through the crowd that had gathered heading south. A few guards tried to stop him as they surrounded the group. Ryu moved through the crowd eventually becoming lost in it. Ryu could see contingents of soldiers and mercenaries training as he walked south, but the majority heading north towards the fighting. Ryu stopped by the sparring field accepting a training sword. Ryu had never received formal sword fighting training. It was a mistake he could fix here through training and time. The city coated in conflict left this area clear of all but trainers waiting for the recruits to return. Ryu bowed asking one to train him completing the drills asked of him. Ryu was willing to train all afternoon if he could. The morning had been to confusing and he needed to clear his head. [@VitaVitaAR][@Wraithblade6][@supertinyking]
