So I've updated Kyuuten's char sheet. He's got a new look, some new spells and equipment. If a GM could look at it and gm it for me that'd be great. Just wanna be sure all my changes are reasonable~

Starbird's Training | Day 2

The sounds of Kyuuten's intense training could be heard from quite a distance. Crashing and explosions riddled the mountain with echoes and startled the wildlife. Flying rapidly in a serpentine pattern Kyuuten closed in on his shirtless master. "Now you're mine!" Orin flexed his muscles and punch the ground beneath him sending a chunk of earth up and striking his student in the abdomen and knocking him back. "Ngh! Damn...he countered with nothing but brute strength...he never fought this seriously before. I guess he really wants me to get stronger this time around. Geez, and I still haven't done Merrian's training for the day..." Kyuuten removed his coat and tore what remained of his sweater vest away. The determination in his eyes flickered and he pushed forward towards his master, intent on completing this training.

"That's right Rallis. Give your inner light form and create your own magic art!" Orin flexed him muscles as sparkles littered his visage. Kyuuten smirked. "I'll never get used to that~"

Day 6

Kyuuten collapsed to his knees panting heavily. This was the routine of the last few days. He sparred with Orin using his Heavenly Body and then he'd practice summoning spirits until he forgot what it felt like to have magic energy flowing through his body. My head is on fire. Every part of my body feels like they weigh a ton...I... Merrian's words echoed in his mind. You've come a long way as a Celestial wizard and I'm so proud of how much you've discovered about your mother's magic. I'm sorry I haven't been able to help with that. But I'm not gonna lie down and let you struggle to progress on your own anymore. Your master told me his idea for your Celestial Unity. Honestly, I think it's insane--he's a very "passionate" man isn't he?--but...I think you can make it work. You'll have to master summoning to degree you've never thought possible to do it. Summoning will become as easy as breathing when you're done~ Kyuuten couldn't help but let out a strained chuckle. "Heh, easy...as breathing huh...? Well, breathing's a little...tough...right about now but..." The snowy haired wizard's ragged breaths slowly but surely settled. "With each summoning...hmph~" Kyuuten shakily stood to his feet. He looked at the Key of the Proxy that rested on his belt. He unhooked it and held it out in front of him. "Open!"

From a distance Orin watched as his pupil pushed himself further and further. "When your training is done I have something to tell you...

Day 7

Kyuuten stretched, preparing for today's spar with Orin. Though his master still outclassed him greatly these spars were fine tuning all of his skills and with every blow he was coming up with new tactics using his Heavenly Body magic. He'd even discovered some new techniques. "As harsh as it is it really is paying off~ The Starbird smiled brightly until a sudden pain turned it into a grimace as a black box bounced off his head and landed at his feet. "Owowowow! Hey, don't throw stuff while people aren't paying attention!" Kyuuten scolded his master as he held his head and held back tears. "I'm sorry. I thought you were. You've been waiting a long time to put those to good use." Kyuuten gave his master a puzzled look and turned his gaze to the box at his feet. "This is..." Orin began to remove his shirt. "Yesterday you forced me to use my own Heavenly Body twice and Miss Merrian's training has done wonders for your stamina as well as your magic management. That item was especially crafted for you and I believe you're ready to add it to your arsenal. Whenever you're ready Rallis. Orin took his stance preparing for what may come of his student's new item.

Kyuuten stared at the black box for a moment. It had been so long since his first disastrous attempt at mastering it that he'd nearly forgotten about what was inside. Back then he wasn't a third as strong as he is now, maybe even less than that. Orin and Merrian's training was really something else. Kyuuten ran his hand over the box and smiled before undoing the clasp. "I'm ready."

Day 9

The flashes of light receded and Kyuuten stood with Getsu on one side and Kara on the other. The young wizard looked at them both, Kara grinning wildly back at him and Getsu gave him a rare wry smile. "Congratulations Starbird~ You've mastered the double summoning." Kyuuten smiled thankfully at Merrian. "Thanks to you~ But we're not done yet, are we?" The tone of his voice told her that he was more than ready to move on to the next step. Merrian nodded. "You're not wasting any time are you? Good~ I have no clue how viable Orin's idea is and my lack of knowledge about Celestial Unity doesn't give it another leg to stand on. Nonetheless it's the only theory we have to go on so it's worth a try. Go ahead and send one of them back and merge."

Kyuuten closed Getsu's gate and unfurled his tail from under his coat before the unity circle appeared beneath him and Kara. Engulfed in a blinding light the two emerged as one. Kyuuten stood with black streaks in his hair, pointed ears, fanged teeth and two blue flames resting open his forehead. "Let's begin." Merriam said never unimpressed by the young wizard's magic. Kyuuten nodded and waved his hand opening two gates at once.

Day 11 | R&R

The warm waters of the mountain hotspring washed away the bulk of Kyuuten's exhaustion. This day of rest wasn't just to prepare him for the final days of his training but to also give him time to reflect on everything he's done so far. The training with the special item was coming along. He was able to control it but he still far from mastery. Orin's theory seemed to be sound but it wasn't as simple in practice. That said Kyuuten wouldn't give up on making this work without a better reason than it might not be possible. This is a chance for me to give something to my mother's magic. All these years and I haven't discovered anything of significance about Celestial Unity. I didn't exactly inherit your mind did I mom? If I can further what your worked so hard to create then I'll keep moving forward.

Day 12 | The Sun Shines in the Dark

"You'll spend these last days training on your own." Kyuuten looked at his master bewildered but had no solid reason to question him. Orin genuinely wanted to make his student ever stronger and Kyuuten didn't doubt that. "I've taught you everything I can about being a Heavenly Body mage. It's up to you to take that knowledge shape a magic art completely your own." Orin removed his shirt and sparkled, speaking the words passionately. He then turned around and cocked back his arm, unleashing a mighty grunt as he punched aside an immense boulder. Displacing the large rock revealed the entrance to a cave. Kyuuten gazed into it but could barely make out the walls of the deep cavern. "This cave system cuts all the way through the mountain. There are dangers that will not only test you physically but mentally as well. You'll make this journey alone and only one of two things will happen in there: either you and your magic will emerge from the other side radically stronger than you were at the start of this training or...you don't emerge at all. I have complete faith that you'll come back to us~" Orin placed a hand on Kyuuten's shoulder with a smile barely visible beneath the golden mustache. "Bet on it~" He turned to Merrian who had her own words to offer. "Don't forget, your spirits are always there for you. If you need their help don't hesitate to ask. The relationship between the Celestial wizard and their spirit is the what makes our magic so special and even more so yours. Whatever you need to complete your magic you'll with there help. So, I'll see you soon~" She gave him a motherly smile and Kyuuten opened his mouth to thank them once more but shook his head and smirked. "I'll save it for the other side~" With that the snowy haired wizard stepped into the cave and disappeared into the shadows.

In all fairness I said that yesterday and I did work on one...it's just not finished though I've been on a roll this morning typing stuff so it shouldn't be too much longer.

KHR! | The Enduring Flame

Will be working on a post later today so let's keep up this pace guys~

KHR! | The Enduring Flame

@AmaterasuMeet the assistant tutor fong~ I was planning this from the beginning and couldn't wait to see what you guys thought ^.^

KHR! | The Enduring Flame

To say Luca was enjoying his time with Yuki would have been an understatement. Though he was rightfully intimidated by Yuki's performance at the bell ringing game Luca couldn't help but smile the whole time. Somehow in the midst of his many failures at the game stands he managed to win her a small stuffed animal. Yuki seemed truly happy to be with him and Luca will never be sure what he did to earn her affections. He really didn't think he deserved it...or that he'd ever be able to return them. A bell rung throughout the festival signaling the start of the celebration's finale. "Ah, they're starting. Let's go watch. The prez did promise us the best viewing spot~" Luca smiled bashfully.

Sure enough Asuka was true to her word. The pair sat the perfect distance away on a small hill that elevated them just enough to have a completely unobscured view. The show was a dazzling spectacle. It lit up the night sky as if it was still an early afternoon. "Heh, I don't know why I even considered skipping the festival. I never get tired of the beautiful fire-" Luca's voice drifted off as he gazed at the girl next to him. Yuki's pure white hair caught the colors of the fireworks brilliantly and he couldn't help but think how pretty she- Suddenly a strange firework caught his attention. It's purple hue wasn't like any of the other pyrotechnics. "H-Hey Yuki-" His current question was answered when Yuki spoke but plenty more. She took his hand and guided him towards the shrine ignoring his fervent questions about what was waiting their for them...

Though the shrine was being illuminated briefly by the fireworks show every couple of seconds it was still very hard to see. "Yuki...w-what are we doing here?" It was not the white haired girl that responded but rather the environment itself. Suddenly, the lanterns around the shrine sparked to life and and lit the area. A figure atop the shrine came into view and leapt from it's perch. Luca felt something lightly land on his head then use it as a spring board as they tumbled back and landed skillfully in front of the pair, leaving on his backside and rubbing his head. "My apologies to have summoned you away from your quality time together. Your reflexes are lacking young Vongola~

"A-A baby? Who talks like monk!?" Luca blinked bewilderingly at the small boy with the monkey on his head. "Your questions will be answered soon enough, Luca Yuuki. The rest should be arriving shortly right Miss Volkov~?" He said referring to the footsteps that could be heard approaching the shrine. Luca looked to Yuki but something told him she wasn't who the infant was talking to.

@RaijinslayerSure no problem

W&T: FT RP!

Kyuuten fidgeted in his master's grasp as he was dragged away. "Hold on, shouldn't I pack some stuff? You don't usually train next door to luxurious inns..." He fell silent when he heard the familiar voice call after them. Kyuuten blinked as Merrian rolled out the guild, a bag packed and ready to go. Orin stopped and lifted his student onto his feet, turning to face the woman in the wheelchair. "Uh hey Merrian. You going somewhere? Whoa!" Kyuuten juggled the key she passed to for a second before it rested safely in his palm. When Merrian announced that she'd be coming with to train him as well Kyuuten couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. He was barely going to survive Orin's training; if Merrian adds in her regimen Kyuuten might not even make it back to the guild let alone the GMG. "You're giving me Pheobe? Are you sure you don't still need her? I mean, I know you've recovered a lot but...wait why give this to me?"

Orin lowered his gaze to Merrian as she wheeled beside him. "I have no objections at all madam. I quite welcome your contributions. Truthfully, I wouldn't have had any clue how to effectively help the boy with his spirit magic. Well then, shall we be going?" The towering man started off towards the mountain near Crocus. Kyuuten followed after staring at the Key of the Proxy. Looking forward at his two teachers he couldn't help but smile despite the trials ahead of him. They make a scary team but with their help I'll definitely reach a new level~

@chukklehed

W&T: FT RP!

Well if Merrian's going to be helping Kyuuten she'll have a little company~ Now, who wants to mentor Reina?

W&T: FT RP!

What the hell was he doing? It wasn't like the snowy haired mage to just sit around doing nothing. The GMG was in two weeks and he hand't done much training or taken any jobs. Kyuuten was a blur as he flew through the halls of Harpie's Wing using Meteor. "I've gotta power up for the games quick. What should I do? Pucsh ups? A five mile run? Drink some horrible concoction of fitness products? Argh that's not enough!" Kyuuten barreled over the second floor railing and in his haste crashed through one of the tables below.Without missing a beat the Starbird was up and heading towards the door, the furious jeers of his guildmates falling on deaf ears. "Whatever I do I gotta make it count. Then I'll show everyone what Harpie's Wing Shining Sun can d-!" Kyuuten's voice slipped into a pained gasp of fear as he opened the guild doors to the figure towering outside them.

"Well well, I see you're as energetic as ever my young pupil. I assume learning a spell you're master had not given you permission to is quite the thrill!" The man that filled the threshold of the guild's sizable doors loomed over Kyuuten menacingly. "Wait, I can explain! It was kind of a unique circumstance! Please have mercy!!" The Celestial wizard prepared himself for his eminent punishment. The hulking figure's muscles bulged and it seemed his clothing was on the verge of bursting. "Defying your master is the last straw! I hope you're ready...your new training shall be intense but you'll come out of it with your head held high and perhaps a body to rival my own!" Under a dazzling light the man's shirt finally gave out and shred from his torso. Kyuuten stared on in utter shock. This man was his master...

After replacing his torn clothing the giant man and Kyuuten sat down as the young wizard tried to catch up to what just happened. "I'm confused Master Orin. So, I'm not in trouble and...you're going to train me? You're not mad that I learned Altairis without your blessing?" Orin folded his arms and nodded justly. It was an odd image. Such a large man in a relatively small chair and the surrounding guild members looking on just as bewildered as his student. "Forbidding you from learning Altairis was just a milestone. Magic is an ever growing art but only if you know where to draw the line and when to CRUSH THAT LINE WITH YOUR OWN FISTS!" Kyuuten gave a sigh of exasperation as his teacher mellow dramatically clenched his fists for emphasis. "I've gotten to know you well enough to know that you only push the limits of your abilities for the right reasons. I think it's about time we got back to your Heavenly Body training and finally use what we crafted for you. I think I've also come up with a solution to the problem you've been having with your Celestial Unity." Kyuuten was on his feet in an instant. "This is great! Once I master this training then I'll be unstoppable at the games." Orin looked at his pupil and smiled wryly. If you can master it...you're in for a hellish two weeks Rallis but I know you can get through it~ The towering man rose to his feet and took hold of Kyuuten by the back of his collar dragging him towards the door. "Then if you're ready we'll be on our way lad!"
