I know some of you have wondered where I went...well things heated up and I had to head out..well for my trouble I took a bullet to the left side of my groin. But now I'm back and yes I'll get started on the training threads I promised.

Owan Bloodeye

Celes I don't know if you remember me but I remember you...you were a good friend and I hate to see you leave but I understand the reasons for it. Hopefully you will return with your imagination reinvigorated. But if that should not come to pass it has been an honor to know and RP with you. I wish you well with whatever it is you do.

It seems mine fell off the face of the earth...lol.

Or if anyone needs a crazy TG let me know.

oh I know...lol. I am patient..just throwing a DM tantrum. Us old folks do that sometimes you know. At least its not like a few years ago when it took near to forever to get a bio approved..everyone was busy..lol.

thanks Jason, Christine...I'll hold out..lol.

Seriously though...I've looked on the BT website and I'm not finding a list of classes or anything of the like of what is needed for each step of training..if someone could point me in the right direction..it would be greatly appreciated.

patience?...what is this patience that you speak of? I demand results...lol. No really I understand..I understand it takes time to be approved..I just wanted to make sure it got to where it needed to go thats all.

"They let you be a blademaster? Not only is your face as blighted as an Andoran's, you're twice as worthless."

Llugh heard the words and let them slide off the void. Aran was not the first to use insults in a fight to rile him and certianly would not be the last. However he would learn like the rest that they had no effect.

Boar Rushes Down the Mountain was paired with Tower of the Morning to drive him back then came The Kingfisher takes a Silverback making a light score on Aran's upper thigh Moon Rises over Water adding a new slash to ventilate his shirt being to slow. But Llugh had to give him gruding credit he blocked more then he took. To his credit he was holding up well. However it was time to show the lad why he had the name "of the Strong Arm". Years spent as a blacksmith's apprentice had given him the strength and the power to batter almost any opponent.

Bundling Straw was followed by Stones Falling from a Cliff. Then the next set Low Wind Rising followed by Striking the Spark. Llugh hammered at his blades time and time again using all the strength at his command. This was a Master's duel there was no holding back. This was to test the student at ever limit and beyond. He saw Aran's arms begin to droop and become sluggish under the hammering avalanche.

He came down on Aran like a hammer to an anvil.

Leaf Floating in the Breeze was followed by Lightning of Three Prongs. He pushed the man back taking him to his limits. Water Flows Downhill quickly went into Parting the Silk followed by Wind and Rain. It was time to end this.

Hummingbird Kisses the Honeyrose. He let Aran block it bringing his arms up to block. The River Undercuts the Bank...He turned his blade sideways not to hit him with the edge and watched as Aran double over and fall to the ground. He walked over and kicked Aran's swords away from him looking down at him and shook his head.

Llugh sheathed his sword and knelt down to check the man and motioned for a couple of other Guards to take him to the infirmary.

Llugh looked over to where Rosheen was watching and saw Cairma and Aran dancing. He nodded to Cairma when she looked up. She had been a former protege and it was good to see that she was doing well. He turned his attention back to his partner.

"Ah yes it seems my former protege is doing rather well. But then I would expect nothing less from her. But now back to you a much more lovely topic I would say."

He winked at her falling back into the game again. Muscles that had been tense for so long started to relax just a bit. He had been in a constant state of readiness for so long he didn't know how to truely relax anymore, but here there was little threat to him or anyone else. Unless the shadowspawn had gotten a huge dose of courage to attack Tar Valon itself which he highly doubted.

"So tell me. If this were a common dance and not one of such ettiquette..would it be unwise for me to ask for another dance?"

hmm...question...I sent in a bio for a bt char...but haven't gotten a response...anyone know if its been recieved yet?

Llugh held his sword ready watching his opponent. The remarks had angered Llugh..but he drew up the void and allowed it to flow away. This was a test of skill...of all the knowledge and training that a Guard had assumed and learned throughout years of experience. The rank of Blademaster was the epitome of a swordsman. The one thing that all serious warriors strove to achieve.

He watched Aran closely...to his credit his opening move was The Creeper Embraces the Oak. Which was a solid opening to feel out one's opponent. However..not all battles were won with caution. The cautious approach was a good approach but not always the best approach.

Llugh had learned to many times that suprise as well as caution was the best approach. He didnt' know if Aran had any true fighting experience other then training...it was time to see just what this man was made of.

Thistledown Floats on the Whirlwhind was the opening followed by Cat Dances on the Wall. And the game was afoot. Let the dice land where they fall.

Llugh fell into step with Rosheen easily. Dancing was second nature to a Saldean and he had had plenty of chances for practice. She was a graceful dancer he would give her due credit for that. Though on second thought..in the dress she was wearing he shouldn't have been suprised.

He had heard rumors about this one. That she was unwomanly. However what he saw before him today told him otherwise. He was silent for part of the dance just enjoying the atmosphere.

"So what brings a beauty like you out on such a night?"

He knew it was a corny line..yet all other words had seem to have deserted him at that point.

Llugh walked through the Yards nodding to the other Guards as he walked by. Many were unfamiliar. A lot had changed while he was away.

"I am Aran, the prettiest man here and a duel away from blademaster, who would challenge my claim!?"

Llugh looked up ahead where he heard the voice comming from and shook his head. The impetiousness of youth. The man was dressed like a bloody peacock. A duel was a test of skills..not a fashion show. However Llugh noticed that none of the bladesmasters that were currently there had stepped up to the challenge. Llugh shook his head and checked his blade. It was time for someone to teach this impudent Guard a lesson in humility.

He stepped up to the edge of the circle and saluted with his sword.

"I Llugh of the Strong Arm, Blademaster of the Tower challenge your claim to the right and rank of blademaster."

It was time to roll the dice...

Llugh....

the word to describe him...tenacious...he will follow his duty to the utmost of his ability..a stauch ally to his friends and a scourge from hell to his enemies. Everything he does he puts everything he has into..above and beyond the call of duty.

Llugh looked in the mirror and shook his head. It had been so long since he had been in anything formal that he thought he looked ridiulous.

He had been out traveling on the roads for a long time. Uniforms were hardly more then travel clothes. He pulled his hair back into a ponytail and secured it with a leather thong.

He had went and bought the clothes he was wearing a week ago when he had heard about the party.

Black boots, black pants, black tunic, black longsleeve shirt, and a black cloak. The black shirt had black thread going up the sleaves in the forms of blackvines going up the sleeves and the pants were the same way also. The cloak was trimed with gray cloth. He left his weapons in his room..He doubted he would need them.

He left out of the Tower in silent thought. He doubted he would know many if any at all at this party. There were many new faces that he had not seen before.

He followed the crowds as they were makin

g there way to there. He walked in the door and surrendered his cloak. He looked around for anyone he knew without luck. Then he noticed a beauty in a very interesting dress. It was made up of different fabrics and workmanship. He saw the part of her head was shaved and the rest combed over.

Llugh walked over and stopped in front of Rosheen offering her his hand and arm.

"may I have this dance?:

Llugh looked in the mirror and shook his head and looked at himself. He had been away on extended missions that he didn't even recognize himself in uniform anymore. He belted on his sword and adjusted his cloak. He looked like a overdressed peacock considering what he had been wearing lately. However he had been recalled to the Tower to take back up his duties as a Trainer. He would have a lot of new trainees soon and it was his job to get them prepared for whatever was to come.

He smiled remembering his training when he had first come to the Tower. Matalina had been hard..but that had only been a small part of what was in store for him. He had come to find out what true training and hard work was under Akira during his initial training in the Path of the Blade. Cuts, bruises, broken bones..these were day to day things in his discipline. You simply lived through it and learned.

It was partially why most gave him a rather large berth. It wasn't that he was violent, but he didn't back down either. It was also probably why he hadn't been bonded yet.

He made sure his sword was at the right angle across his back and nodded heading out the door. It was good to be back.
