Jade

[Ashoova Celest]

Ashoova streached as she got up for a new day in the lovely world of Jade. Jade Mirrored the world called earth but with a few distinct differences. Here in Jade other then minor modern convieniances (TV, Dishwasher, Vaccum, cars, ect.) the world was ruled compleatly by magic. Modern weapons of warfare were not even heard of in this place and time where battles were fought and decided buy the clash of swords or thump of a war hammer.

Ashoova was lucky enough to be the Master smith and main supplyer of weapons to the surounding area as well as the Librairian and Keeper. of the Museum Of Ancient and Mystical Objects. (it has a library that is used by many magic users to for reserch. Some of the book are... well... lets just say they don't like to be opened). It was a lovely spring day and Ashoova the Nine tailed Kitsune that she was Adorned her usual wear and headed for her Forge to Continue work on a particularly hard Item she had been working on the past few days. Slung across her sholder was her Favorite weapon her Bleeding Soul Hammer. It was forged with half of the users soul and could not be broken (or at least she hasn't found anything that will break it yet. And yes she did try to kill it. Why? Your guess is as good as mine.).

As she got to the forge she streached out her muscles and flexed a few times. Normally she did not look to musclular more like she was simply well toned. However, when she flexed the true depth of her muscles were shown and could put a body building dragon to shame. (she doesn't flex much around her friends cus frankly she a little ashamed of her muscles. they're not very "lady like"). Though it was still only 6 in the mourning Ashoova would begin to bang away at the pice of Death Metal (increadibly strong, hard to melt, and hard to work with.) Trying in vein to get it into the shape she wanted it. Finally getting fed u with working on the cold steel (she avoids the use of fire when ever possible) she Desided to smelt it first.

Grasping the metal with some tongs she effotlessly lifted the 8 cubic 20 ton pice of metal on to the smelting area above her kiln. (modified to get as hot as a supernova if needed.) She turned the kiln on half heat and watched as the metal quicklly melted and formed into a molton bar. Placing heat resistant gloves on her hands shhe let the metal solidify just enough before she drew it out cooled it.

Moving to the front of her store/house/forge. She flipped the sign from closed to open and sat at the ounter and awaited her buisness. behind her on the wall a plaque stated. "If you can't lift it you can't buy it" and directally below was another one that said. "I am not responible for any injuries you may get while in my shope Upon walking in you state that you are compleatly responsible to anything that may befall or Fall on you."

[Sasayaki]

Meanwhile in an interdimensional space a figure who is only seen as a shadow,  Human shaped except for what could be made out as fox ears and a tail, the only thing about it that isn't "shadowy" would be a pair of bright Orange fox eyes glowing, this interdimensional space appeared to be nothing more than darkness and purple light appearing to flow in a wavelike pattern...
A voice is heard... almost echoing, "Hmm, what world should I visit now? Well I must do something... ahh, here!"
The figure opens it most slightly as a soft, but bright violet flame comes out and dances for about a minute, afterwards splitting into 10 flames dancing around in a circle while the kanji for "Heshioru" or "Break" appears in the center of it for a brief moment, afterwards it disappears and all the flames come together to form a circle of bright purple flame with the appearance of whatever was behind it shattering within the circle and total darkness now filling it...
The shadowy figure then walks through, putting one of it's hands up and halfway closing it's eyes to the "bright" sunlight, seeing this other being quietly finds a place to hide and observe in silence, eyes showing an instant of surprise upon noticing it to be a Kyuubi-Kitsune, perfectly hidden it continues to watch quietly but intensely...

[Sirus]

Just on the outskirts, a building built with a mixture of stone wood and something unknown, Sirus walked out stretching allowing his quills to extend. With a world domintated by Swords and other Such melee based weapons, there had to be one with the knowladge to teach those in the art of using such weapons, And Sirus Was that one person.
Closing the door to his rather small "home" part of the building he continued to stretch, many clicks comeing from the old hedgehogs frame.
once done he proceeded to the main front of the building, sliding 2 a large wooden doors either side, a Wide array of training equipment and weapons within.

Moving the equipment into their correct positions and checking over all the weapons he taught with he began prepping todays lesson, due to an "unknown cause" making people, specifically younglings to disappear, he thought it best to Teach defense and evasion.

On the wall at the back, 2 long Slender blade were mounted, unique, and near impossable to duplicate, these were Sirus' own Swords, the Scimitars. Many of his Students had been Awe Struck at the sheer size and yet light wight of the swords. But they all knew that they were purley there for show, and layed dormant...as far as they knew.

As he finished off his program he kept on with his checks as he awaitied the first few students of the day.

[Samui]

Samui opened his eyes. His surroundings were a blur to him. "Nnn..." He stood up, stretching. "Gah..." he winced lightly in pain. "Ahh..." Once his sight returned nearly to normal, he looked around. "Pyrova?..." He was alone. This can't be good. What became of her? Or everyone else for that matter? He looked at himself. Blood stained his light blue fur. And he didn't need to look to see the mark that was still on his neck. I should find the healing springs.

Samui started walking around, limping slightly. He looked around again. This place was unfamiliar to him. There were buildings and places he had never seen before. This isn't Kitsune Island...let alone Vultopia. Where did she send me? And what did she do with everyone else? He continued to explore the area, searching for someone who could answer his questions.

[Kynelongtail]

In the ally near Ashoova's place, a bright flash lit it up for about a second, and from said flash, appeared (moreso fell out) an orange kitsune with one 15' 7" long tail. he picked himself up and looked around, "Well, this isn't any place I know,"  he said to himself and proceeded to look around, once out of the alley, he knew he wasn't anywhere near his home plane. "Oh damn it. i hate it when those things backfire," he grumbled to himself, "Well, I better try and find a way home," he continued and looked at ashoova's shop, "and that looks like as good a place as any to start," and walked into her shop.

[Ashoova Celest]

Ashoova looked up as the new comer entered her shop. "Well hello there is there any thing inparticular I can Help you find? Armor, A shield, Weaponry?" I sell all sorts and IF you place An order with you measurments I can make you a custom fit one of a kind piece of the FInenst melee equipment you will ever own. Oh but please do Mind the signs. because If you cannot lift and weild it to some extent I will not sell it to you at all." She moved the white hot metal bit back over to her anval And pounded it in to basic shape before placing it back in the inferno and waling around the counter to help her new customer.

However, SHe did find it strange that Sirus Had not come in yet for his Bi monthly Check up on the masterpieces he weilded. The swords she had made him were probably some if not the Finest pair of swords she had ever made. In fact, Such was their perfection she Regarded them as works of art more then simply tools of death.

Looking at the 15' plus tail she tapped her chin for a moment. "I'm sorry sir but could you posibly contain that Tail of yours I don't want you to nick it on something or ligt it on fire. Just a little hazard if you know what I mean."

[Sasayaki]

"hmm, this could be interesting, there is no doubt that her skill in smithing could surpass even the best..."
*still in the shadowy form she quickly sneaks closer for a better look*
looking into her pack she peers upon a glowing red metal which from time to time will let off a golden light instead of red, though only for a second or so, while looking at it she says "I wonder if she could even work with such an element as this?"

[Sirus]

Sirus checked the time realising he had done everything extrordinarily quickly, he gazed upon the Scimitars, unlike most weapons ashoova or any other Smith would of made, Sirus' swords were differant. Made from an alloy that at the time was new to Ashoover. Sirus also had a hand in the making of them, As these 2 swords were infused with Spritual esscence.
The twin swords were certainly unique.
He took them off the wall placing them in their sheaths attaching each to the side of his trousers.
He closed the doors for a moment and headed for Ashoovas shop.

[Kynelongtail]

"Hi, I'm fine in the weapons department," he said, making a small spark between his fingers, "But I would like to know, where am I? I've mis-fired on a teleportation spell, and frankly i could have ended up anywhere," he said, and wrapped his tail around himself several times, leaving only the normal length for most anyones tail free.

[Samui]

Samui continued to wander through the town. Such a quiet place...Where is everybody? This surely doesn't look like a ghost town. He eventually came across a weapons shop. Perhaps someone in there could help me? He walked inside and looked around.

[Rocky the Echidna]

((l changed my post >< had a better idea))

In a small house within the settlment ((sowwy couldn't work out if it was a town, village etc)) activity began to arise as the day began to begin. Rocky dashed round the small house clumsily, still half asleep as she got ready. An older echidna sat at the kitchen table and watched the girl, slightly puzzled as she dashed around, "calm down Rochuex" [/span]Thunder chucked, shaking his head slightly, [span style=\'color:yellow\']"what's got into you this morning?"[/span]

Rocky skidded to a stop, catching her side on the doorway, "owie >< w-what? oh!! I don't wanna be late! I'm not getting shouted at again ><" she walked over to the table and began to scoff down a piece of fruit that her guardian had laid down her breakfast.

Thunder sighed, [span style=\'color:yellow\']"i thought I told you to tell Sirus it was my fault you were late" [/span]
"I *munch* did!"
[span style=\'color:yellow\']"Rochuex don't speak with your mouth full"

She looked at him, then swallowed what she was eating, "I'm gonna be late though... and I don't want to be ><"

[Ashoova Celest]

Ashoova continues talking to the first customer with the extrodianrily long tail. "Ah yes the teleportation spells are tricky YOu are in my shop obvously in the relm of jade. Jade is a place where magic rules and all races live in somewhat harmony. Excuse me for a second." She moves back to the metal bar she had been working on and re heats it slightly. WHen it glowed a lovely red color she took her detailing hammer and pounded the bar in to the shape of a wickedly curved blade. She worked fast and her hands were a blur of motion as she set jewls and adorned the weapon. Finally wrapping the handle in sove supple leather she cooled it and layed it on the shelf for sale. "There we go."

She then noticed the new commer and smiled at him "What can I do for you today? Looking for a weapon? Pehaps some armor of an enchanted item? Mind the signs though. OH that reminds me..." She moved back to the new weapon and lifted the eyepatch covering her right eye. A burst of flame shot out and encircled the weapon. Lowering the patch again the flame whirled around the weapon and set into the grooves along the blade. "There a pirfect armor incinerator."

[Sirus]

Sirus smirked as he stood by the door watching ashoover "That trick is always my faveriot" He walked in past the newcomers over to the counter "Did you get my shipment of new training blades yet?"

[Kynelongtail]

"Ah, thanks," he said, pulling a small orb from his robe. He tapped it twice, and a holographic projection came from it. A map of the astral realm and it's primes. "Hmm, damn, I don't see it on here. Must not be on the map yet," he said, tapping it again, turning off te projection and putting the orb away.

As he did this, he watched her little enchanting trick. "Hmm, I see you're a fire adept. I am a master pyromagus myself, and I've worked with smiths before. would you care for any help in the forge?"

[Ashoova Celest]

Ashoova smiles as Sirus enters. "I am indeed I have them in the back. And I was wondering when you would come by. Let me just go grab the box. ONe second sir i'll be right with you." she said to the long tailed one.

SHe moved into the back and heaved up a massive crate and brought it back to the front of the store. "Here you go. All dulled yet still unbreakable. I even added some wodden ones this time for the beginers. Oh and do you want me to do that check up on your blades now? Remember check up and minor repairs are free." she said to Sirus smiling warmly.

Finally she turned back to the other person. "I could you an aprentice actually. I'll pay well but you'll have to do everything I say alright? But first, I'm Ashoova otherwise known as "The Smith" nice to meet you." SHe brushed some soot off her hand and extened it to him.

[Kynelongtail]

"Alright, I can do that. Name's Kyne," he said and shook her less sooty hand. "I'll gladly work for you, but I do need to work on finding a way home sometime. they won't worry to badly about me, this happens a lot. I'll let them know i'm safe soon."

[Sirus]

Sirus looked in the crate, "ah these are perfect, as always Ash, And Sure you can take a look at my swords, you wont find anything wrong with them as always" he chuckled as he undid the scabbarbs from his trousers placing them onto the counter.

He then looked at Kyne having heard the conversation And chuckled "you will get a good work out working for Ashoover freind, shes no light wight" He also spotted the other newcomer "lots of out of towners today.."

[Samui]

Samui cleared his throat and spoke up, "Er, hello." He looked around at everyone else. "I was actually wondering if anyone could tell me where I am?"

[Rocky the Echidna]

Thunder laughed, shaking his head as he watched the young girl finsihed eating, "you'll only be late if you eat that fast and you end up makng yourself sick. Now come on, off with you upstairs to have a wash and then I need you to do me a errand before you leave"[/span]

Rocky stood up and nodded, "hehe ok Sir^^" she giggled nd ran of upstairs, doing as she was told. Thunder sighed, [span style=\'color:yellow\']"I just don't don't know where she gets the energy...." [/span]

When the young girl returned downstairs, Thunder handed her a piece of paper [span style=\'color:yellow\']"here, now I want you to go Ashoova's shop and pick up your Father's sword, I finally asked her to repair the handle on it-" before he was able to finish, Rocky had dashed of shouting 'Bye!' and ws already out of the door. He stood there for a minute andblinked before shaing his head.

[Sasayaki]

*Stands up, still in shadow form, and gets out a book that was 'borrowed' from the grand library of the "Other world", and quietly looks through it for something before quickly shutting it and putting it away, afterwards reveiling her presence she walks into the shop and looks at Ashoova*

[Sirus]

Sirus looked at Samui scratching his chin, unlike ashoover, he didnt wear a patch over his scared eye, and standing at 6"2 Sirus was a slightly daunting sight. "Well where you are standing right now is Ashoovers shop , which is in the city of <<please insert name of city here>>. And this city resides in the world of Jade." He scratched a quill then picked up his box "And..thats about it. Anyway i have a class to teach" He turned around "Thanks for these Ash, ill pick up my swords later" And with that he walked outheading back to his dojo

[Ashoova Celest]

"Sirus is right of course we are in the relm of jade and in the outskirts of the city of Booktal. OH and SIrus I'll stop by the DOjo during my lunch break to return the Blades of Beauty (what she named the swords). Alright now since you work for my now Kyne I have your first job. First put these gloves on." SHe threw him some heavely enchanted thick leather gloves. "And go into the room in the back marked the forge of melting souls and pull out a soul that has found peace. You'll be abel to tell from the blue glow and the absence of screaming. I need you to bring that to me. Oh and don't forget to close and lock the door on both enterance and exit. Here's the key. if you lose the key while you're in there knock three times pause then knock twice more and I'll come let you out."

Deftly Ashoova fliped one of the swords out of its scabard and balanced it on one claw. She tapped the blade and it started to spin. As it picked up speed she listned to the cry the whind made as it was cleaved by the edge of the blade named Soothslayer. Smiling she replaced it in it's scabard and took out the second Blade of Beauty named the Bell of Bliss. The reason for this is because as she flicked it as soft ring rang out across the land that sounded like a nightingales song. Smiling contently she places it back in it's sheath as well before setting them on a palet of velvet under the counter for safty.

Noticing the other new comer she smiled at her. "Hello there and what is it I can do for you today? Looking for a weapon? Perhaps armor of enchanted trinket? or are we doing a custom job today? and actually that reminds me.... Give me just a second." She moved into the back and took out a stunningly lage sword that crackled and glowed a yellow color. "Here's his sword. I almost forgot that today is the day Thunder is comming to pick up his Chain Cleaver." She placed the sword an a hanging device over the counter and returned to the two customers infront of her. "Sorry a little busy with the custom orders. Now then how can I help you two."

[Samui]

Samui nodded. "I see," he responded. "Seems like a pleasant place. Though, do you know of any clinics around here? I was kind of involved in...an incident."

[Sirus]

Sirus heard the sound his Scimitars gave out and smiled as he headed for his Dojo.
By this time many of his other students were waiting for his return on in perticular was a young brown and somewhat cocky Falcon by the name of Sai. Unlike the other students Sai wasnt interested in anything else except looking good with a sword. Which quite often led to him into trouble with Sirus.
Sai was abonoxious pushy and rude, and yet was acctully skilled with a blade.

He was standing shadow boxing around, impatiantly waiting for Sirus.

[Rocky the Echidna]

Rocky read the piece of paper which her guardian had given her. It wasn't much, just the receipt he had been given by Ashoova. She stopped as she soon reached the fork in the road and looked up, one path headed downwards and towards the forge, whereas the other carried straight on heading towards the dojo. Without having to think twice, she carried on heading towards the dojo, "i'll pick it up later^^ he won't mind" and with that she stuffed the paper into her pocket and broke out into a run.
