Travelling Down the Road

[Auroth]

The sun burned brightly down upon the road....the people hurrying about on Motorcycles, Cars and even Chocobos. Trade between the cities has been rather increased as of late...and as such the High Road was now heaviliy travelled upon. The sun was about Noon, the hottest hour of the day as merchants and travellers walked across the burning dirt of the High Road. Around a few Shinra SOLDERs and Youth League members were argueing nearby, about how the road should be used by Shinra or the Youth League. Luckily, no violence was used as the travellers just watched a few brief moments of the arguement and just passed by without incident. The road itself was rather busy as well...people going left in rigth in all sorts of manner to make it to Luca or Mushroom Road.

Among these figures, Auroth walked towards Mushroom Rock...currently just coming back from Luca after observing a few things there. He didn't know where he was heading or why he should go down this road...since he had no motivation to...But the senses in his head told him something important regarding the two dark figures and possibly the true reason (Or so Auroth believed) the two worlds collided was somehow down this road. Quickly hiding his weapons from the soldiers, he merely walked down the hot road...his face bearing that arrogant smile with light purple eyes.....

Zwen sat by the roadside, his wierd colored eyes scanning every person who passes by. Most of them didn't have much with them but the occasional rich person who passes by will find they have some jewellery or their wallets and purses missing by the time the reach their destination.

Just as he was going to grab some lunch, Zwen decided to get one last sucker. The opportunity came when some smartly dressed guy in white passed by (Auroth).

Zwen stood up and casually started walking behind this person. Tiptoeing, Zwen reached up to get try get the earring of the man without touching him using the help of a tair of needlenosed plyers.

Auroth looked into his mirrors....seeing a man behind him trying to pick off his earings...The nerve of him. But he simply smiled to himself....his purple eyes glowing darkly in the light. Perhaps today would not be boring after all. Silently he placed his hands in his pockets....not letting any signs of reation occur. Then he steadily began to increase his wakling speed....but he increased slow enough for Zwen to be out of touch from him and not too fast it looked suspicious. That was a little trick he leanred from his times with the turks.....and boy was he good at it...Anyway he then he quickly turned back abrupty...his face bearing a arrogant smile as some invisible blade cut across the air at Zwen.

This was none other then Auroth's blade.....the Mirror blades.....They were said to have the power to go and reflect spells with a 50% chance of doing so. But another unqiue power the swords posses was the fact that they were clear. They were able to easily blend into any enviorment thanks to their reflective nature. As such...when swung fast and hard...tehy can appear to be invisible.....

Anyway, after the attakc he sent he merely looked at Zwen....a dark smile on his face as his left hand slowly made way into his pocket....and his left sword seemingly dissapeared as due to it's nature. ANyway, he just smiled arrogantly at the thief....his face composed and relax as he started off with a arrogant tone.

"Now then....you sought to steal me now?" He said with a dark smile "That wouldn't be the smartest thing to do....I'll tell you what...I'll let you have the next move...."

[Asaragi]

ooc: are your mirrors constantly arround you? and zwen's not a man! he's a 14 year old kid!

<Huh?> The feeling of something being wrong triggered in Zwen's mind. Something in the air flashed at him, reflecting off the sun.

Reacting quickly, Zwen twisted his body to the right. A gash appeared on his cloak.
<What was that...>

The answer appeared as the blade slowed down, and Zwen saw a reflection of himself on the blade.
<A mirror blade? Feh!>

Ignoring the man's words, Zwen spun his cloak around himself, becoming as invisible as the sword. There was an occasional shimmer of air at a random spot of the cloak which usually made it all the more worse for his opponents, for they won't be able to make out which side of his body shimmered. They could think that the shimmer was at Zwen's chest but it could be just the side of his left arm, making it easy for Zwen to evade.

Now Zwen wasn't going to give up so easily. He didn't need the man killed, just incapacitated at the worst. And if by chance Zwen was losing, he could always cry for help. Adults tend to favor the child more than the adult, Zwen had learnt.

Moving without a sound as he had been taught by Platime, Zwen jumped all around the man. The man most probably knew he was there through the occasional shimmer his cloak made.

Ps: here's sumthin for you. If your mirrors are all around you, they'll reflect all the shimmerings the cloak makes. I believe that'll make it harder for Auroth, correct? =grins evilly=

[Auroth]

OoC; Auroth isn;t a idiot......He set the mirrors up to Help Him.....not you....Also..to make yourself reflect...you need training to how to do it...

Auroth merely smiled at the Boy.....so rash to fight...and yet so very pathetic in his technique. Auroth quicly looked at his mirrors....and then quickly drew his lighting spell into his hand. Slowly it formed around his fingers....and then suddenly fired into all the mirrors.....Aside from hitting the mirrors...they will also bounce off. The lighting then just bounced off in all directions....and with Zwen where he is...he will get attacked by a hell bunch of Lightings. His white cloak moved soflt in the wind as the Lightings jumped......his body not getting hit by the lightings thanks to his placement of the mirrors. Why even if Zwen did move a mirror....all Auroth would do is just move to another location.

Quickly he brought his blades up and looked around him. Silently he placed the mirror blades around him....just so that he could keep on the look out for any signs of the enemy coming by. Quickly he loooked at the blades and around him...hounding for the shimmer. His time as a Turk allowed him the ability to have great perception...and soon enough Zwen will be found....Sooner or Later......

All the while, Auroth merely kept his face bearing that arrogant smile...as if not afriad of what Swen will do. Auroth has been through much worse then what Zwen has been through...seeing as how Auroth was a Turk and Zwen was a kid....

Quickly he looked into his blades...and saw a shimmer. Quickly and silently he turned his bakc around and jumped at the shimmer.....his blades hidden as the lighting jump0ed about. he had planned his jump perfectly so that the lighting wouldn;t hit him and he would have ample time to strike at the child. Quickly he slashed at the Shimmer....with one sword. The other quickly attacked to the right of the shimmer....because Auroth didn;t want to get hit by the lightring which was coming his way.....

[Asaragi]

ooc: huh? who needs training to reflect on mirrors...? lol. I don't want to be ur enemy OOC ok? =wink wink=

Zwen was struck on his left arm with lightning, leaving a burn mark but in an instant, that mark disappeared. Looking up, Zwen saw Auroth pounce. Zwen instantly retaliated. Out of seemingly nowhere, a short sword materialized and clashed with a mirror sword. Zwen couldn't see the mirror sword too well, but he could tell where it was from Auroth's swing. The second sword tore a gash in Zwen's right arm, but it didn't matter.

Once more concealing his blade and making sure he had his mask on, Zwen threw an M-tentacle at Auroth, using the M-tentacle as a catalyst to cast Bio 3. It would explode the moment it comes within contact of an object and the poisonous fumes will spread. At the moment, Auroth was near point blank range since he had just attacked. After he threw the M-tentacle, Zwen jumped back. Although his mask will help filter most of the poison out, he'll still get nausic if he stayed too close to the initial explosion or breathed even the slightest of fumes.

ooc: honestly, out of everyone in this forum, i rated u as possibly the strongest because of your mirrors. I then worked out my character to counter urs as much as possible. eg: using exploding catalysts instead of casting the spell itself. Don't hate me ><

[Auroth]

OoC; Lol i see.....So...I;m the strongest eh? Yes...... Don't worry about what i said earlier.....i just was having a bad day

Auroth quickly flew back...the poisen making it's way into Auroth's body. He could already feel the poison slowly go down into his body as he quickly gripped his blades together.....looking around at the last pieces of his mirrors that were on him. A good amount of the inventory he had was layed across the field....reflecting the last pieces of thuner before they dissappeared. Quickly The man gripped some of the spare glasses he had and looked at his mirrors...trying to find his opponent. Another useful fact of the mirrors was that aside from being able to reflect and do some more things, they can also reflect images. Due course the opponent might think this is helping them by hiding their position by giving away multitude of targets...but they lack the training and finnese to properly use a mirror so to speak.

Quickly he glaced around.....trying to find the shimmer of the theif. He noticed at how his blade also struck apart of the boy as he swung next to the shimmer.....Soon enough he realized the shimmer was only part of the boy.....not the entire thing. Quickly he looked up and smiled...his eyes shinning darkly in the sun. Around him, a small flock of watchers can by and sat down...intruged by the fight going on.....Why even some people were like "I'll bet 500 Gil on the mirror guy....No way, Invisible is gonna win" and etc. Anyways, he merely looked up...a dark smile on his face.

"Interesting toy you have there" Auroth began slowly, his tone arrogant even if the poison was constantly pestering him ."But i think i yhave seen past the cloak now so to speak" he soon took a short pause, a arrogant smile coming onto his face as he drew a plethroa of mirrors." ...tell me....Have you seen past my mirrors yet" he said in a arrogant tone.

Then, jus as quicly as he said it, he turned towards the shimmer, his face still bearing a semi-arrogant smile. Before hand, he noticed the shimmer fly past him, noting this in his head as he looked up and began his little speech. Anyway, quickly he threw his barrage of Mirrors at the shimmer...hoping to cut something before it faded out into invisibility again......
