You stand in a cavernous open space, a simple and sparce white room. It's pristine lacquered panels run up and down the wall interspersed with precise onyx sensors criss-crossing the room in a grid like pattern regulating the temperature and humidity. Around the edges of the room sit all manner of state of the art fitness stations, from complex simulations to rung of carefully maintained weights and dumbbells.
In each corner of the room are the hydration stations, vending machines carrying all manner of flashy health products and clear mountain water.
A small number of muscled men and women are littered throughout the room, focusing intently on their own workouts. Every now and then you can hear the grunt of extreme effort intermingled with the pulsating rhythmic beat of the latested Gallentean pop music, the occasional Amarr hymn, or the rare and somewhat discordant sounds of Matari bands.
In the carter of the room is a wide open space, a number of consoles mark out each section, they allow for a number of settings allowing for selection of all manner of popular sports recognised throughout New Eden.

Crownrule walks into the gymnasium and looks around in awe, he inspects every detail of the gym with precision. He walks over to one of the consoles and looks through the settings until he finds sword training.
*inhale* *exhale* "I can do this how hard can it be? Its just a swinging swords around." Crownrule hits the panel amd sees holographic images pop up and come at him, surprised he pulls out his swords and swings at the images quickly but carelessly. One of the images dodges the sword and hits Crownruke sending a shock throughout his body. "AH!" Crownrule yelps as the shock surges through him, then another image hits him whike he is stunned, then another and another and another until they stopcoming at him. Crownrule stands up and curses under his breath, he picks the swords back up and begins to twirl them but he drops one on the ground, he goes to pick it back up but he notices someone behind him.

Thal picks up one of the swords and says
"Like this, with your wrist and fingers "
Thal twirls the blade until it's very hard to see. He stops it in a second and hands it back to Crownrule.
"You try."

Crownrule takes the sword from Thal and tries to twirl it like him, but hes drops it again.
"So how long have you known to use the sword Thal? If you dont mind me asking." Crownrule asks looking at thal. Crownrule shifts his balance into a relaxed stance and waits for Thals answer.

Thal moves over to the console. He inputs a code and seven holograms appear.
"To be capable, ten years."
The holograms rush Thal all at once. He leaps over the attackers and cuts one in the back. He draws a second blade and blocks two strikes. He goes into a flurry and spins through three more holograms. Two more strike but Thal sidesteps and slices them both. A final hologram strikes, Thal slashes his attackers blade and it shatters. He finishes his foe
"That took a little longer to learn."
"War is holy my son.....you are war's harbinger, you hath the furry of heaven at your back." Swordmaster Tiber to Thal.

"I see......well in that case sir I am ready to learn from you, where do we start? Crownrule asks looking at his new master with a new sense of pride "ive always wanted to learn but never knew from where to start, as I told you my father died at an early age and left me with my late mother to take care of me." Crownrule then looks over Thals shoulder and sees the other people practicing, he notices how elegant they are in their stride how they make the blade flourish and the power in their strikes, he also notices a scar from an implant on one of the fighters. "Do you see what is wrong with that one sir? Crownrule asks pointing to the man with the slightly visible scar on his neck.

Thal looks over too where Crownrule indicates. He looks at the man's scar.
" Every soldier has a scare young one. Weather it be physical or mental, no one escapes battle without a scar"
Thal removes his left glove to reveal a cybernetic arm.
"You and I serve a greater purpose, we are the Lord's angles of vengeance, the sword of the empress. Therefore, greater sacrifices must be made. Through those sacrifices, we gain honor."
Thal puts his glove back on and puts away his two swords
" The first pace of your training is a question, why do you want to learn swordplay? "
Thal sits down on a bench and awaits his pupils answer.

Crownrule says not noticing that he is now in his masters face, giving him a long gaze that shows commitment, loyalty and all else, perseverance. "That sir is why I want to learn swordplay."

Thal moves to the corner and pulls out a bag. He returns yo Crownrule. He puts it down and pulls out two swords. One has a blue tint to it's coloration, it is long and slightly curved. The other is much larger with a hilt designed for two hands. It has a golden coloration.
"Pick one"

Crownrule takes the one handed sword and inspects every inch. This sword will be good for slashing and with quick precision but it flaws in the ability of power unless in the hands of a skilled swordmaster Crownrule hands back the sword and grips the twohand. He also inspects and the first that comes to mind is that the sword is surprisingly light for its size and height I like this sword.....it can be used for slash and piercing attacks, its adequately light and gives off alot of power, although if not used correctly it can prove fatal to me though I can work on that later Crownrule spins it somewhat gracefully around his head.
"I choose this one, I like the feel of the blade and the power it brings me, when do we start?" Crownrule asks looking back at his master as he rests the sword on his shoulder.

"Stance "
Thal alters his position
"Stance is the most important thing a bladesman can learn. If your stance is incorrect, the figh is over before it starts. Bend your knees slightly, hold your feet apart one foot, turn your feet to a 90-¦ angle with your strongest side facing out"
Thal demonstrates
"You try"

Crownrule does as he asks and places his left foot forward and his right back, he bends his knees and turns in a 90 degree angle, Crownrule feels the power in the stance and lookd at his master.
"Like this?" Crownrule asks looking up at him. Crownrule looks past his shoulders again an notices the man with the scar again, he sees him punch through a cement block. Strength enhancement eh?

Crownrule says with sincerity "i want to impress you but i certainly cant when im on the floor now can I?" Crownrule asks skeptical.Crownrule puts all focus on his master, he inspects his shoulders and notices how tense he is, then he looks at his legs shift of motion in them and he thinks, Thal might try to trip him again. Crownrule firmly plants his left foot and balances it with his back foot all the while looking in his masters eyes and audibly says. "I know what youre going to do" he says bluntly. Crownrule grips the sword and steadies it on his shoulder, his feet ready to take a blow to them.

"Make my own sword?" Crownrule asks himself. "Hmmm...... I better hurry up and head down to the blacksmith." Crownrule heads for the entrance and walks out of the magnificent gym and toward the forge. Crownrulewalks through the open entrance of the forge and sees an abnormally large burly man over an anvil. "Ave, sir is there any chance im able to make a sword here?" Crownrule asks.
"Yea over there, materials are over in that corner and once you finish it'll Be 50,000 Isk for the service of the forge and an additional 20,000 isk for the resources" The blacksmith tells Crownrule.
"Thank you sir." Crownrule thanks the Blacksmith. The blacksmith just grunts in response and continues his work. Crownrule walks over to the corner and sees fine steel, hilts of different size and color and also oddly shaped grips. Crownrule looks at the five different blades In front of him. "Hmmm.....the first three are obviously for one handed combat so I wont use those...however the fourth and fifth are for two handed but the fifth blade is slightly thinner which enables it glide through the air instead of the fourth which is thicker and used for heavy but slow attacks so it is obvious ill choose the fifth one." Crownrule talks to himself as he poo icks up the magnificent blade and places it next to the forge. Again talking to himself Crownrule inspects the three hilts that he though most appropriate. "The first one has a guard on the front to protect my hands from attacks although im not able to spin it around as easily, the second offers no protection but allows me to use the dull capabilities of the blade the third is a fuse between both, it seems it would be the ideal but it is not because since the grip would have to be curved it would make me have to switch to a one handed sword so my choice is the sword without protection because versatility in not overrated. " Crownrule grabs the second hilt and the straight grip. Crownrule looks at his materials, he nkds and proceeds to grab the blade first in put the blade in the forge and heats up the metal so Iy can fuse with the hilt and grip. Once he thinks it is done he quickly sttaches thehilt and grip and heats them slightly and puts the blade inside of them, Crownrule sticks the sword into the barrel of water all the way and waits, then he pulls it out and looks at his new creation. "Its perfect." Crownrule says as he inspects the shining sword.
"Thats a fine sword you made....they say the best swords have a name, what is yours?" The blacksmith asks.
Crownruke thinks for a moment and says. "Harbinger"
"Mighty fine name.....now that will be 70,000 isk." Crownrule pulls up his neocom and transfers the money to his account.
"There you go should be all set now, thank you sir" crownrule thanks the blacksmith.
"Anytime." The blacksmith says walking back to his anvil. Crownrule puts his new sword into a fine leather sheath on his back

Thal takes the sword and examines it
"Very good, excellent craftsmanship. It is time to begin.
Thal assumes the stance from earlier, this time with his own two hander
" The first thing we will cover is basic attack and defense. The sword you have chosen is designed to use broad strokes, using the wight of the sword to propel yourself. "
Thal demonstrates
"You try"

Crownrule gets back into his stance and grips the sword, thebpower that cimes from the sword fills into his body and he closes his eyes he does as Thal does and he feels the energy from his body leave through the tip of the sword.
"Like that master Thal?" Crownrule asks.

"Yes, very well done. Your quite the natural. Now for defense. Your chosen sword offers little protection due in part to its wight. Though there is a way to counteract this weakness."
Thal assumes the stance and holds the blade horizontally, one hand on the hilt, the other on the blade about halfway up.
"By using this stance, you intend to catch the opponents glad and counter using the hilt to bash the foe."
Thal activates a hologram and demonstrates
"Your turn"
Thal pulls up another hologram that faces Crownrule
"War is holy my son.....you are war's harbinger, you hath the furry of heaven at your back." Swordmaster Tiber to Thal.

Crownrule takes his sword in hand and slides his hand down the smooth blade until he is about halfway, he puts his palm against the blade and grips the sword, he tilts it horizontally and puts his left foot down and right foot back, he arches his waist, Crownrule inspects his own stance to Thals, Crownrule fixes his posture and stands up staighter, he bends his knees and faces the hologram.
"Im ready." Crownruke announces to his master and the hologram image facing him

Crownrule deepens his stance and thrusts the blade against the hologram and feels the might from the fake enemy. He pushes the sword up and up and he pushes the enemy back and hits him with the jikt of his sword and spins around and slaahes throught the hologram image.
"How was that? Good?" Crownrule asks looking hopefully at his master

"Very good, you've learned the basics, let's see what you can do"
Thal draws his own two hander

Crownrule gets into his stance and inspects Thal as he shifts his motion. Thals shoulder are rense in the right side but the left is relaxed, but his left foot is also tense? Crownrule ponders for a moment and realizes its a trick but crownrule cant tell what he is going to do.Perhaps fake him out? Or actually attack that way? Crownrule lowers his shoulder and draws his power to his feet and makes for a thrust toward Swordmaster Thal
