-----The scent that came to Syriahl's nose set his hackles to rising the instant Jack stepped into the room. Eyes widened, the pupils dilating in response to the overwhelming scent of death and terror that washed over her like a wave. Yet the moment was lost as someone entered, the one known as Ayame, and demanded all shinobi to the gates. This frightened him, but he would not show it. Nodding brisquely at Jack, the shinobi took off towards the gates.

• Extreme Senses → Syriahl has perfect memory in four of her five senses, being Sound, Taste, Touch, and Smell, and can remember every distinct encounter with those senses from the day she was born. However, this was combined with something far more annoying: an increased sensory input. Everything she sensed, other than sight, was thousands of times higher than normal levels for the average beast, such as a canine's sense of smell. This allows him to tell things about places, people, and objects that would otherwise be impossible without the use of jutsu. This comes with a downside, however. When in contact with too many people, too much history, Sensory Overload occurs. This is where Syriahl's brain has taken in too much information in too short a time, and it is the same effect as the worst migraine, but increased to a factor of ten. It is, in short, debilitating. • +0 Chakra/ +0 Stamina [Training] • Seamless Combat → All jutsu performed through dances are increased by one [1] rank without increase in chakra requirements • •

-----A call for arms was sounded just before the one known as Achiamel accepted his introduction and retaliated with one of his own. The semblance was there, that bond between brother and sister forged by ancestry and blood, yet the stances, the air about them spoke of two very different personalities and Truths. Mind awhirl with the words spoken to him by Fiammetta, by a woman without any tie to himself, Jack looked to Fiammetta as she spoke, hinting that his help would be welcome at the gates, no matter the reason for the call. A hint, no more, but a hint he was willing to take at face value. She decided to leave, as did he, but by a different route. As they walked out to leave, Jack raised his cane to his lips, and smirked. "I shall meet you there." That being said, Jack's body slowly began to dissolve as his music filled the dojo, the scent of burning things and death rising as he became ash, and then no more.

Consumed by her training she sighed as there appeared to be a lot going on. She didn't know what any of it was about but she decided to go find out. Leaving the dojo she made her way for the gates. [exit]
"Mangix! What are you doing here!? Come with me, hurry!" Kaolin said in shock, why was his pet red panda dozing off at the dojo? "This is why I can't let him wander around." He thought to himself as he drew his sword and had Mangix get on his head. The two then went back in the direction of the gates. (Enter then exit to crevice)

Appearing in the Dojo, Theodin decided it was time to practice some of his close range fighting, which he hadn’t really worked on much in quite a while. Slowly, the jounin started out by stretching, bending at the waist to try touching his toes. He wasn’t exactly the most flexible guy around, having focused mainly on power this far in his career as a shinobi. (1/3)
Slapping the ground, he created an ice spike in from of him, and started circling it, walking in a way he’d seen San practice before one or twice. He kept his hands up, palms out facing the spike and shoulders turned at a right angle to his hips, facing the spike. He circled spike like this slowly, focusing on his breathing. (2/3)
Stopping in place, not changing his stance, Theodin pivoted his feet and turned. Switching his hands mid-turn, he beganto circle the spike in the opposite direction. As he circled, he changed the position of his arms to something similar to the spanning block from Hsing-I (3/3)
Soft Physical D rank learned
Deciding to switch to practice his sword skills, Theo created a shadow clone and drew his swords. A few seconds later he nodded at the clone and it attacked with two fast punches and a round kick to his head. Swords in hand, Theo slapped each punch away with the flats of his blades, then ducked the kick. As he came back up, he swung his sword out, to cut the clone’s leg, then impaled it with his other sword when it hit the ground. (1/1)

Making a couple more clones, he had them draw their own swords. When the first attacked, Theo the original parried the first strike as he stepped around the clone, slicing it’s side open as he moved behind it, taking it as shield against the other clone. (1/2)
When the other clone attacked, Theo let go of the first clone’s shoulder to block the sword with his, then ran the first clone throw with his second sword, sending the blade far enough through to stab the heart of the second clone as well, causing them both to poof away. (2/2)

Creating more shadow clones, Theo told them all to attack him with their swords. When the first, attacked, Theo parried the strike as he stepped and spun around behind the clone, hitting it in the back of the head with the pommel of his other sword. The first clone staggered forward a few steps and the second stacked. (1/4)
Theodin hollowed out to let the second clone’s strike go by. He then swung his right sword up into the clone’s armpit, cutting the tendons and disabling the arm. He then spun around this clone as well, this time taking its head off with his other blade, making it poof away. (2/4)
As the remaining two clones attacked, Theo ducked the first sword strikes from the clone behind him, flipping his sword underhand and stabbing backwards to run the clone through, making it poof. The last clone, he parried both its cuts and smacked it with the flat of his blade. (3/4)
When the last clone attacked again, it tried to get two cuts at the original: One downward diagonally at each shoulder. Each cut was parries by the original’s opposite hand, trapping both blades. Theodin would then quickly draw both his swords up and across his body and decapitate the clone, making the cut like a pair of scissors with his blades. (4/4)

Sheathing his swords,Theodin went back to his hand to hand training. He began again by stretching, bending to touch his toes again at first. He then tilted one foot up and squatted on his other heel, to stretch that leg. After holding it for a few seconds, Theo switched to the other leg. (1/4)
Creating a Shadow clone, Theo ordered it to attack. When it punched at the jounin’s head, Theo stepped around behind his own foot, turning as he grabbed the attacking arm. When the clone had passed him, Theo brought the arm down hard, forcing the clone to flip and slam into the ground. (2/4)
When the clone got back up, it attacked again, this time with a kick. As the front kick came towads Theo, he side-stepped to the outside as he stepped around his front leg again, bringing his front arm up under the clone’s leg. As the clone would try to recoil it’s kick, the original would hook it and continue it’s upward trajectory, forcing the leg essentially over the clone’s head. It would flip over itself and land flat on its back. (3/4)
When the clone got up and attacked again, Theo swumg his right leg up and block the punch, hooking his leg around the arm. When the clone suddenly tried to pull back, Theo skipped his base leg behindthe knees of the clone and kicked at its head with the leg hooked around the arm. This quick combo bound up the clone’s body as Theo twisted his hips and took the clone to the ground, bringing his hands up to protect his face from slamming into the floor. (4/4)

Making more clones, Theo had them all attack him again. The first one, Theo caught the wrist of the clone with his left hand. He then torqued his hips to the left as he cranked the clone’s wrist and arm that way, forcing the clone to flip over its own arm. (1/6)
When the next clone attacked, Theo simply parried the attack as he caught the wrist and spun around quickly, whipping the clone into another one. The two would collide an instant later, smacking their foreheads together. After the impact, they would be dazed for a few seconds, enough time for Theo to be ready for the next attack. (2/6)
The next attack that came Theo’s way was a frustrated charge, the clone attempting to tackle him. Theo would simply C-step out of the way at the last second, letting the clone run past him. As the clone passed, Theo would apply a small amount of downward pressure to the back of the clone’s head and the top of its back, changing its course just enough to send it sprawling into the ground face first. (3/6)
This time, two clones attacked at once, each throwing a punch at Theo’s face. Bringing both his hands up in front of him, Theodin would parry the punches to either side of his head, grabbing the wrists as he did so. As the clones’ momentum carried them forward, Theo would guide their punching arms past him, down then forcibly back, causing the two to flip simultaneously. (4/6)
When the next clone attacked, Theo just sttod there waiting for it. As the punch came close to making contact, Theo brushed it aside, grabbing the wrist with his left hand and reaching under with his right arm. Holding on to the arm, the jounin turned his body and bent his knees to put his left hip just below the clone’s center of gravity. Straightening his legs slightly and turning his upper body, Theo let the clone fall over him, landing hard on its back on the floor, poofing away. (5/6)
When the last clone attacked, charging at him, Theo decided to try something a little different. As the clone got within reach, Theo reached out and grabbed ahold of its armor and suddenly dropped down between te clone’s legs, bringing its head with him. He’d thrust one of his legs up into the clone’s tomach, pushing it over him, but hanging on to its armor. The clone would fly quickly over Theo and be spiked right onto its head, poofing away in a cloud of smoke. (6/6)

After a short break ,Theo was back to training, this time working on his usual style of fighting for a bit. Creating ten shadow clones, Theo had them start to attack. The first one charged at him, punching for the chest. Theo punched to the inside fo the clone’s arm, hitting a nerve, then hit it in the chest with a palm strike, knocking it back. (1/7)
The same clone recovered quickly and attacked again. This time Theo hit the nerve ending in the arm again, following with a right hook into the ribs, followed by a rising web-hand strike to the throat. Theo used this last hit to carry the clone into the air before slamming it into the ground head-first, making it poof. (2/7)
The next pair of clones attacked, one punching for Theo’s ribs, the other kicking at his legs. Turning his calf out and lifting his leg, Theo absorbed the leg kick as he blocked the punch with his arm. He’s then whip his leg up and around to crack the clone in the back of the head with a hook kick, making that one poof as he turned to deal with the second. This one received a few hard punches to the gut and ribs before having its head grabbed and smashed with an elbow strike, making it poof. (3/7)
Two more clone attacked, Theo rushed at one, to jam up its attack, punching it hard in the face, sending it staggering back. The other one kicked at his head, but Theo blocked the kick, catching the leg against his shoulder and swept the clone’s other leg, sending it to the ground where he stomped it’s throat, dispersing it. As the other clone came back, theo jumped into the air, spinning and slamming a side kick into the clone’s throat, dispersing it as well. (4/7)
When the next wave came, Theo took a kick to the ribs to catch the clone’s leg as he blocked a punch form another clone with his free hand. He’d quickly drop an elbow into the knee of the clone whose leg he’d caught, breaking it and dispersing the clone. The other clone would receive a punch to the throat and a kick in the ribs almost simultaneously, sending it flying into the nearby wall, poofing away. (5/7)
Another clone ran towards Theodin, with a second not too far behind. This time, Theo rushed bak cat the first, spinning and dropping as he went around it, he grabbed it’s leg with both hands, ripping it out from under the clone. Still continuing his momentum, Theo brought the clone he’d grabbed swinging around to use as a club against the second, when their heads collided, there was a loud crunch as both’s skulls crushed and they poofed out of existence (6/7)
With just one clone left, Theo launched ito the air at it, throwing a hard roundhouse kick at its head. Seeing the kick coming, the clone put its arms up to block, stopping most of the force. Theo then torqued his hips and brought another kick around as he punched the clone in the face with his opposite hand. The combination caused his body to spin in place and fal flat on its back, where Theo stomped it until it dispersed. (7/7)

Entering the dojo, Hikari did her usual rounds for the mission. After finding no suspicious activity, she stopped to look at some of the training. Theodin was training nearby and Hikari watched for a few minutes before leaving. [Mission - Patrol the village! [Dojo]]

Switching back over to his softer style of fighting, Theo began again by stretching his legs and arms out, making sure he could move as freely as possible. After all this training, he was actually starting to become fairly flexible for his size. (1/7)
The jounin started off just shadow boxing, imagining enemies attacking his and side-stepping quickly, parrying their blows. He’d start to think of circling around opponents as he parried, letting him obtain wide-open targets for counter attacks. He began practicing striking quickly as he circle-walked around imaginary enemies. (2/7)
As he continued his circle walking practice, he began switching directions quickly, working on his agility and footwork. Along with changing direction, he would randomly flow into a throw, trying to get fast enough with them to be able to catch enemies off guard. However, he tripped the first time he tried, still getting used to the rapid change in motion and balance. (3/7)
Still working on his footwork, Theo got tired of just circling. Instead he began to walk across the dojo floor, since he had the place to himself for the moment, weaving back and forth like a snake crossing the desert. He’d curve his path in one direction only to turn quickly and curve back the other way, quickly moving across the room, he’d throw a few fast punches or kicks as he arced his way back and forth, trying to mix the hard and soft styles to a degree. (4/7)
Making a few shadow clones, Theo had them attack him as he half-circle walked across the room some more. As one attacked, charging at him, Theo simply cross stepped and spun around the clone. As he evaded the charge, he pushed into the back of its neck, causing its direction to change just enough for it to stumble and face-plant into the ground. (5/7)
When the next clone attacked, this time with a punch at Theo’s head, the jounin was mid direction change. As the punch came in, Theo deflected it slightly, catching the wrist. He then lifted the arm, stepping under it and spinning, whipping he arm down and out quickly afterwards to send the clone flipping and flying towards the wall, where it poofed on impact. (6/7)
When his last clone attacked, Theo spotted the kick coming a mile away thanks to the awareness he developed in Hsing-I training. Cross-stepping just before impact, Theo rode the force of the kick, taking control of the leg as he spun with it. At the last second, he dropped his weight quickly before bursting back up with an uppercut to the clone’s groin, using the upward force to perform a shoulder throw using the leg as the control limb. This send the Clone racing towards the ground faster than it could possibly react, forcing it to slam into the ground head first, poofing out of existence on impact. (7/7)

With his training here done for now, Theo sat down agains the wll for a few minutes to rest before standing and poofing away from the dojo (exit)

Arriving at the dojo, Theo walked over to the wall with the shelf full of style scrolls and looked through until he found the one for Ivory Tower of Wind. Pulling it from the shelf, Theo carried it ove to the nearby table and unfurled it to the third stage. Reaching behind him and grabbing his retracted staff, Theo hit the button, expanding it to its full length and rested the tip on the ground by his foot as he read through the stage of techniques.

When he finished reading through the next stage of the style, Theo stepped away from the table and took his staff in both hands. Slowly, he began working on spinning the staff between his hands and around his body. Starting slow, he began to get the staff spinning faster and faster as he got used to the motions. He’d then tighten his grip quickly and bring the staff to a full stop as if he had hit something. He continued this pattern for a few minutes before moving on to the next thing. Spreading his feet to about shoulder width apart and holding his staff about level, Theo tried out the new stance from this stage, shifting his weight between his feet to test how he could move. Spinning his staff a bit, he could feel it moving a bit easier and faster, but he felt like he didn’t have the reinforcement for hard, solid striking because his feet weren’t rooted into the ground very well. It was a good stance for quick striking, but would also let him disengage and run easily if he really needed to. The next move was mainly for movement, to close distance in combat. Taking his stance, Theo turned his front heel out quickly as he stepped around his front leg, spinning rapidly as he moved forward. Trying again he swung his staff in a simple strike as he spun and was surprised to see just how much faster it was. Thinking of what he would do if the opponent attacked while he was moving, Theo tried it one more time. This time he ducked low as he stepped, still maintaining his ability to strike from the position, but he was low enough that if an enemy was attacking his head or torso that it’s go right over his head. Next, Theo practiced what seemed to be a more versatile blocking technique. Instead of the basic block from before, he now had to swing the staff in an arc to knock away strikes or projectiles. Taking his staff in both hands, he swung it quickly in an arc in front of him, imagining someone cutting at him at an angle, which his other block would have been unable to defend against. Then imagining a line of kunai lying at him, Theo swung the staff again as he moved, visualizing himself knocking the projectiles either towards someone else or out of the air entirely. The next move sounded fun just by the name….whirlwind. Ducking his head slightly, Theo brought the staff over his head and began spinning it at high speeds. He could easily see this knocking incoming projectiles away and at least bruising and staggering anyone who got too close. As he came out of the staff spin, Theo quickly threw two or three strikes at knee level, as he hitting enemies in the sides of the knees, which would likely buckle them, causing them to be slower and stagger around a bit more. Walking over to a dummy for the last technique of the stage, Theo focused his chakra and spread it along the length of his staff. He then began striking the dummy quickly, not worrying about power. Each strike came with a loud thud and a small dent in the wood. After a few minutes of that he switched his stance and started hitting harder. Each strike crushed in the areas of the dummy that they hit. He figured it wouldn’t necessarily be killing blows, but would definitely cause serious skeletal damage, possibly crippling enemies.

Scanning over the next stage, Theo memorized the movements and walked away from the table to practice. Theo began moving as quickly as he could, spinning his staff as he did. At random points he would turn his heel out and dig into the ground to quickly change direction in nearly an instant. As he continued his practice, he felt like this would majorly help him with battlefield control, at least within his range, as he could shift between opponents quickly and easily. As he continued moving, shifting directions and spinning the whole time, Theo began working on shfting stances quickly and striking as he moved. It was quickly becoming much easier for him to switch between stances, further increasing his options while in combat. The next move was another movement technique, apparently most of this style was fluid movement training, Theo thought. Concentrating chakra into his legs and feet, Theo flowed quickly into another movement similar to the spin step, spinning his staff as he did so. As he came to a stop, spinning into his regular fighting stance, he looked behind him and was surprised to see how much distance he had covered, and smiled slightly seeing the small whirlwinds of sand he had kicked up. This was going to be a fun move to use here in the desert. For the next technique, Theo decided to create a half dozen shadow clones, telling half of them to throw projectiles at him and the others to charge in for an attack. As the clones moved into, Theo began rapidly spinning his staff around his entire body. When the projectiles reached him, they were all knocked away easily by his staff, and the clones her all hit quickly by the defensive maneuver as well, sending them flying back, poofing in a cloud of smoke. The remaining three clones charged now, and met the same fate as the first ones. As he slowed the spinning staff, he carefully returned it to the ground, holding it as a walking stick. Taking his staff in both hands again, Theo angled the back end of his staff towards the ground, keeping it just barely from touching. He then made a clone that charged at him. Pivoting his front foot like in spin step, Theo spun quickly towards and around the clone, the back of the staff catching it in the knee, causing it to trip and topple to the ground. Theo would hen flip the staff around and finish the clone with a hard downward strike, dissipating it. Having read in the scroll that he could use his chakra to reinforce the staff he was using, Theo decided to give it a shot. Standing there, staff in hand, Theodin closed his eyes and reached into his staff with his chakra. As it extended down the length, he could feel the weapon become harder, more solid, stronger. Holding it out from him, he made another clone, which drew its swords and hacked at the staff, the blades doing nothing to the hardened staff. When Theo read the last technique for this stage, he couldn’t help but let a slightly sinister grin cross his face. Focusing chakra into his staff, Theo slammed the end of it into the ground, letting the chakra explode on impact. This launched him through the air, where he hung for a few seconds before falling back to the ground, swinging his staff down for a strike as he landed. Looking back a where he had been standing, he say a crater where his chakra had exploded and was thankful that the buildings in Suna repaired themselves. Having another clone appear and charge him, Theo concentrated his chakra again, this time letting it explode when he jabbed the clone in the chest with the tip of the staff. The clone and Theo both were sent flying backwards in opposite directions, the Clone’s chest having been crushed in before it dissipated. Theo flipped in the air as he flew, landing back on his feet easily. He’d then walk back over to the scroll to read through the next stage.

There is Fenris grim His jaws are open wide The serpent rises from the waves Jormungandr twists and turns, mighty in his wrath The eyes are full of primal hate
Starting on the next stage of the new style, Theodin stood holding his staff for some standing meditation. Sending chakra through the staff, he felt the very small, but strong joints where the staff could bend and how it retracted into itself. He could feel the strength of the metal cylinders that made up the weapon. As he felt the chakra move back and forth through the staff, Theo slowly felt like he now knew his weapon inside and out. Opening his eyes, Theo walked over to a dummy and settled into his basic fighting stance. Surging chakra through his arms and staff, Theo began a rapid barrage of strikes on the dummy, slowly increasing his speed as he got more used to the fast striking. After a minute or so he hi the point where the strikes were so fast they were nearly invisible. As he continued at this speed, He slowly felt a soft breeze form from the movement of the staff, chuckling softly to himself. Deciding to work on the couple new stances next, Theo held his staff firmly, then settled into a wide stance. Taking a few practice strikes to test what he could do, Theo felt that he couldn’t move very quickly, but his strikes had much more reinforcement and power to them. Switching to stand up tall, he felt like he couldn’t move very quickly still, and that he didn’t have quite as much power to his strikes, but he knew he could move around easily to switch stances. Shifting into a low stance, Theo could feel the power stored in his legs that would let him move and strike quickly and felt like he had some good position for powerful strikes. Taking up his regular fighting stance, Theo switched his hands positions to be in what the style called “Stance of Wind” As he stood there in the new stance, Theo felt like a coiled spring and as soon as he moved for a strike, the tension released and the strike went rocketing across extremely quickly and felt like they held incredible power. Checking his mobility, he found that he could almost literally move like the wind. Smiling, Theo realized that he’d just figured out the signature stance of the style. Creating a couple shadow clones, He told them to draw their swords and attack. When the first one charged in, Theo surged chakra down the length of his staff and fired off a strike for the left arm as he stepped to the right. He then pushed another chakra surge as he flipped the staff around and brought it down on the clone’s sword blade. The first strike, he saw the arm crumple as the bones were broken, the second snapped the blade off at the hilt. When the second clone attacked, Theo began spinning his staff for a few seconds to repel the clone before sending a surge of charka down the staff and bringing a strike down on the clone’s shoulder. The clone’s armor broke and gave way, letting the strike blast through into the clone. Both clones then poofed. Creating another shadow clone, Theo burst towards it, slamming the tip of his staff into its stomach. He quickly then brought that end of the staff upward, cracking the clone in the jaw and sending its head flying back, jaw likely broken or shattered. Spinning the staff around quickly, Theo struck the clone in the right ear next, making it stager as he stepped around it, sweeping its legs out with the staff before finishing the clone with a hard thrust to the throat. The clone lay there in agony for a few seconds, it’s ear ringing with a skull fracture, a shattered jaw, hemorrhaging diaphragm, and windpipe collapsed before it poofed out of existence.
