The Ghost Shipyard

[Tetsu]

Tetsu arrived at the shipyard quite late. He felt tired so he sat on a near rock waiting for something to happen. He looked off into the distance and all that was there was a lake and some old forgotten ruins. There was no sign of existence through out the lake. The only existence was the strange glowing lights in the distance. Tetsu then got up from hearing a faint sound in the distance. it sounded like some sort of raven. Tetsu then gestured his hand which was deformed because it was made out of vines which was made it a similar shape of a human hand. He gestured it from the sky to one of the abandoned towers. A couple ravens then flew into the tower. Tetsu then stared into the distance patiently.

A large portal appeared behind Tetsu, spilling out snakes of shadows. A person garbed in a deep red cloak walked calmly through the dark door, closing it behind him. He glanced at the boy from under his hood, casting a sole glowing eye upon him, then spoke, "Tetsu. I am your Master Teacher, Verin. How would you prefer to reach the school?" He waited patiently, yet as he stood there, tendrils of shadows from around them began crawling towards him, as if he was absorbing them.

[Tetsu]

A crack of light shined through the dark clouds. The dark clouds disintegrated and a light aura shined on the lifeless lake. All of a sudden the Earth beneath Tetsu and Verin began to shake. Then from the power of nature , trees began to rise from the depths of the lake. The ancient trees rose endlessly and Tetsu Swiftly moved his hand back and the trees came crashing down making huge waves of scummy water splash to shore. The trees then made what was a sturdy land bridge leading all the way to the opposite side of the lake.

Verin turned his cold eyes to his student, "Very good." He stepped out the trees, though instead of walking on them, he levitated a couple inches above them, his feet resting on shadows. Though the air around him was a bit brighter than normal, due to his student's magic, shadows still brimmed in the air around him, nearly fully encasing him. He stopped once he was out a few feet, turned back, and waited for Tetsu.

[Tetsu]

Tetsu then started to follow verin. Each step he took made a crunching sound. Ravens circled above tetsu and his teacher. There eyes glowed red like fire embers. Tetsu then raised his hand and sent the ravens to the opposite banks of the lake."So I take it that your my teacher?"Tetsu said breaking the awkward silence.

[baha]

Verin's grin appeared beneath the edge of the hood, "Yes, your Master Teacher. I will be aiding you in developing your Special Abilities, and learning how to control it. I assume your powers involve nature, no? Tell me about yourself, since we have the time to talk 'till we reach the school. Where did you use to live?" A sleeve appeared from the center of the cloak, showing a strong hand with claw-like fingernails, itching his head.

[Tetsu]

Tetsu's ripped green cloak skimmed the ground as they grew closer to the castle. "My powers? My powers are something not be messed with though some times i can't control them. They often hurt innocent things" Tetsu said looking quite grim.
'My powers deal with nature and controlling ravens. I have a third power but haven't found out its full potential." Were I use to live was a forest named Theereeus which was in the sky only viewable at a certain time of day to humans. The forest had many wild features to it and was known for the freshest and clearest water in the world. Many creatures lived there. Ones that could fly ones that even could shapeshift. I just remember waking up in the ocean underneath Theereeus. I called upon my ravens who combined them selves using my magic to make some kind of giant raven combined with some other bird i flew it 6to shore and came across an old shack were some kind of creature who resembled a cat. This cat could talk and stood on its 2 back legs with some sort of staff in his hand. He offered me food and told me of this school. The next day i left in hunt of this school which could help me to advance my power while also helping me with them.

Verin tapped what seemed to be his chin beneath the hood of his cloak, "A talking, walking cat? Sounds like Endar... I'll have to put in a good word for him..." He continued walking, brushing a strand of darkness out from under his hood, "This Theereeus place sounds nice. I'm from Noamuth, the land of eternal darkness!! It was quite pleasant, with all the shadows you could absorb.You could feel like a God there! Not that I need to." He laughed to himself as if it was a very funny joke, "I guess you can assume my powers. Absorption of darkness!! I can use shadows instead of my own strength of will. It's quite handy, unless it's the summer equinox." He shook his head, "What about you? Tell me what your favorite smoothie flavor is!!"

[Tetsu]

"Straberry....",Tetsu replied with a confused look on his face.

[baha]

Verin nodded, "Good, good. You pass. As for mine, I love Mango. Remember that for future quizes. Okay, question number two. What is the difference between... monkey?" He stared at the boy expectantly.

[Tetsu]

"Monkey..........?" Tetsu said confused, "What do you mean?" He watched Verin with a puzzled expression.
After a moment, he added, "Why so many questions? I just wanna go to the school..."

(( tsk tsk Justin, you didn't read the rules =P So I modified your post. ))

Verin scratched his chin thoughtfully, "Hmm, don't like the questions? Okay fine, tell me about your ancestors!" He looked at his foot, watching the darkness float around him. A puff of shadows floated out and turned into a howling wolf's head, then turned into a dark replica of Verin himself. The replica scratched its chin, then leaped onto Tetsu's shoulder, poking his ear.

[Tetsu]

Tetsu sat there and let the replica poke him in the ear just to make it happy. "My ancestors came from another planet and came to Theereeus they fought many godly wars but now not many are living today. OK I had it!" Tetsu said in rage. Tetsu grabbed the replica with his green deformed left hand and threw it about a couple yards away. "Can we continue now."

[baha]

Verin sniffed angrily, "What did he do to you? He wasn't harming you or anything that needed a response like that!" He marched ahead of the boy, "Your first quiz is complete and the results are back: You need patience!! We're putting you down under some haaaard training, boy!" They were approaching the shore.

[Tetsu]

"I'm sorry but your the one who should teach your replica's to be a little bit more mature he can't just be going around poking me in my big ear!" Tetsu said hastily. As they reached the shore the bridge behind them broke from Tetsu's wave of the hand. "I'm sorry i can't control my self sometimes i seem to have some sort of evil side of me who just needs to find a way out."
