Aeros blade can down in a straight over head slash, this wasn't the first time he was by himself practicing his fighting, most likely wouldn't be the first time either. He set his sword on the ground now, it would be a good idea for me to start praticing magic again seeing as its very widely used in Arda he summoned the powers of his spell in his mind and a whirl wind picked up, riping and tearing up the ground under his feet, more and more power he put into it, he held it for a long moment, at ths point the winds were so strong they were moving the vast trees around him, off the ground he was lifted. At that he stopped and fell back to the ground best not to over do it, thats when aero realized that he forgot to move his sword, " well thats just perfect" he said very calmly and matter of factly. he then started to look around for the sword, hoping that it had inbed its self into one of the many great trees around him.

Arthur had been hunting in the forest for awhile now. The deer he was after lay not far ahead. He came upon it quitely drew the arrow on his bow and took aim right at rib cage. As he shot a strong wind came through the woods and pushed him over and he looekd up and the deer was goen the arrow stuck in the tree that had been next to the deer. He said," Blood and Bloody ashes what was that". He could feel a magic residue on the winds and coming from his left. He put his bow on his back next to the holy broadsword. He went forward carefully and saw an Angel standing their lookign for something. He saw a glint under the mess of things and he said," You might want to check under the fallen limb to your right, its dangerous to lose a sword in these woods". Luckily for him he wasn't in his dragon form at the moment but ratehr hsi human one because if he had the man might have attacked if he had been. People didn't trust half-dragons that well and well he didn't feel like an attack today so he stayed in his human form.

Aero heard the voice and smiled, looking up he said "thank you very much? i was worried i would be here for a few hours looking for it." Aero walked over to the fallen limb and picked it up and threw it to the side. Picking up his sword he checked for damage, sheathed it, then looked up at the man who had helped him, he could self the inhuman part of him, but that didn't bother Aero for he himself wasn't human any longer. " i thank ye again young sir, would you mind a chat or some company?
Aero wouldn't mind some company at this point in time, training alone was what he had done many times but Aero always did enjoy a good chat every now and then. plus he was curious, why hadnt he shown himself in his true form but a human form instead?
many more questions went through Aeros head but he was patient and waited for a reply, Mean while he stretched his huge white, red, and black wings out leting their sore bones relax.

Arthur smiled at the angel and said," I could always use a little chat, especially with angels they have the most facinating views on life". He mean that as the truth he had only meet 3 angels in his life and from what he could tell they were a nice sort and they accepted everything as it came. He came out from where he stood and smiled and pushed some of the limbs with his feet away and said," Well you caused a mess didn't you, I hvaen't seen a mess like this since I had my first try at using magic". He chuckled and he could rember it clearly but he woudl not go over what happened in his head just now. He then said," I am Arthur by the way, Arthur Pendragon". He stuck out his hand for the angel to shake wondering to himself what an angel was doign hear in this forest alone. Angels of course coudl go anywhere but he couldn't help but feel a little curiousity coming into him as questiosn buzzed through his mind.

Aero smiled pleased to have met someone he wouldn't mind talking to " well Arthur i am Aero, Aero X Dragon, it is nice to met you, and this isnt my first time using magic i just like to open up a bit more then i should sometimes, plus it is a forest it will regrow with time just as long as you dont burn it." Aero walked up to the man, and took his hand and shook it. "you dont have to stay in human form around me if you dont wish to by the way, as you will learn i am a very open and understanding person, and as you can see for yourself i have no fear you will try to harm me in anyway. Aero smiled and drop his hand to his side and with the other one he pointed to a old log that had fallen year ago "i think there would be a nice place to relax and talk for awhile, dont you think?" aero noticed the man had a bow and quiver of arrows on his back, hunting most likely most of the half breads i've met have there own way of fighting with out weapons

(I gota go for the night see ya later possibly the morning)
Arthur smiled at the man and shook his head and he said," I was not worried about you understanding but attacking me, far to many have done that in the past to make me feel safe around people with it". He smiled though light hwo he smiled the man had been able to tell were few could. He then said," I prefer my birth form anyway, a little less scaley than my true self I think". He laughed at himself for that.
He then looked at the log and said," Yes that would be a nice place to talk". He went toward the log and realized he had forgotten to take off his quiver. He then took of his bow and quiver and remohed the longsword from hisi side as well as the broadsword on his back and said," Its uncomfortable sitting with a personal arsenal on your back". He chuckled at himself agin as he sat down. He then said," So you were practicing magic eh, what kind of magic do you know I am a bit interested in the art of mystics even if I follow the path of a warrior".

"So you were practicing magic eh, what kind of magic do you know I am a bit interested in the art of mystics even if I follow the path of a warrior?" ask arthur. Aero smiled as he walked over and took a seat next to him on the log. "I know many kinda of magic, i can control the winds as you probably noticed, i can bring peace to a battle field, and a few others, but don't think me only a mystic, I'm a wonderer so i know many different ways of fighting, i just have picked up a few things on my way." which was the truth he had learned everything he knew from magic wondering Arda and his home land, but his best form of fighting was with the strength and speed of his blade. Aero smiled "so what made you take the way of a warrior and use human weapons all of the other half breads ive met have used thing they were born with? Aero always did like a good talk with a half bread they always seemed to know a lot
Arthur Pendragon - August 6, 2007 09:29 PM (GMT)
Arthur looked at the man and said," You and me both then it seems, I wander alot I never stay in any place more than a week so as you say I know many ways of fighting as well, to be a blademaster one msut understand every art of combat" He sat back a little relaxing and then said," Many half-breeds use their powers to fight that is true, but I only use mine as a last resort I prefer going on the steam of my sword arm to win a battle rather than the skills of my race, if I did use my weapons of my race my opponents would be no match for me and there is no honor in doing that to an opponent, thats one reason why I fight with the sword". He sighed and then looked at the man and said," The other reason is because I want to be a blademaster and that is somethign you achive with practice not with using powers, and the other is the sword is not the weapon it is merely an extension of what the true weapon is and the true weapon is me, the blade is not a part of me it is me and thats why I use the sword for honor, duty, to protect and to serve". That was the truth of it for him even if some said it was not but he did not care. He had more honor than thsoe that said those were not the reasons for him to carry a sword, they wre wrong he knew hsi self better than anyone. The first rule of swordsmanship is now yourself as well as your enemy. He then said to the man," So by this mess here I guess you tried to take to mutch magic in then if its not your first time".
aeroxdragon - August 6, 2007 09:44 PM (GMT)
Aero chuckled "well i think its safe to say i wont be trying it again in a rain forest, I'm glad one of the massive trees didn't decide to make me into a pancake, but no this isn't my first time i needed the practice and yes i pushed a little to far for in here." Aero could have done more but he stopped because he hadn't wanted to do to much damage not like he hadn't already but it would all grow back in the end, so was the view of a neutral aligned being, he had always seen things this way always a balance between good and evil, nature and technology, to him it was the only way to live, just because you view someone as evil doesn't mean they are not interesting, most probably found it very odd for a arch angel to be a neutral aligned being, he would have in his early years but that was a thing of the past. "I view things differently then most, to me you cant do one thing with out another happening so, i learned magic in order to defend myself and ones better, to also attack and fight better, so is the view of a neutral aligned being.
Arthur Pendragon - August 6, 2007 11:07 PM (GMT)
Arthur looked at the man and wondered why neutral but then again it was the mans choice. He said to him," True enough, there is always a balamce between good and evil, I fight to make sure the balance is maintained meaning I make sure evil never tips the scale in their favor, without balance there would be no more of us, eventually though good triumphs". He sighed at that and thought of when good reigned supremed he wouldn't have to fight anymore probably that ight kill him he lived for a good fight. He then said," I learned the sword for the same reason to protect myself as well as others, and also to strike fear in the heart of evil, my ancestors were long a thorn in Chaos' side and a bramble to Darkness' hands."
aeroxdragon - August 7, 2007 02:42 AM (GMT)
Aero smiled "not to counter acted you, but a lot of people see that as what there doing, which is funny because its like that on both sides." Aero chuckled. he always did like a good talk with some one and a lot of people never really thought he'd say stuff he does say, he was different from most, which was ok with him, "what kind of weapons do you know, just the sword or more?" pending on the answer of this question Aero would know a lot more about this man, but he'd have to wait and see what the answer was, most warriors were proficient in one kind of weapon, some in many both had different but the same views, asking a warrior this question could tell Aero many things about a man.
Arthur Pendragon - August 8, 2007 12:08 AM (GMT)
Arthur thought for a moment he did not use many weapons but he had skill with many. He said," I pretty handy with a bow but no one of the best I can only make one bulls eye out of 12 shots, then I also fight with my hands sometimes they can be used as weapons, I also will use the magic I know to fight, beyond that I use my mind as my greatest weapon sharpened and able to cut the finest steel". He chuckeld for any fighter the mind had to be the most honed weapon you used for without it you would lose a battle. He then said," For a man liek me there is always the search for a better fight and stronger opponents, that way I can go past my limits, one of my dreams is to be in a battle where I will be honroabley defeated using every skill I have to win".
Aero Xdragon - August 8, 2007 08:09 PM (GMT)
Aero smiles "well i'm glad you talk with your brain and not your steel, that makes things all of the more enjoyable side. he chuckled at this, Aero really did like this man, want to test out his skill, but maybe in days to come, there was never much point in wasting your energy just to prove who was the better. "maybe some day we shall train together and learn of each others power, but not today, there isn't much point in seeing who is the better just a waste of energy in my opp. but for now lets continue this talk shall we? i am finding it most insightful. in truth Aero was finding this conversation very insightful and very relaxing it had been a very long while since he had a chance to talk with some one peacefully and not with blade or magic. " i am also able to use many skills, i myself manly use the sword, i usally duel wield but i lost my other blade in a battle not to long ago, i can also use the bow, my fists and legs, magic and a few other small things
Arthur Pendragon - August 8, 2007 08:25 PM (GMT)
Arthur looked at the man and wondered if he was a blademaster only the exceptionally skilled could use two swords at once in battle. He asked," You can use two swords an extrordinary feat, you must be a blademaster or very near to one". He looked to hsi swords and said," I am not able to use two in battle though I train to, its a bit harder than using one, that and the swords I have are much to big for dual weilding anyway".
He chuckled and then said," You and I seem very mutch alike in the ways of fighting I mean maybe one day we will train and I look forward to the occasion". He did really as he loved a good challenge above all. He then sighed and said," Ofcourse sometimes you have to have someone with you to fight I ay least have one allie with me at all times just in case things get out of hand". He smiled a bit and said," Its always good to have a little help just in case".
Aero Xdragon - August 8, 2007 09:09 PM (GMT)
Aero smiled, he was really starting to like this man, very few would understand that no matter how much you think you know a person that might not be the persons true self "its completely understandable, i know your not calling me a devilish fool, or a liar for that matter, "one must look out of ones self" as my brother use to say, personally we i was forced to come to this world my brother wasn't able to stay here very long and had to return home to where he belongs, bless him for pushing to stay as look as he did though." in truth Aero did miss his brother, but at the same time he didn't want him to be in this place way to many enemies and the all. Aero always did look after his brother, even though his brother would claim to do the same for him, in the end reign hadn't been able to do what he had claimed even though Aero believed his brother was always with him. " in truth Arthur i am a great many things, swordsmanship is indeed one of my strong points, and at this point in time i am searching for the blade of war, so i may continue to fight with all my strength in battles to come. for there is and always will be a battle around the bend. for in truth this was one of Aero's strongest beliefs that no matter wehat he did there was always some one that was going to fight and in the end all that mattered was that Aero was able to keep the balance of things.
Arthur Pendragon - August 8, 2007 11:50 PM (GMT)
Arthur looked up at the man when he mentioned searching for a sword. In that he and Arthur shared alot with this man the more he talked with him. He said," I to search for a sword, but of power not war, a sword that belonged to my ancestor whom I am named for". He paused a momtent and then continued," With it I could restore my ancestors kingdom, you see I am decended from Arthur Pendragon the weilder of Excalibur, it is my purpose to find his sword and restore the kingdom that made the Golden age".
Aero Xdragon - August 9, 2007 12:18 AM (GMT)
Aero really did like this man, more and more " well in the end its the quest that matters not the finding of the object, you will see that you will learn see and gain more from the quest then you ever will from finding the object you seek" Aero would like to test this mans skill out in battle, not now maybe later on though maybe this man and himself could train together and from the looks of this what a fight it would be. " dont get me wrong the battle i am looking for is the blade of war but i intend on using it to keep the balance of good and evil so neither can benefit, and so there are less wars in this world and in the next, it an ever lasting fight, but i will continue to fight tell the very end of may days, and as you prolly guessed i have quit the few left in me" Aero chuckled at his little joke he had just made.
