    [fancypost bgcolor=transparent; border: 0px; width: 400px;text-align: justify; font-family:georgia; size: 8pt; color: #2ee668;]The air was warm today. The sky was blue, a dark blue, the color right before the storm. That's why it was warm, the humidity was just rising. The clouds, which were visibly rolling, had started to ascend the mountain, rising as the land rose, growing bigger with each passing second.


    From his vantage point on the courtyard wall, he saw the clouds beginning to dump their contents. The constant rain that never made it over to BloodClan's territory behind the mountains. "YO TSUBOMI!" Jester called, noticing the movement down below. He had an idea.


    A soulless idea.

    [align=center][font=georgia][size=8]Darn, it was her first day of training and it was raining. Why today of all days? Giving a huff, Tsubomi's ears pricked at the sound of her mentor's voice. How had Jester become her trainer? She didn't know, and frankly didn't care. Rumors were that he was strong. He could continue her hunting and fighting training that had been suspended ever since she left BreezeClan.


    Wanting to get this over with before it really started pouring, Snake of Concealing Eyes, Snake, Concealingeyes, or whatever one wanted to call Tsubomi, started at an easy 'jog' towards the demoted Count's voice. Surely if he had once been a high position, he was extremely strong. Plus, he was a tiger, so she was getting a super-good deal apprenticeship-wise. Except now she was called a Baronet. "Yes, Jester?" the blue she-cat asked, glancing around with dark eyes for her mentor.

    [fancypost bgcolor=transparent; border: 0px; width: 400px;text-align: justify; font-family:georgia; size: 8pt; color: #2ee668;]"Where are you from? And show me how you fight there!" Jester said, stepping a few steps away. He took up a fighting stance, eyes narrowing. It was about time they had new fights. The tribe was failing, hopefully this blue she-cat could turn it around.


    The tiger shook his pelt out, flexing his muscles and rolling his shoulders. "Come on! Spit it out!We don't have all day!" Jeser huffed, bouncing lightly on the balls of his paws.

    [align=center][font=georgia][size=8]"I-I came from BreezeClan," Tsubomi stuttered, taken by surprise with the tiger's demand. How did they fight there? With the clan being neutral, she had learned some basic non-fatal fighting moves for self-defense or just for whenever the group demanded a warrior's fighting skills. She was an apprentice then. Now she was a Baronet. Crouching down, the light blue she-cat kept her claws sheathed as she leaped forward with quickness and ferocity.


    Instincts and memories were coming back to her. She remembered training with Cierva, Littlelion, Chasingpavements, Hazel, and all the other warriors and Elites. Plus, she couldn't forget her siblings and the other apprentices. There were many to name, but Tsubomi remembered them all. She missed them terribly, but couldn't dwell on that now. Not when she was proving herself to a tiger of all things!


    With that swiftness, Tsubomi leaped forward and into the air, aiming to land on the huge feline's back. She wouldn't pin him, but when on him or a real enemy, she could swipe her claws, or in this case, sheathed paws across his neck. If only she could land...


    BreezeClan cats were known for their swiftness and ferocity. Perhaps not as fast as WindClan, but even Venomstar and Breeze were WindClanners, and their blood flowed in her and all of her old clanmates. It was the quicker thinking and strategics over physical agility which made them deadly. But would that be enough for Jester?

    [fancypost bgcolor=transparent; border: 0px; width: 400px;text-align: justify; font-family:georgia; size: 7pt; color: #2ee668;]Jester's eyes traced over her form briefly. It was clear she was going for a frontal assault, her eyes gave everything away. But she hesitated, which was not alright with Jester. Oh boy was it very, very wrong.


    "Claws out! You have to fight like you mean it, even when sparring!" he said, side-stepping, but not without getting a slap on the back from the flailing paw of the newbie. "Your fast, I'll give you that, but CLAWS OUT! Cuts and scars toughen us up! And for the love of all that is mighty, don't hesitate when you attack! It lets everyone know exactly what you were planning!"


    A memory of Nefarious sparked inside the tiger's brain. He hadn't actually thought of the past for some time. Not since... well, not since the incident with Cusun. It was strange to think he had lost him not even a year ago. It felt like a lifetime, what with all these troublesome issues arising.


    "Again." Jester said, assuming his fighting stance again, head down and trained on the blue cat.

    [align=center][font=georgia][size=8]"I didn't hesitate," the she-cat muttered darkly, but unsheathed her claws and gazed at the tiger. Though neutral and leaning towards the anti-clan side, BreezeClan never trained with claws out. The Elites had tried to avoid as many injuries as possible within the clan from training accidents. But in a way, Tsubomi preferred this. It felt more natural to fight like you meant it, instead of mocking the art of battle by sheathing one's claws.


    Looking for an opening, the Baronet trained her eyes on the left side of the tiger, though in actuality she darted to the right, feinting around Jester's large, striped head and aiming to run her claws down his flank. If that was successful, she would dart to the side to avoid a large sweep of his paws or any other attack he may try to land.

    [fancypost bgcolor=transparent; border: 0px; width: 400px;text-align: justify; font-family:georgia; size: 7pt; color: #2ee668;]Jester shifted his weight slightly, his eyes flickering over her face, searching for an opening. Her body was tense, ready for action, eyes locked on his side. Was she smart enough to do such a frontal feign?


    There wasn't enough time to think, the tiger spun, just as claws caught his front shoulder, blood welling up quickly. His paw was out, aiming to smack her side, maybe leaving a few puncture wounds behind, but she was already out of striking distance. His face was blank of emotion, and he could feel his body trying to favor the un-clawed shoulder. No pain, only physical nerve receptors. "Your fast, it gives you the upper paw." The tiger said, taking a few steps back to lengthen the distance between himself and the agile ex-Breezeclanner.


    "Opponents, if they're smart, will try to double the distance, it'll give them more time to think about your moves. Stay close, but it comes down to it, remember to sprint, a target zone in mind, but change right before the assault. Mind-readers and anyone smart enough to actually evaluate an opponent will be stumped." Jester dove forward, feigning a frontal attack to judge her reaction speed before backing away.

    [fancypost bgcolor=color; border:none; height: px; width:400px; font-family:georgia; font-size:8pt; text-align: center;][abbr=Tsubomi Kido || Female || Tribe of Many Storms || Baronet || 9 Moons || Powers: The Sight, Invisibility || Head of the Mekakushi-Dan Organization || Possessed by the Snake of Concealing Eyes][/abbr]
    Tsubomi beamed with pride on the inside. At least some of her time in BreezeClan had paid off. She had stumped a tiger! However, the blue she-cat listened to his words and considered them carefully. If anything, she would need to close the distance now before he tried anything. Too late.


    Seeing the massive paw coming towards her, the Baronet didn't think quick enough to dodge, but rather, reared onto her haunches and threw her unsheathed paws up to hopefully block any major attack that might have crushed her head. Then Tsubomi realized it was simply a test. Suppressing a hiss of irritation with herself, the she-cat lashed her tail.


    However, she wasn't finished yet. If he was going to take her by surprise, Tsubomi was going to take him by surprise. This was when the unexpected happened. Eyes turning to a bright pastel red, the blue feline suddenly became invisible. She didn't mean to, but the Baronet was unable to control the power gained that one day....


    Not noticed she had concealed her physical appearance, Tsubomi tried going for a frontal attack like he had, but with her small size, ducked under the massive feline in an attempt to slice his underbelly. Not hard, as digging her claws in too deep could severely injure a tiger, but aimed it with precision to make it bleed a bit. All while she was still invisible. If one had the Sight, they could see her spirit, or perhaps she could be heard, but it was simply the cloaking of her physical self which named the ability Concealing Eyes.

    [fancypost bgcolor=transparent; border: 0px; width: 400px;text-align: justify; font-family:georgia; size: 7pt; color: #2ee668;]Jester's face remained blank as he watched her reaction. Slow, but still smart enough to work in blocking a blow. She was small, and agile, a frontal block like that wouldn't do anything.


    "With your speed, try going with the moment of the fight to get.... up... close." She had disappeared before he could finish his sentence. To Jester, invisibility was one of the most tricky powers. However, he had trained with Nefarious as well as Cusun. Nefarious had taught him to fight against the unseen, and Cusun had taught him to listen.


    Jester closed his eyes immediately and took a few steps back, spreading his weight equally, his paws splayed and pressed hard into the ground. His ears were up, but he didn't need them, not now. The vibrations were felt easily through the courtyard stones. If it had been sand or maybe even dirt, he would have to look and listen, but this time, all he needed to do was feel.


    The soft sound and even scratch of claws on stone were felt not only in his ears, but in his paws, and Jester leaped straight up, tail swishing against the stone as he did. His body seemed to hang in suspension, time slowing as he forced his body into an angled rotation. He spun, time sped up, and he landed gracefully a few feet away, eyes still closed, trying to pick up her vibrations again. It would only be a matter of time before she got him, he had to think. "Fast. When were you gonna tell me you had a fuckin' power!"


    Jester spun his body forward, his good arm coming down on the ground; His pivot point. A clawed paw spun out as his momentum carried him through the pivot, aiming at the spot he had just jumped from. He made the pivot extra wide, his arm extended further out then normally to cover the most space, just in case she had shifted.

    Hearing his comment, Tsubomi looked from Jester back down to herself, noticing he had jumped and dodged her attack. Now? This had to happen now? she thought, hissing in frustration with herself. The Baronet had hoped that she could keep quiet about her odd ability and what caused it for as long as she could. What would happen now that he knew? It would only be a matter of time before everyone else knew.


    Too lost in thought to see his other attack, Tsubomi was hit hard by her mentor's large paw. Knocked backward a good few meters, the she-cat gave a grunt as the breath was knocked out of her as she hit the courtyard's stony ground. From the tiger's claws, the Baronet was bleeding from her shoulder and upper flank now. Trying to pick herself up, she knew that she was still invisible. Why? Why did this have to happen? She hadn't asked for her Concealing Eyes ability.


    Sitting up weakly, with her physically cloaking power fading with her weakness and pain, Tsubomi answered with heavy breaths. "I can't control it. The power is called Concealing Eyes, but it just happens somehow when I am not aware. I'm sorry," she confessed, attempting to pick herself completely up off the ground. Nearly falling again, but still holding herself up, the Baronet rose to her feet. She never thought she would have to apologize to Jester for anything, but the blue she-cat still had a sense of fairness. She was determined to never use that ability in battle, as the cheating of it could cost someone their life. At least this was her current philosophy- unintentional softness. Weakness.

    [fancypost bgcolor=transparent; border: 0px; width: 400px;text-align: justify; font-family:georgia; size: 7pt; color: #2ee668;]Jester opened his eyes, watching as her form flickered into view, as if the mist from a window was slowly being wiped away. He had hit her, which was good, he had never actually been able to follow through with one of those moves. Pivots were always off balance, but he must have had himself high enough in the air to follow through with his momentum. His body didn't want him to put weight on the arm though. Funny, he didn't even feel pain.


    "Then we have to get you to control it! And it's just invisibility, I would ask for it, not against it! Man you are thick!" He took a step forwad, his eyes orange and blazing with anger. "Other's have powers, other's know how to use them! Without one, you are at a disadvantage! YOU TAKE WHAT YOU CAN! Cheat your way in battle, nothing is dirty in a battle, ever! I'm going to have to train you in your power, now, apparently, as your two stupid to even realize it's an asset."


    That made Jester nervous. He still wasn't entirely sure how to control his. He was decent with his molecule manipulation, had gotten incredibly good with freezing water. Melting and boiling was the real issue, and he only knew how to hold in the power to change his pelt and eyes. It always seemed to find a way to leak out with his emotions, however.

    [fancypost bgcolor=color; border:none; height: px; width:400px; font-family:georgia; font-size:8pt; text-align: center;][abbr=Tsubomi Kido || Female || Tribe of Many Storms || Baronet || 9 Moons || Powers: The Sight, Invisibility || Possessed by the Snake of Concealing Eyes][/abbr]
    The Baronet laid her eyes back in shame, frustration, and slight anger as Jester went off on how she needed to use it. Fight dirty in a battle? BreezeClan fought dirty and fair. Couldn't they be used together here too? Though her former clan relied on cunning over brute force, Tsubomi was definitely getting more than she had ordered here. That was good, right?


    "Then if that's the case, teach me how to control it," she retorted harshly, still embarrassed and touchy about her power. If anything, it didn't completely belong to her, but Tsubomi had never experienced much in the supernatural realm. She only knew the stories her mother, Sagittarius, had told her and allowed her to see. Never before would the Baronet ever conclude she had her own power. Not until a few moons ago, at least.

    [fancypost bgcolor=transparent; border: 0px; width: 400px;text-align: justify; font-family:georgia; size: 7pt; color: #2ee668;]Jester shook his head. He had issues with his own powers. Fighting to keep them under control when his emotions became to much, fighting to stop them was his main and only issue. "Only you can train it. I can't tell your body how to use it, only you can. But I can guide you. What do you feel every time you disappear? Or what do you think of then it happens?"

    Tsubomi gave a sigh. "I don't really recognize it. My eyes change and it happens. They become red I think. At least that's what I was told. And I know the cause of my power and that it really isn't my own, but when I do become invisible, I eventually notice," she replied half-hardheartedly, obviously not very comfortable about discussing the entire thing. There was so much more to it than it just being a simple 'power'. Besides, the only reason she had it was because she died that day... or nearly, and there was only one thing keeping her alive.

"Well, does it occur when your in a dangerous situation? Then it calls on fear or adrenaline or anger or what ever you feel when your close to death." He felt all of those during his near-death experiences.


    //museless sorry. Have had issues both OOCly and ICly. Sorry.

    "It can, but it usually doesn't happen based on adrenaline or fear. I think it's more spiritual than anything, if you believe in that sort of stuff," Tsubomi replied. She wasn't being much help, but then again, she didn't know the first thing about controlling her 'spiritual' self. Maybe that was the key to mastering her ability.


    //I understand! D: I've sort of wasted my muse and am tired.

Jester said, sitting down and digging his claw into the sand and dirt between two cobblestones. He knew a lot about spiritual connections and what not. Possessed by a god, kicked his own soul out, now he's soulless. Yeah. "When did it happen? Your ability? Date and time, not 'Oh about a few years ago'. How many years? How many moons, exactly."

    Oh, she really wanted to hit him. Rarely did anyone call Tsubomi a dipshit and get away with it. But unfortunately, hitting Jester right now would be pretty bad form and overall not a good idea. "It happened about five moons ago, I think. In mid-February, I nearly died in a fire along with my sister. I remember being burned and possibly passed out, when I saw a strange place and something..." Tsubomi trailed off, attempting to recall what had happened. She had never examined it in detail before, so the act of remembering was hard.


    "I saw a large black snake with red eyes. It asked me something, but I can't remember what. Then everything went dark. That's all I can remember," she concluded, lowering her head in slight disappointment. Hopefully this was enough to satisfy the tiger. Little did she realize that she was possessed, and it was though that snake where her powers came from.
