[i] Lance leans against the wall of the Monastery, his arms crossed and watching, before speaking up.[/i]
"Nice show, when are you selling tickets?"

-
[i]Hmmm, Lance- you're the initiate, she says telepathically.[/i] "Sadly I'm not an entertainer."
-
"You'd make a good one. I'm Lance, but you already knew that. Probably along with everyone else."
-
[i]She smiles.[/i] "I'm Aurora, but my real name's Ava Shaw. I teach other Genesis telepathy".
-
"Nice to meet you Ava, sorry I won't be one of your students, I'm a Watcher."
-
"That's interesting....I taught a watcher once- never thought I would". "We can always practice combat and other forms, as for your abilities- You would work with Helios. He's kind of the strong silent type who speaks lines from poetry".
-
[i] He nods.[/i] "Sounds good. Who'd you teach?"
-
"Evelyn, Kyler's daughter". "We haven't had anything strange like this except for Eos, who happens to be our first hybrid". [i]She begins to walk a trail.[/i]
-
[i] He takes a few steps.[/i] "Mind if I walk with you?"
-
"Of course," she says. "So why did you join our ranks"?
-
[i] He stuck his hands in his pockets.[/i] "I needed something to do with myself. The military wasn't me, although for 15 years it did me good." [i] He pulls his sleeve up to reveal a Delta Force emblem on his bicep, tattooed.[/i]
-
"Delta, the elite URNA army unit...greatest warriors on Earth I hear".
-
"Technically we don't exist." [i] He smiles.[/i]
-
"Military...our previous grandmaster served in World War 2- Ranger battalion. I remember his stories".
-
"What happened to him?"
-
"He was killed, by one of our own. He called himself Scorpion- leads the Legion now".
-
[i] Lance raises his eyebrows.[/i] "Damn."
-
"But all we can do is honor him now- just as the previous generations had done". "You understand what it's like having an old teacher...a mentor- a friend".
-
[i] He turns.[/i] "How'd you know that?"
-
"You may be a ronin, but every swordsman has their teacher". "We've all had someone we looked up to".
-
[i] Lance nods.[/i] "Yeah, you're right."
-
[i]She leads you to a hexagonal shaped building with a glass dome. Inside it, you see the armor and holograms of the previous members.[/i] "And this is where they are remembered. Students, teachers- friends, and family".
-
[i] Lance nods, looking around.[/i] "Which ones the previous grandmaster?"
-
[i]She walks to a hologram of a man clad in Crimson armor with gold trimmings.[/i] "Ryu, born 1918. Died 2184. Quite the life span. If I say so myself".
-
"Damn." [i] Lance remarks.[/i] "I know it's rude to ask, but how old are you?"
