[b][u]A Flame in the Dark[/u][/b]
[b]Anri sprinted out of her apartment that night, terrified of something. For an entire day, her body had been covered in fire. She felt like she was burning up inside. Her eyes had gone from light green to dark maroon. And when thinking about close friends, like Vio, Yuria, Sketch, and Kross, a sword would occasionally form in her hand. Coiled, 6 feet long, and always on fire.
She ran towards the training grounds. The place she usually went to forget about things. Maybe...maybe she would be able to calm down...with just one good fight.[/b]
[spoiler]Open as usual![/spoiler]

-
[spoiler]Still sad.[/spoiler] [b]An ember rises off of her armor.[/b] [u]"It's nothing...trust me, Rorek."[/u]
-
[u]Anri, you remind me so much of my sister and I hate to see you sad....Please tell me what's wrong.[/u] [spoiler]Yeah, kinda is[/spoiler]
-
[u]"Just...quit questioning everything."[/u] [b]Anri begins to approach Rorek, becoming dead serious.[/b]
-
[b]He sighs, backing up[/b] [u]Damn it Anri....Don't do this....[/u] [b]He powers up then runs at her, slashing[/b]
-
[b]She barely blocks, but the force of the attack makes Anri hit the ground. She crawls away, rising and raising her sword once more.[/b]
-
[u]Anri, are you sure your up for this? I can't sense any fighting spirit from you.[/u]
-
[u]"Just..."[/u] [b]She doesn't say anything else, although there's a slight tint of anger in her voice. Anri approaches at a faster pace.[/b]
-
[b]He prepares himself for the attack[/b]
-
[b]She began to hold her blade down, and then charged towards Rorek. As soon as she got close enough to him, she swung upwards with considerable strength.[/b]
-
[b]He moves to block, his blade getting moved upward as he raises an eyebrow. He spins past her and slashes[/b]
-
[b]She raised her own blade to block he slash, but it pushed her back. Anri gained her bearings and went to attack Rorek again.[/b]
-
[b]He parties her then pushes her back with a palm strike to her chest[/b]
-
[b]Being pushed back, Anri looks a little angry. She charges once more, swinging rapidly.[/b]
-
[b]He sidesteps the slashes, then knocks her sword away[/b] [u]You remind me so much of myself when I was younger.[/u]
-
[b]She backs away, shaking her head.[/b] [u]"Why is that?"[/u] [b]Anri looks over towards her sword.[/b]
-
[u]Full of anger, and no idea how to harness it[/u]
-
[b]She just looks at Rorek, then sighs.[/b]
-
[u]You keep going down this path, and you will destroy yourself. You'll only want to hurt and kill.[/u]
-
[u]"So how do I fix this? How do I make things right again?"[/u] [b]The aura of heat around Anri picks up.[/b]
-
[u]You have to learn to harness that power, control it. You must understand it as well, learn your limitations.[/u]
-
[u]"O-okay..."[/u] [b]She sighs, shaking her head.[/b]
-
[b]He walks up and places a hand on her shoulder[/b] [u]Now tell me what's been going on, how did this start?[/u]
-
[u]"In the arena with Kross. We were just fighting, and he taunted me. I snapped...lost control. And now... Why would he do that? He helped me in Irithyll..."[/u]
-
[u]I don't know why he would do that, but it seams you've had this power locked away. He just pushed you and unlocked it.[/u]
-
[u]"I...I guess. Look, you seem to be the expert on these...Y'know, secondary forms. Is there anything else I need to know?"[/u]
