"Yeah, it does... But I guess it doesn't really matter what I said to them, I'm not going back now... And they deserved it. What they did wasn't right..."

Hey cheer up. Lets take your mind off that, Im glad I found you, I need someones help with something and I'm not sure how much I could trust the rest of the people here.
-
What what do you need help with?
-
Well I found this wierd little box, I have no idea what it is, I tried to talk to one other person about it but they weren't much help. *he reaches into a pouch in his belt and pulls out a small glass box filled with tiny gears*
-
"Huh... That is interesting... Can I see it?"
-
Yeah here ya go. *hands sketch the box*
-
*He starts inspecting it, trying to turn the gears and such.* "Do you have any idea what it is? How it works or what it's supposed to do? Where did you get it?"
-
No, I have no idea about what it is or what its supposed to do. I found it on a troll that was tormenting a village, I found what appeared to be his camp a couple of days later, but when I searched through it I didn't find any hint as to what it was or where he got it
-
"Huh, that's very interesting...
-
yeah, I was hoping maybe there was some kind of library or something here were I might find some information on it
-
"Oh, yeah, there is..."
-
Terrific, can you show me?
-
"Yeah, follow me... Wait! You need to be tested first..."
-
Tested?
-
"Yeah... Everyone has to go through a trial by combat if they want to enter... Normally only lieutenants can but I've been given temporary permission to test people..." [spoiler]You don't need to actually win the fight... Also, if you pass the test the you can also join the Dojo if you want...[/spoiler]
-
Ok so what is this "test"?
-
"Well, we just fight until someone submits... Usually it's the person being tested but you succeed depending on how good we think you are or can be..."
-
Ah, I see, where do we battle?
-
"Here is fine..."
-
Ok, will we use practice swords or our own blades?
-
"Our own... I mean, we need to know how you'll fight..."
-
*Zak draws his blade and assumes a fighting stance*
-
*Sketch hands the cube thing to Sapphire who sits down against the wall a good distance away and starts fiddling with it. Sketch then touches the base of his neck, causing a katana with a glowing white blade to form in his hand, he also gets into a fighting stance.*
-
*Zak starts to circle around sketch*
-
*Sketch just turns so he continues facing him.*
-
*Zak smirks realizing sketch knows better than to strike first* Are we gonna just walk in circles all day? *He suddenly lunges forward bringing his sword down hard in a diagonal slash*
