My name is Oro and I will be your teacher for today.
Damien put his hands up as if to shield himself. He looked forward and saw the shadow move closer to him. A man walked out of the shadows and smoke. The man could now be seen clearly. His distinguishing features were in his near total baldness, extreme age, and glowing red eyes. He was wearing a simple, worn cloth garment around his right shoulder covering everything to his knees, long black tight pants that reached his ankles and a beaded necklace around his neck that reached all the way to his mid chest. A mysterious hermit he had never seen before but his spiritual pressure that he was leaking out was more than enough to leave a print on Damien so he could remember exactly who he is on later references. Damien placed his hands down and saw the hermit draw closer to him. To Damien he seemed to be one hundred and forty years old. The man was standing at a good five feet eleven inches, and had his right arm tied behind his back. He seemed so serious yet so happy. That was very odd for Damien. He never saw such a person with the compatibility of having a strong aura yet be so gentle. The man stood very close to Damien and smiled deeply as though he was reading him. He spoke towards Damien confidently.
"My, my you're a troubled young fellow. Damien is it? Well, my name is Oro and I will be your teacher for today." Damien tilted his head to the right slightly in a questioning manner. Oro laughed and got into stance. His stance was getting in a half squat and placing his free arm in the fighter style "crane." Damien raised a brow not knowing if he should fight or pity him. Oro quickly dashed forward and in blinding speed, hit Damien's stomach, rib, neck and chest areas a few times before sending him flying. Damien crashed onto the floor harshly. He shook his head and tried to stand up noticing that his vitals were damaged rather quickly. Damien cursed under his breath and noticed Oro was standing before him. Oro's aura was now losing some of it's the gentleness. Damien's eyes widened. "A wise strategist gathers all his information before he does something hasty." Oro said in a tone that was serious yet so calm and helpful. "The burden in your heart must be confronted or you will never find your true potential. With you just saying I wish, or I will, or sooner, or later you believe that will help you but your wrong. Stop making excuses you must act now." Damien growled and got up ignoring all pain his body was producing. Damien swung towards Oro multiple times. Oro though, moved perfectly out of the way of the attacks and spoke while the punches were being launched. "There is still much pain in your heart. I can feel it, you found another and yes the pain left for a bit but you feel it's not enough is it true?" Damien screamed and swung harder. Oro then punched hard onto Damien stomach knocking the air out and stunning him. Damien got onto one knee mad held his stomach. He could not believe this. "How is this possible?" Damien thought "Choose the right" Oro continued. "Only you can account for your actions no other can be blamed. So what are you going to choose?" Damien got his breath back. Damien glared at Oro and wondered how was it possible he was loosing to a guy fighting with one arm. He looked at the ground and spat out some saliva stuck in his throat. Damien had noted that there was some blood was in the spit. Damien then slammed his hands onto the floor and shot out at Oro.
"You don't understand what your saying old man! You don't know what I have been through!" Oro rubbed his chin and looked at Damien. "Don't I? Take a look at my eyes and tell me I don't know" Damien looked at his eyes. There in Oro's' eyes were a million stories inside. Millions of experiences and ideas he had experience. Damien had to look away. With just a glimpse it seemed like he had gone through more than a million days. "Well If I'm so weak in your eyes then why don't you just kill me?" Damien said as though his pain was growing even more from inside. Oro smiled and spoke calmly. "I would kill you but I would never accept it. Besides it seems to me that someone has blocked the fighter in you that once was strong and now has left like this. It's time to awaken the warrior within you once again and fight as the true fighter you are. I fight with my arm tied behind my back due to my wanting to limit myself. You in the other hand can't even comprehend the power you have in you." Damien got lost in his thoughts again. "What can I do? Everything I tried to do always backfires on me. But, what if what he is saying is true?" Oro raised a hand to Damien's face and his hand glowed. Damien then started to reminisce.
Damien was in the garden with Kinna and he had placed the sword down. As the sword was no longer in contact with him the sword faded away. The bag of Holy Herb fell onto the ground. He got on one knee and with nervous eyes looked up at her eyes. Many may see this as a little puppy looking up to its owner. He built up every once of courage he had and asked her in the form he had been practicing for so long so he wouldn't screw up.
"Kinna you make me happy, I will never let you go
You are in deep into my skin; you are in to deep into my heart
You're so important to me, the world stops when I think of you
I want a future with you; I want to be with you
I want to love you, and I do love you
I hope we can love, the way were suppose to
I hope I can live together and be happy with my love
I want you everyday; I miss you when you're gone
I'm here on my knees and even if the world is against it
I'll ask you again and again, the words I know you want to hear
Will you be mine? Will you bond with me?
Will you do me the honor? That maybe soon
You will marry me? Please don't hesitate or make me worry
I love you to no end, my rose, my heart, my soul, my life."
Kinna gasped happily as she looked at Damien's eyes. Kinna's' eyes seemed to glimmer with happiness and at the same time so dark and filled with disgust. Something then froze the time Damien could move freely though and he noticed Oro behind Kinna. Oro was giving his back to Damien but had his head facing tilted slightly to Damien so he could still see his glowing red eyes. Damien could see Oro had his arm tied very firmly to his back. Oro spoke loud and clear and it sounded though his voice echoed from everywhere. "You were always so naive you know? Look at her eyes and you can see that everything you are doing is according to what she wanted. Not for the fact you want to marry her no, that's not it at all. Although she seems content with the idea, you can also see that she has you where she wants you. She has you by the collar and has weakened your hearts content to her own will" At the sight of Kinna's' eyes next to all the happiness could be seen a cold feature as though she had been expecting this. Oro continued as he now looked forward not allowing his eyes to be seen, "And watch what she tells you next and why you are no longer the same fighter you were and why you can't catch up to me if you stay like this." Damien's smile almost faded as everything went back to normal and she nodded yes wildly. "Yes, Damien I will." Damien's smile returned and hugged her tight and he began closing his eyes. A few moments later he opened his eyes he saw Oro was in front of him with his back still turned to him. Kinna then kissed Damien's neck then looked at him. "But promise me something." Damien looked at Kinna and smiled responding. "I'll do anything for you." Kinna smiled it seemed that she was keeping in a smirk. "Don't ever fight or kill anymore. I just don't want us to be fighting anymore. I just want us to live together in peace." Laughing lightly Damien nodded then tried to hold Kinna tighter but she disappeared from his arms the whole garden vanished. Everything was gone and only Damien and Oro stood now. Oro now looked hard onto Damien's eyes. Damien had a shocked expression on. He was so shocked that he couldn't get swirled into Oro's' eyes like he did last time. He didn't know what to think or say. Anger was swelling up inside Damien. Oro had to break the silence and spoke loud and clear; "Now why do you think she would do that? Certainly she would know that your full strength is needed in the real life but why would she limit you? Let go of this. Release yourself and show you true potential as a fighter." Damien then widened his eyes and let out a battle cry. Thus, he would be releasing his purple fire throughout the whole field. Damien felt the power he held back for such a long time and with that it began to hurt his body due to the resistance he had made against it for such a long time. He knew that if he wanted to use this power he would only have but a few minutes with it before he would have to start crashing. His flame grew an even deeper shade of purple as though it was the brightest yet darkest color to be ever seen.
Damien's mind was now on the arena again. He looked at the ground. His anger was fading but he felt his power intensifying more and more. He clenched his fists and looking at Oro that stood with that same confident smile before him. He quickly dashed towards him and floor swept Oro. Damien finally got him. Slipping, Oro back flipped and landed correctly. Oro smiled as though he was proud. Damien got to his feet and activated his fire. Damien's aura grew as his energy grew as well consuming his side of the arena showing that his energy was strong but very unstable. It was still not close to that of Oro's' in which he managed to keep close to his like a burning candle. Damien still talked confidently, "You're right. I can't keep this in my chest any more. I can't keep living with this. I have to reawaken the fighter within me and use my full potential. I can't believe I'm saying this but thank you." Damien's flame grew as he closed his eyes. He smiled now feeling the burden leave him slightly, but he knew the rest would only leave if the cowards would only show themselves. He was ready now everything was getting onto place. Oro smiled and looked at his arm as though he was talking to it. Oro then turned to Damien with a smile on. "You're a good opponent Damien, my right arm wants to fight you, but for your own safety I must resist. You have the potential and all the tools you need now to grow even stronger. Use them to grow and to learn to choose the right. When you get stronger Damien, come back, and challenge me again." Oro then looked back down to his arm. Damien then opened his eyes and smiled as he dashed towards Oro. Oro smiled and looked over to Damien's way. "I know this is one match I will enjoy, even if it came with a life lesson" Damien thought as he jumped towards Oro and punched downwards with all his fire right behind him making a purple flash engulf the field.
