"Ah. Now that is helpful. We never had those where we were so we never trained with them. If you two would like to rest a little more, maybe Lilis wouldn't mind a short spar with me?" Kilian suggested and new shadow emerged.
“Why not? I just got back from my hunt and Karita is not in any immediate peril.” Lilis said and pulled off her cloak to stand in her bodysuit. “You’re starting to slack Hash. I wonder how much closer I could have gotten to Zuki if Kilian hadn’t given me away?”
Hash looked uneasy and avoided looking at Lilis. This would mean some training with her later. He dreaded the experience… Lilis was strenuous when it came to training.

Zuki didn't know this either. He was suprised on how she hid her scent very well, blending into the surrounding. Zuki shrugged and backed up, going to watch.
Foxtrot was suprised about Kilian and Lilis going to spar. "But Kilian is blind! How is he possibly going to win? Mister Kilian, why do you want to spar with Lilis?"

Kilian chuckled, tossing his own cloak aside. "Neither of us are intending to win Foxtrot. I just want to make sure my old skills aren't getting rusty. May I barrow a sword from you Lilis?"
Lilis threw one of her purple swords to Kilian, who caught it easily. She then settled into a crouch. Kilian brought his sword up and crouched also.
"When you're-" He was cut off by Lilis' attack. She'd come down almost on top of him. She jumped back and then came at him again, from behind. Lilis made Kilian dance fine circles, dodging, blocking, and returning attacks.

Foxtrot widened his eyes and watched them. He backed up behind a torch and watch at such power and agility they had. Kilian didn't get hit once at all. He was so suprised for the blind guy. "Wow..." he said, gasping through his mouth. "Kilian must be an expert if he can do it while blind. How does he do it?"

"Kilian's other senses are stronger now that he is blind and he can hear Lilis' sword and how she moves. That is how he is able to defend himself against her... plus she moves a little slower for him. Her combination of Vampire and Demon make her far more deadly than a normal vampire so she sometimes has to slow herself down when she spars with someone else to keep from killing them on accident or too quickly if she's in the mood for fun." Hash explained as they watched Lilis back Kilian up and then turn him so that she could back him in another direction.

Zuki watched every move, wondering if he would learn anything new. He did, find out some new tricks and manuverings that could aid him in battle.
Foxtrot watched in awe when they fought. "Kilian is so skilled. But did you say Lilis is more powerful? Wow..." He wondered how much power she had, but he was glad that she was on the good side.

"When Lilis was little more than a fledgling vampire, she got drafted into a mercenary corp. She learned most of her techniques there and some she made herself over time." Hash began to explain to Foxtrot. "But then she got picked for a particularly dangerous mission in the Nether Realms. Dev, her demon brother, and his clan were having problems with a demon from another clan. This demon had injured his sister, Kaie, so they needed a mercenary to get rid of the other demon. Kaie was the heir to her clan and Daedra didn't have any other daughters, but Kaie fixed that. She actually did something illegal by giving her essence to Lilis, but that worked out for the better. Lilis got initiated into the clan, succeeded in her mission, and is now the new heir for the clan. Her demonic side makes her very powerful, especially since Kaie was a very powerful demon before she was destroyed."
Lilis landed a heavy blow on Kilian and he grunted with strain. He pushed back on Lilis and she jumped back. He shook his head, sweat dripping from his face and clinging to his hair. Lilis lowered her sword.
"Ah, thank you Lilis." Kilian said thankfully and tossed her sword back to her. "Perhaps we can do that again sometime?"
"Yes, that would be fun." Lilis replied and went back to pick up her cloak. "You're relieved old man. Get a bath, a meal, and go to bed."
"I'm not old and my shift isn't over."
"I don't care, I'll fill for you."
"But Lilis, I insist on finishing my shift. I'm not tired, I promise."
Lilis pulled her cloak back on and was silent for a moment. "Very well. Get a bath and a meal. I'll fill for you until you return."
Kilian grinned, shook his head, and bowed to Lilis. "Thank you Lilis."
"Go already old man." Lilis teased and Kilian walked off, chuckling softly.

Foxtrot was really interested with the story. "Wow. I could learn alot from her. I want to see what it's like in the Nether Realms too!" He thought it would be interesting to see a bunch of demons. He never seen one, exept those two. "How did you know so much about Lilis?" he then asked.
Zuki thought this was enough rest and he approached out into the center. He turned and waited for Foxtrot, who was still talking. He waited patiently for him.

"Because Hash went through the mercenary corps with me." Lilis said with a small smile for Foxtrot. "If milord, King Zuki, doesn't mind me barrowing you for a day or two, I'll take you with me next time I have to visit my clan. Right now though, I think you'd better get back out there and practice with him."
Lilis melted back into the flickering shadows of the torchlight. Hash drifted back too. Now it looked like Foxtrot and Zuki were alone in the training yard, but the other two vampires were still there.

Foxtrot was then handed the wooden sword again and was put up in a fighters stance. He looked around and wondered, "Where did they go?"
Zuki then struck down at his shoulder and said, "Don't keep your eyes away from your opponent. Always watch your enemy."
Foxtrot yelped and staggered backwards and swung his sword at him, but it only got blocked. He then was back at having to block blow after blow, but only suceeded only a few times. He then learned what Kilian said. Keep your eye on your enemy He then watched Zuki, instead at the weapon and saw how he swung it. He then raised and blocked it easily. He then spotted an opening to swing his weapon and attempted. He swung as hard as he can to hit Zuki's side. *smack!* Foxtrot just realised he hit Zuki on his side and he felt proud of himself for a moment, until Zuki swung his sword and hit him across the head. Foxtrot backed away and rubbed his head momentairly, until continuing again. This time, he watched Zuki and looked for an opening, but whenever he found one, Zuki managed to block it. He wondered how he knew when to block it, but he may never find out.
After several minutes of fighting, Zuki stopped attacking and Foxtrot was breathing heavily. They backed away from each other and Zuki spoke, "That's enough for tonight. You may go do... whatever now."
Foxtrot nodded and sighed happily and collapsed to the ground. He felt like he could feel every bruise in his body. "Man... so many hits in one day. It hurts." His head was pounding from the hit from the head.

Kilian and Lilis walked out of the shadows. Hash disappeared off somewhere else since he wasn't really on duty. Kilian smiled encouragingly at Foxtrot before following Zuki. Lilis looked around before sitting down beside Foxtrot.
"You'll be sore tomorrow and a few days after, but good job though." She commented softly, drawing designs in the dirt. "Kara says that you and I could talk each other silly about the stars. But I think you should go to bed, after you get a warm bath ease your tired and bruised muscles. Would you like me to carry you?"

Foxtrot smiled weakly and respond with a sigh, "I feel weak. I think I can't move my legs. It hurts. I want to be like you. Strong and quick." He managed to sit up and stretched himself, but his left arm took a good beating, so he winced and rolled up his sleeve to see the damage. It was badly bruised top to bottom. His arm was slightly swollen in pain. He couldn't belive his arm was like that.
Zuki walked away from them and looked back at Kilian. "You two put up a good show. I learned a little about your style of fighting. It was more quick and easier to do." He looked foward and remembered Foxtrot hitting him on the side. "Luckily he got me." He then said.

Lilis smiled. "You may get there yet." She said softly and put one arm under Foxtrot's legs and the other behind his shoulders and then stood up. "But you have a ways to go though. I'll get a bath going for you and then afterwards I'll look at your bruises, make sure you didn't crack a bone either. Are you going to practice with him again tomorrow and would you like me to get you some food while you bathe?" Lilis asked him as she walked back towards the palace.
Kilian smiled and chuckled softly. "Lilis moves a lot faster with someone who can match her qualities more evenly than myself. But thank you, I accept your praise." Kilian said softly from where he walked behind Zuki. "You know, I doubt Lilis would have even responded to you. You did good though, when you hired her. She takes her job very seriously."

Zuki shrugged. "All I know is that she has it. She knows when to attack or not I belive." he continued on hiw way as he wondered. "I know I am not as good as her." He said with great distaste, even though he knew it was the truth. "But if Foxtrot masters me, I might order her to train Foxtrot."
Foxtrot felt comfortable in her hands. He smiled and looked at her face. "That would be wonderful. You're really nice." He smiled and closed his eyes, relaxing in her arms. "I'm going to practice with King Zuki everyday, even if it hurts me. I want to be the best, so I could be one of his bodyguards!" he told her cheerfully. "He saved my life, so I want a day to save his."

Lilis smiled again. "I'm only nice to children. They... are innocent... of the crimes of adults." She glanced down at him and then back at the palace. "Then I shall try to be around everyday to pick you up off of the field and take care of you afterwards. If I can't, maybe Kara will. But you should rest at least one day Foxtrot, or you'll wear your body out with all of your training. Why not take the last day of the week to rest? Then maybe you wouldn't be tired for the next day of training after having some fun with your friends."
"Lilis had get through some hard knocks to get to where she is now. Constantine did too, though he's not quite as good as his mother. She does not always have to attack to preserve you and your family's life. That's why she has a network set up and most of her friends were in the corps with her." Kilian said quietly. "She would raze the earth and the Nether Realms to keep you all safe."

Foxtrot smiled and scooted up in her arms and laid with her holding her securly(SP). He liked Lilis. "I'm glad your like that. I want to be your friend. Can I be trained by the demons if I happen to surpass Zuki?" He asked. "But that will be forever. I probably won't be able to do it, until for next few years."
Zuki smiled. "Well then. I guess it was the right thing that I accepted her then. She could as easily overturn and able to control the kingdom if I am not careful. I'm still a weakling in this world. I only have vampiric strength and my own with powerful magic to support my strength, that's all."

Lilis tilted her head and the guards opened the doors for her. "I do not think that would be a good idea Foxtrot. Not all demons or half-demons are as... kind, I guess, as I am. Kreate, for example, is a Possessive Demon. He's tricky too. It wouldn't be safe for you to train in the Nether Realms or for certain demons to pass here to train you." She paused and looked around one of the hallways. "And I think your training should be decided by Zuki first. He should decide who'll be good to take over after he's gone as far as he can with you. Now, where is your room?"
Kilian chuckled. "I think she'd stake anyone who tried to do that to you, but she's pledged herself to your safety. She's not likely to do anything like that... at least not to you."

Foxtrot smiled and said, "Just up the stairs to the right. It's the first door." He then sighed. "I guess I will have to train with you next. Zuki might do that if I ask him."
Zuki nodded. "That's good then. I don't have to worry. To me, I think demons are unpredictable."

"Most of the time they are, but many demons that know Lilis are afraid of Kaie, her demon half. Kaie is unusually strong for a demon, stronger than Apocalypse whom they have chained within a firey core. Next time you see some demons hanging around her, watch them panic when she starts to lose her temper. It scares them."
Lilis followed his directions and stared at the door for a couple of seconds before it opened. "I will help train you now if you want. Teach you a few tricks in between lessons with Zuki and maybe you will surprise him sometime." She set him down on his bed and then went to start his bath. She came back and looked down at him. "What do you want to eat?"

Zuki chuckled. "She has a temper, but does she ever releases it? That's the problem, they should release their anger if it ever happens. I hate it when they build up."
Foxtrot smiled and said, "Roast duck would be great!"
(Grr, bell just rang)

"Okay, I will go and pester the cook. Can you make it to your bath on your own?" Lilis asked as she crossed to the door.
"Lilis tries not to hold in too much anger. That is why she likes to destroy things whenever you give her the chance. Fighting is the safest way for her to release most of her feelings without, say, releasing Apocalypse."

Foxtrot nodded and smiled as he relax on the bed for a little bit. He then decided to get up and walked towards the bath. He ached all over, but did his best to ignore the pain and walk towards the bath. He took off all his clothes and stepped in. The feeling of warm water made him feel relaxed as he entered in and relaxed. He sighed as he laid back and closed his eyes. He hummed a simple tune that his mother usually humms for him to go to bed. He loved humming that tune.
Zuki wondered. "What is this... Apocalypse like? I've heard of it once before. Is it bad?" He couldn't help, but ask him that. Dangerous things seems to interest him alot.

"Apocalypse is just as he sounds. He is said to be the demon that brings about the end, whether it is death or total destruction." Kilian explained, tilting his head. "He respects Kaie, but he's not afraid of her... not yet. He thinks he can control her, but he doesn't really know how much power she truly has and neither does Kaie. She is very dangerous because she is still coming into her power."
Lilis teleported to the kitchen, forced the cook into making roast duck, and stood by to make sure that he did it.

Zuki nodded. "Interesting. She should release an apocolypse whenever she builds up too much anger into herself." He made it to the throne room and sat down. He looked at Kilian and asked, "So, what was your day like? Since you made me begin talking now."
Foxtrot looked all over his body. Only his arm was swollen from the wrist, up, while his legs seemed to be badly bruised when he pressed down on it. His side feels like it was going to fall apart if you poke it. He decided to let the water soak into his skin and fur.

"Nothing unusual to say the least. Sparring with Lilis was a treat though. She's normally too busy. Whether she's checking on her people or scaring the normal guards into performing better in their duties." Kilian replied with a smile, staying near the shadows just incase Lilis decided to come by.
Lilis waited about an hour and a half before the duck done. She glared at the cook for taking so long to prepare it. She took the tray of food up to Foxtrot's room, but made a quick stop at her room along the way to grab a vial of lavender rubbing oil and some other healing oils. She planned on giving Foxtrot a massage and looking over his bruises before letting him go to bed.
"Foxtrot, I'm back." Lilis called as she entered his rooms and set the tray on a table. "You doing okay?"
