Need A Guardian Angel? (Fredo)

[king]

The night was getting nor and more fearful for the civilians tonight but something in the town's graveyard seemed to be awakening from the dead. As a hand came popping up from a buried grave from 1864 and held the grave name of none other then Heishi Tenshi a former citizen that once lived in these lands when war and chaos ran among the innocent people of him world. Another hand popped out and Heishi continued to dig his way out of his 7 foot grave in which he was casted to from the gates of heaven due to committed one of the seven deadly sins he was now a fallen angel and had to redeem himself if he wanted to get back in the gates of heaven.

In no time Heishi finally spawned from his grave and awoke with everything that he had one him when he was casted down from heaven. " This can't be I'm a mortal once more?" Heishi couldn't believe that he was really casted down he was the heavens army best solider and removed just like that. This fueled Heishi with rage and new that if he wanted to get back into heaven he must die as a sarfice. Heishi wiped the dirt from his long blond hair and wiped most of his armor down. Heishi looked back only to see that he cross sword was still on his back scratching the dirt as Heishi stood due to its long reach. Heishi then kissed the cross that swung among his neck and lit up covering about a 20 foot radius and thus becoming his own light source. Heishi was bright and probably stuck out but he had no time to waist he must fur fill what was told to him when he was discarded from heaven.

"Oh what wonderful mysteries the night seems to bring.." What more could he say in the face of what could be observed at this time of night. it seemed as if The King of Bandits was being attracted to graveyards for some odd reason these days. For what reason though, he honestly didn't know. However, Not too far from where he had started to wonder into the area, he noticed a bright and shining light and.. someone standing right in the middle of it all.

That was too much to be a flashlight and surely, that was no lantern light. Could it be something worth while or something far more dangerous? Who knew? Certainly not Nouri, that was for sure. But whatever the case may be, it was something of interest and needed a closer look. With that in mind, he casually made his way over in the direction of the being shrouded in light, for better or for worst.

[king]

Heishi couldn't believe that he was an mortal once more and had to follow the rules of a mortal. Heishi need to fulfill what was told to him before he was discarded from heaven to gain access to heavens gates once more. Heishi need to protect a person and even if need to be die for them but he wouldn't do so if the person was weaker then him. He thought that if Heishi host couldn't surpass his strengths then he wouldn't be used as a guardian for him. " Where most I go now?" As Heishi spoke a Church's bell quickly rang again and again. Heishi got down on his knees and started to pray. "Oh Heavenly father I have had prayers answered most strangely so sometimes but I think you my heavenly Father your loving and kindness has been even more evident in what you have refused me.”After Heishi finished praying he stood up and began to head over the the Church to see if there was any priest that can pray for him.

Heishi walked and then distinguished the light that brighted him up so that he won't be noticed as anything different then a human. Heishi had no answer's for the weapons he carried and knew better then to bring them into the Church but also knew better then to leave them alone. Heishi wasn't worried about getting it stolen just that the blood of demons were on it and didn't want anybody to wander along and noticed it. The blood was green and had been stained into his sword so hiding it wouldn't be easy. Heishi removed his sword from his back and stuck it into the ground with it sticking up and held the appearance of a cross. Heishi did the same with his dagger and then moved toward the Church in hope of finding a priest for a pray.

[Tony Redgrave]

One thing he suddenly noticed while he was on the move was that well, it was a pretty darn foggy night. Nouri wasn't one to always roam about without taking in the area but this particular night was one of aimless wandering. He could hardly remember what road he took to get to this area or what little snack he had along the way.

Now that he had something to focus on, all was back to normal and he was spending his time chasing the glow, while fanning his hand to dissipate the silly bit of fog in front of his peepers. Sadly though, the light seemed to vanish as he got closer. But, not before he noticed an interesting landmark in front of him.

A little chapel in the middle of the graveyard. Reasonable considering the area and a nice little rest stop too! Perhaps the someone or something who emitted the light wasn't too far away.. maybe they were within the building per say? Best too look around first and check the area a bit. Cautiously, he moved around and took note of it all.

A Chapel..

Gravestones..

A freshly dug out plot of land...

Wait a second.. a freshly dug out little plot at this time of night?? Curious indeed. He trotted over to that area and stooped down just overlooking the edge of the hole and the area around it. There wasn't much dirt covering the ground around for the most part as when digging a grave or whatever, most people would push the dirt off to one side or at least make some sort of order. In fact, most of the dirt was within the hole and covering up quite a few bits here and there.

It was as if someone dug themselves out. What a spooky thought that was. Not too far from that, he could see two objects jutting out of the ground which he appeared to be blades of some sort. Easy to see because of the glistening the metal gave off in the moon light. Now that was something that deserved another quick look. Nouri quietly tip toed towards the giant looking sword within the ground, wondering if in fact he should maybe uproot it

[king]

Heishi continued to walk over to the Church thinking that his weapons would be unharmed or even noticed for the most part. Heishi got to the Church's door then looked up in the sky only to see the bright moon shinning down on him as if it was god himself looking down as his own guardian angel. Heishi still hated the fact that he most be used as a pawn for some human or anything that were to beat him in a challenge. The way this challenge would start is if the person challenges Heishi or if Heishi challenges the person. Heishi then proceed into the church and took a deep breathe as he looked around. "Father....is there a priest around I come for forgiveness...I wish to atone for my sins." There was no answer at all. Heishi wondered if he even disevered to be in a church but need to be forgiven by any means.

Heishi walked in the further in the church and went to go pray near a stand which held Jesus on a cross. " Father please forgiven my I have not known what I have done". Heishi spoke to the cross of Jesus while he knelt and fold his hands close to his face while his blond hair covered most of his face while he held his face down.

[Tony Redgrave]

"How interesting.." the young bandit remarked as he drew ever so nearer. Both of these weapons seemed to be crafted after a crucifix. Everything about these weapons pretty much mimicked the shape of one, the larger one especially. Even more so, he felt a mysterious presence from the giant.. zweihander of sorts. Warm and inviting and yet somehow, raging with what could best be described as focused rage. How could anyone get such an odd feeling from just looking at a sword like that?

But what was this odd stuff on the steel of the sword.

It looked to be green and seemed to have a sort of strange aura emitting from it as well. But.. it was dried up in a manner similar to blood. Considering all he had seen, he wouldn't surprised if was blood. But that couldn't happen. This thing just looked too impractical to be used in combat and just from a glance, he could see this thing was quite heavy. Who in the world would be strong enough to even lift that anyway?

Ah well, but turning his attention to the smaller dagger, that seemed a bit more practical for use and even seemed to look like it had some value. It seemed like bad luck to take something from a graveyard but, if anything.. just a little look wouldn't hurt. With a little tug, he freed the dagger from the earth from which it was stabbed into and studied it closely.

It looked valuable enough and based on the markings, it seemed to be connected to the chapel.. or so it seemed. But the door was cracked and it seemed someone had went in. He would have to put it back but for now, he kept it firmly in hand and darted past the steps and into the chapel itself.

[king]

Heishi stood up after praying so long for forgiveness from his heavenly father. Heishi noticed that he was crying which he hasn't done over 100 years. The human laws were already applying to him and it didn't take him long to notice this. As Heishi began to walk out he stopped and looked around and it seemed that this place wasn't used for years and Heishi then decided that he will stay here for the time being.

Heishi continued to walk out side not until he bumped into what seemed to be a mere child. The child seemed innocent from what Heishi saw, which disgusted Heishi from the inside of his now human body. Heishi looked at the kid and seen that he had Heishi's dagger. "Excuse me but can I have me dagger back.....it seems I misplaced it?'. Heishi asked the kid with a smile on his face but he wondered if he spotted out his cross sword and the blood stains which it held.

[Tony Redgrave]

"Hm?" The dagger in which he held ever so dainty within his hands belonged to this guy? Seeing as this dude was wearing armor and adorned with various "holy" symbols, seemed like that claim stood the little test. "Kay then, you can have your silly little weapon back dude." which he extended out to him with a slight little grin. "Oh and by the way, is that giant sword thing yours too? The one with all that green stuff on it?" he motioned over towards it with his free hand in a rather relaxed manner. "I'm just curious as to how you can lift that and why there is gross stuff all dried up on it. Its like you slew some slime monster and didn't clean it up. Its bad for the metal ya know?"

[king]

Heishi took the dagger back from the black haired kid and wondered why he was here in the first place. "Thank you" Heishi was trying to waist little time and go to his sword before the kid noticed it but it seemed too late. The kid already noticed it and seen all the demons blood over the blade. " That green slime is nothing more then.....puke!" Heishi was already starting off a bad way to get into heaven by lying. Heishi didn't want to lie but he didn't want a mere child such as the one before him to know that there was something called hell and demons really due exist.

"What do you know about blades and what might be bad for it" the thought that the kid was actually correct grew Heishi's attention on how much he really knew about weaponry. Heishi then put his hand on top of the kid and said a soft pray for him as he then began to walk about forgetting that he asked him a question and just thinking about getting back to his blade. As Heishi finished his prayer he then put his dagger back in his pocket and then walked by the kid and out back to the graveyard. Heishi was worried about the kid and knew that he wasn't no demon because if he was he would have burned just by touching his dagger but he also knew something about blades and Heishi 200 year old blade as well. Though it wasn't much this still interested him about the kid and thought that he should committed some type of good deed. "Do you want to see me preform magic"? Heishi turned around and hen spoke those words with a cheerful smile on his face.

[Tony Redgrave]

"Magic..?" he said rather quizzically. That was odd. Wasn't magical acts and such the devils work in Christianity? You would think a guy who just said put his hand on top of his head and said a prayer wouldn't say that.. why was he treating him like a little child? He was only sixteen and this guy didn't appear that much older then him. What a loony guy but.. whatever. He was curious to see just what type of "magic" he was going to display anyway and he figured that he should play the part anyway, just for kicks.

So, he clasped his hands together and batted his eyelashes ever so innocently at him, as if he were some poor, yet cute charming little waif on the street... though he was older then that. "Gee that would sure be swell!" he even stepped back a bit and joyously hopped up and down "Oh Oh! You gonna pull a rabbit out of your hat??" giving his voice a bit of a innocent little twist. One could call this ordeal a mockery but, he simply called it good fun!

[king]

Heishi seen the kid was in joy of what Heishi described his powers as magic. He couldn't tell him what it really was so he put it in a from that humans know what isn't abiding by the laws of nature is what humans called magic. Heishi wondered if the kid was to happy because he seemed as if he never heard of magic. Heishi couldn't remember when he way this young it had been about almost 150 seen he was a kid or even alive for the matter.

"OK look real close" Heishi then made his left hand light up and consume the dark that was around it. "See magic...or a trick" Heishi chuckled and wondered if the kid would jump in the air and scream with joy. Heishi looked as his left hand shinned and seen that it was flesh attached to his body then simply closed his hand, distinguishing the heavenly light that came from it and closed his eyes with despair.

"I got to go now but my name is Heishi Tenshi" Heishi then extend his hand out to the kid and asked" What is your name if I might ask?". Heishi had a smile on his face and thought of his youth but no thoughts came to him was he really this old and had to die all over again as a sarfice for somebody else. Heishi looked at the kid and wondered if he could maybe or possibility be Heishi's host?. Heishi then removed those thoughts from his head, he wasn't going to be watching over some kid even if he did know about blades, unless other wise.

[Tony Redgrave]

Well, at least with that gallant display of blinding light, it was apparent that he was the one who was emitting that light from earlier. The mystery was solved and the game had come to an end.. at least in that respect. Though magic in general rarely impressed him, Nouri decided to play the kiddy card for just a wee bit longer as, it was kinda fun.

He leaped up in the air and clapped with muse, most youthful.

"Woah, that was a cool trick! his eyes were shining exuberantly with fraudulent light but with a tender and silly little smile to boot. He held that expression as long as he possibly could. In fact, he did so up until the point that the man known as Heishi Tenshi extended his hand out to him and expected a handshake.

And that's what brought that charade to an end.

His silly smile recessed a tad until it became more of a grin and his eyes seemed to dim down to what you could call a normal state of eye shine. "Alright Pod'nah.." he flapped his hands out at a rapid pace and took a few steps just outside of the "handshake range." For starters, I'm ain't no kid. I'm a bright and dashing little thief who is sixteen years of age and pretty gosh darn cool to boot! I'm even The King Of Bandits! This guy even had the nerve to ask for his name after a stunt like that!

However, rant all he wanted, this guy and his odd behavior showed he was two sandwiches short of a picnic basket. There was no fun in kicking around the mentally impaired anyway and telling them things that they wouldn't understand quite well. And yet, being treated like a little tike was making him a little huffy and puffy under the collar. That was just enough to make him more overbearing. So with a little chuckle, he continued his little talk with the lightbringer. "Well, I'll guess I'll cut you a break since obviously, Mommy shook you as a baby one too many times. and he held his hand out and took hold of that outstretched hand of his. The name is Nouri.

[king]

Heishi seen that the kid or teenager was something else indeed. He was what one would call back in Heishi's days as a brat. " Well excuse me King of Bandits....well if your a king then you must be quite powerful...Huh?" Heishi said this well he let Nouri's hand go. Heishi seen this kid as a younger him but without the title of a king of anything but getting into trouble. Heishi wondered if he was a strong king or a king that used the power of his pawns to do the dirty work for him and while he stood behind like a coward.

The title of a king isn't a easy title that can be just given to anyone. Heishi looked at the boy and he didn't look like a king more like a pawn that kings used for there entertainment something such as a joker. Heishi crossed his arms and began to smirk at Nouri as if a person like him could ever hold the title of a king and if he was a king he must be as strong as his title with held.

[Tony Redgrave]

Powerful? Him? He really had to scratch his head and think on that thought. His statement didn't necessarily mean he was the strongest or something like that. It just meant he was pretty darn good at taking things, a real pro one might say! But, as for an actual fight.. he didn't quite know the answer to that question. He knew a bit but never really tested it out to a larger extent. "Er, I do alright I guess but.. what does that have to do with anything?" Nouri asked him

[king]

Heishi wondered what does this have to do with anything. Did Heishi really want to serve under this boy and if he couldn't beat him then would it be a sin to fight him or kill him if needed to be. No this couldn't be Heishi hadn't been thinking straight and if he was really about to challenge this kid for a chance to gain a host and try to gain his way back in heaven as quick as possible but was it worth it to really serve under someone that thought as himself to be alright and not strong with the title as a king.

Heishi thought that he should still try it out he had to look for a host somewhere and to start now wouldn't kill him well not again. " The point to why I ask you If you were strong is because I need to fulfill this deed to gain my way back into heaven and with this I challenge you to a duel.....I will tell you more when and if you beat me". Heishi then walked over to his cross sword and grabbed it by the hilt and uprooted it with his left hand. The weight of the sword still didn't change even though he was a mortal now and the blade seemed the same as usual. " Do you accept this challenge?" Heishi's stared down Nouri and waited for his response for if you defeated him Heishi would have to serve under him until his death.
