Hot and Heavy...
Those were the conditions in which a certain spiky haired fellow had to bear with while he made the long trek up a rather familiar mountain trail. He was here once in the somewhat distant past, a fledgling on the path of adventure and at that point, was wondering aimlessly about. By chance, he stumbled across a village made up only of hardened warriors who tried day in and day out to hone both body and mind. Now, the spiky haired one known as Nouri was coming back to seek training. "Its not too far away.. and you are keeping up with me right?" he called out behind him. He was so focused that he really had not checked to see if he was even there!

" I'm right here" Heishi spoke as he look forward at Nouri with a plain face. He never knew that this young kid would be able to be Heishi's chosen person to guard. Heishi still hadn't recovered all the strength to fully use his powers and with work and practice he would be able to use them at his fullest potential. Heishi wasn't familar with the new city's and places the earth has form because the last time he stepped foot on earth was about 100 years ago.
"Can you tell me were we are going?" He wondered and raised his eyebrows in confusing and continued to walk up the mountain slope while his cross sword began to scratch off the ground of the mountain. Heishi has been traveling with Nouri ever since there first meeting. Although Heishi didn't need to travel with Nouri since he had the power to summon him at will but he didn't mind traveling with him because he felt that since he was strong enough to beat him then Heishi should be strong enough to deal with the fact of traveling with a little kid.

"Oh yeah, I didn't tell you now did I?" Thinking back on this whole situation made him crack a few chuckles. He had been walking along with Heishi and yet, not once did he even tell him where they were going. All he had to say on the matter was "Its not too far", "Just over this hill!" and "Eyes forward or You'll trip!" Was their pact really one so strong that he would just follow without question? It seemed it was that way but, that wasn't necessarily a bad thing. In fact, he found it in some ways to be quite honorable. Heishi deserved to know a little bit about the place.
"Well my heavenly crony, We are setting forth to the village of Hadron for a bit of training. I figured since you're still not at full power and all and this village populated by hardcore warriors, you could stand to have the basics and more beaten back into you." The whimsical little bandit then motioned right over to that little noggin of his, wearing one of his more common and yet always so cheerful grins. "Myself included. If I'm going to keep adventuring and going after treasure, powerful enemies will be in my way. So... we will get stronger together and tackle both our goals at once."
Just over the clearing, both of them could finally see a large gate fashioned purely of wooden logs, firmly woven together. All around this was a giant wall like formation that seemed to stretch far off to the sides. But more importantly, near the gate were two large fellows armed with long spears. "See? Told ya it wasn't far!"

" I am not a mere child I know how to walk without falling" Heishi smirked with his sword still scratching off the ground as he walked with Nouri. Heishi then seen what looked like a village not so far away. Heishi did need training an the type of training that Nouri spoke off seemed just what he needed. Heishi's powers werent at there fullest so training would amplify them. " If were training then what will you be training in?" Heishi spoke with his left hand behind his head scratching as if he had a head bug in his hair. Heishi was glad that Nouri wanted to get stronger to but in what ways
Knowing that there were a village near meant food and Heishi hadn't eaten since 100 years ago. In heaven food isn't required only if one wishes it so in the human world were food was required it was a huge change on Heishi. The only thing that Heishi didn't know was what type of currency it took to buy food because in Heishi older years of living it took gold coins to purchase what they wanted. Heishi couldn't wait to get into the village but it seemed there were guards that guarded the village gate. Heishi looked at Nouri as a signal for him to take out the guards it only took a nod of Nouri's head an the guards would be taken out instantly so Heishi waited for Nouri's signal back.

"Is that so? I thought you would be too tired since all you angelic fellas do fly around all day! But oh well, I understand" As he and Heishi drew nearer to the gates, Nouri kept up the conversation, addressing Heishi's next question. "I dunno about my training yet though. Our first stop is to see the village elder and you will come with me. He will do something that may interest you." Past, the bushes, and up the path they went, until they were approaching the guards themselves. Muscular, brooding, and sporting matching scowls, they didn't seem like a very nice welcoming party. In fact, they crossed their spears over the entry point of the village and said the same old tired line just like his last time here.
"Halt! State your status and your reason for entering!"
Oh the nostalgia of it all! It was pleasing in someway but, he wasn't interested in the whole, giving statements and reasons to cronies deal at the moment. In an effort to deal with it as soon as possible, he simply nodded his head towards the guards. "Same deal as before you delightful muscle heads. Your guests would like to go through!"
And with that, he bolted towards the one on the left side of the gate, slamming his right knee into the poor fellows stomach. Sadly, a sudden attack was a bit much for him and he collapsed to the ground, clutching his stomach in agony. "See? Their just grunts! Take care of the other one for me. Just don't kill him kay?"

As soon as Nouri gave Heishi the okay to attack Heishi didn't hesitate an attack with a running sweeping kick taking the large man off his feet and while the muscle man was failing toward the ground Heishi came around with a slamming heel hook toward his gut, knocking him out. Heishi was already holding the hilt of the sword while it was planted on his back but since he Nouri told Heishi not to kill him he restrained his power but still held on his sword while he was in action.
"Humans have gotten weak since the last time I roamed the earth" Heishi face was without emotion just like it always was when he fought. Heishi thought about what elder would be able to help him and if he was a elder then what would Heishi be considered as since he was probably the oldest person in the village. Heishi wipped the dirt of his already rusty armor and then awaited Nouri's next move toward the village.

"Hm.." he glanced back over at their now downed opponents. Twas a shame it had to end so quickly but convenient as well. "To be fair, they usually give a statement of how they don't let weaklings in the village and such. Guess they were off guard this time." With a little sigh escaping from his lips, he bent down and pat his opponent on the head, just for a job well done. "Don't stay down there too long dear. Wouldn't want you to catch a cold." But, he quickly stood up and started moseyed on past the gate itself. "Oh and always be on guard you two!"
He left those words on the outside for now, he could lay eyes on Hadron itself. Still quite vast and with the same old familiar huts with the same old people. Men donning brown pants and red bandanas, lifting large stacks of lumber about to various places, men and women alike training all throughout the area in groups, doing katas and the like. More importantly, the giant hut in the middle was still there. The home of the elder himself. Nothing really has changed. "Well, C'mon Heishi. Lets go towards the big hut in the middle. Everything else is of no concern yet."

Heishi seen what the village had to offer and smirked when the gates opened all the way. He took another look at the big muscle man that was on the floor and still couldn't believe how weak humans have become. Heishi then seen all the people walking about doing as they pleased but the people that were sparing gave Heishi a urge to join in. " Is that the training that you were talking about after we visit this hut?" Heishi pointed toward the people sparring with a nod of his head and his arms folded.
Heishi still was following Nouri but all the things that were in this village seemed to be amazing. Heishi hasn't been in a well organized village in decades so something like this shocked him. He couldn't wait to face the strongest person here but if they were as weak as the guard that he went threw a while back then this wouldn't be as fun as he thought.

"Nah.. I still dunno what we will do but, we will shortly"Shortly indeed for it was just a little bit of a walk until they reached the Elder's living quarters but.. living quarters they didn't seem to be now that he got a look at it. It looked more akin to a dojo in someways but.. what did it matter? Nouri knocked first of course and waited until finally, someone answered the door. An older, frail looking fellow dressed in robes of red looked towards Nouri first and then over his shoulder towards Heishi himself.
"Well well, look who came back. Though, I was expecting you." Though hunched over and steadying himself on a cane, he was a pretty quick mover. He began walking back inside where he had two straw mats laid out just for guests such as them. "Come in, take off your shoes, and sit. We have much to talk about first." Shrugging, Nouri did just that. He kicked off his little boots to the side and sat down upon one of the mats he had laid out

The hut smelled funny and the old man looked funny but since he was old he was going to automatically look funny. Heishi took off his worn out army boots and placed them by Nouri's. He then sat down on the straw coushing that were already placed down in the hut.
" Excuse me can you tell me your name" Heishi felt he needed to know this elders name so that if any thing would to happen he would still know the man's name that had ruling over the village. If he had the title of a elder then he had some say so about what would happen in the village giving him some ruling of what happened in the village.

"Oh? Never told him my name I say. Then again, the young bandit never asked me." he spoke, walking steady towards the last open mat. He sat himself down and put his cane off to his left side. "Its Hadron and... its good to finally meet you Heishi." He smiled softly towards both he and Nouri though, the latter was busy brushing his hair off a little to the side.
"You're really lucky as well. Most fallen angels would encounter demons and have not only their wings completely torn off, but they would be flung into hell for eternity. However, you're powers are diminished greatly. Not surprising since you are of flesh and blood now. To gain them back, you must get used to your mortal body. Now that just brings us to Nouri."
"You know why I'm here and my situation too?" He asked him. Since the leader did have some uncanny precognitive powers, he had to know it right?
"Nope. I never been able to perceive you within my visions. I only know he was traveling to our village and not you. Yet, I had a hunch for some reason that you would appear soon enough. I guess your curious about those odd abilities of yours and your going to ask why I can't perceive you... right?"
"Actually, yeah. I was hoping you could read our auras and try to figure it all out. I need a way to control my abilities and Heishi needs to regain his strength. Could you help us out?"
Hadron was open enough to concept as it was. This wasn't exactly an ordinary case with normal people anyway. A Fallen Angel and a kid with curious abilities that lay dormant. Who knew if they would find their own path without any help?
"Alright. Heishi will be first since I know I would be able to discern him properly. Just stay still and close your eyes so I can try to read your aura alright? I'll let you know when you can move."

As Heishi tried to understand how this old gezzer knew about his situtation made him beleive that he could actually help him regain his powers. Heishi had knowledge of his powers already but could not understand why he could not without bringing a great deal of pain on his mortal body. Heishi had alot of spells and also powers that allowed him to summon creates that he killed when he was in war in hell. He just had to study up and remember the words he used to say to call out his own summons.
As the old gezzer came toward Heishi and placed his hands upon his forehead he peaked at Nouri and them closed his eye's. Heishi felt his arua being lifted into the old gezzer's hand but it was not like he was taken it but like he was reading it. Heishi felt at peace while this was a happening but reopened his eyes and looked at NOuri and wondered what powers does Nouri actually have and if he learned how to use them then how strong will he be. Heishi already knew Nouri was strong now but will unlocking his unuseable powers make him stronger an how much stronger?. Heishi though about this while the old gezzer kept reading Heishi's arua until Heishi reclosed his eyes and felt at peace once again.

It didn't take him that long to really feel out and read his aura. He had enough experience sensing him as it was. But what exactly would Hadron feel out from his aura? A lot of things could be felt from it. An Angel's aura did have a rather interesting feel after all. Burning hot and yet in someways lukewarm, bright and yet, one could feel it clearly. Beyond the feelings and threads of those, he could sense magical essence but, it was hidden away within the depths of core. Telltale signs of physical and mental limitation.
"Ah.. your magical ability is in there. But your body seems to be suppressing the bulk of it. It can be released but its going to take a while. I'll go look at the bandit and then I can give you both a clear answer."
So, he removed his hand and gave Nouri the very same orders he gave Heishi. Just what would Hadron find about his aura?

What a relief the whole aura thing was over well for Heishi at least. Nouri was now about to have his aura read but what the old geezer said about Heishi's powers that there locked away and need to be opened up, or something like that. Heishi knew what the man was talking about but could not describe it in his own words. "How would I get my powers back...with training or with some type of mental relaxation method or technique". Heishi felt that he should know that instant but he also knew that explain his ways of getting his powers back would take time away from Nouri's aura reading.
Heishi was just so hyped up about knowing that he could get his powers back and use them in his mortal body. The only thing that Heishi still could not understand was that how was this old geezer able to figure out his problem before Heishi could. Could this old man really be a wise elder or something else? Heishi still wanted to know about Nouri's situation but waited for the old man to respond to his question.

Now that Heishi knew what he needed to know, only Nouri was left. With him having made the same preparations as his counterpart, Hadron placed that wrinkled little hand upon his head and atoned his aura to Nouri's own. But as he expected, he found his aura to be quite strange, even by supernatural standards. He could see it but he couldn't understand it at all. Nothing about it seemed to make any sense. It twisted and coiled about his body in a matter where he couldn't predict just where it would flow next and his inner energies could not be discerned in anyway.
He could however, feel and see a collection of energy at the point both the crown of his head and at the base of it. Both of which seemed to outshine energy within other pathways. Energy at those points shouldn't be possible and yet, there it was. It was a clear sign of something interesting but, nothing would be gained from flat out telling him about. He would understand soon enough.
"I see.. I can't really perceive your aura but.. I can at least tell you what you should both do. If you really want to improve you two, stay in the village for half a years time. Accept it or not. If you do, I'll tell you just how you should improve."
Nouri casually tilted his head to the side, pondering just what he could gain from such a long stay. Curious as he always was, he didn't mind doing it but he had the feelings of his partner to consider as well. Just what did Heishi want to do?
"What do you think Heishi?" he asked
