Training the Pheniox[Reina]

[sbs]

Frosty sat on the public buss listening to his Ipod Next to his seat was a denim book bag with his Gi and black belt in it as well as a few other things. He pulled the string and the bus came to a stop at a buss stop infront of a large building. Reina gave him a text saying to meet her at Kang's dojang and that they'd start his training. As the buss doors opened with a his Frosty stepped out, He looked at the building that with neon lights Reads:

[glow=red,2,300]Kimuya Kang's Tae Kwon Do.[/glow]

Frosty opened the door and walked in. The lights were on and the place was empty. Either he had arrived early or there was going to be a surprise attack. Frosty shrugged turning off his Ipod and walking into the changing rooms. He slipped off his boots and changed into his uniform. He walked out with Black Gi pants with Kuze-Kun Hworang imbrotered in red and writen in english on his left leg while the right side of his leg read Pheniox and was writen in Korean Kangi. His hands and feet were tapped up with black tap. He slipped on his Gi tops which was a red, fold over top with a black trim. On the back of it was a patch of a black phenoix. He tied his belt on his waist and was read as he tied his hair back into a pony tail.

He looked like he used two when He went to the Dojang battles of his Dojang. He bowed before stepping on the matt and his Saphire eyes surveyed the area. Empty... Or so he thought. He did a few push up and stretches to warm up a little more. Then he stood there silently as he closed his eyes and began to meditate standing up. A technique that his Grand Master had taught him which allowed him to see everything even with his eyes closed. With his vampiric abilities it helped the technique emensely as he waited for the so called, 'surprised attack'

[†The Blood Countess†]

Little did Frosty know was that right when he sat down and started meditating...someone was watching from the shadows of the dojang. Movements were quiet, fluid, graceful...everything stereotypical of the undead. Black locks fell, concealing the being's identity for now. The attire this unknown person wore was all black, making it hard to find to spot...until it leapt down from the roof.

Slowly, this stranger drew close to the unsuspecting Frosty, brown eyes smiling. Both hands raised up slightly as if though plotting to push him over...in a sense that's what she had in mind...

"FROSTY!"

The next thing the male would see is a bunch of black hair in his face followed by his sense of balance being thrown off. Who'd a thought Reina was capable of escaping detection so easily? Eh. It wasn't expected really...

The vampiress pulled back and smiled down at him, "Did I scare ya? Huh?" Reina laughed, "Sorry, Frosters, couldn't help it. It was just too much to pass up."

Frosty was taken back as he was pushed to the floor. Though he smiled as he saw Renia smiling over him, "Hey babe. I missed you today." he said smiling as he kissed her cheek. "I don't get scared just startled a little." He said blushing a bit as his saphire eyes looking into her soft brown eyes. He was laying there looking up at her for a moment before standing up himself. "I got your text. I was almost expecting a surprise attack that Kang did to you the first time I came here with you." He said looking around.

It may have seemed like Frosty was distracted but he was taught back when he was a brown belt how to talk and listen around him at the same time. So far there wasn't anything, no sign of Kang or any tricks. But that didn't mean Frosty should just drop his guard. "So... Where's Master Kang?" he asked looking around and playing dumb. He was waiting for the Gand Master to pop out of no where and attack or something.

The place was quite and aside from Reina, and thats when he felt it. A feeling of a higher strength creeping up on him from above. he glanced up seeing only darkness blanketing the beams of the roof. With a blink of his eyes the darkness was lit up in his sight as he saw Master Kang with a Jang Bong(bo Staff) ready to pounce. He wait until the ancient jumped and then he's react.

[†The Blood Countess†]

Reina's cheeks tinted slightly after he kissed her cheek but the color faded, "Missed you too, love. Glad to see you are doing well." With her now back on her feet, she pulled her hair back into a low angled pony tail and rolled her shoulders, snapping her neck. "Nah. I wasn't going to surprise attack you the way my master did. You liked how I did it though..."

She grinned and pinched her boyfriend's arm playfully. "Hm? I don't know, actually. Problem is, his scent is everywhere in the dojang so finding him via smell won't work. I suppose we can try to look for him but he's always been good at hiding."

Then, speaking of which, there he was, staring down at them, staff in hand. "It took me hundreds of years to master the element of surprise. Perhaps one day, if you two live long enough, you will too...but that's for a later lesson." The ancient leapt down but rather than attacking, he held onto the staff and stared at his pupils.

"The first thing we should do is warm up. I'll let you two do your own stretches and such for the next thirty minutes...then the real work will begin."

[sbs]

Frosty turned towards the Grand Master and Bowed. He nodded and replied with a yes sir. It was odd how he felt when he had already warmed up but it was alright, anything to get the blood flowing in his veins. He bowed to both Reina and Kang as he walked off to another end of the mat and dropped down doing a repetition of fifteen push ups then spread his legs as wide as he could then sitting down into a full stradle split. He leaned to the left grabbing his foot and stretching then came up and took a small breath then leaned towards the left. He then rose agian then leaned towards the center placing his chest on the matt as he laid down still in the split.

Frosty then sat up slowly dragging in his legs straight infront of him and leaning forward keeping his legs straight and laying his chest on his legs. After a few moments he stood up messaging his legs as he lightly pounded his fists agianst his thigs and cafs. He then did some arm stretches and and then started preforming stretch kicks switching into reps of different kicks. He then dropped into horse stance preforming different hand strikes and blocks.

Frosty stood up straight and walked infront of a wall. He placed his leg straight and fully extended agianst the wall as he leaned inward stretching some more. Doing the same with the other leg, he soon dropped down doing a rep of thirty push ups on his fingers, knuckles and then on his hands. He stood up afterward slowly inhaling and catching what breath he didn't need for being a vampire.

[†The Blood Countess†]

Reina got down and started stretching. Frosty may have already done that but she never had a chance to, hence why he told them to stretch. Thirty minutes slowly ticked by and the sound of a staff striking the mat told them both it was time to start today's lesson. "Today I am going to do two separate lessons. Frosty? Today I will teach you how to control your strength and speed. Reina? You're going to need some work on the staff form I taught you-"

The sound of a bell going off at the front paused Kang's speech. Now who could be interrupting them at this time? A teenager, possibly an adult in age, appeared in the dojang door. Only one word could describe his clothing of choice: rocker. That could mean only one thing...

"Oh! Hey Rey bay. I've been looking for you. How come you haven't picked up your cell?"

Reina's fingers curled into fists, eyes narrowed, "Because I blocked you. You honestly think I'd talk to you after cheating on me? And stop calling me 'Ray Bay' I'm not yours anymore." She hissed. Uh oh. Looks like this was the famous "rocker ex" that she told Frosty about. "And we're having class right now. Fuck off."

"Reina? Calm yourself down." Kang warned but Reina would hear nothing of it. This caused her instructor to sigh. One thing she had trouble with was controlling her temper.

[sbs]

Frosty turned towards the Grand Master as the slap of the mat meant the time to learn. He stood in attention listening to the grand master's words when they were suddenly interupted. A rocker 'punk' dude was standing there and obviously pissing her off. After he heard what Reina had said he knew this was that Rocker boyfriend he had heard about. He could tell Reina was pissed. He just hoped that she didn't tear him to shreads. Yeah an asskicking may have been what he deserved but then agian he might be human and he might also not be a very pain tolerant person.

He walked up to Kang and pointed at the guy. "Is that, her ex?" he asked quitely as he watched the scene play out. He was hoping there wouldn't be a conflict, or if there was going to be then there wouldn't be any bloodshed. It was then he notice the creep smile and Frosty saw silver like fangs. "Uhm... Rei, did he always have those...?" He asked pointing out the fangs in his mouth.

[†The Blood Countess†]

Kang looked down at Frosty, "Unfortunately? Yes. They were together for three years and he felt that it would be alright to sleep with another girl for a few months. Reina ended the relationship right when she found out...seems that girl broke up with him. This could get interesting."

"He's a vampire too, Frosty. He just likes getting those silver caps because it's supposedly cool. Makes you look like a dork. And before you say anything? I'm with someone else right now, prick. Fuck off before I fuck you up."

The male folded his arms, "Ray? Come on. I told you I was sorry and I meant it...wait...with someone else? Who?"

She pointed at Frosty, "At least HE won't cheat on me like you did. If a tree was wearing a skirt and had make up on? You'd probably fuck it."

"Feh. Bitchy as always I see." Her ex was suddenly behind her, one hand resting on her shoulder, "That's what I always liked about you. Bitchy and feisty..."

”Good cop, bad cop act,eh? You always were a manipulator, Joel-And hey! Don't put your hand there!" Did he just grab her...uh oh. ”You...son…of a…BITCH!”

”Great...you might have to help me clean up after this is over, Frosty. Once she starts she will not stop. This won’t take long hopefully.” Kang lamented.

And, right on cue, back Joel went towards one of the mirrors, shattering the glass once he came into contact with it. ”Let me give you a lesson, little boy. Pay attention.” Reina’s once brown eyes took on a molten silver color, ”First off. Grabbing an already pissed girls’ ass will only invoke her wrath.” She started cracking her knuckles while approaching. ”And I will NOT accept your pathetic excuses any longer. I’ve held back, Joel, but this time I’m letting you know just how much I hate you. I’ll be nice though...come on. Try to hit me. I DARE you.”

Joel stood up, clearly in pain, and blindly threw a punch at Reina. The female grabbed his arm, twisted it, spun while still holding onto it, swept his legs out from under him and he landed onto the mat, ”PATHETIC! YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN PATHETIC! YOU FIGHT LIKE A COWARD!” She smirked, ”Then again...you’ve always been a coward. I, for one, have a class right now so...”

She grabbed the male by the ear and started dragging him out, ”...out you go. And if you come near me again? I’ll tear off your balls and stuff them down your throat!”

The door was slammed shut, locked and Reina walked back in, ”Sorry about that. Where were we?”

[sbs]

Frosty was shocked at how she disposed at her ex. He shock his head as Reina returned. "Remind me to never piss you off." he said with a nervous laugh as he turned towards Kang. "But sir, I've been trying to control my strength for the longest, the other night while I was training I simply tapped a thick log and it blew into splinters. What am I doing wrong?" He asked in consern. Frosty was a patcient person however he was becoming agrivated at how little control he had over his new abilities. Yes he may be a special breed of vampire and control would come longer than expected for most vampires however it had only taken him three weeks to learn how to control his strength speed and technique for martial arts.

So why was it taking him so long to be able to learn control over his powers. He had been drinking enough blood and making sure not to over exert himself durring training so what was going on? Was it becuase he wanted domance over his powers so badly that control was eluding his grasp? It had to be, maybe if he just relaxed and took it one step at a time he would be able to get his powers and everything down to tee hopefully...

[†The Blood Countess†]

Reina forced a smile upon returning though it's clear she had a lot of pent up anger. Her eye color normally would have returned to brown but the molten silver was still there, glowing brightly. She shook her head sharply, placing one hand over her right eye, taking in deep breaths.

"Reina...?"

"It's...getting harder to control, sir. I'm trying but nothing seems to work."

Kang tapped his staff, "We'll discuss this afterwards. Frosty? The reason why you are having trouble controlling your strength is because, for a vampire, you are much, much stronger than most. A simple poke can puncture human flesh if you aren't careful. However...there is a way to hold it in. Imagine a vast amount of energy slowly being sucked into a cage somewhere in your body. Drain it out from your limbs and into that mental cage and shut it tightly. That might work."

Reina nodded, "Sounds logical enough to me. Give it a shot, Frost." She smiled at him.

[sbs]

Frosty nodded closing his eyes and imaging a black orb if you would, inside of his mind. He stood there for moments drawing ever ounce of energy he had into that orb. God how it was alot, the orb suddenly glowing a bright green as more and more flowed into it. It was starting to become unstable but Frosty fought to control it. As the energy became too much for the orb he widened it allowing the orb to adapt and grow bigger until finally all of his 'unnatural' energy was formed into a large glowing Sphere. He could feel the power surging inside of it and it startled him at how powerful he was. Every part of the sphere broken down into layers of power. Almost 300 layers consisted of the Sphere as he enveloped it within a mental cage.

he could feel the control finally coming to him, Finally! After three weeks of being a vampire he could finally have some control. He opened his eyes and took a slow breath. It was time to test it... He walked over towards a punching bag and breathed in slowly and exhaled just a slowly. With a kihap he jumped up and spun launching a hard jumping spinning kick that nailed the bag and sent it swinging as Frosty touch the ground gracefully he had a smile on his face, finally he had control. The bag was only swinging hard and wasn't knocked off of the chain like what had been happening recently. He was proud of himself, very proud on himself.

[†The Blood Countess†]

Reina watched with eager anticipation, hoping that her instructor's advice somehow helps him. He was calm, trying his best to suck in his energy into this so called mental cage. Now he was off to put it to the test. The female bit down onto her lower lip and waited..."It worked! Ahaha! You did it! Way to go, Frost!" She grinned.

"Reina? It's time I taught you something like that. I know that separate personality of yours is handy at times...but what if you severely injure someone? Next time you start getting irritated, imagine that personality being chained down, unable to gain control. If you allow it control too often...it will control you, Reina."

Reina nodded, "Yes, sir. I'll do that next time."

"Excellent. Well, congratulations, Frosty. Over time, you'll be able to control your strength and use what is needed. In all honesty, the more you hold back, the more you will have should you need it...though I do advise strengthening yourself further...Have you come up with your answer? Will you come with me to the Monastery in China?"

[sbs]

Frosty nodded as Kang asked the question. "Yes sir..." he said as he looked at Reina then back to Kang. "Sir... if I may ask... will Rei be coming to?" He asked out of curiousity. He was so excieted that was finally able to control his ability of strength. He was one step closer to mastering his abilities. He had already learned to control his senses as well as his ability to see in the dark. Those were easy. It was just the speed, strength, and mind reading and blocking his mind off that he was having problems with.

Then agian it would come sooner or later. He was just so excieted that he finally gained control over his strength. No longer did he have to fear hurting anyone or crushing another pack of cigerettes or ripping open a bag or anything! He had his orignal strength back. His human strength, and his vampiric strength resivoured so when he needed it he could use it. This was amazing and over welming all at once. He was bubling up with antecipation on learning more.

[†The Blood Countess†]

Kang gave his pupil a smile and nodded, "Of course she'll be coming. You think I'd leave her behind? Besides...she needs the training too...there are many instructors at this Monastery who dedicated their lives to teach others. They will be excited to have new pupils there. To make things better? It's a safe place, chance of attack is zero since we're on a mountain in the middle of no where surrounded by forests."

Reina nudged him, "Except there's one small problem...you should tell him about it."

"Other than the fact that there's a vampiric clan warring with the Monastery, it's a fairly safe place. But chance of attack is slim. The last time they attacked was a decade ago when Amena and Elric Van' Diel trained there. The Blood Moon Dynasty is the clan who attacked and ended up killing them off...but that was eight years later."

Reina sighed, "What's depressing is...they had two children but they are in good hands. It's tragic how they died though. Amena gave up her life defending her son and Elric died defending his wife. At least their sacrifices weren't in vain."

Kang nodded in agreement, "I shall begin preparations at once. When can you leave, Frosty?"

[sbs]

"In about a week, I have to tell my manager I'm going to china to learn to control my abilities and tell my grandmother to watch my house and such. You know the basics." He said with a chuckle. This was so awesome! First he learned how to control his strength now they were going to an ancient monestary?! Freaking sweet! Maybe also by learning to control his abilities he could also learn some new martial art techniques. Though he knew the training would be grueling and hard he was ready for it and it made him all the more excited. All of this was coming at him so fast he could barely contain himself. That was until suddenly a strange man walked into the dojang.

The man had long black hair with white highlights. His eyes were a topaz yellow. He wore loose jeans, converse and a tank top. His hands were wrapped up. He looked at all three of them and then spotted Frosty. He walked onto the mat, not even bowing. "I've come for the methusila. Hand him over and you both will not die." He boldly stated.
