training

Raven felt he has been lacking in his sense of awareness and wanted to hone them as he has noticed in fights he has become dull in what's going around him as of late. He reached for his headphones he had placed on the table earlier that day and slipped them off flicking the button up it would begin to start playing music loud enough too keep any outside source of noise out as the speakers were muffled type which helped. He slowly got up and smirked at Meer as he walked past him and headed to the middle of the main hall of the clan and stood in the very middle; inhaling and exhaling deeply he calmed himself more than he could not just dropping his heart rate he usually did this was just his breathing dropping it to where he only took one short breath and held it for 10 mins each before letting it go as he did this for several mins he had his eyes closed and his body was deeply relaxed. Raven spoke out over the headphones causing his voice to almost boom across the clan entrance that basically waited over a thousand soldiers that he had went and got from a nearby empire he once knew wanted his head back then when he was hiding. As the soldiers responded to his booming voice that filled the main hall ignoring Meer as they were all there for Raven as requested he wanted too see how he faired against an army of this size all on his own and gain any new strength from it.


Raven stood there unmoving as he kepted relaxing his body while he had his music blasting and taking his hearing from this fight as he had too hone is self awareness and allow his body to move on its own without using his eyes and ears. He lifted his right hand along his bridge of his nose pulling the specs off his nose folding them before he slipped them in to the satchel on his left thigh to keep from being broken or damaged not that it matter he had more to spare. He did on the other hand have a toothpick he usually been chewing on between his lips as it sat still between his lips, he breathed in once more as the soldiers now fully and finally piled in and every which way possible the main hall filled up the stairs leading to both the what would be council meeting and the one to the library. These soldiers were not the run of the mill types each one was hand picked with a unique ability and weapon. All had there own weapon from bows to daggers spears to swords axe's to war hammer's and some with just using fists alone. each one looking at Raven not moving unrested but as if they were waiting for him to make a move as they all knew what he was and could do. Raven inhaled and then let out a bellowing of smoke from his lips as a deep rumble emitted from his mouth as it vibrated the very air; he then smirked it was then all soldiers came at him then.




Raven who had not moved his eyes still closed and his headphones turned up high blast and it could almost be heard over the roaring crowd of soldiers who were given the deal if one could take his head and bring it back; that solider alone will be pain high amounts and set for life which was the deal Raven made too the empire not far from him as it was the three villages he had slaughtered a child while wandering from his clan he had killed and was covered in blood which would raise concern and cautious. Raven wanted to make mends but he was curious who be closer to get that bounty on him that was still in place all this time and never once claimed. Raven was indeed bored and of course he uses this as a way to train as it has been some time since he fought this many; the first five soldiers that came at him was in all directions surrounding him with spears pointed at him as he stayed unmoved but could feel through his skin what they were and how razor sharp they have been made. He quickly grabbed two of the spears that was pointed at his shoulder on either side where had grabbed with his right hand and his left hand only grabbing the wooden staff area where he avoided the blade itself and leaped up where he landed on the one solider with a spear that was pointed at his back but where Raven had his ankles locked on either side of the mans head as he could tell he was an elf; as Raven held the elves' head he still had both of the two spears in his hand where the two men who were human were yanking or trying to break from his tighten grip where he shoved them back in that mean time he snapped the elves' neck with his ankles applying the right pressure with his muscles as the elf's body sloped down Raven used that as a way too slide to the ground where he let his body lean to the left as the spear from that was pointed at his face was now making it's way towards his face Raven let the blade graze his bridge nose leaving a fine cut on it as blood tickled down he on top of the soldier now who had cut his nose where he grabbed the mans neck clutching his throat and squeezing his thorax while crushing his wind pipe he tossed the mans body to the side. As the two spearmen who had been pushed back stood there unfazed by his fighting skills only remained guarded but slowly nodded at each other as they aimed there spear to Raven's spinal cord in hopes too sever his spine; that moment Raven ducked down almost dropping flat on his back like he meant too hit his back on to the hard cobble flooring a she grabbed at the two's ankle and ripping out there tendons causing them too drop to the ground where Raven pointed both palms at there face point blank as sparks ignited and shot out black flames that incinerated there face clean off leaving a charred bone underneath. Raven slowly stood up and stood still once more as he took the time to calm his breathing.



 Now as Raven had been relaxing once more he had been calming his breath Between each tide he goes against soon he knows he wont get that chance as the fight drags the harder it gets as the worst of them is still to come; which Raven was merely only pacing himself making sure he didn't over exert himself. The next set of soldiers were the 10 man group of hand to hand fighter well known for there well use of power and speed in there punches that was said to have no equal as all who fought them even one on one lost. Raven at this point decided to slowly open his eye lids as his silvery hue's began to shimmer as they were reveal to the lighting of the room as it was bright but not that of a brightness. Raven swerved his eyes over at the ten and wonder how this will go would it be a ten on one or will it drag out to a one on one each time.
