  1. Reno looked around the arena. He couldn't find anyone, but he felt, like it would be the perfect time for him to practice his training. Now alone. The young Sanctum teen would meditate. Not to try and establish a connection with the stars, but to find the grasp needed onto Holy magic once more. After all, it was completely new to him, though he has felt its power used upon him as a weapon.
  2.  
  3. Utilizing it as his own felt unreal. He had only been using Time magic to boost his speed and offense. But now, he is developing in Holy magic. A magic in which, would be used for a good cause, nothing as selfish as power. Perhaps even, he will grow with this art, and become something more than just a hands on fighter. If all goes well, he may find himself becoming something akin to a Holy Scribe.
  4.  
  5. "I will need much time and practice. Yeah, most definitely." At this point, all Reno could do was get a small ember of Holy light onto his fist. It was the only trope he had right now. And knowing him, he would not evolve it much further. His goal, was to utilize the defense of the holy Magic, never to offense. "If I can protect myself against Demon magic... Maybe then I'll be able to face them off on equal grounds."
  6.  
  7. He thought about those demons who were once his friends. "Even then. I will protect everyone, not just the humans but everyone who holds their own will and mind. It was love. Maybe something he's been pushing aside for a while now. But it was passion that drove him, much like his desire to master the arts of time. He had the will to protect the common man, and through the Holy arts, he could possibly do just that.

  10.  
  11. [07:41] Reno Sanctum says, "Agh.."
  12. [07:41] Reno Sanctum says, "No ones around."
  13. [07:41] Reno Sanctum says, "Literally no one."
  14. [07:49] Reno figured, that all he could do, was meditate for now. After all. No one was around, so he had plenty of time to focus on the Holy arts. "Let's see. How does it go again? Right, focus on what makes him happy, what drives him to protect people. A righteous will instead of just a fighting Will alone.
  15.  
  16. It was the commoners. But what right does Reno have to say that he can or will protect them in the future? That was the conflict within his mind. If he was even capable of doing what others have been doing for years before he came along. There were hundreds of thousand that had no ability to utilize magic, and here he was. Capable but constantly limiting himself to only his fist.
  17.  
  18. For now. He would focus on his strength during this meditation session. Though, on the inside, he saw himself sitting in a room full of mirrors, reflections of himself. Trying to better himself for who he was, while on the outside. He appeared frustrated, unable to focus, and even angry looking with his eyes closed. But that was just his hardened nature after years of living and surviving in Theria.
  19.  
  20. He had much on his mind, speaking ho himself. "Is this the life that I'll lead? A path that there for you. Or will I take the road, that's been made out before me." He took a breath as his focus slowly increases through each passing moment. "Shall we cross paths, I will give you a definite answer."
  21. (Reno Sanctum)
  22. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  23.  
  24. [07:59] What was this feeling? Loneliness? Emptiness? Hatred? It was a series of events from his past. Inner demons to confront upon his pursuit of Holy magic. "Is this me?" He thought to himself as the anger lurks upon him like a chilling breeze. It has made its approach in times of distress, but was this really him? Were the actions of others something he should worry about? Truly, is this a subject that should hold weight upon his shoulders? Reno could not tell right now, for he was trying to escape it all.
  25.  
  26. Once he could escape it, then will be able to live above it. To cleanse all that has wronged him. Maybe, that was always how it was meant to be. Clear, a life that started out in the deep black shadows, only to be bleached by the light that welcomed him in warmth so quickly. "But, will I make a good holy knight?" Reno asked himself this same question, over and over again. No, it was not as simple as some would make it, he was not like his other friends. That was rough, even though his story had yet to end.
  27.  
  28. Reno really wished, that he could have so much clarity within his life, just like his other friends. So who was he now? A young man trying to grow through the arts of Time and that what is Holy. He never broke his vow though. Only learning such magics to complete his own cycle of humanity. The cycle that is Mind, for his use of Time and strategy... Body, through the unarmed arts... And Spirit, through the practice of the Holy Magics and its Religion combined with his own beliefs.
  29.  
  30. That's who he was, a Therian, defined by all the adventures he's perused thus far. "Let's start again, this time I just might win." Light flickered upon his fist like a broken light bulb. It was nothing he could even brag about, a little amount so small that it might as well be nothing but a chip of Holy magic. He was not however disappointed but rather, relieved that through these little steps. That Reno was gaining experience and with it, the talent to one day harness the power to its fullest.

  32. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  33.  
  34. [08:00] Reno Sanctum says, "Hm.. Not quite there but its something..."
  35. [08:08] Staring down at the little glimmer of light upon his fist. Reno stood up, trying to maintain his focus. Breathing steady, constantly pouring his mana bit by bit in the attempts to utilize the Holy arts. "Alright... If I can hold it long enough... Then I can practice a few simple strikes." The teen assumed the stance of the Iron Fist. He had to spread his feet apart. And through this, was he learning to channel this gift or blessing through his body.
  36.  
  37. "Alright, from the basics..." Reno would throw a simple jab into the air. Now, if his fist were still shining that bright holy light. He would proceed onto the next phase. From then on out, Reno would practice, throwing punch after punch. "Just years ago, I was hardly able to throw twenty punches... Now I can throw two or three hundred with ease... But still, the wind is not a sparring partner... Though it's all I got, till I can properly compete with a true magi," said Reno as he then threw a kick.
  38.  
  39. A jab here, and a strong weighted punch there. Moving light on his feet, being quick and nimble, his fist were learning to harness this power, to channel it. But, just like a tiny candle when a small breeze entered the room, the light fades away. Leaving only himself without the aid of Holy magic. "What? It's gone? Already? But that was barely even three seconds!" He had performed a few punches through his sheer speed but... The holy magic could not be maintained, thus the loss of his control. "This is crazy... How do true magi obtain cosmic and holy energy so easily? It feels almost impossible."

  41. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  42.  
  43. [08:08] Reno Sanctum says, "Feels like I'm getting no where with this."
  44. [08:09] Reno Sanctum says, "Maybe I should consider other methods."
  45. [08:10] Reno Sanctum says, "Though... There's not many methods at all... I should just take five, maybe go to the docks until a Holy knight or something arrives."
  46. [08:11] Though he was tired for now. Reno thought it would be best to just go for a relaxing stroll. Sure the arts of Holy magic were on his mind. But it would be useless if he were unable to focus. So, this little stroll was his way of telling himself, through mind body and spirit, that it was okay to take things slow. He however, would be stubborn towards his own words, and conduct an hour of research after reaching his destination. Studying the history of the Holy Arts, unable to find a tome of his own anywhere!
  47. (Reno Sanctum)
  48. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  49. Reno kept his focus within the books for now. He had to take a load off during family time. But then again. He was not one to slack off on his training. So, without as much as trying to spar, he got into a meditation stance.
  50.  
  51. From his toes, and eventually to a sitting position. Reno would begin to meditate. Trying to maintain that light of his as he spends time with the family of his. "Focus," he mumbled to himself. "Think...Less." The young lad had to empty his cup before filling it once again.
  52.  
  53. "Kraus, you are an angel right? Funny, I never seen one before, but I hope, that through this meditation. That you will bless me with the arts of the Holy. A talent, one which I looked down upon before, but now. I see it's light."
  54.  
  55. He continued to focus. His breathing steady, his mind clearing up and his hands entering a lazy prayer position. "But am I worthy?" He asked himself.
  56. (Reno Sanctum)
