"I doubt it, you either gotta have alot of money, or be noticed by one of the foundation members." He said as he turned his back to his brother and went to sleep.

"Sorry to hear that...." Ronoro said, a bit saddened for his brother. "Good night" he said absent mindedly as he rolled over and went to bed.

Raxion woke up earlier than usual and started to work on something special. He was done with it and had just put it in a box just before his brother could wake up.

"Yaawwwn..." Ronoro awoke with a start to find his brothers whereabouts. Once he found him, he immediately started talking. "Oooooooh! Watcha got in there?" Ronoro asked curiously.

"Well its actually something i made for you." Raxion said as he held out the box. In it was the sword he had just created and a light metal gauntlet.

Ronoro looked astonished, surprised and excited all at once. "You... making something... for me?" he asked surprised at his brothers unexpected kindness.

"Yea its so you can protect yourself." Raxion said, "Just dont go out killing anyone either." He added, "Killing is a terrible thing to do unless its the only option." Raxion said as he gave the box to his brother. "the gauntlet and the sword are connected through magic it will allow you to basically call your weapon back to you if its lost or stuck." He said.

"Wow, thanks a lot!" Ronoro said gratefully taking his new found treasures. "But there has to be more to why you made them then that? Is there?" He asked before leaving.

Raxion shrugged, "Not really." He said as he went back to his room. He decided he was gonna sleep in that day.

Ronoro laid his treasure on the dresser in their room. Not wanting to get into trouble in town, he stayed put in their room thinking.

Raxion woke up and lay in his bed staring at the ceiling.

Seeing his brother awake, Ronoro started a conversation. "So, what grand adventures are we going to do today?" He asked.

Raxion sighed, "what is it youd want to do today?" He asked while rolling out of bed.

Ronoro thinking for a second. "Are you sure you've shown me EVERYTHING this town has to offer?" Ronoro asked suspiciously.

"Im peretty sure except there is supposed to be a tournament today." Raxion said.

"Ooooh, thinking of joining it, Raxion?" He asked his brother with excitement.

Raxion sighed, "I dont know." He said as he got up and got dressed.

"Whaddya mean you don't know!? Are you doing anything else today besides being emo?" Ronoro asked jokingly.

Raxion shrugged and left the room looking for breakfast in the kitchen.

"Ughh... you're so odd...." Ronoro said exasperated. Going to the bathroom to brush his teeth first before heading down for breakfast.

"And why would you care if i went and competed?" He asked his brother.

"Because I would have the pleasure of seeing you get your ass kicked" he replied sarcastically. "Hell, maybe even someone from that school you wanted to go to might be there. Looking for talent." Ronoro said while brushing his teeth.

"Me get my ass kicked?" Raxion asked, "You really think id get beat?" he added.

He had his brother right where he wanted him. "Well, I haven't see you in much action. Maybe you aren't as strong as you claim.." Ronoro led off. "But hey, whatever. Not your problem." he said as he finished brushing his teeth and headed downstairs leaving Raxion behind.

Raxion shook his head, "That little bastard saying those things to try and make me do it." He said as he walked out the door carrying his sword.

Saying hello to his parents quickly before running out the door he silently and quickly followed Raxion. Excited to finally see some action.

Raxion signed up for the tournament and waited till his name was called into the arena.

A local samurai in training's name was called up along with another man named Raxion. Seeing it was only a boy, the samurai relaxed, taunting Raxion. "You think you have any chance of winning against me, boy?" The samurai mockingly remarked.

Raxion ignored his taunts and walked into the arena taking his fighting stance.

*Thinking* (This should be easy enough) He unsheathed his sword charged Raxion. Swiping horizontally, vertically, and ending with a thrust. At least one attack hitting.

Raxion deflected the first attack dodged the second as the thrust barely hit his thigh. He swung his sword out at the man but this was a fake attack as he twirled around and kicked the man in the jaw.

Staggering backwards, the samurai stepped back for a powerful tackle. Holding his sword forward, prepared to swing it around if Raxion tried to dodge it.

When the samurai tried to tackle him he flipped backwards landing another kick on the man, then he got into a defensive stance expecting the man to get frustrated.

Staggering once more the man was furious. "ENOUGH OF THIS CHILD'S PLAY!!" the samurai screamed. He chanted a phrase of inaudible words and out came a giant fireball from his hand.

Raxion sighed, "If thats what you wish," He said as he stabbed his sword into the ground, "Rise like the wind Skrinix!" He yelled as a gust of wind started spinning around the sword like a tornado and then blades of wind sliced at the samurai as it blew out the fireball.

The samurai, startled how quickly the tide of battle changed, stood there paralysed as the wind blade diced him up.

Raxion took his sword out of the ground as the arena medics took care of the samurai. He then walked passed his brother, "Still think im gonna lose?" Raxion asked as he went back to his tent.

Ronoro watching from the sidelines was mystified how his brother was able to pull of the win. "Not bad... not bad at all..." he replied.

He sat down in the tent and put his blade on his lap, "Good job skrinix." He said to his sword and the air around him swayed in response.

"And the next challenger... onoy known as the wandering swordsman!!" The man over the intercom announced.
