1st of First Seed (March), 4E 200
Winds can be felt best at the turns of dusk and dawn They can be gentler or war on the preferences of those ish to train in the Adeptorium
As the Core and Inner Adeptoriums were to train the disciples of the temple, the Outer Adeptorium was to train whoever wished to test their eneral arts of the temple
The disciples were usually called the Adepts, the Outer Adepts were to train in the outer yards to learn how to draw on the Sand, harmonize with the Wind, foresee the Rain, read the Storm, sense the Sun and dance with the Two Moons
Such idealism was usually associated with the sophisticated martial traditions of the Desert Wind Adeptorium, one of the four famed Martial Arts schools in Elsweyr
The Outer Adept Jonya was one of the new additions to the Desert Wind Adeptoriue Khajiit like always drew a lot of attention with each fight he participated in Now, he cli the second rank and is about to challenge the first rank, Adept Tamara
”Adepts, salute one another” An Elder Adept cohting circle
The two exchanged salutations and were perht
Jonya is a red-furred Cathay-Raht Khajiit, Taolden fur
”You are finally afterit up for ht!”
The two got the signal and moved at one another Tamara took the chance and delivered her best attack at Jonya but the latter was very resilient and took her claws head-on while kicking her hip and forcing her to retreat
A juggernaut like Jonya is very hard to push back even for the best Outer Adept, Taured out that to beat his heavy style is by attacking repeatedly and rapidly
”Hya!”
She charged at him head on the lowered herself and double kicked at his fist knee while supposing herself on one arher horse kick, a lower side kick and finished the combo with a roundhouse
As her final hit was about to land, Jonyahis elbow into her abdo struck by a battering ram as she was tossed to the back Still, she landed on her hands and feet while glaring at Jonya
She was putting on an act to show hostility but she was actually in pain trying to take a few seconds to recover
Jonya didn't go after her and waited until she felt like going She charged as she iy, the Aura, into her claws and waved them from a fewan exoskeleton around hi hiht ca each other
”You mastered the Iron Will technique?” She asked
”And youClaws, impressive” He replied
”So it wasn't a lie when you took the tenth, ninth, eighth all the way to the second rankers by your own in one fight”
”Well, they caether afternot worthy for advancing to fast”
”Truth be told We all thought you were relying on your Brute Force to climb the ranks You rarely show a skill, Jonya”
”Oh please, if we don't co fancywill be lost in translation”
”Well said” Ta, a lot of us can't stand you, Jonya You barely show understanding to the Dance of the Claws, you only joined the Adeptoriu like a creep about other people's fur”
There were indeed a lot of complaints about Adept Jonya He joined the Adeptoriu of the Khajiiti Martial Arts yet he relied on his raw talent to cli since childhood He was not great in the Dance of the Clahich is the main Martial Technique in the temple, he also trains his own Aura rather than the Desert Wind Aura of the Adeptoriu is…
”Co others fur is a way to spread peace and love in the world Fluff is Justice” Jonya spoke with absolute passion
All the other Khajiit around hiain”
” He speaks the truth but… he feels like a pervert”
”Don't get fooled by hi is blasphemy”
”Shush!+ Don't let him hear you Haven't you heard about the last Khajiit who said that to him?”
”No”
”I did They say Jonya followed hi about the Holy Fluff soht, Jonya and Taain in combat Whilehis fists, elbows, knees, and kicks ot scratched by Ta her back
His style was avoiding brute force as ave hi, he relied on the choices of ment
If Tamara used her claws, he would counter with his fists; if she used her fists, he would counter with his palms; if she used her palms, he would use his claws It was basically a rock paper and scissors game
Still, as o with the perfect counter
As the fight continued, Tamara's style was completely revealed and Jonya decided to end it
She attacked with her claws from his blindspot but he quickly stepped behind her while attacking her with an elbow She turned to face him with a wide attack and heher atte a pinch the rear of her ribs She tried the previous atte her then delivered a knee to the kidney She fell forward but kicked at hi only for hi for one round
”You lost”
”GRRR!” Taled to push back but to no avail
”Hisssss!” Jonya hissed at her in a threateningher
It took a few seconds for Taht” The Elder Adept announced thecircle were dissatisfied with the result but nothing th, speed and moves are all on a different level
”Follow me, Adept Jonya” The Elder Adept said
”Yes”
The Elder walked past the garden area with Jonya following and entered one of the caverns in thethe Adeptoriu today I am sure Tamara and the others will learn a valuable lesson froht”
”It is the least I can do, Elder” Jonya touched his face and changed his appearance from a Khajiit to Nord
