[center][h3]Oriel[/h3][/CENTER] One week came and went. Oriel had been training like crazy, even training during the time she didn't have to. She barely sleeped some nights, only to train. She was used to harsh training after all. Having lost her family since she was but a kid, and having to survive through a harsh winter climate, she was someone who trained even harsher than most people, solely by the fact that she had to do it alone. Being in a blizzard and being in a sandstorm was about the same thing, and it'd be better for her a hot environment, since she felt like dying in the cold weather. She had kept her hair long until now, but she decided to cut it off in order for it not to get into the way of her training. It also seemed as if Ajax was giving them a test today, so she was looking forward to testing the results of her training. She felt that she had found a new way to use her magic, more as a ranged attack than just a close quarters kind of magic. Of course, it wasn't as easy as some would think, even idiotic if someone thought about it, but it was worth a try at the very least. More of a trump card than anything else. Now, the only thing she had to do was finding a way she could defeat Ajax without having to use [i]that[/i]. She wasn't a fan of incinerating superiors like that. Aiden and her walked through the hallway, to see Ajax waiting for them. He explained their mission. Oriel let out an snicker as she heard it. [color=ed1c24]"Damn, you are crazy. Letting a dangerous criminal roam aroudn like that.... I guess I have no option but to go catch him. It was my line of work before the guild, after all, he is only stronger than the small fries. No biggie."[/color] Though she said so, it was her policy not to go easy even on small fries, and since that guy was, seemingly, so dangerous, Oriel would have something to kill time with. [color=ed1c24]"It will also be a good target practice for my new moves. It's been a while since I've gotten the opportunity to run wild without having to worry about destroying things."[/color] Oriel smiled arrogantly and took a head start on both guys, waving lazily at them. She approached the stairs and started making her way up to the desert. After a while, she was finally standing on the desert and stretching out some, to get ready for the fight, and also to wait for Aiden. [color=ed1c24]"Don't wanna leave him with nothing, after all."[/Color] Even if she was confident, though, she still kept her guard up. Always expect the unexpected, she had that concept drilled into her head the bad way.
