    The next day the monk took Satu to the depths of the temple. It was extremely dim and Satu could barely see in front of himself as he followed the sound of the monk's footsteps. The sound stopped and Satu realized he was in complete darkness. The monk instructed Satu to produce the seiðr halo to lighten up the room. Satu did as instructed and the light of the halo made the monk visible but much of the room was still outside Satu's field of vision.

    "Now produce an additional seiðr halo Satu.", the monk instructed. Satu heaved a sigh of concentration. The glow of an effervescent pink began to shimmer about his forehead. The light intensified upon the manifestation of a second halo. "Now move the halo to scan this room to find the exit." the monk requested.

    Satu motioned the pink Halo as it flurried around the room. The pink light revealed the outermost reaches of the room. On the wall were strange glyph and imagery. The furthest corner of the room revealed a corridor. The monk encouraged Satu to proceed. Satu recalled his halo proceeding with both levitating behind him toward the corridor.

    The elder awoke Satu in the early hours preluding the first light of dawn. "Today let us greet the light together." the monk had a smile holding a pot of macha tea. Satu determined as ever agreed and sipped his tea quickly before rushing to gather himself to venture out. The thought of the addition of another halo filled him with confidence as he tied his hair out of the way of his face.


    The two stepped out on one of the peeks before the world would awaken for the day. The monk instructed Satu to "breathe in the weaving ethos." Speaking softly he said,"There is magic apart from the science of chakra in these unique moments that we spend alone with the elements. The world is not always an unforgiving place, rather if you stop to notice" He looked at the horizon where light began flooding in a soft blue. "Their is a multitude of beauty at your disposal, if only you take the time to breathe it in." He continued,"That beauty is also within the human heart" he clenched his fist. "Making each of us an incandescent force as brilliant as the dawn you see before you."


    Satu also clenched his fist and spoke to the monk, "So what you mean is beauty like strength are conditions of our heart. It is our heart that illuminates the halo in all its desire to simply exist. The beauty of the dawn I see is seamless yet it is strong enough to lift night in preparation for the day." The monk interjected, "As twilight is gentle enough to lull the sun in preparation for night."  Three seiðr halo appeared behind Satu as he released his fist. The third and newest a soft blue like the first light of dawn.

The next day Satu was having a conversation with the denizen he first encountered at the temple. His name was Chulsoo and he worked as a carrier. Satu found himself wanting to impress him so he produced his halos and they flurried. Satu hummed a song and danced lightly in the coalescing streams of light. Chulsoo looked on at his new friends talent, he set down the stack of packages loaded on his back and began to clap along.


    Chulsoo's encouragement sent Satu's heart into a flutter. While his hips swayed he pondered about his training,"My Intention for the light within is me knowing this is so much fun to be around Chulsoo." His dancing intensified as well as the seiðr halo surrounding him and Chulsoo. Satu set his intentions to the joy he was feeling. letting himself be this expressive felt invigorating. He placed each halo at three points around himself and gave a smile at Chulsoo.
  He put his hand out to Chulsoo and Chulsoo obliged by smacking his hand firmly in his. Upon the clapping of the duo's appendages a fourth seiðr halo appeared.

    The two men glared wide eyed at this newly achieved halo of brilliant orange. Satu stepped back collecting the halo behind him, "I have to show the elder this!" Chulsoo nodded and began toward his currier bag. "Satu?" Chulsoo uttered. Satu turned abruptly and his backside knocked over the stack of packages and parcels Chulsoo was carrying. The two burst out into laughter and Satu helped his friend to pick up the mess he made. Then Satu ran with the new halo to meet with the elder monk.

 Appropriately after seeing the fourth seiðr halo the elder smiled at Satu. "Halos are not so difficult once you get out of your own thinking. As a matter of fact I believe you could even produce another." Satu had been holding the other seiðr halo for a while now and his heart was still fluttering from his mid-morning with Chulsoo. He felt confident in the elder's request.

    With the other four seiðr halo fluttering aloft behind him he centered his focus on his joy. All this immersion into his ancestors clan history and the making of a friend were things he had only dared to dream of in his time isolated living at the oasis. Every morning was so new he was so happy to be experiencing this renewal of life brought on by his time at the temple.

    
    Holding his hand to his chest he looked into the eyes of his teacher and thanked him. A fifth seiðr halo appeared in a deep purple. He began to tear up. Satu motioned the seiðr halo to the ranks of the others. He wiped his eyes clear and smiled, realizing he was no longer alone. He bowed in respect and also in gratitude to the elder monk.

 The next day the monk took Satu to a lake. Sprawled across the water were six rocks set up like steps. The monk instructed Satu to concentrate, "The emotion of joy is an excellent way to channel the chakra necessary to extend your seiðr halo training. Focus on the excitement of the chakra within." the monk explained. Satu closed his eyes and smiled. Five seiðr halo emerged aloft the waters surface yet he struggled with the sixth. The monk noticed his delay and blurt out saying, "I can tell you enjoy your time with that carrier boy." Satu's eyes opened wide and he burst out into an honest laughter. At the break of his laugh the sixth seiðr halo manifested itself at the point Satu intended. The monk chuckled and Satu gave him a retaliating grin.

    The sun was setting and the monk and Satu looked out over the desert from the mountain top. The previously learned seiðr halo were scattered far from them. Upon summoning the seventh the monk complimented Satu's progress, "You have learned very quickly over the last week Satu. The seiðr halo is a basic technique for the inhabitants of the temple. Usually it is mastered when we the Dhenada are very young. Still, your quick comprehension has proved noteworthy." Satu gave the seventh seiðr halo a red hue and sent it flurrying to edge of his peripheral vision. "Well done." said the monk.

    Seated on the mountain peek, Satu listened to the monk speak about his clan's past. The seven seiðr halo remained swirling as a testiment to his fortitude. He listened intently how the three sanctions of the Dhenada clan operated. His heart felt light as if a piece of himself was being restored through learning his history. In the deep of night, seeped in moonlight, he summoned an eighth seiðr halo. Like the moonlight making visible the night's serenity, it glowed silver. "How beautiful." Thought Satu.

    The dawn of day approached and the monk and Satu sat side-by-side. The eight seiðr halo glowed aloft in the desert awaiting the crashing of the day. Without a word or a motion Satu summoned the ninth seiðr halo. It shined in the face of Satu a most impressive golden radiance. "You have much to learn in the way of Dhenada clan jutsu but as for the seiðr halo this is as far deemed necessary in your training of this skill. Now repeat after me... I .. can... seiðr halo." Satu repeated the mantra," I can seiðr halo." then the monk vocally rallied,"seiðr halo". The two chanted in unison, "seiðr halo, seiðr halo, I can seiðr halo...".

Silent Portal
Rank: "D"
Skill: GenJutsu
Effect: This simple Jutsu negates the sound of opening and closing a single portal (door, window, gate, drawer, chest lid, and so on).
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---
Description: Affects only 1 target. The user is able to perform this technique at a distance of 7 meters plus 6 meters per class level. The duration of this technique lasts for 5 hours per class level. This technique may be negated. Even the squeakiest door opens without a sound when under the effect of this Jutsu. Silent Portal covers only normal means of opening and closing the targeted portal. Breaking a window or kicking a door in still makes noise, but opening a door that is falling off its hinges does not (since this is the normal way a door would open).
Limit: Must know the Glamour Perception.

     Inoryu was wearing a thin, dark grey hoodie and black cargo pants. Over his hoodie was his own crafted torso armor piece that covered his body in a protective layer of stealth enhanced umbrite. The same material covered his right arm and shoulder also strapped over the hoodie. His left butt pack included a gas mask, a standard bottle full of filtered water, a spyglass, disruptor, four blood increasing pills, a disguise kit, an amanuensis engine, a national map of Kaze no Kuni, a covert listening device and wireless radio. His right butt pack included a lockpick kit, five zipties, three military ration pills, a speedy healing herb, a compass baseplate, two slots of bo shuriken, one slot of hira shuriken, one slot of darts, and one slot of kunai. He secured his tanto on his right thigh.

    Inoryu weaved the hand seal for the shadow clone jutsu and four replicas of his person appeared around him in bursts of smoke granted with 40 ap each due to his affinity for chakra constructs. They were imbued with their orders, so they each began weaving the same series of hand seals that granted them greater invisibility [Will save: 40 each], the glamour concealed them completely from sight. Inoryu had weaved the same series of hand seals and activated the greater invisibility glamour on his own person as well. From that point, the shadow clones scattered.

    The Chunin knew the gist of the area due to seeing it from above and memorizing it during his long fall down to the ground. Therefore, the shadow clones had intrinsic knowledge of the topography as well. Their task was simple: follow along the routes around the large complex and observe the inhabitants. He wanted to determine if it was a human settlement or otherwise. The shadow clones did as directed and made observations of the numerous routes around the hollowed mountain before determining their routes and following them. After some time, the shadow clones would have searched their designated areas and found that the outside of the structure appeared to be deserted. The shadow clones dismissed themselves so Inoryu would gain all of the knowledge they had consumed. 

    Unsatisfied with his findings, Inoryu decided that he would infiltrate the hollowed out mountain to discover exactly who or what resides within. He approached the large entrance door and was met with an opportunity. Before determining if the large doors were unlocked, he would determine a way to use the glamour perception and enter silently. He was confident in his glamour to keep him out of sight as he recalled information that he had studied in a glamour book long ago. He would be patient as it would allow him to observe his surroundings simultaneously. 

    He remembered the book detailing that the glamour perception is a style of genjutsu that effects real objects or persons. He understood it was a deception to manipulate an observer's perception for things ordinarily perceived. With it, he was capable of concealing any visual evidence of his existence or even silencing the creak of an opening portal. His mind intuited the genjutsu from the knowledge he had absorbed about glamours since childhood. 

    Inoryu began weaving a short series of hand seals that he theorized would cause the portal to be silenced. A small amount of chakra transformed into the glamour perception and clung to the entirety of the doors and their frames. Though untested, he was positive that the genjutsu would produce the desired results. He slowly began opening the large portal as if it were being pushed by the wind [Acting: 125]. To his relief, not a sound escaped from door frame. He opened it just large enough so that he may slip through and closed it behind him in the same fashion so any observers might mistake the opening and closing portal for natural winds. 

    He would discover that there were no artificial lights within this place and had to explore in extremely dim lighting. His training in gintsuki no seiko mai emphasized treating all of his senses as equally important so he still might be able to defend himself from danger even while blind. Though he became somewhat nervous as he thought that the creatures dwelling within might purely rely on nightvision. It would put him at a disadvantage, yet, he was determined to press forward by moving silently and using the darkness to enhance his stealth. He had faith that his stealth enhanced umbrite armor that deepened the shadows around him in a two meter radius, as well as the greater invisibility glamour active on his person [Will save: 40] would mitigate any possible threats by night-dwellers. He drew out his tanto, held it forward in the fashion of the flowing ice stance and cautiously proceeded deeper into the temple. [Stealth: 319]

Tiny Tendrils, On my Mind. (Part 1)



    The time had come for Satu to begin learning the Chakra Gavinha. The monk instructed Satu to produce a halo. As instructed, the halo spun in place above his palm. The monk explained, "Through your own chakra you make manifest the halo and with that knowledge you can bend it even further. The chakra gavinha is a tiny tendril from which many of our jutsu are woven from in tandem with the our halos. "Satu placed his other hand over the halo. The chakra bent and became viscous. The tendril sprouted and reached for Satu's hand wrapping around his finger like it had a will of its own. "This is the Chakra Gavinha." The monk exclaimed. He bowed proudly at Satu and smiled.

    Inoryu explored deeper into the hollowed mountain concealed by his glamour [Will save: 40], moving silently [Stealth: 324] and expecting the unexpected with an open mind. The further in that he went, the more dark that the atmosphere became. He held his tanto firmly in his right hand, the blade protruded parallel with the ground in a forward grip. He made sure not to make any noises by stepping heel to toe. His stealth enhanced armor muffled any noise that came from him. He stopped as he heard a voice coming from deeper within. It sounded human, but "What human lives in such conditions?" he wondered. He would take his time as he moved towards the sound of the stranger's voice.
