To Know Thy Enemy (Leon)

[Thorn Wyatt]

Elias' head bounces like a cat toy back and forth, up until he suddenly lunges forward to grab Leon in a clinch like an exhausted boxer, his eyes already beginning to swell up. He wipes his face on Leon's shoulder, then his own shoulder, trying desperately to hold on for the moment and save his poor abused face from more punishment.

"You...train quick..."

Before attempting to headbutt Leon in return!

At least it's his forehead, and not his face.

[Leon]

The boxing clench would keep Leon's hooking jabs from punishing Elias' face anymore, and Leon couldn't do much else due to his knee pulsing with some pain. He would have to control the clench if he wanted to get back into the dominant position, though the headbutt caught him in the face this time, his nose bursting blood as it rocked his head back. Eyes still closed from having the blood spit in them his left fist gripping Elias' shirt collar, his right fist falling to his side before he would shoot it up, shifting his feet to use as the base of power to throw a quick upercut for Elias' chin.

A new throb of pain shot through his leg from using the knee for the strike, but he didn't really have a choice.

[Thorn Wyatt]

Elias' head flies back from the impact, and he essentially goes limp in Leon's grip on his shirt.

He's still conscious, but he's definitely not really in any condition to fight.

"Ha.....gotcha.... to bleed..."

He chuckles.

[Leon]

Leon's head would tilt slightly as he looked at Elias. Well with his eye's closed holding him up by the collar, his smile spreading wider across his face, tented pink from the blood.

"That you did... Guess what else."

Leon would accurately grab for the bells Elias put in his pocket and hold them up giving them a shake. Elias this time could heard the rattle of the bells.

"Welcome to stage 2."

Leon would walk off dragging Elias with him to bring him to the infirmary, letting him get worked on Leon would stay around until he was done getting cleaned up, getting cleaned up himself.

"I have a list of things for you to do, but before that let me explain your position. Are you ready to listen?"

[Thorn Wyatt]

"Haaa...."

The one word of laughter is all that Elias gives, even throughout the journey to the infirmary and his injuries being worked on. The silence, however, is a stark contrast to the thoughts spilling through his mind.

Mostly of revenge, though the subject of his revenge isn't really clear. The form keeps shifting.

Eventually, he turns to look at Leon, frowning a little. A whole list sounded like this was going to take a while...

"I'm listening."

[Leon]

"I am Leon Sudeki. The Lightning Dragon. You are to be a Dragon Apprentice to become named. That means you will become a target, but also gain prestige. Should you represent me in a way that looks bad on me I'll kill you, should another Dragon deem you are not fit for the position of Dragon they will kill you. Should you complete the training you will kill them."

The whole time Leon was writing out his list, saying it out loud as he went.

"Defeat a God
Defeat an Alpha Qi Beast
Become a God
Obtain a Seikatsugan/Eye of Heaven/Eye of Earth.
Obtain a Relic
Create a Coat
Defeat an entire territory by yourself
Find and kill Me."

He would hand the paper to Elias.

"Any questions?"

[Thorn Wyatt]

Elias takes the paper, looks at it for a moment, then looks at Leon.

"I can't read."

[Leon]

Leon would groan and tap Elias on the forehead and look him in the eyes. Elias would be once again trapped in the dream world. Spending four whole lifetimes from his current age to the age of 80 learning to read. Four times. What even is real anymore? Is this his real life?

[Thorn Wyatt]

Elias just sits in bed once it's over.

Staring.

Continually staring.

[Leon]

"There, now you can read."

Leon points at the list.

"Those are your objectives. Savvy?"

[Thorn Wyatt]

"Question."

Elias points at the list.

"Is this list in order?"

[Leon]

"Hmm, no. The only one that requires any order to it, is killing me. Has to be done last."

Leon would shrug while nodding.

"Want you to be ready."

[Thorn Wyatt]

Well. There goes poisoning him in his sleep.

"Second question. What's an Eye of Heaven, Eye of Earth... Seik-something?"

[Leon]

Leon's eye would once again transform into the gold and black it was when he activated his Qi.

"This is a Seikatsugan. My bloodline has these eyes. Take one, and find someone who will transplant one into you. Likely someone in territory one."

He'd project an image one Blue and the other Orange.

"The Eye of Heaven, the blue one. and The Eye of Earth, the orange one. They come in shades. Sky and bright colors are going to be the eye of heaven, where reds or earthen dark colors are going to be earth. It's the blood line of the Blaze family. Also transplantable if you take one."

[Thorn Wyatt]

That makes Elias tilt his head, giving a soft smile.

"You don't have a preference? Whether I take someone's eyes from your clan or not."
