The meeting of the master((Rogin))

[Drgnwlf71]

Roridyn was walking in the forest and she sat by a stream. She was crying. What for? She was still in a daze for killing her own brother. It has been two weeks until that fateful day. She felt lost. She needed direction.

"Now what? Without Ranim, I'm lost. I'm am nothing now." Roridyn still believed that she needed her brother. "Veran says I don't care and that I am unfeeling! I am not. Why do I cry for my brother then? Why did I save Kria? I am compassionate and I do have love, don't I? Is my love for Konta for real or something I'll regret doing? I am so confused."

Rori leaned her head on the tree nearby and sighed. Kria ran up to her and wanted to play. She smiled tenderly at her.

"I wish I had your energy." She ran and played with the pup and she laughed. "Do you think Konta likes me?" Kria licked her face and snugged her. She has been learning to love again with Kria. She insisted on feeding her, cleans up after her, gives her baths and grooms her. She picked her up and twirled her around and she was giggling. She was happy again. She danced through the shallow of the water. The fact that Konta gave her the pup was shocking. The pup yipped happily and licked her face. She giggled.

Rogin was like death. He seemed to hang around the depressed. So naturally he was around Rori as she walked through HIS forest. With a grin he moved from the shadows and stood next to her as she spun. "Well that is easy to know. Veran doesn't mean you yourself are unfeeling. He means you are not one to care about the feelings of others. Even Veran, a man of torture, cares how others feel. He thrives on them feeling pain, agony, sorrow and emptiness. He likes the negative feelings. But you care about none of them." he said.

Rogin looked at her and kria. He knew the pup was Konta's favorite. So it was an important fact of him giving the pup to Rori. Rogin missed nothing in his home. He knew Konta was in love but he didn't trust anyone. Rogin only had his trust because they grew up together pretty much. They were part of the same band of Renegades before Rogin took power. They were real family. "Now the question is, would you like to learn from me? Your life will be in danger 100%. Just because you are with me I might want to kill you my self." Rogin grinned and chuckled.

Kria saw Rogin was yipped excitedly and ran to him. Rori took a defense posture right away as she turned.

"I might. Depends what new skills you offer to teach me." She narrowed her eyes. "You had best be able to back those words up. I have been taught by many. Me and my broth-" she choked up and a pained sigh. Her weapon of choice; a black whip. She unraveled it. "I am not that easily killed."

Rori sighed "It's not that easy, sir. I just found out that Ranim betrayed me. The ultimate. He made me believe that -I- killed all those people, burned them in actuality it was him. I was going to have a pup and he killed it before it a chance to live. He blamed my father. My father took my eye and Ranim said that he hated me. I blinded him with some flammable liquid and I- I------set him on fire. He went after Tia, then me. I ran to get Veran because I didn't want to see Tiaholt like that. When I tried to protect her, my brother cut me and wouldn't rest until he was dead. Would I do that I didn't care? Would I go risk my life for theirs? Veran only knows half of the story, sir. He did not see the my kick in his face, he did not see me cut him open from navel to neck when I protected little Kria from Ranim's clutches. He did not see me risk life and limb trying to protect the smaller pup from that feline attack. He did not see me kill my own brother, how much it pained me to do so."

"Veran is a kind soul, even though he plays tough. I may not know love but Konta has given me his puppy. His most prized. She has been teaching me how to love again, sir. I am an Arsonist that plays with fire. My weapon of choice is a whip and knives for close ranged attacked. I would never go against you. I can see it in your eyes." Rori dare to look in his eyes and chuckled. "Ranim's eyes were colder. I would be fool to go up against you. You are an experienced fighter."

She whipped his wrist and pulled him toward her and grinned.

"Shall we dance?"

[mc16neo]

Rogin was a man that wasn't easily surprised. "Do you know who I am?" he asked. When the whip came to his wrist and pulled him to her he had a knife up to her throat. "I would never allow you to attack me without a return." Rogin grinned. "And you do not know the lengths I have gone myself. Talavi was hunted by her father. I had her kill him before I took her in. Tia...Well I forgot what happened with her. We all have killed. I killed my parents. And currently I aim for my little brother."

Rogin looked Rori over. He could see why Konta liked her. "I have trained all that live here myself. I am Rogin. The leader of the Family. Do you really think you can stand against me?" Rogin smiled and kind of wanted her to try. She might have something worth while.

[Drgnwlf71]

"Me, I am fearless. I am done with being afraid. No man rules my life, right now. Attack? Whatever do you mean?" she played 'innocent' very well. She grinned. "I may be 14, Rogin but I know and have the experience to back my words up. I -know- I can." Roridyn was confident. She grinned again. "Okay, now let's have some fun!" she eased her neck back a little. "As you can see, I am not afraid to attack anyone."

Once close, she drew her knife and tried to cut him on the side. She was inches away from his face. She grinned and snapped at him, playfully. She then put her foot on his upper body and pushed him away.

[mc16neo]

Rogin did not take kindly to any that treated him this way. He moved away and was ready. He began to get serious. His body was wanting to have a fight. He began to move to a better vantage point. He drew a second knife and was ready. Rogin moved behind rocks and disappeared.

Rogin moved silently. He was a master of attack. He would be sure to kill her. None lived to embarrass him. Konta wouldn't get to win over this woman. She will be turning the river red with her blood. Rogin got behind her and began to move in to strike. Each step sure and quiet.

[Drgnwlf71]

Without her brother there to protect her, she was vulnerable to such attacks. She smiled. Roridyn didn't know Rogin. She turned, without looking at him. "You want to fight, do you? I will not fight you. I am done with you and fighting. I am done with all the lies my brother has told. There is some else here. I sense their presence. I am tired of being targeted as my death." I sniffed the air and a sense that Rogin wasn't alone. "I sense that some else is here, dear Rogin. Who is it? Veran or maybe Konta? No.....no...its someone else. QUYNN!!!!" she shouted as the 13 Turn old boy was closing in as well. She had dealt with Quynn before, when she had dealt with her brother.

Two attackers. Rogin. Quynn. Both want her. One wants her body. The other wants her dead. One on front. One behind. Quynn attacked first. He charged. Roridyn jumped over him and as she over she put down her knife and put a cut from mid-back to nape of the neck. He yelped in pain. "Neither of you are going to take me! Rogin, you want me dead. Quynn, you want this?" She stripped her clothes. "Come get it!"

Quynn charged her again. She chuckled as she stopped dead in his track with her hand on his neck as she slammed him down hard against the rocks of the river bed her knife to him throat. "Give me one good reason to let you live, deadglow wherry-brained Beast!" Her eyes were ice cold and had no love for this annoyance.

"What do you think your doing?" She asked. "Do you think for once I don't sense you behind me?" She squeezed Quynn's neck as she watched Rogin as well. She held Quynn down as Rogin advanced on her. "I am sorry I snapped at you. I had not expected that -little- annoyance to come by. How about an exchange? My life for his. I can change Rogin, he cannot. I think that -he- caused more trouble with your Band than me. I just broke the big guys trust. I am working on getting it back. Quynn, from what I here has caused you trouble since day one." She felt Quynn touch her inner thigh. "Ah, don't! Such a brave fellow you are. I have you by the neck and you STILL reach for my privates?" She laughed. "I will not allow no other man touch me, except Konta."

Quynn eyes got big as he remember what Rogin did to him. He squirmed underneath her hand. She grabbed his neck, picked him him and slammed him down again, much harder this time.

"Be STILL or -I'll- quadruple the pain!" She stood up and took Quynn up the throat and tossed him to Rogin. He was groaning in pain. "So what do you say? My life for his. I'm sure a bunch of your problems will be solved just by getting rid of him. If you kill me, no much will change. You things to change with a problem? There's your problem. I have already gotten rid of one for you. Rogin, I killed my brother for you. I could see how much pain he has caused everyone. True I haven't been here for very long but I can tell by looking in the eyes when the talk about him. Please, keep me alive. I am worthy." Rori negotiated.

"I have many crafts, stone, wood, glass and even metal. I can make weapons. Tailorcraft, Harper, an Artist and a Musician and cook. I can make a mean watersnake stew. I am well versed in Math and I can teach little ones as well. I love children. If the whip is a new weapon to your Band, I can teach others how use it effectively. It can be a a form of torture as well. I can, if I may, show Veran how to use it effectively as a tool for torture. I was trained by a woman called Darset." She informed Rogin. "I can also blend in my surroundings very well. All my skills, my whip, and knives are yours to command." Quynn whined. Rori elbowed him in the face. She knelt down before Him. "I have so much more to learn and I just started to love again. Kria.....she will miss me. I love Konta with all my heart. Its hurts me to see that we will never be together. I saved many lives this week. Tiaholt by running to get Veran. I was worried about her. If I did not care, I would not have warned him. Kria from my brothers clutches. Konta's by letting him cool off when he was cross with me. You are wrong about me, Rogin, and if I may I will prove it."

[mc16neo]

Rogin did not like being interupted. And he hated how she thought she could treat him like a normal man. He was far from Normal. Rogin went to Quynn and glared at him. He let out a rather ticked off sound from his throat. "I thought I warned you once. I am tired of you Quynn. First you lie to me. That alone sends death. Then you have tried to take my egg from me. Then you attack my family. You will now regret it."

Rogin began to torture Quynn in ways that Veran only dreamed. He was sure Quynn remembered it. Killing him would be to easy. He wanted the pain to last. Once he was done he looked at Rori. "Looks more like you can't change." Rogin whipped blood off his face. "Why did you show your body to someone that isn't Konta if you want him so much. And how did you save him by letting him cool off. More like you saved yourself."
