As Indo said her name, Sunset glowed briefly and warmed up.
"I know I can't possibly understand fully, but I understand how it feels to think you'll be alone forever," Saerien said, placing a hand on Indo's shoulder.

Indo smiled, and held Sunset. *thanks.*

Saerien proceeded to explain a multitude of blows and counters, and explaining that Sunset would sometimes move his hand to block a blow, finishing by saying, "It's time for me to test what you have learned. Ready position!"

Saerien dropped into a ready position, brandishing Crystal, which was glowing softly.

Indo took Sunset out, spun it (her?) around, and got in a battle position, careful not to press the bump on the handle too much. *ready.*

Black and White stopped to watch.

(her)
Saerien faked a lunge, and leaped over Indo, slashing at his chest.

(Saerien is making it look like he was intent upon killing Indo, but is only going to cause surface wounds that Saria can heal.)

Indo ducked and rolled to the side, but got cut on the shoulder. he grabbed the wound and growled, then threw Sunset at Saerian, yelling, *Follow! dont kill!*

Saerien dodged Sunset, and flung Crystal at Indo, then barking "Halt," when the blade was a half-inch in Indo's ribs. He caught Sunset as she circled around, avoiding the bump on her handle, and barked "Return," making Crystal jump back to his hand.

Indo paled, seeing the knives in Saerians hands. then he saw the bump on Sunset, and his eyes went into slits. he roared, and jumped at Saerian like a man possessed. then, shockingly, he dissapeared. dust began flying up in a circle around Saerian, and a rumble, like a growl, sounded throughout the cave.

White blinked, suprised, then grinned.

Saerien whispered something, and dirt fell from the roof. It covered Indo, and Saerien threw Crystal again, this time letting it lodge in Indo's knee before recalling it.

Indo roared and stumbled, collapsing. he tried to rise, then roared in pain and fell. he whispered something, and Sunset jerked out of Saerians hand and into his. then he lowered his body tempurture to keep more energy, and started falling unconscious, blood gushing out of his shoulder and his leg.
