Sogue landed lithely on both feet, brushing off his shoulders.
"Well, what're we gonna do today, Gravear?" he asked.

Darth Gravear sat up a little more to reveal that he had been cutting out long post with points. once he finished that one he tossed over the side where it feel onto a huge pile of thosands of thin blade like pools. Slwowly the man stood and pulled the huge round hat over his face out of the way and looked you in the eye.
"Take off all your armor and give me your wepons. You get nothing but your underclothing," Darth Gravear said pulling a large bascit form behind him for Sogue to drop his things in.

Sogue quickly undressed and coughed. He stood in his boxers, waiting for Gravear to explain what he should be doing. He felt itchy in the forest like environment, and anticipation swept over him.

Darth Gravear threw the things to the side and then dropped to the surface level. Once Sogue had fallowed Darth Gravear told him to sit and strap these rocks to his feet. The small boulders where smooth around the inside but rough and heavy on the outer edge. Darth Gravear give Sogue two more to go around his wrist and then a huge one to go around his back. It rested on his shoulders like a huge back pack and couldn't be carried with out slouching.
Then with one swift motion Darth Gravear spun with his blade and cut into the air where it threw all of the pointed post upwards and then another motion to ground the post about 4 feet into the floor, leaving the tops about 20 feet above the ground. The wyren wobbled its way over towards Darth G as if knowing what was about to happened and then lifted Sogue’s now much heavier body onto the posts.
"I’m going to teach you a very difficult skill that will help you keep the offensive even when your enemy is attacking. Its called a bridge move. It contains allot of concentration, skill, balance, and most of all luck. If your at all familiar with a counter, then you must know how effective and important they are. This skill is known as what you call a first counter. It is allowed to be used no matter who’s attacking, what going on or even if your being hit. What your going to end up learning is how to become apart of an enemy’s weapon, by either walking along it as they attack you, grabbing on to it, keeping parallel with it, or latching on to it to pull you closer to an enemy.”

Even though the rocks were quite heavy and uncomfortable to wear, Sogue had an okay time with them. He was a vampire, after all, and he could lift things that other's couldn't. He didn't like having the restricted movement, however.
"Okay, i'm up for it."

"Then what you must do is walk along all of those post and do so with speed and swiftness. You will not have this down for another month maybe but if you are persistent then this will be no challenge." Darth Gravear said moving over to Sogue and knocking him over with a sift push.
"These rocks are not clothing or something you are where but your very self. You will learn to count on them, you will learn to use your body and everything around you as yourself."

It took Sogue some effort to get up, but he did, eventually. He managed to slide himself onto the back of the Wyvern who sqwaked and flew Sogue up. Sogue dismounted with a lot of effort and then tried to move across the beam. He shifted from side to side a lot, but his superior physical power kept him up without falling.

Your physicla power kept you up but knowcked the post to the floor as soon as you where about 3 ft in.
"Yes this may make it more real and chalenging. The post may be in the ground but not enough to soport anything. A flick could knock them over. try again" Darth Gravear barked out casting the same wind and setting the post back up again.

((Wait, describe how these things are positioned again...))

((they are in a long line, about a mile long. 30 feet tall, with 10 inch long points on the ends that are at the top. Your walking on the pointy end. The bottom end is only in the ground about 3 feet making it very unstable and hard to balance on as well as keeping the post balanced. Is this good enough))  

[SkittleScion]

((I can work with it.))
Sogue mounted the board again. He crept more slowly over the boards, making double sure that all of his movements were calculated and under control. He would have to start out slow and sure before progressing to more quick manuvres. He tried to meld his body to the stones, to make his nerves creep up into them so that he could feel them, to make them part of him, like Gravear had instructed him.

"Thats right, there you go, you must feel how the weight is being shifted. To much to quickly to cause you to slip into the blade and not on it. now, I wnat you to think of standing completly still. Then picture yourself stepping forward and then falling, only to end up running along the ground. That is what it will feel like. You will fall off these post, every time. What will happen is the fect that your falling you will be able to use at your own benifit to move along them more quicly even if your are falling."  

[SkittleScion]

Sogue halted all movement. He closed his eyes and made sure he could visualize the boards in front of him. He cooled his body temp down and then slowed his heart rate. He felt a spike of adrenaline rise up in him, and welcomed it. Then he let his body go limp. He slipped forward, but it was a controlled slip. His feet gingerly coalesced around the wooden board and then found purchase. Sogue's feet, even with the rocks attached, somehow BECAUSE the rocks were attached, seemed to connect with each step to the 'blade' of the wooden pole. Sogue felt his body hunker down as he blazed down the structure.

"My god, the balance," he whispered, eyes still closed. He felt the wood through his naked feet as splinters sliced them. He barely felt the pain. He was connected to the wood through the touch.

"Now what will ahppen feels more like the wood is moving, not you. just like you ahve conected to the rock you must conect to the wood and let it move you. Move with the power within them, the forces within them. Everything moving and moving together. You too must move!" Darth gravear said Lifting sogue from the ground and then smiling. You had been focusing so hard on sticking to the post, that it worked untill you couldn't hold it any longer. All the stress was in the post and rock so you barly even felt the fact that you had fallen, not helping that your eyes where closed.
"Everything, do it again, but now, move!!!!"  

[SkittleScion]

Sogue mouthed a silent "Thank you," to Gravear as he was placed back at the starting point. He himself was impressed with his improvement rate. He didn't know why he seemed to be excelling. But he needed to shut down this exitement. He needed to have control.

He focused again, slowed down his body and let himself fall into the blade, felt his feet massage it in it's own strage slicing way. He felt the board and the rocks and his feet all move together, but it felt as if his feet were simply keeping him afloat, so to speak, that the board and the rock were moving, and Sogue was meerly along for the ride as his body flew down the rock. Sogue's eyes remained closed. He wanted to feel this movement, this balance, before he visualised it.

For a long time you felt as though you where swaying, like a leaf falling from a tree in a cold otum day. Then slowly the movment speed up, as though you where being tugged by. It made you dizzy it was so fast. Once you finaly opened your eyes in fear you stomake would get sick you saw the rocks sliding acroos the the pools. for a bit it worked untill you began feeling your legs again. The touch of the pool hitting your foot threw you to the side into a tree. Hours had past while you had your eyes closed untill you opened them for a second to have them closed again for a day for hitting your head on the tree. Knocked you out instantly.
((yeah I know that waspretty horible but I couldn't figure out how to reword it.))
