Xelinglight as Xerailance

I must say that although I love both pictures, I'm not really Satisfied with them. But the source file has become to Large for me to update it too my heart's content. I guess I'll leave it for when I have a better system.

To Subdue the Impossible, and Accomplish the Unthinkable...
-------------------------------------------

<Xelinglight>The music that played in the pub was an old classic, more suitable for remembrances of past love and sorrows than for the mood Xerailance was looking for, the real exuberance that would lead him to another clue concerning the people that mattered most to him. He sat with his back to the wall and drained the remainder of his half-finished sake, then came to a decision. He would fly. There was nothing like the feeling he got from soaring through the clouds. It had been a mistake to come to the pub after all. He stood up and sought out the familiar face of the barman, paying for the booze and adding a generous tip that earned him a grateful smile and pleasant farewell compliments. Once he stepped outside he released the will that had kept his hair firmly in place, and it poured out behind him like a living cloak. He glanced up at the serene clouds and smiled.





<O3-zone> Shirushi felt the cold wind of the night on his face as he stood on the top of a cliff, he liked that serene and peacefull breeze, it helped him escape from everyday troubles, He jumped from the cliff and made hand seals "Katashi Taka no jutsu" he said as his wings grew on his shoulderblades and started flying up, he wanted to use that peacefull night to fly, admire the clouds and the moon, he was calm.





<Xelinglight>The night air wove around the new Jounin, moving around his armor as though seeking hidden cracks and faults in it. He brought up his face mask and pulled till it covered the bridge of his nose, then turned on the sharingan in preparing for flight. A chakra signal he instantly recognized lit up high in the sky. Ranmyaku Shirushi, he thought with a grin. This is better than I had hoped. He bent down as though he had dropped a valuable item, crouched low, then powered eager legs up into a jumped that launched him high above the rooftops. As he reached the zenith of his jump and was just about to begin to descend, he brought his hands in the seal sequence that signified his newest jutsu "Katon! Reikyuu Shoukin no Jutsu! (Fire Element, Coffin Redemption)" then rose like a rocket into the night sky. The Jounin with wings seems to rise up to his eye level with sudden speed. "Hello, Shirushi!" he hailed. "What brings you to the clouds on this excellent night?"






<O3-zone> Shirushi's eyes encountered those of xerailance, "tought i would fly a little just to relax" he said as he looked into the xerailances eyes, he didnt know the intentions of the one he had in front of him, did he wanted to fight? or just to say hello to a fellow shinobi?





<Xelinglight>Xerailance looked at the magnificent wings in admiration. It was one thing to fly, and it was another to soar. "Same here." he replied. He settled in alongside his fellow Jounin and in unison they mastered the night sky, flying in and out and around each other, having a lot of fun in the process, the wind in their faces, the ecstasy of free flight on their minds, the exuberance that could only be gotten from their impossible distance to ground making them dizzy with playfulness. Slowly, they grew more competitive, trying to see who was faster and more acrobatic, and who could turn at the slightest change of the indulgent wind. "Say, Do you mind if we sparred a bit?" he asked his comrade?




<O3-zone>shirushi smiled at Xerailance, he had not had a saprring fight since he became a jounin, and it would be nice to train with an Uchiha "sure, it would be nice. how about we do it here in mid air?" shirushi said as a cold breeze moved his hair softly.





<Xelinglight>"That's what I had in mind, Shiru. Let's have some fun." then he broke off from flying alongside his winged friend and steered slightly to left, faced his head up and powered still higher into the sky. He released the Coffin redemption technique and began to fall, forming seals as he did so. "Kuchiyose no Jutsu" he said. The night sky around them lit up in orange flames as a large bird with a 30 foot wing-span materialized. It had an angled head, sleek wings of a predator and the grace of a sea-bird. It was totally aflame. It was a phoenix. He landed on it with practised skill and smiled cheerishly, the rush of freefall still in his veins. "Ready when you are. You don't necessarily need to summon, but I do, it seems"





<O3-zone> shirushi looked with admiration at the majestic phoenix in front of him, he had never seen such an amazing summon, he stoped in the air and smiled at his comrade "nice, this is going to be quite a challenge, he said as his hands encountered on the center of his chest as he formed a hand seals and said "keitai, ying yang bunshin no jutsu" the two clones appeared at both his sides.




<Xelinglight>He looked at the clones curiously "Who has the first move?" He asked Shirushi. Underneath him, the phoenix asked "What's going on, isn't that your friend?". He looked at the phoenix's head just in front of him.
"Yeah, we're just sparring" he told the phoenix.
"You brought me out just for a spar..." there was a slight irritation in the phoenixes voice.
"Calm down, Iridion," Xerailance replied "I can't fly fully and this is a flight battle. Deal with it"





<O3-zone> the young jounin looked at his friend "you can start" he said as he slowly unwrapped the chain around his body and the night breezed mooved the feathers of his wings "but dont think that means i think you are easy to beat, because no matter how small a spider looks, never underestimate its poison, im not going easy on anyone. that's my way of the ninja




<Xelinglight> "To Subdue The Impossible And Achieve The Unthinkable. That's My Way Of The Ninja" He said with a chilling grin. Then.... then he released a deadly intent into the night sky, and the air was suddenly filled with power. Xerailance brought his hands up in a seal formation and said "Katon, Kagi bunshin no Jutsu" (Fire Element, Fire Clone technique) Three clones appeared on either side, one in front. "Go." he told them, and all three of them released two fire kittens at each enemy clone and at the real thing, six fire kittens in total. Then one of performed the coffin redemption and rose into the night sky, aiming to circle the main foe. Andante, Xerailance thought.
