Gitar walked into the cave the namakian sage waiting for him, the sage nodding a vibe of sadness came from the sage as he entered his cave. "Greetings Gitar you can just call me the sage, i been looking for someone to train before i pass on and i believe you are the one." The sage spoke as he floated heading deeper into the cave "Follow me." Gitar narrowed his eyes but followed. They slowly entered deeper into the cave, it filled with gems which reflected apon the puddles of water making them look clear blue. the father in the cave they went though, the more these crystal appeared along with more water, which reached up to his knees. "Why do you live in a flooded out cave." Gitar said with some confusions, surly there was other places where he could live. "Child these waters reflect ones inner darkness, i found them years ago and this is why i live here because only those with good hearts may pass without my knowledge." He said as they walked he could see two shadows lingering behind them as they walked, Gitar shadow about a tenth of his size, which confused him "Why is my shadow so small." He turned the shadow still there in the same position it was in before black tendrils slowly ripped itself from the shadow as the sage moved his hand the shadows disspearing "that is your inner darkness, namak was not always a world of pure goodness, every world as a shred of darkness." The sage said as we walked to the end of the cave "As every person has a shred of darkness." The sage said as small shadow forming behind him though the sage seem to be able to control it with ease.
They arrived at the end of the cave, which had a large lake in the middle and 6 totem like objects with different kanji that he didn't understand as the sage tapped his staff against one it began to glow, "I need to pass my teaching through what i call the 6 trials." The sage said as the first totem glowed bright illuminating the cave before one of the walls began to shake part of it falling apart reveling another cave system, "I will let you take my mantel and strength as guardian of these caverns." Gitar starred at him with some shock but more confusion, "Why would you choose me there are many other warriors who can protect this place." Gitar asked stumped by what the sage was asking him to do. The sage only shaked his head "You must trust me child, i believe you can pass these trails if you train hard." The sage waved his staff pointing to the second totem, "You passed the trial of earth but now you must face an even more difficult challenge, the trial of fire." Gitar rubbed his head as he sighed "What do i have to do." Gitar said as the sage looked at him "The trial of fire i request a simple task you already defeat the thunder lizard now your passion into your fighting style." The sage moved his hand "You must travel to the northern scar, and light a sacred flame from the top of the Bastion of stone and bring that flame back to me, if you fail." the sage moved his hand pointing his hand a beam streaking out landing next to gitar and blowing the area behind apart, "i'll be forced to hide this location by killing you."
Gitar nodded before flying out towards the large mountains where the torch would be waiting. It didn't take him too long to arrive at the location. It was a large cave the small torch waiting for him outside the massive complex. He grabbed the torch before entering the cave, he was told telepathically before he left he was not allowed to fly, he needed to reach the end of the cave to light the sacred stone. every movement echoed in the large stony halls. He rushed through the light barely illuminating the dark passages. But before, he could reach the ending something caught his eye another flicker in the caverns before man approached out of the darkness, "I am the Guariden of the flame and this is the end of your journey brave namakian."
The man appeared from the shadows a large snake made of pure flames coiled around him, He looked somewhat like a namakian but he was not sure. His body was covered with thick rags. The man rushed towards the Namakian without any more words as Gitar powered up, he could not hold back he didn't know what the man was capable of. His fist smashed against gitar arm sending him tumbling before he let go of the torch it spinning into the hall way. "The Torch!" He yelled as he leaped towards it to only be kicked in the gut by the man he stopping himself with a kai landing floating mid air but it was all dark, without the torch or the mans fire snake to Illuminati the hallways he could not see a thing. He looked around the walk way before a flicker illuminated his view before the man knee came crashing into him he flying down blood splattering on the floor. The man floated above him nodding "You can't stop me if this is how you fight." He rushed down aiming an elbow at him but Gitar flipped out of the way before the room flicked going complety black agian. He turned running trying to find the torch but all he ended up doing was smashing against the wall. Then the flicker appeared agian as the man rushed right at him Gitar ducking under as the mans knee hit the wall causing stones to crumble around him.
He leaped back pushing his hands against the ground as he collected himself, where did the man go. He had disspeared back into the darkness. Gitar looked around seeing a flicker in the distance. He ran towards it but all that appeared was the man his elbow connecting with gitar face before he thrusted his hand out trying to punch gitar in the gut but he raised an arm blocking it before attempting to retaliate with his other arm going for a punch but the man leaped into the shadows disspearing. Gitar could not find the light anywhere, he needed that damn torch to win. The Frustration caught up to him he pounding his hands against the ground listening to the shaking of the rocks around him as he pounded....He stopped stareing at the ground, though he could not see a thing.....sounds! The namakian realized, the torch was a crutch, he would be so focused on that he would not remember he still had his other senses, he may not be able to see but it did not mean he forgot to fight. He closed his eyes letting his antennae doing the work. He was now in all listening mode.
The small tapping of stone followed suit as the man rushed at him from behind going for a Axe kick, but Gitar heard him leap from the ground, ever so softly, he leaping to the side before throwing out a punch feeling something at the other end. He opened his eyes seeing the man crumbling over as he nailed him right in the jaw the man leaping back into the shadows and Gitar turned running deeper into the darkness, he still needed the torch that might of been more luck then actually skill, but the torch was needed to finsh this challenge he was given by the namak sage. He found a flash of light in front of him as the small wooden torch laid on the floor the flame almost gone. Then he heard the tapping of feet as the man rushed at him Throwing an elbow which gitar grabbed before they both flew forward crashing into the walls. The man coughed before taking a stance "I won't let you moc the Guariden of fire agian." The man rushed right at him throwing out another punch gitar catching it before they both threw barrages of punches starting a battle of pure speed. Each man landed their own set of blows before separating the torch being flung into the air above them. They both narrowed their eyes at one another before rushing in order to catch the torch.
They rushed in Gitar grabbing the torch first but he was kicked away. The torch being flung into the air as the guariden snake like creature reached for it but gitar threw out a ki blast knocking the snake away the torch flying up once more before gitar extended his arm catching the torch. He had what he needed now but the man was still ready to attack he rushing in as ki appeared around his arm. "This is my Viper's Strike once your hit with these i'll be the end." Gitar stared at him as he took a stance wind forming around his hand, the men rushed at eachother. The man thrusted his arm first as Gitar pivoted the blow glancing his chest before he coughed out blood flames searing his side, but he was surprised, he was not as powerful as he expected, it made sense. He was not that strong but most could not defeat him because they could not even fight him. He pulled his arm back going for an uppercut knocking the man slightly off his feet before thrusting his arm into the mans chest "Gust palm!!!!" A gust of air rushed through the halls and through the mans chest as he coughed blood he flying across the room into a pillar collapsing defeated "You have won, Gitar you may pass." He said as gitar nodded walking towards the the the spot where he'd place the flame to ignite the sacred flame, and complete his quest. He approached the large statue of a phoenix like creature lay before him as he bowed placing the torch on the pyre which set it ablaze causing a large glow to emanating throughout the previously darkened halls, he knew he had completed his quest. a small smile formed on his face before he turned heading back to meet with his master.
