Finding Ones Self(Quest)

[Wei Ning]

~Wei Ning~

~Wei sighed softly as he stood over the graves of his former comrades. The Winds blew in from the north and the river nearby ran swiftly in their currants. Other then the water there wasn't a single sound in the air. A tear actually made it down Weis cheek as he stared off into the distance. Memories just came flooding into him. Not only of his two fallen comrades but of others as well.~

~Everyone he knew was flashing before him. One by one their faces were clear as day. They all seemed to have a perpose in this life. Yet Wei never really knew his own perpose. He had been with Wu, then he moved to Burai's crew, and now he was a pirate with Rui, His second in command in fact. An honorable position indeed.~

~He shrugged a bit as he let his mind wander this much needed path. His hand moved up along his shoulder and he removed his pink cloak in thought. He then placed it upon Soi Fangs grave site. It was her's after all, one of the few times she dressed up she used it. He felt he needed it to remember her by, yet he knew now that his memories were enough.~

~With the cloak gone he only wore his black tunic and pants, he'd later find something else to help fillout his ward robe. His hues then wandered the vast landscape along the rivers edge. Wei's friends weren't the only people buried here. Sure in this spot yes but their was a cemetary just over the hill. Wei heard some commotion in the air. It sounded as if it were coming from there.~

~Moving slowly Wei made his way along the hill, his guard was up as he didn't know what was happening. As he peeked the hill he laided on his stomache to view the area to see what was going on, after all if it were just some others morning their loved ones Wei didn't want to disturb them. On the other hand if a nice lady was in distress Wei wouldn't wanna let that happen either. After all, he had a soft spot for most women anyhow.~

~Wei Ning~

~Wei Sighed as he watched, it was a pack of four bandits grave digging. Must be something nice in that grave Wei thought to himself. He shook his head once more thinking about what he'd do if he found someone digging up his comrades graves. He couldn't just let someone elses loved one be dug up like this. It was immoral, very wrong.~

~With that thought lingering in his mind he shook his head and moved down the hill slowly, his hands close but not upon the hilts of his swords. He didn't wish to be seen as a threat just yet. He had hoped to get a few answers first, he couldn't put off his curiousity.~

~Wei approched the bandits slowly. His hues taking in everyone of them. The smallest and biggest of the four stood up staring at the whole. Two others did the grunt work of digging, they seemed about Wei's size. After sizing them up he saw the weapons. two spears, a hammer, and a sword. More then likely the hammer was the big mans. He also saw the spears stacked against the tomestone, the two grunts weapons. The sword was with the smaller man.~

~He smirked a bit, typical bandits all the same. "So may I have the pleasure in knowing what ya digging for?" Wei asked mockingly as he was close enough for them to finally notice him from their work.~

~"This is of no concern to you peasent, walk away while you still can." The smaller man barked as he reached for his weapon hilt. "I just wanna know what to tell the family whos grave you're desicrating."~

~With his smug remark he didn't yet draw, perhaps these men would answer his words. The two digging got out of the hole and grabbed their weapons staring at Wei in thought, they didn't know what to make of him really. The smirked and waited for their signal.~

~The leader thought a moment and looked at Wei. "Well if you must know the woman here was buried with quite abit of her jewelry. Worth a pretty penny if ya know what i mean. Care to go in on this with us or you gonna die before ya can turn around?" The leader asked quite calmly.~

~Wei looked at the goons and shook his head. "Well quite tempting, it really is, but I guess ima have to die then hmm?" Wei smirked as the two ran at him with his comment. He turned to the side quickly drawing his swords pushing the spear heads away from his body he watched as they kept coming closer. They had a bit of trouble stopping so Wei capitalized on this and turned facing their backs as he menuvered them behind himself slicing open both of their backs.~

~"I'm afraid im not dead just yet." Wei remarked turning to the bigger man and pointed his weapon at him. "Perhaps you may do the honor?" The big man smiled grabbing the hammer almost as big as Wei really and he moved slowly towards Wei.~

~The hammer slammed the ground with force as Wei jumped from side to side. This man had been seasoned with this weapon but still slightly on the slow side. The movements where wild as the man grunted with each swing. Wei was tiring out the man, he hoped at least.~

~Wei Ning~

~Wei Looked at the big man as he knew the man was getting tired. His movements where much slower now. The big man grunted as he looked at Wei and sighed. Wei smiled as he moved towards the big man swiftly. With the blunt end of the hilt on his sword Wei slammed it into the mans head knocking the tired man out watching the large body fall Wei smirked.~

~"To bad, I'm still not dead yet. darn. Perhaps you?!" Wei's words were cut off when the short mans sword pushed along Wei right eye as he turned to address the man. Grunting at the cheap shot wei Stepped back a bit and sighed softly. "Hmmm, My eye hmmm...." Is all Wei said. Wei then moved into his stance as he watched the man with his one good eye. "Play Time."~

~With those words the man attacks, skilled yet wild with his slashes. Wei parries every shot quickly, the clash of swords are heard all around the cemetary. Drowning out the rivers running water. The bandit woould attack Wei would move to another parry. With one more parry wei pushes his other sword up straight up slicing derectly through the mans torso. The bandit stops fighting, and stares blankly for a moment, before his body falls lifeless.~

~Wei sighes sheathing his blades and looks around. He then pulls a headband from the big man and places it around his head pulling it over his eye. He'd have to get it looked at once he gets back to the ship. he nods and begans buring the half dug grave. Returning it to what it once was before the greedy men came.~

~Wei thought to himself as he listened to the water silently. This was who Wei was, a loyal companion to Rui. A man who had a dream to make his comrades proud. Wei was second in command of the pirates under Rui. He was proud of that, he shall do his best to keep it that way and he'd always remember those he past that brought him to his currant position. Wei had no choice but to continue his path in life, and that Wei Ning shall do.~
