(No Name) (Zhang Liao)

[Zhu Jian (Malarky)]

Zhu Jian sat against his odachi on a small hill. He over looked a small village, now burning. A bandit raid. It destroyed yet another village. Jian could have helped the villagers; he watched it from the start. But he didn’t. A few men lay dead around him. They saw him watching them and tried to kill him… But they died. Zhu Jian made sure they couldn’t see him again. Their blood was all over him.

He felt the breeze go over him caressing his face softly. He smiled, and looked up at the sky, it was a dark orange, the sun was falling, he could smell the fires, he could smell the blood, he could hear the screams of he people. All he could do was smile. How small and pathetic everyone is. So… Cold this world was. The grass rustled in the breeze. His eyes closed and he leaned back against the large sword and pulled his hood over his head, it was time to get some rest.

[Zhang Liao]

Zhang Liao was watching the village burn from a distance on his white stallion. He got tired of watching and he continued to rid, but it was after 10 min. of riding he saw someone kill a bunch of bandits.
He couldn't help but laugh and applaud to the stranger. I see you have great skills with that weapon, He said as he dismounted and walked up to the man, My name is Zhang Liao and yours is? he asked as he waited for his answer

[Zhu Jian (Malarky)]

Zhu Jian's eyes did not open. His head was still back against the sword as he said, "Zhang Liao? I have heard of that name before. I am not sure where though." Zhu Jian thought half heartedly searched his memory. But he gave up he didn't care. It didn't matter who this man was, or what he was. He didn't care. It wasn't like he needed to know this man. He could tell however he was a warrior by the sound of his armor and the his warhorse. Maybe he should just kill him and leave, that could be better.

"Why should I tell you my name? For some it means nothing, for others it means fear. I am not just someone you should approach without caution Zhang Liao." Zhu Jian said, his eyes still not open. His voice was deep and scratchy. All he wanted was some sleep. This guy just had to interupt.

Off to the side of the hill, a black haired woman ran up dressed in fur armor and a spear in her hands. She got into a battle stance and pointed the spear towards Zhang Liao, "Back away from my lord or pay the price." She said, completely oblivious of the circumstances. Zhu Jian smirked and said nothing. This could be very interesting.

[Zhang Liao]

Liao couldn't help by laugh at the comment, Yes you are right about that stranger but when ever i see a great warrior I always introduce myself, He said as he took off his helmet to show that he didn't want a fight.

But then a girl in fur armor came running up and threatened him, Well my Lady I would only hurt my enemies and your lord is not one of them, he said as he got the leash of his horse and held it in his hands

[Zhu Jian (Malarky)]

Mei Xin lowered her spear slightly, "Fine." She pouted, she wanted a fight. It was too boring around here when her master didn't do anything. She turned to Zhu Jian, "Lord Jian, may I ask you who this man is?"

Zhu Jian eyes stared at her deathly and she cringed, "One, I told you not to call me Lord. Two, Never say my name when around strangers. Three, who cares. Four, why the hell are you here?" He said demanding and darkly, he was growing tired of the interuptions. All he wanted was some sleep. He thought darkly, maybe I should just kill all of them, maybe then they will leave me the hell alone, I grow tired of this. He hadn't had much rest ever since he started his small army. He hoped he could find a lord soon.

Zhu Jian stood up and pulled his sword out of the ground, "Zhang Liao, let us duel, I wish to see your strength."

((I am not thinking of a modded duel, just a short little practice duel, no hp or anything, just messing around if thats okay with you.))

[Zhang Liao]

Liao could sense that this lord Jian was annoyed, but he couldn't pass up a duel, he took out his duel halberds and got into his stance, Well lord Jian, I accept your request for a duel, but i haven't had a duel in 4 months so forgive me if I'm rusty.

[Zhu Jian (Malarky)]

Zhu Jian smiled, his eyes now finally fell on Zhang Liao and he finally took him in. He smirked, it was time for it to get a crazy. He stood slowly and pulled his odachi out of the ground, "Mei Xin stand down." The woman was eager and didn't like the idea of her master fighting, "But lord..."

Zhu Jian stared deathly at her, "No. I am not your lord. I am a comrade. Now, go, begone from my sight." She reared back in fear, obviously she was scared of him, and she looked at Zhang Liao with a little bit of concern, a sick twisted man like Zhu Jian would eat a man like him alive... Maybe.

Zhu Jian pulled his odachi up with both, he place it down into the ground and waited, "You make the first move."
