Yen Wang was laying down, on top of a hill near Jian Ning. He was relaxing and reflecting about his recent events. It had been a few months now since his awakening. Those around him claimed to of known him in his past life. Vague and faded images of that life haunt him now. Was Yen Wang only a remnant, a shade of the former self? They claimed he was a valiant man, who drifted along. Without a care in the world; thinking about him leading such a life made him sick.
Images of a ruff looking make with an eye patch plague him night and day. "That can't be me!" Refusing to accept what appeared to be the only connection he had to his previous life. There was one thing he admired about that man in his thoughts. It was his attitude and morals. "If that being was me, I am honored to have lived that kind of life." It was agonizing for Yen Wang to admit it.
Now is a new time, Yen Wang had to cast down his judgement upon China. He didn't know who would survive his wrath, nor did he care. He only cared about his followers; which had reaching grown. He recruited a thousand peasants and the young warrior Rasa. Finally he had been making some progress. Yen Wang stretched and yawned, as he looked up at the clouds and watched them stroll by. "Such a peaceful day, Even the violent winds of chaos needs rest."

Jian Ning. Close to his home of Yun Nan. Zhu Jian slowly walked along. An unusual wind blew, cooling him down. He was wearing his armor, he was dragging his Odachi behind him, his knives at his waist. His black armor stuck out among the green as did his white hair. To any onlooker he would seem out of place. However, he was used to it. Traveling deep in the jungles in his armor would kill some, but it was easy for him.
His mind strayed to his new village, Feng Huang, the one he helped build and the one he runs. Outsiders have started to come to it and settle down, the standing population around five hundred. He was glad that he did do so well, but the village was starting to over flow and it was weighing on his mind.
He looked up at a hill and saw a man laying down. He strode up the hill and stood over the man, his head blocking the sun from the man's face, "You seem relaxed."

An unfamiliar voice reached his ears. He didn't know what to think of it, as he pondered on who it could be. A figure appeared over him. "Yes, I was relaxed until a behemoth decided to stand in front of the sun. Would you mind stepping to the side?" Yen Wang stared up at the man; he had an dull expression on his face.
Why do people have to do some obscure things? Perhaps he wanted to gaze upon a truly magnificent being. "I don't blame your curiosity. Wanting to stand this close to a idol such as I. Do yourself a favor and take a few steps back, You are coming on too strong, no one likes an orge."

Immediately he took a disliking of this man. Such an asshole, Zhu Jian thought. His hand gripped his odachi, calm yourself, no blood here. Zhu Jian fumed in his mind though, fantasizing about drinking this man's blood. He smiled deathly and chuckled, that would be good. He didn't move at all however, and knew this would anger him. He wanted this man to make the first move if it came to fighting.
Zhu Jian laughed mockingly at the man, "An idol? I don't even know who you are. I'll tell you that around the south near Yun Nan, I am the idol for serial killers and bandits alike. I am Zhu Jian the Bloodthristy. To think that you are so high and mighty is a sign of insecurity in yourself. You seem weak and pathetic to me." He smiled mockingly at the man, hoping it would provoke him. He had seen his type before, self centered and arrogant. Quite the moron.
"If you are so famous, what is your name?" Zhu Jian asked.

Rasa listened to the conversation going on below him as he swung through the trees. This man Zhu Jian tried to spout out an impressive title as if it made a difference. An idol to thieves and bandits? He sounded more like a killer who just enjoyed slaughter. Rasa couldn't take it any more. He fell backwards, hooking a branch with his legs so that he swung in an arc. When his belly became parallel with the ground he straightened his legs and reached for the next branch with his arms, swinging rapidly downward and a pace only describable as breakneck. "You address my Lord Tiger, Yen Wang. Show some respect." He called as he hit the ground in a crouch.

Yen Wang’s eyes narrowed and his dull stare became a glare. “You-“Before he finished Rasa appeared. The tension that was built up ceased. “Rasa…you do have some odd habits.” A bead of sweat rolled down his cheek. “I didn’t know he was there! If that is the case he could be watching me closely..” He nodded to himself and forced a smile. “As he mentioned, I am Lord..Yen Wang. You might be famous in the south, but the north is my territory. Please be wary when you enter a tiger’s lair.”
His left hand slowly drifted to his side; his fingers laced around the last section of his tri-staff. His gaze stayed on the fool who blocked his sun. “Murderer, if you confuse my confidence with insecurity you are gravely mistaken. I am not a man that can be figured out so easily. Especially form a petty blood driven mercenary?” Yen Wang smiled, “It’s humorous to hear such a man boast about where he is from. I had done unspeakable evils, in the name of heaven’s judgment. A man who famous among killers; isn’t famous at all. A title among cretins, is like a water bug in a pile of roaches.”

As the man named Rasa came down, Zhu Jian's eyes shifted towards him. The man was odd. He laughed anyway, "I didn't disrespect him now. I made observations and assumptions. I have nothing against your lord." Zhu Jian looked at Rasa then to Yue Wang. There was something about him that looked very familiar. But He didn't know what it was. It was dark...
Zhu Jian smirked, "I remember you now. The graveyard with that young lady. I see now." Zhu Jian smirked again as he remembered that night. It was a most interesting encounter. His rage boiled though when he thought of him desecrating the graves of those people. They didn't deserve it. No one deserves that much disrespect after they die. No matter who they were in their life.
"I understand that trying to bring another man down is another sign of weakness or insecurity of yourself. I guess it might be due to the fact that I never really cared to know you. Yes I understand that I am a 'king' among cretins and murders, but I am not mindless. I murder to survive, but I do..." Zhu Jian licked his lips, his teeth slightly stained red, "things many don't like." Zhu Jian was wary. One of his hands shifted to his knife and rested on the hilt. He didn't want to be attacked by both of them. But judging by this Yen, he wasn't the kind that would do that if he thinks he is superior.

Rasa noted the hand straying towards the knife. He didn't know if this enemy would attempt to draw it or not, but it wasn't important. After all the reason feints were so effective is because it's very easy to to turn what was planned as a trick into a real attack. You have to take them seriously. Images played across his mind. Yes, you're absolutely right. If this plays out the way you think it will there could be some nice entertainment. Rasa grinned deviously, flicked the blade of his scythe open, let it play out a reasonable amount, then tossed it over a tree branch and began climbing his makeshift bladed rope. Once he made it to a comfortable spot he hung himself upside down again and coiled the chain into a loop. Now he was out of the way if his lord decided to make a move of his own, yet still close enough that he could react to any hostile moves.

Yen Wang stared at the man with disinteresting eyes. “You remember me, but I don’t remember you. how odd,” he said scratching the back of his head, “Again with the insecurity; don’t be so arrogant, and claiming to know me and my actions. I did not about being famous amongst murderers, like some Neanderthals, now did I?" His eyes slowly shifted his one of his hand. “I wouldn’t be so foolish, I truly hate repeating myself.”
He still waited on the man to move. If the petty thug decided that he would not listen Yen Wang’s orders. Then Yen Wang would have to find another route; one that would put the man down on his knees pleading for his life, as he knelt before the Judgment of a deity. Yen Wang was alittle displeased with rasa, "like a monkey; quick to act aggressive and even quicker to flee,“ Rasa had nothing to fear from this vagabond, so perhaps he was only repositioning himself.
Yen Wang slowly released his head and stretched moving his hands to his shoulders as he yawn. He kept a lazy eye on murderer, hoping he would defy him. Yen Wang needed to inflict pain on something.

Zhu Jian noticed the other man flipping out his scythe... Such a flashy showy weapon. Nothing that he couldn't handle. With his mix of long range and close combat, he could easily take him on one on one. They both seemed so sure of themselves, but they obviously have never fought someone with skill. Someone with a bloodlust and power like his.
"It seems that both of you are pathetic hopeless worms that need to be squashed. It's kind of sickening me just listening to your weak spineless words. If this is all that you can say, insults and empty threats and hollow actions, then the heavens forbid you to have a life. Men like the both of you are lower than shit in this world. If this is all you have to say and do, then both of you are just... disgusting. You both are weak." Zhu Jian turned, "At least I know that when I die, I'll die with my head up. You... I see both of you cowering like dogs in a corner with your tail between your legs and pissing yourselves. So... pathetic. Have a great life, because soon you both will see pain."

The imbecile turned his back on both of them and spouted words that almost made Rasa laugh. How right you are. With a flick of his wrist Rasa swung the low end of his noose out in front of his prey while simultaneously dropping out of the tree behind the man so that now there was a ring of blades loosely draped around the man's neck. "You said you would die with your head up? You'll be lucky to die with your head still attached to your body. One second. That's all it will take me to tighten that chain around your neck and you'll lose your head. You foolishly turned your back on a potential enemy and then insult them? That's the dumbest idea I've ever seen! I'd be more then happy to let you live though. I'll gladly forget all the insults you made against the two of us if you entertain me. Simply get down on your hands and knees and bark like a dog! A small price to pay for survival don't you think?"

As the ring of blades was dropped around his neck, Zhu Jian did nothing. He stood there silently, his shoulders shaking. It seemed as if he was crying. His breath were sharp intakes. But he wasn't crying, he was laughing. His laugh resonated deeply, it was dark and menacing, "Attacking a man who has no qualms with you? I believe that your lord has much more... composure and honor than one as yourself you little monkey. To attack a man with his back turned... its quite something a coward would do." Zhu Jian said laughing.
"I mean no disrespect to you, but you must be a coward. You must be trying to prove something to your master. Why else would you care so much? I am walking away to avoid confrontation, however... If you want some... Just take me on one on one. Unless... You back down. You might not though. Your master might give you a bannana." Zhu Jian said laughing loudly. His hands gripped on his knives. With a flick of his arm the knife flew back and imbeded itself in the tree behind Rasa, flying inches away from his face, "Tell me... Which do you prefer, death at range, or death up close?"

"You talk about cowards and honor. There is no honor amongst murderers, bandits and thieves. You mock me and my dear monkey repeatedly after I asked you to get out of my way. Instead I received mockery and insults," Yen Wang slowly gathered to his feet with a grin on his face, "Then you turn your back on us? How disrespectful! You have the audacity to walk in to a tiger's den, poke the tiger repeatedly then to your back on it! You are a fool, no beast would let you walk away!"
Yen Wang twirled his staff around; he was delighted, the sudden change of events went in his favor. Rasa was proving to be a wonderful asset to his cause. "I am not without mercy, I will give you a chance to submit, or die. ON YOUR KNEES WORM! Bow your head!" His eyes glanced over at Rasa, "Rasa please pull harder, but let him breathe... alittle."
He tilted his head to the side. And, turned his attention to the fool. "Apologize to me and my companion, and then squeal like a pig!" Yen Wang was to humilate him; he wouldn't be able to show his face. "I might have Rasa, spare your miserable laugh. My kindness isn't cheap."

Rasa did nothing. His lord had asked him to pull tighter, but.... his middle finger on his left hand twitched. Now you're in for it kid. Decide for yourself. You'll get no help from me. He toyed with the suggestions of both people. Certainly making an example of this guy would be entertaining, but a fight... that would really be something. His finger twitched again. "As you wish." His smile could have given hope to even the most depressed. Rasa flicked his wrists so that the chain flew up, then yanked hard on them, moving in an intricate dance that would wrap them equally about his arms. "As it seems we both have weapons suited to direct and indirect combat, how about the battle be decided using both?" Then he side stepped into a cartwheel that would bring him out of range of Yen Wang. "I've selected the weapon, that would give you the choice of how far apart we'll start."
