| Background from Where the Love Lies Dead |
| Seven years passed and the young fifteen year old Rache was now a young woman in her early twenties. Throughout the years Redseer trained her nonstop, every waking breath she was training in some sort of form that she would use in the arenas. As her battling skills and fame among the Kiros increased, her freedom decreased. She now wore spiked colors around her ankles, wrists, and neck. It was rumored among the public that the collars that the trainers made their slaves wear were electric, this was mostly a lie but for Rache it was true. She had slain a many Kiros and humans, in and out of the arenas and this called for saftey measures as well as a way to control a killer. Redseer had his father search out the brightest minds in the land of Savest and they were able to find a way to electrify the collars that now bind Rache. Using his mind Redseer was able to increase her training by double, for whenever she would refuse the shock would change her mind. Instead of using the wins to pay for evolution on himself, he used the evolutions on Rache. A thing like this was rare, yet with the passing time it was becoming more and more common. Whenever a human had an evolution for battle they were now referred to as "changed". One of the first things he had done to Rache was removing certain feelings, feelings like: remorse, sorrow, depression, love. He then went with the DNA changing, he adjusted her strength so that she would be able to wield great weapons with ease. Redseer had to wait a few months to continue with the evolving since her had used up the wins, when Rache won more fights he continued. He then added abilities, one of his favorites was when she would draw blood from anyone or anything she would have to spread it upon her skin and would then absorb it; instantly gaining the opponents abilities. Through this power, Rache was able to gain several god like power that would help her later in life. Another favored ability was shadow and regenerate. Shadow allowed Rache to quickly become a shadow which had helped her in slaying several of her opponents. Regenerate allowed her to heal in the blink of an eye, what Rache had learned and kept hidden from Redseer was that it even brought her back from the dead. "So who is next to fight me and die?" asked Rache as she and Redseer walked down a tunnel which lead to the arenas where she would fight in the next match. "I do not know his name of your opponent, but the trainer is Ice; my half-brother. No doubt that this will be hard, but don't underestimate them. Ice still hates me for breaking his horn all those years ago" replied Redseer as he stopped for he could go no further; he would have to revert to the stands to see the fight. "Would you care for the matching horn as a souvenir?" asked Rache as she entered the battlegrounds and a large metal gate slid down from above trapping her inside the grounds till the fight ended. Redseer turned and quickly hurried to his spot in the stands before the fight started. The ground was nothing but stone, there was no sand or the usual soft dirt anywhere. "Hmm, most likely they'll have something to do with hiding since I can't use footprints to find them" said Rache out load as she swung around her Seeker and loaded it with an arrow that glowed a bright purple. She then fired and the arrow began to zig-zag around till it imbedded itself into her opponent. It was as she suspected, her opponent was invisible. She lowered the bow as she made her way to the center of the ground, her opponent met her there. "Hello love" said the voice as an invisible hand yanked out the arrow from the man's leg. "I believe this is yours" he added in a British accented voice as he held out the arrow. As Rache reached for the arrow she saw a flash of light, she jerked her arm back and there floated a dagger. "My pet, you're quicker than I thought. Since the judge isn't here yet, I might as well introduce myself. I am Jack the invisible" he said as the dagger flipped out of sight, Rache then snatched the arrow and sheathed it. "I am Rache, the last name you'll ever be hearing" she hissed as she used her right boot to scratch her left, she then half smiled when she felt her .22 hidden away. "Whoa, whoa, whoa. This isn't a death match, it's...well I'm not sure what kind it is us I know it's not the kind where one of us dies" said Jack quickly as he circled her. "I hear the slap of your feet on the rock, which means you are shoeless and then that must mean..." drifted off Rache as a demonic grin crossed her face. "Yes my pet, I am nude. I wouldn't have to be if my master would pay for the expansion that lets me where clothes and still be invisible. But he spent my wins on iron skin" finished Jack who quickly gasped for he had given away his edge in the fight. "Iron skin, well now lets hope that you don't rust" hissed Rache as she hatched a plan inside her head. "Ice...no...snow..cold.. footprints....yes...freezing...claws...grip rocks....shatter rocks.... find Jack...kill Jack" thought Rache, she shook her head. Usually her thoughts were more organized. "He must have another ability that he didn't mention, one that must mess with the mind. But then how am I thinking clearly now, he's trying to confuse me" Rache then uttered a now hiss as the last judge entered the stands and uttered a bellow that started the fight. |
