Preparation01[Training]

"Kensho, reveal yourself, I need your guidance."

After what felt like hours of trying to navigate the endless darkness of the temple, Kosuke finally gave in and called to the keeper of light. One minute...no answer. Two minutes...no answer. Five minutes...no answer. Frustration was beginning to set in for the soldier. Where the hell was a massive bird composed of light supposed to go in a world it could not escape?Tired feet began to move once more and although Kosuke knew for sure he was moving, he could no longer hear his own footsteps. How strange.

WOOSH! WOOSH!

There it was. From somewhere far up above the sound of wings began to beat violently. Finally big bird was showing herself. Out of instinct Kosuke craned his neck to get a look at the incoming bird, but he could see nothing. Fierce winds began to beat upon the shadowed figure of the shinigami, though he couldn't see a spec of light anywhere. What the hell was this?

Haja, this isn’t your domain, why are you here?”

A massive thud sounded just beyond the confused soldier. His head swirled with a medley of thoughts, questioning why the bird of darkness had finally shown itself in the half of the temple concealed in shadows. Eerie. Without warning a massive burst of wind blew Kosuke to his knee, though the Ryyugamine still could see nothing. ”Though we do not occupy the same space, do we not still occupy the same space?” a thunderous high pitched woman’s voice called through the shadows.

After a full century of conversing with his spirits Kosuke had grown somewhat accustomed to their contradicting speech patterns. He stayed down on his knee, answering with his head bowed to the spirit, even though the Ryuugamine himself was truly the master of this entire world. ”As the eagle of darkness it is your job to create balance in the temple of light, a symbol that light cannot exist without darkness” on the last word he rose to stand tall in front of the bird he could not see. ”The duty of the eagle of light is to bring light to this temple of darkness, she serves as a symbol that even the faintest of lights may exist within darkness.”

This much Kosuke had learned in one of his first visits to the world. Silence. Big bird didn't say a word. Whenever a bird gave silence Kosuke knew that he had answered one of their questions incorrectly. They'd give no hints or repeat themselves, leaving the shinigami on his own to answer the question. {We do not occupy the same space...do we not still occupy the same space...I asked of her domain. Of course} in his own head Kosuke had come to the answer. "Even though you don't occupy the same part of temple, both of you spirits still live here in my inner world."

"Perceptive as always young masterl. We know why you have come, we are your soul. You may begin training when you open your eyes."

{My eyes are open? Shit!} it didn't take a second for Kosuke to realize the spirit of darkness meant to brace himself. The fierce flap of an immense wing beat at the soul reaper just as he flash stepped several meters to his left, just out of the birds reach. BOOM! He could tell an explosion went off just where he had stood. Looked like it was going to be a fight then.
