| Marcus sent Owain to the council, he had the right documents with him allowing him to reach as far as he did. He stood outside of the Rune Knights barracks, Arthur told him he had a special someone in mind for him as a rival. From that day forth he didn't get much sleep, nor was he able to leave the town. In thrill to prove himself and to learn from the knights Owain couldn't contain himself. | |

| "Ah good you've found us" Arthur said walking past and seeing Owain was here. "How has your day treated you Owain?" Arthur asked before realizing why the young man had arrived. "Oh" he said putting his fist to his open palm in realization "You are waiting for the man I told you would be your rival aren't you!? He should be here shorly, I gave him an earlier challenge today so he will be here all warmed up." Arthur said slightly enjoying the fact that he was putting Kamaris through the ringer. | |

| "That I am. Marcus also sent me to issue a challenge with the knights. He believe I would learn a lot from defeat. But I plan to win, well maybe against my new rival. Are there other knights as well as my knightly rival? I should wait for my rival then." Owain clenched his fist, he slammed his fist to his chest, sticking his chest out. He was ready to learn. | |

| "There are others but only the commanders are here and they would not be inclined to take it easy on you." He got an idea. "But since Kamaris will have been warming up why don't you warm up with a little sword sparring action? There is indeed something to be learned in defeat and I am curious as to how well suited you are for a blade such as horn edge." Arthur said reaching behind his back to find Lady Forlorn's handle sliding it out of its sheath. "Are you opposed? or Perhaps scared? Don't be cause I'll be going real easy on you." | |

| Owain was silent for the most part, he was thinking. How could he hope to win against someone like Arthur. Owain then had a smile creep on his face, how could he forget so easily. He was going to be the hero of Fiora. "A tempting offer but no, I would rather you face me at your best. Just like how you would face my masters. I will be the hero of Fiora, and as such a hero can't sit idly." Owain right hand raised over his face, he sunk into a stance with his left hand resting on Horn-Edge. "Aye Sir Arthur, come at me with all your strength. I would disappoint." | |

| "I see, so that's why Marcus wants you to lose..." Arthur said seeing that Owain's spirit was admirable but he needed to realize the chasm of difference between his current level and that of his masters. "We'll see if you can bring it out." He said just flicking his wrist giving off a massive shockwave of pressure just to see how Owain reacted. | |

| The ground Arthur blew some chucks of rock from Arthur's shockwave. Owain with a single swift moves unsheathed his blade moving at a incredible fast speed, Arthurs shockwave was met with Owain's blade. Owain could sense the difference of power but this just wanted him to fight him even more. Owain dashed forward, he quickly shifted his weight to the right as he did a fade movement to the right, still running and keeping the speed. He dashed behind Arthur send a quick thrust. | |

| Arthur saw his movements, even smiling a bit at how if it was a real fight it would've been funny just to stick out his sword with its double the reach of Owains and let him run right into it. Instead he met Owains thrust with the tip of his own blade, stopping him in his tracks. "Come on kid, I know you have better techniques then this. Horn Edge deserves better." He said releasing the stalemate of their blade by flipping his upside down and slamming the pommel into Owains gut sending him back as Arthur flipped his blade back right side up and onto his shoulder. | |

| Owain quickly reacted as Arthur flipped the stalemate, Owain stumbled back, quickly jumping back to regain his balance. As Arthur hilt smack towards Owain's direction it was quickly met with Owain's back side of his blade to block the thrust aimed at his gut. Owain jetted to the side, his blade glowed bright red, in an instant his blade transformed. The blade gave off intense heat, using Horn-Edge he slammed it in the ground releasing a stream of fire at Arthur. Knowing the stream wouldn't stop Arthur, Owain quickly swung his sword creating many other swords with just a swipe of his sword. The swords flew at Arthur from all direction. | |

| Arthur smiled "That's a little more like it." He said deftly slashing away at the blades and wading into the stream of fire before spinning his sword in a flash creating a ripping tornado of flames spinning towards Lodin. | |

| Owain blade quickly transformed again, Owain stabbed the blade into the ground. As Arthur got near, the wind around the two created two shredding wind walls. Arthur was in between the two. As Owain was in the centered. The area around them grew dark, as violent winds took whole. Jumping from the eye of the storm, Owain blade transformed back to the heated blade. Owain sent a stream of fire to the wind walls as they quickly became a vortex of harsh fire. The combination of the two stances lead to the area becoming dry and humid. | |

| Arthur stabbed lady forlorn in the ground and held his hands out stopping the wind walls looking up at Owain through the vortex. "Such a versatile sword style. This is much more what I would expect from the wielder of Horn's Edge." Arthur smiled and let a little more of his magic power out. "Very well, 5% should suffice." He said grabbing the wind walls as if it was tangible and whipped them around with monster strength counter clockwise to the swirling winds of the storm, causing a pulsating shockwave that blew away the storm and humidity. He picked up Lady Forlorn out of the ground and sprung himself high into the sky. "Time to test out your arial ability, and this way the fortress is not in danger." He said lazily fainting a blow one way and bringing his sword back around slashing at Owain from the opposite direction at if he had four arms and two blades. | |

| Owain sword glowed an oddish red outline. Owain quickly moved his blade the direction of Arthur's direction as Horn-Edge shot a blast of red energy. The collision from the two created a cloud of smoke, sparks of lightning could be seen from the cloud, Owain swiped his sword. The cloud dispersed with a simple wave of his sword, reveling a new transformation. Owain body had lightning coil around his body. Owain moved towards Arthur with his blade in hand, using his quick movements he sent a flurry of thrusts and slashes, hidden among some of them were the red blast he showed earlier. | |

| Arthur met the moment stroke for stroke, smiling as he did so. Lady Forlorn compressing ambient lightning into blast of energy to cancel the powerful red blasts hidden within the slashes. "Yes, yes, impressive. You are indeed the rival he needs." Arthur said catch one of Owain's strokes on an upswing and sliding his hilt to Horn Edges and thrusting upward to lodge it from Owain's hands kicking him back to the ground as he caught Horn Edge and zoomed to the ground after him landing with the blades crossed around Owain's neck. "It is your loss however" Arthur said wandering if the young man would accept defeat or if his bravado and spirit wouldn't allow it to end such a way. No doubt Marcus sent him over so that he would learn to get out of a lose lose situation, but Arthur half respected Owain if he were to try and still win anyway. | |

| Owain was pinned to the ground, he quickly thought to himself. There was no way he could get out of this without probably causing damage to himself. Owain however was stubborn to losing, he slammed on the ground with his right fist, Owain quickly grabbing on to Horn-Edge, he transformed it to a slimmer form, allowing space for his head. Owain quickly kicked Arthur back, before letting Arthur recover Owain had slammed his knee into Arthur's chest. | |

| Arthur smiled wide at Owain's resolve and left Lady Forlorn in the ground to have his hands free to catch Owain's initial knee, surprised it had enough velocity to slide him back a bit and then caught the second knee before tossing Owain in the air and walking calmly to his blade grabbing it out of the ground. "Very Well, Round 2. I respect your resolve, although Marcus wouldn't be happy hehehe" | |

| Owain had a smirk on his face, he grabbed Horn-Edge from the ground. Just as he did it took a new form, the hilt of the sword was the only visible thing as the blade itself was invisible. Owain movements moved as if slow motion, Owain readied himself sinking into a firmed stance. Unknown to Arthur was hundred of blades created all pointed at his every direction ensuring no escape but the blades didn't react just yet. Owain swiftly plunged his invisible blade at Arthur's direction, with a quick swift movement the one of the blades from him had thrust at his backside. | |

| Arthur started to swing before stopping in an instant smirking. "Ah so that's what it was hehe" If he hadn't fought against Horn Edge before that move might've got him. "Wail...." He said gripping the hilt of Lady Forlorn as a shriek came from the blade, repulsing all of the blades, owain's thrust, and owain himself backwards. It was Arthurs turn to sink into a stance, holding his blade with both hands pointing towards Owain's direction. | |

| "Ugh. So powerful." Owain was pushed back his sword reverted back to it's original state. Owain took a deep breathe, trying to regain his composer. He sunk into another stance, he had one hand gripped on his blade and the other one over his face. Maybe to Arthur it seemed like he was doing the usual but this was different from his usual greetings. Owain walked at a slow start before he vanished from plain sight, using a huge burst of speed he disappeared but what was left was an afterimage of Owain. Appearing at Arthur's blind spot and striking at him from under his right rib, he was in a sunk stance, his strikes seemed infinite and yet his movements were unseen. | |

| Arthur thought to himself it was smart to attempt to attack his blind spot, but Owain must have thought it was much wider than it was. Years of training had made the blind spot miniscule. He was very impressed with his speed though and the bladework. It was with grace beyond Owain's years. "Impressive swordsmanship" He said intercepting the strokes in infinite amount, easy as if they were in slow motion. "I can sense him on the move, the warm up is over." He said slowly turning the intercepting into instead Owain keeping his attacks off as he sped up his movements and sent Owain's slashes back at him mixing in his own. | |

| Owain blade transformed back to a zig-zag shape. Owain body had lightning cover him as he dodge each of the incoming slashes, he quickly dashed back to avoid any other close slashes Arthur had in store. Horn-Edge transformed back to it's original sealed state, as it did Owain had let out a slight sigh. None of his attacks were reaching Arthur, to think Owain thought he would at least leave a mark on Arthur, he was obviously wrong. | |

| "Hehehe don't be discouraged. It's just as good as your new rival has done." He said noting the dissapointment on Owain's face. "Your swordsmanship is truly something special. I could tell when Lady Forlorn and Horn Edge clashed that it accepted you as a worthy wielder." | |

| Owain had a slight smile on his face from hearing Arthur's words. He held Horn Edge for a brief bit before quickly sheathing Horn Edge. He squeezed his wrist that held Horn Edge and cracked his knuckles. "Aye, thank you for the kind words Sir Arthur and thank you for the warm up, hopefully you weren't displeased." | |
