Dreamcraft Armory: An ability to call her own.

Warrior of Dream

It was a couple of days after the time she and Toki Iramasha intercepted a demon named, Eric Zarathos. Thinking back then, Hanako can remember the encounter she had with a new kind of demon that she is unfamiliar with as she fought it with no success to even whisper about until Toki's light intervened. Though the problem has passed, the concern that she has about the spell that tossed her into darkness to fight a demon. Furthermore were the voices that spoke in her head. Who said these things, where they came from, and why the rune-stone would be important to Zarathos?

Hanako looks around the town as she treks her way to the training hall in the morning. Yesterday after her encounter, she sent a letter to her great grandmother-in-law, Misaiko Sugiura to tell her that she is invited to the Iramasha Island to meet with her in the training hall. The request was for Misaiko to help her with getting lessons on swordsmanship since Hanako needs proper training in using bladed weapons instead of having to rely on her martial arts as a platform. She stops at the entranceway to the training hall and takes a breath, knowing that if she has to fight enemies that her fists cannot touch, she should develop some kind of a technique with magical weapons that are able to do so; with luck, she should develop a way to overcome this problem for the next time she should fall under that spell again. She enters the training hall’s entranceway, progressing to what she feels to be a new chapter for her to begin with.

As she enters the training hall, she can see that the guards and candidates are hard at work to improve their combat and physical prowess. In all honesty, Hanako has not been in the training hall before as she looks dumbfounded by the sheer size of the place. Literally the place can carry it own battlefield, thus making any fighting or team battle competition look more like a war game. Since it is early, Hanako would expect it to be a while before her grandmother-in-law could arrive. with a backpack full of bottled water and healthy snacks, Hanako is prepared to do some light warm-ups before Misaiko arrives; so she places the pack on the bench and proceeds to a safe spot for her to stretch out and warm-up.

Hanako drops down to her front side as her arms are positioned and bent like a lizard, readying herself for some push-ups. Her body is straight as a board as she pushes herself up and somewhat slowly lets herself down. Her toes supported her feet as her heels are kept off the ground. Up and down, up and down, Hanako disciplines her arms and shoulders. After a while, she rolls onto her back.

Hanako crosses her arms across her chest as she bends her legs so her feet can lay flat on the ground. Ready for a couple sit-ups, Hanako heaves herself up without moving her legs. The discipline was for her midsection and spine as she lowers herself back down. Up and down, up and down, the routine was repetitive, but necessary if she is going to stay limber for training. After a while, Hanako retracts her legs and thrusts forward, launching herself off the ground and landing onto her feet before standing up.

Hanako walks to the wall behind the benches and places her right foot onto it. She then reaches for her toes as hard as she can, stretching and softening her hips, so she can kick higher or bend more. Hanako does this five times before switching feet. She then does additional five times of reaching her toes with her outstretched leg as her resistance. She then lowers her leg and steps away from the wall before she raises her arms high to the ceiling, stretching it with her fingers entwined with each other to keep her arms paralleled.

Hanako arches back during the stretch to loosen up her back and add more stretch to her arms, shoulders and fingers. With a petite grunt, Hanako lowers her arms outward like a pair of wings before they reach her thighs. She places her hands on her hips and tilts her upper body to the right, then to the left. Then she lowers herself with her right leg stretched outward and her left leg bent. She then does the same with her left leg stretched and her right leg bent before straightening herself and sit down at the bench, next to her backpack.

When her contact, Misaiko arrives, Hanako can be found on the bench about a hundred-eighty inches forward from the doorway into the main room. Upon meeting, Hanako stands up and bows to Misaiko with respect, "Your majesty, thank you for receiving my letter." Hanako then stands straight with her stance sturdy and strong, a trait that is usually shared among Westerners and Japanese people who are adopted into the European or US American heritage. "I hope it was not inconvenient to you that I sent a vague request on a short notice. It is just something I realized I need to acquire a skill to fight what I cannot touch with my hands and feet." The sound that Hanako speaks seems concerning about something she recently discovered and as for "something that cannot be touched" was also hints with a mystery.
