On Guard, Euro man.|| Self rp
A few days ago Chao, Richardo and Miguel (along with other assassins) set off on a protect and rescue mission for a captured comrade. After hours of tracking and silent following, it was finally their chance to strike.
Meanwhile as they prepare, Richardo and Miguel have devised a near perfect plan with minimal damaged and casualties that greatly reflected on their many years in training as assassin elites. But of course Chao with his elitist thinking, disregarded their 'idiocy' and 'sloppy' planning and went his own path and plan which resulted in a great number of casualties and the life of an assassin. After returning back Richardo wasn't too thrilled of the outcome to the point where he, unlike the other assassins, actually had the gall to confront Chao and finally bring him down from his high horse.
After days of tension, Chao and Richardo were both found alone together, silent and down at the training grounds. Surrounding them were dummies and training weapons fit for fifty warriors... or in this case a blundering assassin.
"Hide in plain sight..." Chao mumbled.
With a swift flick of his wrist, the assassin threw his throwing knife at the wooden dummy and missed. Richardo looked up at Chao with a raised brow questioning him as to why he was reciting the creed as the sweat from his forehead rolled down to his chin. Never the less with the tension between them he continued his training silently but still listened as he went on.
"Never compromise the Brotherhood.." Another throw and Chao had missed his target again.
The blade flew and hit the concrete wall which rang throughout the training grounds.This was an odd scenario for anyone, especially Richardo, to see of him struggling to be on point as opposed to his usual strict and sharp standards. But ever since the failed mission the Chinese Assassin had been off his game and usual pace. The man before Richardo was tired, weary and furthermore a pitiful excuse for an acclaimed 'Assassin of the East'.
"Stay your blade from the flesh of an innocent..." he continued, "Those are the three tenets we as Assassins are taught on.. correct?" Chao had stopped his training for a moment to look back at Richardo who had his back turned away from him. The hazel eyed mad said nothing and let Chao ramble on, "Hmn.. How Ironic it is, don't you think Richardo? We preach of peace and unity, yet... we commit murder and fraud to obtain it and keep order." For a short moment he dropped his shoulders and sighed. Walking over to the wall he picked up the left knives,
"You know, my mother... At a young age she was taken from her village. Thrown back into a cart with other little girls who were kidnapped and taken from their homes like live stock for butchers.." he weakly smiled and gave a small laugh "But luckily for her, unlike the other girls in the lot, she was beautiful and graceful so instead of becoming a slave... she forced into becoming a high class whore." Richardo stopped mid training and looked back at his host. Once he looked back he knew that this wasn't the same assassin as before, this man... this man before him was a broken, tried and showed signs of actual human for once in his life. Chao walked back, knives in hand and resumed training as he talked on,
"But... but I don't get it. She was innocent and pure as she could be.. she hadn't killed or hurt anyone in her life, she stayed faithful with her master and the other women of the estate....but then.. then one day she was taken away from me. You know, during the great purge of China, if I remember correctly, a..a man just about your height and stature slayed her right there in front of me; a small little boy!..... Of course I was just a small child back then and I didn't understand why or what was happening as sifu was taking me away, but no matter how much I think about it now I just--" He paused there, throwing his last and final knife. The assassin managed to lodge it in dead center of the dummy, down to the hilt. With weary eyes and a small smile he trailed off from there and looked back at the other assassin. With a deep breath and bow, Chao expressed his most undying gratitude,
"I just.... Want to thank you, Richardo... For remindeing me why joined the brotherhood in the first place; to feel welcomed and provide a brighter future to the most innocent things my life... my family." he looked up past his black hair and smiled, "as well as an apology for my actions in the last mission. You were right... I suppose."
Richardo stared at him for a moment in awe seeing his comrade smile for once and actually apologize and praise him. A small grin curled onto his face and he bowed back in respect, "你是歡迎, Chao my friend--" Suddenly the butt of a spear slapped his head. Richardo yelped in pain and looked up to Chao who had two weapons at hand. With a scowl and strict force he threw one of the spears to the Italian and scoffed, "One: Your accent is horrible, never speak to me in Chinese again. Two: Don't call me Chao, it's /Yong/ Chao. and three:--" Richardo pouted as he rubbed the back of his head expecting another insult even after the heartfelt moment they had.
Chao grinned and walked a few step backwards away from Richardo, "Your form with a spear needs a bit of work.." He then kicked the spear, twirled it around his body swiftly and expertly, executed a near perfect fighting stance and smiled,
"In guardia, Euro man."
