"The Owl? Ah yes, you're that LIF operative that General Kolov so wanted dead. What ever did you do to make him so angry?"

"Tried to kill him. Tepes dies hard though."

"Tepes? I have not heard that General Kolov went by any other name."

"Of course you haven't. Vladimer Tepes. Known in the west, as Vlad the Impalier. You worked for Dracula, samurai."

My eyes flash.
"Really now? I really should see to... eliminating such a stain from my record of employment."

"How very noble." Peter looks at the rock, draws back, and lands a massive punch into the dent he formed. The rock shakes violently and a massive rent splits it down the center. "I grew tired of that. I need a partner."

"A training partner? I am currently unoccupied. If you wish I will spar with you."

Peter looks Iltanesh up and down. "You seem to be well trained, for your limitations. But I do not believe that a human would make an effective sparring partner for my purposes."

"You make a dangerous mistake if you think me a mere human."

"As you wish then. Shall I assume you would be best suited for training with the blade rather than hands?"

"Yes. If you wish, I can use a sakabatou."

Peter raises his right hand. White fire envelopes his hand and when he closes his fingers into a fist, a blade of shimmering white steel, surrounded by whirling white flames. "Use what you like."

I nod and extend my hand outward. A gate appears and I remove my daisho and put it through, withdrawing another daisho, which I strap to my belt.
The gate closes and I turn to face Peter, and kami begin to gather around me, the air seething with spiritual energy. My body begins to glow with blue flame as I focus my ki in preparation for the fight.

Peter tilts his head, "Unexpected. Curious meeting of extremes. This will make interesting data." No aura surrounds Peter, save for the white fire of his sword. The Hunter is as calm and motionless as a stone, and just as lifeless. "Then we begin." Peter leaps forwards, striking quickly for the center of Iltanesh's defense.

A ripple seems to appear as my hands seem to shift positions instantaneously. Channeling the kami of wind and time, my hand moves from where it was and unsheathes my sakabatou at blinding speed. I unleash an iaijutsu strike, my blade emerging from it's sheathe and slashing in a wide arc that should deflect Peter's strike, and possibly strike him and knock him backwards, depending on how well he manages to dodge.
