Tamir's Sanctuary is located just south of Tolas. The building resembles a small, church, one that was used before people began worshiping dragons. Not that many people worshiped anything before that, which is why this place was abandoned. Just on the outside of the large door a sign was posted. "All those who enter pay heed. You most likely will not live to see the light of day again. Come if you feel worthy." Inside is warmly lit, with torches along the walls, and pillars. It is a bare place though, not very many objects about. Along the far wall, is a case of many different weapons, from daggers to broadswords. The center of the room, has been cleared out, for sparing, and training with weapons. The walls to the left and right are bare, with the exception of the torches. The ground is not padded, just a plain hard wood, that has been stained by blood of the unworthy.

Ren opened the locked door and took a seat at the very back of the building, where he waited.

In the soft midnight wind, Yamiko's dress gracefully waved, and her long black hair moved about. Walking inside, the light from the torches lit her face with a light yellow glow, although she still looked almost as a ghost with her quick graceful steps. Seeing Ren, she stopped and bowed, awaiting orders or instructions.

"Attack." Was all he said.

She tossed the sheath of her father's knife out of the capelet with great speed, it hit against one of the torches on the wall dead-on, bringing it down to the floor and making things dimmer as the bits of coal and fire simmered out. Falling back into the corner against the wall with the weapons, she immediately pulled five daggers and stabbed them through the lining of her capelet for easy access. Running low the ground, as she had to learn how to do to escape when people often mistook her for having far more things of value than she owned, she ran straight at Ren then moved quickly to the side in a dark corner, tossing at him the tip of a broken dagger she saw on the floor while running at him a second earlier.

Ren appeared to just sit there motionless. He was watching every move she made, and some of it intrigued him. By the time she threw the piece of dagger that she found he was already gone. The door was open and the wind blew out the candles, leaving the room pitch black, with the slight exception of the moonlight coming though the door and windows. "Come on, attack me already." His voice seemed to echo, which made it difficult to pin point his location.

Darkness, confusion... I need to remember the layout of this room. She kept her eyes open. Yamiko could see vaguely, there were a few shapes of dark grey among the black, but then, feeling this would became a pointless sense to keep, she closed her eyes. Pulling out a dagger, she knew it all came down to instincts now. Her mind clear from all thought, she felt a presence suddenly just feet away from her and keeping the dagger close to her body, used the corner to quickly push herself in that direction, also so she could understand how far away from the corner she was.

Ren laughed, which echoed from a different side of the room. "Yes use your senses, let yourself go, become one with your surroundings." By now Ren had drawn both his daggers, waiting for the right time to strike.

She heard her shoulder brush against the wall, her feet against the floor, the empty wind that sounded like the inside of a shell, and the sound of metal. Her heart pounding a bit, Yamiko breathed out silently. This room is stone and wood. It doesn't matter how much sound I make, he already knows where I am now... She felt the wind blow some of the hair over her face, and put her hand against the cold wall. Yamiko knew if she could find where he was and move quick enough, everything would go smoothly. Taking a step forward, she crossed herself and placed both her hands over her face, then moved her arms out. She stood in the center of the room, in a very very vulnerable position, but, now the room was becoming clear to her, and she listened for his heartbeat. Slowly moving her hands together, she clapped slowly, at the same rythem as his pulse for just a second. Then, it suddenly came to her and her eyes opened, and she tossed out three of her daggers to the general area of which she knew now he was.

Ren was seriously impressed by her technique, but he understood what she was doing. At the very last possible second, he rolled forward out of the way, and lept towards her, tackling her to the ground, pinning her. "Remarkable. You show much promise." Ren hesitated momentary before getting up and reigniting the lights. Too bad she wants this kind of life, shes attractive, she could have anything else she wanted.

She layed still for a moment, then sighed out, she shook slightly for just a moment. Sitting up, Yamiko put her hand below the hair that covered her face and moved it out of the way. Standing up, she looked over to Ren, almost not being able to believe what he had said. Remarkable...? I had no idea.... Suddenly, she started laughing a bit happily, and covered her mouth to try to stop it. Yamiko had not laughed since she was a child.

Ren smirked, his back still turned to her. "Uh, if you don't mind would you relight the other side of the room? It would go faster." He continued, slowly working his way along the wall.

Standing up, she ran and quickly took a torch, a smile, her naturally pink lips hidden by black lipstick, appeared in the light before she moved away and did as he asked.

Ren made his way long the wall, until he was right next to Yamiko. "I'm sorry, but I have to ask. Why does such an attractive young woman want to learn this trade, I know the things that happened in your past, but still, there are so many things you could do other then this." Ren smiled kindly down at her, thinking she was very attractive, which isn't a thought that comes across at all for him. He was always about work.
