*Alison sits in the court yard of Hellview Mansion sense the fight with Trent the mansion has been neglected and is over grown with nature but the structure itself still stands strong*
(Azura and Helious both suggest i train with Lloyd I have reached the peak of Human Perfection what else is there for me do they see something i don't and can Lloyd really help further my progress when i feel as though i am maxed out)
*Hundreds of Thoughts swirl in Alison's mind as she waits for Lloyd*

Lloyd heads for the courtyard of the mansion. He came from inside the mansion and made his way up to where Alison was sitting.He had a warm smile on his face as he reached where she was.He had a large duffle bag in his left hand and he placed it on the ground beside him self.
"So are you ready to get started?"
As he said this he unzipped the bag and pulled from it a perfectly sphere shaped object. It was no bigger than a golf ball. He placed it on the ground next to the bag. The bag also contained an assortment of other strange looking objects and materials. he then stood back up and looked to Alison.
"Two things i want to focus on while we train. the first is your ability to manipulate the void or as you humans call it souls. The second is to get you familiar with Anti Grim Angel Combat. Mastery of these two things will give you an even bigger edge in combat. There is a third option as well but....well lets have you get used too the first two before we get into that. "
Lloyd places his hands into his pockets before looking at the sphere he had placed on the ground. He then spoke to Alison while looking at it.
"Once you learn how to manipulate souls without the use of Dark eyes attack then you'll be able to use that object there to it's full potential. "
He awaited Alison's response before continuing any further .

*Alison stands to her feet intrigued by the object Lloyd had with him*
"Manipulate the void you say with out the dark eyes attack?
*She has a puzzled look on her face*
"Is that even possible for a human i have no idea where to start Lloyd"

Lloyd chuckles for a moment before placing his hands back into his pockets. He looks Alison in the eye and speaks to her in a more serious tone.
"Indeed, i too have been wondering if it would be even possible, however the dark eyes attack is also one of Grim Angel design. Knowing that humans can master such an ability may prove useful as we undergo this training. "
Lloyd then picks up the object and hands it to Alison.
" This is a scythe. It is a weapon Grim Angels use and it allows us to tap int various elements of the void. This particular scythe was left un-molded which means it can pretty much be anything at this point. I think this will be best suited to you as it can become any weapon in this current state. However... "
Lloyd begins to erect special glowing symbols 50ft around the two of them and suddenly souls began to make their way around the area he had erected the seals. He then walks up to Alison and smiles.
"Before you can really use that we need to figure out if you really can feel the souls around you. I have begun drawing souls near to us and all you have to do is to feel them. Think of souls as not only deceased life forms but as an infinite power surging all around us. Even the water has a soul, if you can believe it. this is due to the fact that everything all around us is part of the void. "
Lloyd then walks over to the fountain and motions Alison to take a look.
"The ones that gather here in the water may be simple enough to start with . Focus on the water and try to feel it's hidden power. It may be similar to sensing ones presence or power."
Lloyd waited to see if she could actual do it as he stood there by the fountain.
"If she actually pulls this off without a problem this will make her training smoother, if she can't however we may need to take a different approach. "

*Alison takes the orb and follows Lloyd to the fountain she inhales deeply*
(Feel the souls without the use of the dark eyes attack?)
*Alison closes her eyes trying to feel the presence of the souls but opens her eyes in frustration minutes later*
"Lloyd im sorry i can't i was trained to sense the souls of the departed only and even then the power of helious made that almost second nature. but to sense the souls of nature and other objects seems to be on another level and without using the dark eyes attack almost seems impossible"
*She grips the orb tightly*
"Is this truly my limit"

"Just as i suspected.This wont be easy."
Lloyd walks over to Alison and speaks to her in a calm manner.
"Truth is that second nature you speak of may be a good thing. The souls of the departed as you call them have a unique feeling to them. Simply try to sense something other than that.I'm sure the dark eyes attack was no walk in the park either."
Lloyd then placed his hands into his pocket before continuing.
"Give it one more shot. This time i want you to focus all your mental and physical strength into simply feeling the presence of the void around your self. Concentrate first only on the feeling and less about the seeing. Feel where they are around you. once you get that feeling i want you to draw it into your hand. call it into your palm and manifest it into visible form.
Lloyd of course had a backup plan for just in case she was unable to do it. He would use some of his power to unlock the ability to manipulate the void. He was saving this option as a last resort. He was still curious as to how powerful humans can really be.

*Alison close here eyes once again and focuses*
"The soil beneath my feet, the air around me, all things of this world are connected to the void. i must move past my physical perception of them and ascend to a higher plane of understanding and not through sight alone"
*Alison seems to be in a serene state of mind and she loosens her grip on the orb in her palm*
"I can feel it slightly a constant energy that is omnipresent"
*The orb in her palm warps slightly and only for an instant before returning to it's regular spherical form she soon opens her eyes afterward*

Lloyd took note of the partial activation of the sphere. A wicked grin soon formed on his face and as soon as Alison's eyes were open Lloyd spoke in a calm manner.
"Well done. Remember that feeling, it will serve your training well. "
Lloyd placed his left hand into his pocket and ran his right hand through his hair before continuing.
"Soon you'll be able to deflect, redirect or even cancel any attack that was cast using the voids energy. Which brings us to our next stage of training. Now that you have a feel for this new power its time to move on to deflecting. "
Lloyd's right hand begins to glow with a golden aura. A wicked smirk on his face.
"The task is simple, well relatively speaking. You simply have to focus on the energy being directed at you. Then you tap into the power, try to envision your self taking control of that energy and then redirect it away from your self.Also no worries about getting hit, the energy shouldn't kill you...although....anyway we will begin when you're ready. "

Hikura stepped into the area with a big yawn, exerting her power to make time stop in the area. Suddenly she appeared next to Alison. "Wow, you wouldn't wanna actually kill her would you? Take a look at that face of yours. And this.."
She stroked Alison's wrist gently, close to where the "scythe" was but didn't touch it. "Looks like a manifestation of your fears from earlier. Trying to make Alison do the dirty work for you? Or are you actually trying to protect her?" She stared directly at Lloyd, her own void-like eyes seeming a but cold at the moment. Well. I didn't plan to interfere but this.. After a moment a haphazard laugh escaped her lips. "I mean, it's not like you're running out of time for this threat, yknow? It's not like I haven't offered my services." Her voice carried on her manic-sounding laughter.

Lloyd almost fell into a state of fear once again as the area slowed down. Hikura spoke to him and he smiled for a moment before responding to her.
"I have nothing to fear from the likes of you.....not anymore. Even though in the back of my mind there is fear. I wouldn't hurt her .... well not to the point of death or so bad as to make her useless for the fight to come. I gave my word i would train her and thats what i'll do."
He took one step towards Hikura before continuing to speak. His right hand still glowing.
"So...are you going to actually help? or are we just going to stand around talking about it?"
Lloyd was talking in a serious manner, still trying to remain calm, though one could see that his left foot was shaking slightly. His fear of Dark Angels still lingering.

Hikura's eyes slowly broke away from Lloyd, travelling down until they rested on the Orb in Alison's hand. For a few moments they rested on it, and then she let go and shrugged, stepping back a small step.
"What to do...you're honest about that at least." Her eyes squinted- it almost seemed more like they twitched- in the direction of his leg.
"Hmm...I know!" At here last few words, everything seemed to reset back to it's position it'd been when Lloyd and Alison arrived. The differences would've been subtle. Only those with keen senses would know their sense of deja vu wasn't far from the mark.
"I suppose the only way you'll get out of this one is if your training is a success, yeah? Here are the rules. Succeed, and I'll let you both out of this loop. Lasts about 20 minutes or so before it resets, unless you two were here longer. What would I know? Hope you two didn't have any immediate plans after this." Or if something happens to Alison, before she dies, for whatever reason, it will reset. I won't tell him that though. I feel like ever since I got to see Trent again for the first time in a while, Alison's been the only one who's been relatively on the same wavelength as she was before. Or at least she's been better at hiding it. Her goals seem to be more straightforward- protecting her village. I respect that. She thought.

"Once you learn how to mani....... "
Lloyd stopped in mid sentence and he looks at his hand before turning to Alison.
"Something is wrong.....do you have a feeling like you have done this before?"
Lloyd began to look around the area as if he were looking for someone or something.

A crow sat itself on the edge of the mansion's roof, adjusting it's feathers as it watched the two with cold, beady eyes. Each time the loop occurred there would be another crow.
Hikura herself watched from the edges of Time, outside of the loop but simultaneously peering into it- harming her would be impossible. Or seeing her, for that matter. Humming to herself- inaudibly to the two within the loop- she sat against a nearby tree and plucked long pieces of grass she began to carefully intertwine together to pass time- each time one broke she started over again completely, and it seemed to take all of her concentration for this minor activity. Each time she broke one, she'd toss it and it would unravel itself completely back to where it was on the ground where she'd begin anew without picking the ones that broke.
What's nice is that every time they redo this part, she'll have a better handle on what she's doing. Like how I'm picking the stronger blades of grass here..damn. Her thoughts were interrupted when another blade tore. I wonder how far I can get? What should I make..a gift, perhaps...?
