Janiya found herself in familiar grounds, in the streets she despised and lived at the same time. It was a secluded and empty area, one would mistake it for abandoned it was so quiet... a perfect place to practice her swordsmanship. With chi blade in hand matching the color of her fit, blue, she was twirling the handle and end of the hilt around and between her fingers without delay, occasionally striking at the air with straight jabs and linear thrusts. Deciding she earned a break, she took a breather, sitting down on the curbside with hands outstretched on the ground behind.

The vigilant knight happened to be patrolling the streets when she heard the swift sounds of violated air. A fight, perhaps? She stoodby, her ears twitching at the familiar noise. No, the lack of clashing metal told her all she needed to know.
Circling the corner, the knight approached the lonesome woman in her pristine uniform, each step filled with grace. Her right hand was planted on the pommel of her sword, and her left holding a teacup up to her mouth. After taking a sip, she stopped in front of the woman, and glanced at her sword.
"It is not practice unless you have an opponent."

Janiya looked up, acknowledging the stranger that ever so boldly approached her. Was this a mugging? She was on the streets after all... standing up, she fixed her blazer.
"You're right about that," She said with passive eyes, kicking up her energy blade with a foot. Glancing at the stranger's own sheathed blade, she smiled. "You up for a bit of sparring?" Janiya asked, a second energy blade forming in her other hand; she duel wielded and was pretty OK at it.

At the stranger's offer, Amon'i gave a little half smile.
"By all means, show me what you can do." She said simply, sliding her fingers down the hilt of her own sword, but not yet drawing it.

Janiya took a few steps back, pausing for a few moments before raising one sword up in front of her and kept the other's tip pointed to the ground at her side, diagonally. A specially made defensive form she adopted when she started her personal quest.
Her feet mimicked this approach as she kept her eyes on her opponents'. "Ladies first," Jani said, ready for an attack.

"Hmm," Amon'i hummed, setting her teacup on the ground next to her and drawing her beloved heirloom. She wielded the swordspear with just her right hand, holding it in front of her. The blade seemed to shimmer in the sun's light.
"This is for your practice, not for mine."

"I think I'm pretty in shape!" Moving forward with a pep in her step, she used the sword beside her that was in her right hand to preform a quick, vertical cut, leaving her other blade in front for an easy defensive strike.

With a quick flick of her wrist, Amon'i rotated her own blade to horizontally block the vertical strike. As the blades collided, she swung her own outward, in an attempt to disarm the woman of her sword on the backswing, and hopefully breaking her balance.

Janiya let go of the sword the swordswoman's blade was targeting letting it drop to the ground but not dissipating, taking several steps back before extending the length of the weapon she still had on hand, placing both hands on the grip. There wasn't any reason to make another sword right now.
She then rushes forward, this time preforming a horizontal swing towards the woman.

As the woman dropped the sword, Amon'i rushed at her in one swift motion, crashing down on the horizontal swing with her own vertical, in an attempt to disarm her of that sword as well! Zero Ability - Battle Dance ;; Amon’i enters her combat stance. Successful strikes with her weapon grant her a stack. Each stack gives her 5 STR, stacking infinitely. When fighting alongside Zadkiel, each of her stacks gives her 7 STR instead, and whenever either of them gain a stack of their zero ability, they both gain stacks. *Can gain one stack per post. *Must gain stacks consecutively or they begin falling off. *Stacks expire at the end of the thread.
Stacks: 1 (+5) Current STR: 33

Janiya bit her lip as she quickly let go of her sword, dashing backwards as she did so and allowing the constructs to dissipate. Obviously it was time to rethink her approach.
She re-took her defensive stance again, just like she started the bout but this time without anything in her hands. Running forward, she jumped up, bringing both of her hands down on the swordswoman. As she did, her energy blades reformed to preform a dual vertical air strike at the woman. Silently, she wondered how she'd react to a surprise like that.

Amon'i simply stoodby and watched the woman prepare her next attack. Her blades were made of energy, and therefore, not real blades. They were an extension of her, and in turn, only as strong as she was. Giving a single nod, her eyes shifted to the woman's feet as she began her approach, moving up to her hands. She was unarmed? Hah. Unfortunately, Amon'i had already seen through the attack... And, as the woman leaped into the air, Amon'i swung her sword upward, guiding it horizontally to block the skyward strikes! Zero ability reset.

Muttering, Janiya was the one taken by surprise as her blades clashed with the woman's with ferioucity. Her feet met the ground again as she kept her dual blades in place but staggered backwards. Was it just her or did it seem like she was getting weaker every clash? Her eyes locked on her opponent's hands to prepare herself for a slight of hand strike.
"Obviously not your first time..." she said, wondering how the hell she was going to get out of this. She was a defensive styled dancer. "Janiya Isgrim, hello and hi."

As it seemed her challenger had finished with her futile attacks, Amon'i lowered her blade, preparing to sheathe it. She kept her grip firm on the hilt in case she was preparing another attack in secret. It wouldn't be the first time she was attacked during an introduction.
"Amon'i Stencil," she responded, tilting her head upward as she cast her usual judgemental stare upon the woman. "I am an esteemed knight and guardian of the Embodiments from the Church of Angels."

Letting go of whatever energy she was still holding onto, the chi vanishing before it even hit the ground, Janiya crossed her arms and smiled. "Church of Angels hmm? Last time I ran into a believer they tried nuking my block in the name of God," Jani said with a half grin, knowing full well she was partly responsible for that, "Pretty relieving to see you not trying to kill me. What brings you here?"
Janiya had no reason to continue sparring with the woman, at least not right now until she recuperated.

Amon'i continued to stare at the woman. Clearly, she had no clue what the Church of Angels was, nor the prophecy that foretold the coming of the Angels and the Knights.
"As I said, I am guardian. I am here because there are things that need protection."

"You and me both, Guard," Janiya replied with a chuckle, matching her gaze with one of her own. "I'm a wanderer of sorts. I'm settling some stuff, so I'm pretty free to help you guard the guarding things. Nice fit by the way..."

"I do not need your help. However, there are others that do. This world needs more guardians if it is to survive whatever devastation rests on the horizon." She said, ignoring the compliment.

Nodding, she laughed a little before sitting down completely. "Agreed on that... but not everyone's in it for others. There's some selfish people out there..."

"And are you one of those selfish people?" she asked, raising an eyebrow curiously.
