Leaning back on one of the larger Oaks in this forest, Creed looked up his mountain. Yes, HIS mountain, as far as he knew, he was the only person in the world that knew about it, it wasn't the biggest, but it was tall enough to almost reach some of the taller clouds. Creed stood up and cracked his back, postioned himself at the base of the mountain, and began climbing, very quickly at first, but gradually slowing down to make for the real training. He was no longer affected by the air pressure, climbing really helped. When he got to the top he sprang up onto the flat peak he had carved with his sword long ago. He had inherited his sword from his family, it had been passed down by the generation. It was considered a holy sword by all in his clan, he stole it from his house, when his parents ran away. Creed heard a rock fall down the steep sope of the mountain, it sounded larger, so it couldn't have broken off because of the air pressure...Someone else was coming. Creed sighed as he thought "Dang, and I thought this place was mine" Creed sat down and waited for the intruder to get up here, he wouldn't assume them hostile until poven.

Luko stood on the mountain doing some training. He was practicing with Saber his white tiger. It was best to train on the mountain since the Luko knew plenty of Snow jutsu. He looked at the white tiger with larger than normal fangs and fur that spiked up than laid flat. Luko patted him on the head and pointed to the boulder. "Snow Style: Shatter." Saber claws glowed blue with chakara and he knocked down the boulder. Luko watched as the rock it the bottom of the mountain echoing off the rocks. "Hmph. That was good," he said as he jumped on the tigers back and they headed up the mountain. As the tiger walked snow filled out where his paws touched. They started up the mountain quickly, but slowed the pace as Saber growled. Someone was ahead. "Huh?" Luko said. He patted the tiger and jumped down pulling of his sword off his back. He then signaled for Saber to stay close behind. Luko came face to face with a guy who he'd never seen in his entire life. "Hello," Luko said.

Creed smiled brightly at the newcomer "Hello" He stood up and dusted himself off, then extending his hand. "My name is Creed Halleigh, and you are?" Creed's voice was monotone, but could be easily considered as having happiness in it. He didn't like sounding impolite when he first met someone. He may now of known this person, and they had their sword drawn, but maybe only as a precaution...Hopefully.

Luko put his sword back. This guy didn't seem too bad. "I'm Luko Kinjiku," he said shaking Creed's hand and then releasing it. This guy didn't look like much of a loner or rogue. he wondered what village he was from. He looked back at Saber, there was no need for him to be around anymore since he was in small talk. "You can go," he said. The large white tiger growled and then turned into snow.

Creed watched the tiger turn to snow and yawned. "Nice to meet you Luko, you come up here often?" Creed let his voice relax even further to show slight exhaustion. Creed looked around at the large, flat peak of the mountin. This was truly is favorite place, it trained endurence because it was harder to breathe, and you could practice still as normal because it had no increased gravity. Long ago he had set up training dummies and he could train against his shadow if he had to.

Luko shook his head. "No this was a bit of special training," he said. He looked around him. "The mountain was the best place," he said. He gave a small shrug. "So Creed, if you don't mind me asking what village are you from," he asked. "And your rank as well."

"I'm from the storm vally, and I'm the assistant. I actually already knew your name and rank but it was common courtasy to ask for your name correct?" Crred stares off into space for a second then looked back at Luko "So what kind of special training? If you don't mind my asking ofcourse" Creed looked tiredly into Luko's eyes.

Luko went quite for a second. He though the Storm Valley had fallen years ago, but who knew it'd come back to life. He looked at Creed and gave a small shrug. "I guess it is common courtesy" He gave a shrug and then said "I was training with Saber to make him stronger. I'm a Snow specialist and he's one of my top summonings."

Creed smiled "I don't have a summoning, but I guess I should huh? It would certainly help." Creed was talking more to himself than to Luko when he said that and his voice was quiet enough to show it.
