Estela

Estela reached down, offering a hand. "Hey, you did great! We should fight again sometime!" Estela said with a grin.

"Friend, you saw what I just did to your buddy. I've got plenty more of those knives, and I don't want to waste them, but I will if you make me. Screw off, maybe say you were knocked out or something, whatever, and we can just be done here."

Intimidate. If it works, J15. If it doesn't, F18, knoif.

Mirka

Mirka wasn't sure how much damage that punch had done. It felt like it had done... too much, though, and Mirka resorted to trying to push the Major off of her - not an easy task with the shock she was experiencing.

Estela

Estela had by now recovered and, while her subordinate jostled her, the stuns were mounting. "This was a good fight! Nearly had me a couple times there! Wanna call it?" Estela asked - her fist was raised, but she did give Mirka a moment to respond before launching it.

"Then... yeah, I'll be a guardian too. I came this far, it wouldn't feel right to leave it here." Sena said. As for the wish... "Honestly, the whole teleportation part of being a guardian is kinda what I'd wish for already... being able to go anywhere is something I've always dreamed about. So beyond that... call me uncreative, but I'd like the strength to keep up with the others. If I'm going to protect people, I'm not going to be dead weight."

Steadfast Scorpion Glaive Style

The Steadfast Scorpion style was born from those who defended the initial settlements of the Zheng Mian from encroaching predators. The beasts of the jungle had a dazzling variety in form and function, some being big and slow but implacable while others were swift and small with vile venom. Those who defended the Zheng Mian needed flexibility in their weapons, and the ability to strike well beyond their foe's reach. A well made glaive allowed the precursors to the Steadfast Scorpions to slash at big beasts who would ignore wounds that would cripple lesser creatures, and wear them down over time. At the same time, the smaller creatures could be felled by a single well placed stab to a vital organ.

In it's formalized form, the Steadfast Scorpion is a style of consistency. Practicioners learn to wear down enemies with relentless strikes, using their reach to limit options and avoid retaliation, before finding an opening and ending the battle in a final stroke. The practicioners see themselves akin to the mighty river - no matter what stands in their path, they can wear it down and break through.

Some particular favored moves of the Steadfast Scorpions includes a move where, after an enemy has blocked an attack, they will wrench their glaive around and use the momentum of the spin to break their defense from the other side; a move only doable due to the intense training of the warrior monks, as in a novice's hand all this accomplishes is a slow whirl that leaves you utterly defenseless.

Environmental Proposal: The Broken Plateaus

As one leaves the jungle behind, in one direction at least, one finds the land slowly growing dry and cracked. Soon, they find themselves in the Broken Plateaus - a region in which the dominant feature is a series of ravines cris-crossing the landscape like veins of a giant stone beast. It is said that, in a friendly spar between the Gods, the Broken Plateaus were saturated with the essences of Earth and Metal. The land cracked open, revealing a treasure trove of mineral wealth beneath the surface.

The Broken Plateaus can be split into two; the plateaus themselves are roughly level with the surrounding lands, and over the years, bridges have been built to cross them and villages constructed on top of them. The plateaus are seperated by deep ravines, going well below sea level, and filled with hardy wildlife. The Zheng Mian came here for two reasons. One was to strike back against those who drove them into the jungle, who owned the region. The second was to claim a source of abundant metals, in the form of the mines that have been built into the walls of the ravines.

Zheng Mian Uniform

The Zheng Mian uniform is a simple white outfit. Woven together from jungle plants and dyed white using a flower unique to the Jungle of Light, the Zheng Mian uniform is a canvas on which the wearer's philosophy can be painted. From the baseline of a white uniform top and pants, the outfit is modified by each order of Monks to fit their order. As part of raising one's rank to a level to participate in open combat, monks go into the jungle alone, and come back with some kind of material associated with their order to be used in their personalized uniform; the Laughing Lizard monks from their oldest days to gather the fiery red venom of a monstrous lizard the size of a bull named by modern scholars as the "Zheng Mian Dragon", and use it to dye the sashes that bind their shirt together; another order might have a completely different tradition.

A magical martial artist does not need to hide on the battlefield. The Zheng Mian were driven from their original homes - the taking of the color white as theirs was a symbol that they would no longer be driven into hiding.

"Being a Guardian doesn't mean having to lose our connections with people, right? I can't just leave my brother alone all the time..." Sena still had a family to come back to - she wanted to be assured she could at the least visit. Everything was so overwhelming still, but she was confident she wanted to do what she could; if she hadn't been willing to go all the way, she'd have left with her brother.
