Ein was an odd man, known for disappearing and reappearing in force unpredictably and seemingly without reason. Akin to a natural disaster, a tsunami with a huge swell then a sudden and violent recession. Yet, there were always reasons behind movements and small but distinct warnings of his coming that the smart could see.
The Hand of Fate rising again...
Stern's appearance...
Leon's not so private gathering....
There were forces moving against the small amount of order Hircine had gathered, and creating enough movement for Ein to begin moving again. He would be needed to help repel these possible attacks and he would have to move quickly to gather strength. Ein would make his presence known and would attempt to create a certain emotion in those that would oppose him. One he was very familiar with and one that had protected him very well for near as long as he could remember.
He would create at least a small amount of fear and hopefully delay them....
----------
Ein was on a march, fifty of his Genaht, armbands brandished boldly, following behind him. The remnants of those that had transferred over from Varron supplemented by afew of Hircine's own. To Ein's mind it was a perfect balance of form and function, the formation was perfect and each man held his own step, preserving a sense of individuality. There was no uniforms, excluding the piece of metal and leather and each had their own appearance. Even so the unity in purpose of palpable.
Ein's heavy boots would climb a table which afew students were sitting at, they soon scurried away under the fearsome presence of the man and his group. Ein's eyes scanned the crowd as they stared at him and the ordered mass behind him. They were apprehensive and unsure. In his mind Ein grinned at his success.
"Hircine! You are soon to be under attack. The Varronites are gathering, the old war lines burning back to the surface and they all wish to set sights upon you. Upon the order and civility of this place."
Ein's deep voice boomed, resonating as it's waves struck each and every student within earshot. It would be a spectacle even to Varronites as they had not likely heard Ein speak so in some time, if ever.
"They wish to tear it apart. I'm sure you wonder why I care. I'm a Varronite myself! That old status matter's not, I was accepted as a pillar some time back and if they do not hold me to that status now, I still hold myself to it. And I will use what strength I have to quell any problems that may erupt."
Ein saw some confusion in some and understanding in others. It was a good sign that some understood the problem and had the mind to acknowledge it. There were some good minds here.
"My strength may not be enough, the Pillars and the Captain may not be enough. More is needed and I ask for those of good Mind and Thought to join me. To join into the Genaht, who's purpose is aligned with my own. Should you Will and Thought drive you forward, step forward and we shall see if they are good enough."
At this point Ein would stand stoically, his form resembling that typical tower. His eyes watching those that could think mull the idea over in their mind while a good many other's merely talked among their friends clearly confused. It was only a matter of time before people started stepping forward.
For or against him was another question entirely.

Kurtz stood around the corner, unseen by the crowd watching the demonstration. Kurtz was paying more attention to the sound though, as that was where things truly were at the moment.
Ein spoke out, telling them of things to be wary of. It was good that he was speaking up against people who were threats to them. Even though they might not be, fostering a good amount of animosity couldn't hurt their loyalty to the system.
~Not bad....not bad at all.....I can't wait to rub this in Darren's face.~
Kurtz leaned back and closed is eyes as he kept his ears on what unfolded....all the while with a mischievous smirk on his face from his thoughts.

A disgusting sort of silence passed over the cafeteria, paralleling the almost destructive sound of Ein's voice. Steve Barzahd dropped his lunch, shifting his attention to the man that he had heard stories about from back in Varron. Ein had come to Hircine and become a pillar? It was interesting news in itself. Alkaiser stands up, points straight to Gilsin, and addresses him courageously, knowing that he was the lone voice at this point replying to the massive form that was Genaht.
"Hah! You're Ein!? Fate is amazing, bringing us together now when our paths did not cross in Varron. My name is Alkaiser, and I would have you test me! My worth will be proven!" The long-winded scream from the freshman student shattered the silence like thin ice. Chills of anticipation ran down Steve's spine, curious as to what Ein's test entailed. He knew what Gilsin's intent was, because it was something that he had just declared. Now it was just a matter of passing the challenge. There stood Steve Barzahd, waiting for any sign of life from the dark figure.
Alkaiser's mind wanders, and he begins thinking to himself "wow, those are some spiffy armbands."

"You stand, but in ignorance or good mind of such an action is yet to be seen."
Ein's eyes moved about the crowd, before settling and boring down into Steve. Ein did not know this one, he could not recall anyone even matching the description, but he missed much and he knew it. Ein didn't try too hard to know everyone that could fight decently.
Still he did try to know those that could think before acting, and not knowing this one was already a strike against him, though one he could easily recover from if he had potential.
"What do you know of the Genaht. There is more to them and to myself than what stories you may have heard. In the very least give me an intelligent speculation if you could."

"To be honest...I know nothing about Genaht." Steve decides to lower his voice a tad as he announces this fact. "All I know is power. I can see that you have it, especially after your group has survived the transfer from Varron. It is nothing short of admirable."
Truth be told, Alkaiser had heard that Genaht had quite a bit of destructive force at their disposal, and it was all being lead by this man, a lurker of sorts, Ein Gilsin. Steve realizes that he may not get a chance like this again...to confront the very man that rallys all of these fighters behind himself.
"However..." Alkaiser exclaims abruptly, "Everything I am ignorant to, I stand to learn." Steve stands tall, hoping to make up for his lack of knowledge with courage and maybe a bit of spunk. He figures the worst that could happen is being denied a chance to prove himself, in which case he'll finish his lunch and go on with his day. His stomache rumbles at the very thought.

"I won't deny there is a certain power in what we seek."
Ein smirked slightly as he studying the unwavering boy. Though to call him a boy when he stood so bravely in front of such a large group that could oppose him seemed an insult, if he was truly someone to be had.
"But the power we seek after more than not isn't physical. Finding prudent thoughts and expanding our mindsets is what our function is at it's core. Certain things expand from that."
Ein would move forward now, stepping down from the table and closing the gap between him and Steve. Ein was making this more a private affair as the boy was proving to be a man thus far. But he wasn't certain if he was a man grown or a child in a man's form.
"Tell me now, would you have any thoughts in that mind that isn't the inane rabble given at classes or directly related to a fight? Is there more to this brave being here, or has courage been founded from ignorance?"

Steve smirks, as Ein draws closer. He feels like on some level he's already achieved a bit of respect from the figure, as he now is looking eye to eye with Barzahd.
"I assure you, my courage is derived from much deeper means than that." Steve announces, as he looks around the cafeteria to see how many are watching this little show that the two are putting on. Not a single glance is averted, it seems, and they stand as the center of attention. "My courage comes from the fact that I understand how people work."
Alkaiser points loosely to his head, referencing mental skill. He smirks at his own confidence, assuring Gilsin in the process as to his prowess. "I know that none of these people here will stand as we do...because they all feel that they have something to lose...and two tall figures who stand to take it from them."
Barzahd drops his finger, and paces a bit, keeping his glance intertwined with the other man's. "But we know the truth. We know that we're all they have standing between them, and those who are truly dangerous. Those who cannot be trusted with the power they posses."
Steve stops pacing. He stops talking as well. In this moment his focus is beyond all of the onlookers, and is completely on Ein. His hand snaps up into a fist, signifying physical readiness, as he speaks the last of his speech for the time being. "So now I pose this question to you...would you deny me that ability to stand, or allow me to prove that I am so capable?"

Ein could only chuckle at the end of the speech, it wasn't bad in the least but it felt like he was trying abit hard. Still, the man obviously wasn't a fool. There was some mind there, even if it wasn't put to the best use...yet.
"I will grant that your oratory skills aren't too bad, if slightly over dramatic."
Ein's smirk would fade away as he studied the man before him. There were some factors that seemed out of place, but there were more that could prove beneficial. All that would need to be done would be to make him fall slightly more in line....
"Very well, the opprotunity shall be yours. We will see how much you can contribute."

Sedrix sneered underneath the shadow of his tainted eyes. His head was bowed. He remembered Ein from Varron, a real showman, at least this is what first impression indicates. A bizarre chap, but Sedrix could see his mallice ran deep. He did not know why. He listened to the speach on the reformation of the Genaht. How interesting, Sedrix had wanted to be a member, but never thought his skills worthy. Now he was stronger, he wanted to take the challenge.
Sedrix was disgusted at himself. The riot that broke loose a month ago was to his fault. He wanted a way to make it up to the Hiricines, the Varronites are out of order, doing anything to cause a fight, rather than subdue it. They say they just want to fit in, and stay out of trouble, Sedrix knew it was bollocks. From personal experience and observations, it made him sick.
The only word that sprung to mind was admiration. Ein impressed him. A fellow Varronite, now a pillar, and so agains the violence the Varronites cause. Sedrix felt the same way, just did not have the voice, or the command. Sedrix leant up from the wall in which he leant, now towering above the other gathered students, one of which making his way towards Ein. He knew not much of the student, but over observations his name appeard as 'Alkaiser'. He watched as he attempted to talk to Ein. Speaking of fate, how pitiful.
Ein stirred it into a more civilised, and interlectual convorsation. Sedrix began to move between students, uttering a 'Excuse me' under his breath every now and then. HE shuffled through the crowds, his size making it difficult, thought it gave chance to 'overhear' more of the convorsation between Ein, and Alkaiser.
After the long winded convorsation on the grantittude of power, and the importance of this strive, it appears Alkaiser was accepted. Good for him and all, Sedrix only hoped similar. Although, Sedrix has a frim belief in not fighting, unless for good enough reason. Prooving himself as a fighter may be difficult, if not impossible. If someone was in mortal danger, or if the Varronites were becoming more and more violent, Sedrix would fight, without a hesitation.
He would go for it anyway, hopefully this slight weakness would be more a show of character, and honour, than vulnerability, but there to hope, and to fact. It was a weakness, and a vulnerability. He sighed, and approached the two, towering over them both. Not many words were nescersary, except the obvious.
"Ein, my name is Sedrix." He outstretched one of his enormous paws for a handshake steadily, not sure if he would recieve. Tests of power often dont.

(OOC: Just so you know, Sedrix, I never actually said the spiffy armbands line. It was a thought by my character, which is why it wasn't green.)
As Alkaiser hears that he will recieve his test, he begins to think eager thoughts to himself. "Maybe this is the path to peace I've been looking for all along..." Just then, another figure approaches. A boy who introduces himself as Sedrix, not to Steve, but directly and exclusively to Ein. Instantly Steve feels a vein protrude on the side of his forehead.
"You bastard...who are you to just ignore me!?" Alkaiser inquires silently in his own mind. "Ahem." he clears his throat. Garnishing back the attention of Ein, he begins to inquire further into how they will proceed. "So how would you like me to begin the trial?"
He steps up so that he himself is now practically shoulder to shoulder with the newest addition to the conversation, as he continues his inquiry. "Rescue a hostage? Stop a terrorist gang leader?" as he looks to Sedrix, "Perhaps rid you of an annoyance of some sort?" At this last question, he allows his voice a certain degree of suggestive tone.

((ooc: My apologies, i have made the corrections))
The boy, Alkaiser, was still stood next to him, and cleared his throat in impatience. Sedrix had forgotten his manners. He turned and faced him, his fire red hair swept back in a few inch spikes. Interesting enough indeed. He said to him quietly, and politely "My Apologies, Alkaiser. I am Sedrix." He looked at him for a few moments. "A pleasure i am sure." He ended, smiling slightly, then turning back to Ein.
Alkaiser spoke next. "So how would you like me to begin the trial?". A fine question indeed. It may also apply to Sedrix, but that was yet to be foretold. He backed away slightly, allowing Ein and Alkaiser to finish their convorsation. Sedrix had indeed forgotten his manners. How shameful. He watched with quiet intent, and dignity. "Rescue a hostage? Stop a terrorist gang leader?" Alkaiser continued.
Sedrix said not a word, but in his mind thought these would be a little extreme. He continued in silence, not making much movement, his arms folded, and his head back. "Perhaps rid you of an annoyance of some sort?" Sedrix thought this may be a more ideal test, although it did not seem in the 'gehant' motives to simply threaten, or silence any minor annoyances. He thought this to himself for a second, then just waited for Ein to reply.
'If such a test is nescersary.' Sedrix thought to himself, 'This may make circumstances difficult...'. No matter of the gang, he would still go with his moral reasoning of only starting a fight if he thought duely nescesary. He would not be taken in by idle threats, or insults. He would only fight for good, for protection, and to decrease the madness that is this school.

"Strength is relative, Genaht recruits exclusively for strength of mind. You could have any attribute of the body in godly proportions, without the use of the mind it is worthless. Your trial will come when it will."
Ein's attention turned to Sedrix, Shaking the hand firmly. It wasn't often he was found with someone actually taller and broader than himself and the size impressed him. Still there were many that could be the size without the mind, the question was did this one have the mind.
"You approach with a name, but without stating reason. You come forward and I wonder what thoughts stir within your skull. Speak to me so I might know more."
Ein's eyes would focus on Sedrix, his peripheral solidly on Steve. The mind already percieved a small jealous streak in the smaller man, but such things were easily weeded out through thought.

"Strength is relative, Genaht recruits exclusively for strength of mind. You could have any attribute of the body in godly proportions, without the use of the mind it is worthless. Your trial will come when it will." Sedrix listened, without a word, allowing Alkaiser to finish his convorsation with Ein. After this short statement, Eins focus turned onto Sedrix, as he shook his hand firmly.
'A good handshake...' Sedrix thought. He knew for fact a good handshake was a good sign of character, although he did not know too much, so did not press it. "You approach with a name, but without stating reason. You come forward and I wonder what thoughts stir within your skull. Speak to me so I might know more." As prophicaic as this was itterated, Sedrix understood, he questioned motives.
"How to explain..." Sedrix thought, pushing away his bangs to reveal his deep blue eyes. "I came to this school, i am a Varronite. Everyone said to stay out of trouble, so thats what i did. I did not fight, for months. I would take beatings, with no notice. Although, it seemed some of my comrades did not do as such. They started fights. My idiotic brain takes in too much rage, and betrayel, that i ended up attacking several Hiricine students, leading to the cause of the riot."
He hoped his honesty would act as an inscentive rather than a burden. He did start the riot, but he also felt great regret, and did not want to do it again. "I feel i owe something to the community, i want to help." Sedrix continued after a small pause. "I want to help this school become a comunity, a unit. Whether this means fighting or not, i want to try." He ended, his voice becoming ever more quieter towards the end of his statement.
He could only really hope that Ein did not take his statement the wrong way, and that he realised Sedrix did honestly want to help. Though he caused the riot, he is here to set things right. Thats as simple as it can be boiled down too.

"The question is, do you wish to join me because of regret of your actions or because you believe this system is the correct one?"
Ein's question would be somewhat shattering to Sedrix's statement. His small speech did give a few reasons as to why he wanted to join the Genaht. Even as to why he would stand with the school and fight, but it didn't give a motive.
Ein would need to know what the man's motive was. If he acted almost purely out of an emotion, it was certain Ein would deny him. Ein didn't need the idealist and emotional types that were more often than not drawn to Loire's group. Such a person was an excessive liability. Instead Ein required thought and belief. He needed the mind and the body it commanded, he didn't need Emotions commanding the mind.

"The question is, do you wish to join me because of regret of your actions or because you believe this system is the correct one?"
These words tore up Sedrix's speech of hopeful impressing. He sighed and stayed silent for a moment, Gilsin has overpowered him on the interlectual side, singleing the weakness, the flaw in his plan. Although Sedrix but needed to think about it, for there were two answers, as spoken a few seconds later.
"I am afraid my answer is aggrovating at best, but both is speaking the truth. Yes i feel i owe something, probably our of regret, remorse. But i also agree with the system you have presented, with the other pillars as well. As i said, right now, this school is in madness." Sedrix finished, he hoped this had explained everything. He could not put on a more honest tone, as he was being completely truthful in his words.

"You'll be taken, but you'll mind your emotion. Thought is required in excess and while emotion has it's uses, consideration should be put into it's appearance...."
Ein frowned slightly, he wasn't sure about the man, but size and strength were crucial. The mind could be molded and taught, the body could only grow so far within it's natural confines.
The mind stirred and Ein's eyes looked amoung the crowd, they were cowed but not entirely impressed it would seem. An unfortunate thing, and yet there didn't seem to be much more use to be found in them.
"You two may fall in with the group and order disperse. There is no more to accomplish here and we are losing much time."

"You'll be taken, but you'll mind your emotion. Thought is required in excess and while emotion has it's uses, consideration should be put into it's appearance...." Sedrix could say nothing more, he was right. That was it. He simply nodded, and folded his arms.
"You two may fall in with the group and order disperse. There is no more to accomplish here and we are losing much time." We are loosing much time? As curious as Sedrix was, he obayed, and turned around to the crowd, with Alkaiser just behind him. He looked left and right, intimidating, and uttering a short "Get outa here." Quietly.
She thought to himself, he was now a member of the Gehant, but it seemed Ein did not trust him, it was clear. He would need to lie low, unless oppertunity arose for an act of good deed. He thought about Ein's speech, and his closing statement. What did he mean "We are loosing much time." Suspicious indeed, at least in Sedrix's mind.
