Tenkei is sitting in a large field, surrounding the field is a large forest. Tenkei himself made this clearing completely away from the general public so he could mediate and train without causing any disruptions in the lives of any passerbyers. He sat there Indian style, his black sword CenterStrike placed into the ground about five feet in front of him. On his back you could see large five foot black, bat wings. Swaying in the light breeze of the day.<br/><br/>"As I walk through the valleys of the shadows and death, I shall fear no evil" He chanted to himself, this was a common ritual Tenkei embarked on in order to remain in control of his Demon Possessor, which constantly threatened to take him over. But this session was different, this time Tenkei was on the search of a rumored skill he had heard about.<br/><br/>His eyes glowed black, his skin even deepened in tone. Ten feet behind CenterStrike, a bright red pentagram appeared on the floor, spinning clockwise for a brief period it stopped and began to glow into the ground. Out from the seal erupted a large gate, the wood being a dark red color and the handles and hinges were made out off a black wrought iron. All the green around the gate began to go grey as the life energy was being forcibly sucked from it, trees and bushes began to drop leaves and shrink in size.<br/><br/>Tenkei stood up and began to walk towards the gate, pulling the sword from the ground on his way past it. The door opened slowly as he approached it, the smell of sulfur and death would be evident in the air as the door opened. He entered the door as it shut behind up and disappearing back into the ground, but the bright red pentagram remained on the ground, spinning in its clockwise motion.<br/><br/>Tenkei continued to walk towards the light at the end of a very dark tunnel, the same one that was famously known to people who almost had there run ins with death, and escaped. As he walked through the light, the sight before him was gruesome, he was literally in the underworld. Hordes of demons were visible fighting each other and torturing the souls of the wicked, who were cursed to this awful place for all of time. But this sight didn't phase Tenkei at all, this wasn't his first time in this dammed place, and it wasn't going to be his last. As he walked, the demons seemed to back away from him, giving him room to walk. Some might say that they were were bowing before him, for the demons didn't see Tenkei the human, but they did see Apollyon king of the underworld.<br/><br/>He walked through all the chaos, stepping now and then into a pile of bones and sulfur. He turned and saw the one figure who could quell his desire for the rumored power that he had heard of. A agent of Hades himself, placed between the worlds of the living and the dead, forced to do the bidding of the God. He sat there on his pile of bones he turned into a throne of some sort, standing at 6'5 his head was covered in bright red flames, the Ghost Rider.<br/><br/>"Why have you come here" The agent asked, you could hear the souls of thousands behind his force, a sound of pure terror. Tenkei stood there tall, he could feel the force of Apollyon behind him "I've come to quell a rumor I've heard, and I rather come to the source" he said in almost a demonic growl. The Ghost Rider chuckled "And how may I help the king today?" "I want to know about the 'Pensive Stare'" he said without missing a beat. The Rider looked at him with a curious look, and stood up from his throne. He spoke once more, the league of burning souls behind his voice "It is true, Hades has granted me with this gift, I am able to stare into the souls of the wicked and turn every bad thing they've ever done against them." It was clear in his voice that the agent didn't enjoy revealing his greatest gift, but he still had to answer to the king of the realm for which he worked. "I wish to learn it" Tenkei said, his black eyes staring into the eyes of the Ghost Rider.<br/><br/>In an effort to defy his request, the Ghost Rider unwrapped his chain covered in flames at Tenkei. Tenkei knowing that this was going to happen was ready for it, he jumped to the side avoiding the chain. He used his Shunpo to pick up speed and appear right in front of the Ghost Rider, planting his foot right into his chest. Using his Demonic strength, he kicked the Rider so hard that he flew through his bone throne. In a flash Tenkei appeared on top of him, his sword at the bone neck of the Rider. The bright red flames around his head began to turn blue, Tenkei stared into his eyes once more. A small flame appearing where his iris's used to be, Tenkei spoke "you will teach me." The Rider remained still for a second and agreed, as Tenkei got off him he got up.<br/><br/>The Rider placed on finger on Tenkei's forehead, and muttered something in a completely foreign language. A green light in the form of a seal appeared on Tenkei's forehead, he fell to his knees as it burned. The Rider watched Tenkei as it burned, his eyes never wandering. Tenkei stood up a moment later, his eyes has taken a different form. Instead of the solid colors that they usually presented, they were red with one black iris in the middle, four tomoe were visible surrounding the iris spinning in a clockwise motion. Tenkei laughed, his voice was dark and demonic. The Rider spoke "You now have the Pensive Stare, you can stare into the souls of the wicked and turn all the pain they've caused in there life against them. But be very careful my king, for with this power you can lose yourself, for you too can see all the wrong they have done." Tenkei nodded at the rider and took his way back to the door.<br/><br/>Finally, the power he had heard of was more then a rumor. He could feel this new presence in his very being, but he was going to be very careful with it. Seeing all the wrong that someone had done, should prove to provide a great mental strain.  Tenkei reached the door and walked back through it, back into the living world. As he walked the gate disappeared behind him, the pentagram also disappearing. But the smell of death and sulfur lingered, remaining proof of Tenkei's venture into the underworld.
