Welcome to Gaia! ::

On the outskirts of Hogsmeade across from the train station, an old brick warehouse had been renovated and restored. A painted sign creaks in the wind as it hangs out front and reads "Blaze of Glory: Dueling Range." Upon entrance, one finds themselves in a dimly lit foyer, directly ahead is a mahogany desk and decorated on the walls to the left are all the different dummies and targets that can be used. On the right, are various doors. One leads outside to the field, another leads to the four bedroom simulation area, and the other leads to a row of dueling strips separated by high, thick walls.

Receptionist: Takes payment, assists customers, helps setting up and closing down shop each day.
Trainer: Offers lessons and training to customers

William, appearing in Hogsmeade roughly about fifteen minutes ago, found no difficulty in finding the building. The building had a distinct shape and color so it really wasn't hard to find. Belle always did go for the pop out factor. He walked through the threshold, smiling as he saw Belle. Looking around, he surveyed the building. It was very good. The atmosphere was great. The organization was there. All the little things found in a business was there. He really looked forward to seeing this place succeed.

"Hmm...Blaze of Glory. That's a nice name. I like this. I like this a lot," he said, walking up to her and wrapping his arms around her waist. He kissed her and kept her in his arms for a bit. "I missed you Belles," he said, a genuine smile written on his face. "I'm glad you invited me out here. I was going to come anyway. I wanted to check out where I'm going to be investing in." William had money and he was going to help however he could.

"It turned out quite brilliant. It's about time someone opened another Dueling Range. Ever since Murdoch's closed, I don't think anyone has had a chance to practice at all," he said, smiling at her brightly. Today had most likely been the first day that he has smiled in at least a month. He could never bring himself to smile, but he could now, because he knew that his fiance? was happy. He loved her so he always smiled when he was around her, nor did he find it hard to smile when she was this close to him. He loved how she always rested her head on his shoulder, because it made him feel just...great, that he knew the girl of his dreams was in his arms, at that very moment. He tightened his grip a bit at the thought, but made sure it wasn't too tight.

"Don't worry about when you pay me back. I never said a deadline date; mostly because I thought this would be our perfect compromise," he told her, laughing at her mainly because he knew she was about to give him that face of pure playful disgust that she always gave him after he had said something smart.

"Alright, then I'll probably be bringing some things over here in the next couple days. Why don't we do that next? Let's go get you unpacked and settled in. I figure it'll give us sometime to be together and you can tell me how your year went," he said, kissing her cheek finally and hoping she would lead him to her loft.

Entering the old warehouse door Ronyo smiled seeing the place. It was well designed and decorated for the theme of the place and helped bring one into the mindset of dueling. The target dummies that were over the large desk helped give some idea of what you would be facing in the rings. Finding a sign that showed the lessons and services offered along with prices the white haired detective smiled more. It was good to see Belle following her heart after she graduated, for a time there the old Slytherin worried his former Seeker would give in to the pressures of her blood line and family to simple do as a woman of her station was "suppose" to do.

Ronyo had a lot on his mind with the recent developments in the case. Eretria's brother had been sighted, at the masked ball of all places. He escaped unharmed but the curious part was that he was seen at all. If he was at a place like the circus and the masked dance then it meant he was not being held against his will or unfit to travel. That meant he was in hiding, or some odd manner of hiding that allowed him to be seen in a large public event. Ronyo wished to tell Eretria the news but he needed to do some extra investigating as well. His source gave him the details of a young female student who seemed taken by the mystery man. The girl was a good friend to Michelle which Ronyo hoped gave him a way in to speak with the girl about the young man's whereabouts.

It was a lot to go over which had brought Ronyo here. At school he could simply go to the stone circle and practice his dueling and martial arts but he no longer had access to the stone circle. With Belle opening up her dueling business Ronyo hoped it might become a regular location for him to visit to help clear his mind and focus his skills. A bag was slung over his shoulder, filled with work out gear to change into once he picked his ring. Honestly to him the Bull's-eye Accuracy, Practical Dueling, Field Target, and the Auror Challenge all sounded good. Sounded like a good way to start out his time here.

"Hello, I hear the Queen of Dueling run this place," Ronyo grinned hopping to get a good smile out of his old friend with his comment.

His detective's eye followed the pile of color swatches and the bored look on his old teammates face. She was still planning for that wedding of hers, it seemed like she was always planning for it whenever he saw her. Her smile to him looked like the first she had cracked in a few hours, likely the same amount of time she had been looking over those color options. Ronyo removed his hat and chuckled a bit at the woman's eagerness to either see a familiar face or a customer.

"Good to see you to Belle, how's the cousin of yours? Still knocking people off brooms and forgetting when he's off the pitch?" Dom was always a bit eager to fight, if the boy didn't have a few less than admirable traits he would have been a good candidate for a Chimera, "I was thinking of starting off with that Auror challenge of yours, see how I stack up to the big leagues," A wink showed his feelings on that idea, as good as the Aurors were they still held back too much, "maybe try out a few of these rooms actually, it's been awhile sense I practiced really," His smile dropped just a bit as moved the subject along, "Those goons at the circus maybe me realize I need to sharpen back up. I have a feeling we will be seeing them again," Ronyo tossed a small bag full of thirty galleons to the blonde snitch catcher, "Let me know when that runs out. I'll take a break and maybe help you with some of those wedding plans. I'm a detective now so helping people with their problems is my full time business now."

Ronyo grinned as Belle spoke about Dom, although with a small pause to indicate something else going on. Ronyo knew Dom to be a hot tempered young man so there was a small amount of worry that Ronyo's old fellow Beater had gotten into something deep. Still Belle moved past the point and grinned as Ronyo set up to start the first of the challenges his coin would buy. The Auror Challenge. As Belle unlocked the door and moved off to deal with her own matters Ronyo walked off to the side and dropped his bag.

Opening it up the white haired detective pulled out a pair of boots and a white cotton shirt. Quickly Ronyo removed his vest and button down shirt, folding them and placing them on top of his bag so they did not get dirty. For the brief moment his bare chest was visible it was clear that while the former Slytherin may not have had a lot of time to practice his dueling, he had occupied his time with physical exercise and training. His chest and abs were toned from high cardio workouts and his upper arms looked like small tightly wrapped cords. The cotton short went on and after a quick change into the boots as well Ronyo was ready to go. The wizard had also placed his old behind the back wand holsters on in place of his under the arm ones typically worn by the man. With a crack of his neck and knuckles the white haired detective walked in with a smile to the foyer.

Entering the room Ronyo looked around as he bent his knees and moved his hands gently in the air, his fingers rubbing together ever so slightly. A criminal target popped up and fired a spell off from behind, with a side long roll the Detective was up and his wands came to his hands instantly, a hint at his wandless magic skills. A snap of his Ash wand sent a stunning spell out and knocking the dummy down and out. Several more targets popped up, some civilians but most criminal in this room. Spins, rolls, and quick steps put Ronyo in line or out of the way where needed, and quick snaps from both hands sent spells flying out to crash into the bad targets.

Entering the next room Ronyo rolled in expecting a quick attack that came in the form of two quick popping dummies firing at him. Ronyo was up from his roll and pushing off the ground as his wands snapped out and lit up with electricity as the detective spoke the incantations for his lightning blade spell. The wands slashed out like short swords slashing the targets heads clean off and then going dark as the spell was ended after only the initial slash. The targets came quicker this time and with more frequency in the civilian dummies making a show. The former Slytherin did not stop in his motion however knowing that he needed to press himself even under the challenging encounter. Sharp motions of his wands flicked out spell after spell colliding with the targets, a few times several in rapid succession on the same target for good measure.

The third room Ronyo opened but stayed on the other side until he noticed the three targets appear. Two criminal hiding behind a single civilian. A pop had Ronyo vanishing from his spot and appearing just behind the criminal dummies, wands pointed at each ones head and firing off a spell at close range without missing a beat. Another set of hostage taking dummies appeared and again Ronyo vanished and appeared around the room at various spots to avoid being hit or get closer. At times the detective appeared right in front of the target his wand glowing with the electrical energy of his lightning blade already stabbing through the target upon apparition. Ronyo vanished as quickly as he could trying to match the quicker tempo starting by the dummies. A few splinches on his shoulders but otherwise the constant apparating was working out.

The last room before the sprawling woodland field. One more close quarter battle area and Ronyo was up for pushing himself more. Diving headlong the detective then vanished from the spot and appeared back at the entrance as several spells slammed into the location he would have stopped on. You can only do the same action twice before your enemy becomes aware of it. This time his wands hurtled end without the wizards, glowing with the lightning blades added length and embedding into two criminal targets. Moving in slowly this time Ronyo picked his targets and sent two stunning spells out with his hands before calling his wands back to him. This time the former Slytherin walked with purpose instead of running and gunning. His targets appeared and then went down as both wands turned to fire on the target or quickly pull before firing on a civilian. A stunning spell clipped his left hip before the dummy responsible received two in the face for the transgression.

With the room clear Ronyo dashed out into the woodland field ready for the last part of the challenge. Several criminal targets appeared, some with civilian hostages but the majority was a large force firing down on him. Coming to stand on the center location Ronyo flipped, ducked, dodged, blocked, and deflected oncoming spells but did not move from his spot. Turning to face several targets at once and foiling their attacks he then let loose stronger spells now being outside. Lightning spells jumped from his wands and slammed into multiple enemy clusters. The few civilians faced only stunning spell flying by their fake heads as Ronyo did not wish to test the range of the area effect from his lightning spells. Several more stunning spells glanced the young man's shoulder and legs but were received with only gritted teeth and a return of a stronger spell. One dummy managed to disarm Ronyo's left wand as it flipped end over end Ronyo snapped out his left hand a let loose a stream of lightning that blazed through the dummy, and his right wand summoning the lost wand back to him.

When the dust settled Ronyo was glistening from his perspiration and his breath was coming in slightly longer rhythms. He was still good to go and smiled as he exited the area and back to the starting room with Belle. There he took a small water bottle from his bag and a towel, as the detective hydrated and dabbed some of the sweat off his face he glanced at the hostess. His shoulders rotated as he felt the stings of the splinches, his white cotton shirt now showing small red stains.

"Any chance you can make those criminal dummies pop up as the Death Eater version?" His voice and eyes spoke of a man ready to go right back in with the hopefully harder targets.

Ronyo was starting to breath a bit heavier now after having run the course a few more times and done the quick fire one as well. His white cotton shirt was clinging to him now with the sweat, and his tone chest and stomach could be seen flexing as he breathed longer now. The red patches on his shirt had stopped growing as Ronyo had refined his quick apparation after a few more splinches. A smile was wide on the detectives face as he took a slow drink of water and let it wash out the dryness in his mouth. Looking over at the sudden appearance of the young pup Ronyo's smile got even bigger as he approached her.

"Remy, I'm glad you made it. I was hoping you would show up. I'd give you a hug but I think yo would thank me to not right now," Ronyo chuckled as he looked to the door to the normal dueling arena, "How about we have those lessons you asked about?" Looking to Belle with a wink, "Mind if I let Remy beat me up for a bit? Just take it off my sum I gave you please." Ronyo turned back and smiled at Remy again.
