Not more than a few moments later were her suspisions confirmed. The wolf pup sat, and spoke aloud. Watching her shift, Kaida moved slightly. She'd met the girl before. Squinting her eyes, she pushed herself up off the treebranch, standing, watching as the girl climbed a tree close by. She wasn't sure if this was a good idea, not liking having met her before... but she thought she might as well try.
Taking ahold of a nearby vine, she rapped it around her arm, and held on tight. Pushing herself away from the tree, she launched into the air, swinging around intil she landed on a branch beside Destiny. Moving to take hold of the girls clothing in case she were to startle and plumit to the ground, Kaida re introduced herself. Kaida. From halloween. Fox shifter.
Gripping onto the branch, she looked down at Destiny. Having the ability to climb these trees was certinaly a good quality. Especially within her tribe. She'd already recruited two, and the other was coming along nicly. Seeing how Destiny was a canince shifter made it all the more intresting. Kadia began to think, maybe, just maybe... she could be an asset. She'd have to test her though... but how?

I have no buisness prying into your life, and frankly, i really don't need to know. Looking away, she tried to remember how she'd recruited the other three. Each had been different, yet all eager to join. Maybe Destiny would be no different. It seems rather obvious that, something has happened to you. I see the same in you that i saw in myself. As of now though, i've move past that. Learned to block it from my heart. Looking back at Destiny, she tried to show her how much better it was this way.
You can do the same. Pausing, she looked out over the rainforest. It was dark and damp, but nothing she hadn't gotten used to. I've gotten a rather small tribe togther. Each joining for thier own reasons, but all with the same purpose. Becoming a warrior, and showing no mercy to those who betrayed us. Your welcome to join... however. There is a test. Just... a way to prove your loyality. Standing up, she took hold of the vine, reading herself to take off if the girls answer should be no.
Theres just one question to answer before you decide. What to you really have left in Elysia? Kaida peered down at her, making Destiny face the awful truth about reality. Each warrior had to do the same, and all came back with the same responce. There was nothing left.

She figured she'd bring her to a training site, away from camp. If Destiny were to fail, then she didn't want her to know where it was. Not that she didn't think she could trust her... it wasn't about that. She needed to stick to the rules shed given herself when she first started. No one joined, and left. It didn't work that way. Luckily she hadn't had to deal with that just jet.

I'm not expecting perfect. No one is. But i need to know how much I will need to train you, and if you have the ability to train. There was more to it than that, and not even Siernia knew it. Of course she'd tell her before the fight, but still, she hoped the Anyeli truested her by now.
After moving through about a mile of forest, she came out into a small clearing. Around it were makeshift traning spots. Dead center was a ring, made so by weak posts and vine. There were also makeshift targets and the obsticle course. Near the ring were many tree stumps, including a rather high one, a place for Kaida to view without interference.
Moving until she stood right next to stump, she intied a hidden vine and opened the bark like a door. Inside the hollowed out tree were all of Kaida's weapons. The girls had managed to make, or buy thier own. But when training, they used hers. Taking out the bow, she grabbed an arrow rigged with a small explosive at the end of it. Pulling out her lighter, she lit the fuse, then quickly nocked the arrow, then let it fly. Nearly as soon as it reached its peak, the bottle exploded and lit up the sky. Siernia would be on her way shortly.

Looking deep into the pups golden eyes, she tried to pass her confidence into her. You are not weak. In your mind, you think that you can't do something, and that makes you weak. If you block it out, you can do anything. Emotions only get in the way. This is said many times.. but its very true. All you have to fear, is fear itself. Without fear, without... emotion, your abilities will flourish. Standing up, Kaida moved over to the tree stump. Putting back the bow, she shut the flap and turned back to Destiny.
I used to let anger consume me. My emotions told me what was right, and what was wrong. When i blocked them out, i've done nothing but thrive. Looking away for a moment, she looked back toward her. Giving her a soft smile, she crouched down again. This takes time though... and training. I was lucky enough to be shocked into this reality. For everyone else... they have to learn it. And its not easy. For now... id say anger would be the best emotion to show me your abilities with. Although remember, when your angry, you get careless. Watch your back.

Looking back towards the main entrance from camp, she nodded to herself, pleased the flare worked. Sierina was slowly making her way over, her Axe in hand. Kaida had never tried using the flare, and its purpose was for many things. Calling one another to eachother, calling for help, or just simply making a note of where someone was.
Seeing Sierina come to it was pleasing, and the fact she had her axe in hand was even more so. For all she knew, trouble could have been here. Looking back toward Destiny, she nodded toward the Anyeli. You ready?

Inside was the weapons she'd brought from the desert. All still new, all waiting to be claimed and mastered. From left to right, they all fit snugly inside the hidden trunk. Scimitar, Twin Axe, Bullwhip, Long Hunting Knife, Set of 2 Small Daggers, Small Warhammer, Med. Spear, Small Wooden Crossbow, Stone Throwing Knives.
Looking toward Destiny, she tried to pic down which weapon she'd pick. All her girls had their own specitaly, and she wasn't about to prevent one from using a weapon the others decided to master. But she hoped to have the tribe be very diverse. And at least gain some knowledge in a secondary weapon. Kaida had had been mastering the spear all her life, accompanied by a hunting knife. But her secondary weapon was the Bow. And she deffinatly would admit to not training with it like she should. Her skill level should be up to par now, but it was lacking, majorly.
From how she'd seen Destiny act eariler, she pegged her for a dagger type, but people continued to suprise her. She'd soon find out.

Slowing her pace upon entering the clearing, Sierina immediatly gripped her axe in her hand. Upon seeing the flare, she didn't quite know what to think. It was the first time she'd seen it, other than the practice times she and Kaida had shot. It's warrnt could be a number of things. But they all had the same meaning. Run.
Her eyes landed on Kaida almost immediatly. Seeing the woman next to her, she almost tensed up, but both their casual stances calmed her. Whatever this was, it wasn't an attack. Moving elegantly, she crossed the small field over to the two. Her eyes stayed on the stranger as she noticed the girl had ears and a tail. Shifter.
Walking up behind them, she gave a polite nod back to the shifter. Looking toward Kaida, she raised a brow. What's going on?

Moving to hook arms with Sierina, she headed away from Detiny slowly, speaking softly so the shifter couldn't hear. Sierina, I think there is potential in Destiny. I've met her before, but im sure now the circumstances she's come to us in will prove to make her an ideal warrior. But I can't be sure as I don't know her fighting level. Pausing in speack, she looked at her directly in the eyes. I need you to fight her.
Pausing only a moment, she continued on in hopes to prevent her from objecting. I don't mean to harm you, and i'll be watching the entire fight. But I need you to let her win at some point. I can tell you when by signal. At the point, when she'd "beaten you", i wll then instrust her to kill you. The words were... intense. But Kaida knew what she was doing. Hopefully.
I won't let her... but I need to know she could do it. Looking at Sierina, she removed her arm then grasped for her hand to squeeze assuringly. Trust me. She said simply.

Sierina listened carefully. It all made perfect sense, until she said the word kill, and refered to Sierina. Opening her mough to obviously object, Kaida was quicker, and continued speaking. Frowning only slightly, she didn't like the idea of being out of control and vaurnable like that. She'd just have to trust that Kaida would be able to stop the shifter in time. Either that, or the girl would wind up dead.
Nodding silently, she looked toward the girl, and nodded again. She'd spent the morning training, and was already limbered up. Fighting was second nature to her, she'd been through it more than she'd ever imagined she would. Holding back however, would prove very difficult.
Moving to the ring, she took off some of her bulky armor, tossing them to the side, then swiftly ducked under and in between the vines creating the ring, and stepped inside. Placing her labrys on the ground, she leaned against it and waited.

Approaching her, she lifted her brow slightly. Sierina is ready. Her weapon of choice is the labrys. Pausing to look at Destiny's whip, she couldn't help but think of it as a defensive tool. She could try hand to hand combact, but in this day and age, you needed weapons. You can choose any weapon you want, but only one. When your ready, step into the ring. I'll signal you two to start.
Turning from her, Kaida made her way to the large tree stump and climped up. Sitting on top, she waited for Destiny to ready herself, thens she'd observe and decide.
