Everyone has spread out into the tents, they're was food and clothes left behind.
Kian went to his, but as soon as he did he saw Kaede.
She was in the same type of clothes from when they were in the cabin except she was also in a robe.
He froze "Kaede?"
She fiddled with the robe "Well, I was thinking we could... You know. Be together, it's been a hard time so... Why not? Right?"
Kian smiled "You could've just asked." He walked up to her and kissed her
In a way Kian just needed some form if comfort. He'd been tortured and separated. All he needed was someone who loved him.
She kissed his cheek then his neck as she wrapped her arms around him looked up at him.
Put then the tent opened they looked quickly, seeing Khione who was blushing.
"Um... Sorry I was just coming in to... Um"
She was in a robe and... Yeah May definitely told her to do this.
"No your not interrupting, your my lover as well.
She walked up to him and leaned into him.
Kaede whispered in her ear making Khione blush before looking at Kian she put her hands on his shoulders and he blushed as well as she pushed forward into his lips.
2 kisses in one night.
May also walked in, she was wearing a robe as well. She had a smile on her face then walked out.
"I'm sure she's waiting till were old enough to do something more than just kiss." Kaede teased "I hope you can handle all of us then.
They laid down with him and cuddled.

Kaede walked with Commander Elara. "I'll train you to be the best warrior you can be. Then after we'll all gather to explain our plans for rebellion. Understood girl?"
Kaede nodded and she got into fighting stance, the naked trees around them, plus the camp behind them that brought occasionally laughs or yells.
Elara snapped "Focus on your enemy." Elara glared at Kaede and dashed towards her.
Her attacks were fierce, but calculated. Unlike Kaede who's attacks were Chaotic and slightly calculated, not to mention sneaky. Mostly good for sneak attacks, which didn't work on Elara who was pretty aware of her immediate surroundings.
The sounds from the camp kept begging for Kaede's attention, making it hard to focus on Elara, but she did her best.
Elara was pretty quick too, so when she did a spin kick, Kaede wasn't prepared and was knocked down.
Elara looked at her "Kaede, what's bothering you?"
Kaede looked at Elara "I don't want to lose anyone. I'm afraid that if I look away, they'll all go."
Elara pat her shoulder "You're still so young, yet you have to deal with adult things, how tragic. Yet... If you stop here, if you don't become stronger, how can you be sure they won't be killed in the first place. Forget them leaving, how can you protect them if your not strong enough?!"
Kaede clenched her teeth to hold back tears, but still some fell.
"YOU CAN'T! You need to train till your bones break! Train until every move, becomes etched into your fighting style. No matter what Kaede, look forward. Think of your ancestors, The Ignari! They never once retreated or gave up! Why do you think your the last? Because they died an ambush like the world says? No! They died in battle! They died close to victory!"
Kaede's soul began to roar, something wanted to wake up from within her. Something that had been asleep ever since she was a kid.
"They weren't ambushed, they were overwhelmed. 4 nations had to send they're while army to just slow them... It was all 8 at the time that stopped them and killed every... Last one of them. Leaving your pregnant mother. Then you were born, but she sealed your spirit till you were old enough to rise!"
Elara looked at Kaede and pat her shoulder "NOW LET THE BEAST RUN WILD!"
Kaede entire body became loose, her eyes began to follow every movement. She saw red lines, some darker, some lighter.
Her body began to heat up as if she was on fire.
She let out a breath as she followed the lines. The brighter one showed her routes of attacks that honestly were the best, the darker showed routes that had a 50/50 percent chance of success or a very low chance.
She followed one of the brighter ones and rolled dodging a strike then did a sweep kick that knocked Elara off the ground, but the older woman used her hand to do a handstand then a backflip to her feet.
Kaede turned her head as the lines showed up, a bunch of bright lines appeared this time.
She followed the brightest and dashed forward. Elara tried a front kick, but Kaede dropped low and looked at a new bright string and grabbed Elara's leg "Don't hold back Kaede!"
Kaede twisted her leg and threw herself into Elara knocking her down.
"Good, Very good." Elara smirked and stood with a limp. "We'll continue tomorrow. Let's go, so we can set our plans in motion"
Kaede helped her walk to the Camp.
"Everyone, Gather!" Elara yelled
Everyone grouped around her at the campfire. "So first, the King is here in the castle." She pointed the far right of the Kingdom. "We are here in the prison area" she pointed to the north of the slave market. Which was far left towards the entrance of Cadis.
"if we go straight we'll run into the guards barracks. Giving us a lot of trouble and casualties." She pointed at the scattered, but close barracks leading to the castle. "The same is to say for the south. So going through is our only option although risky and we can't leave as they know our face... Damn it!"
She slammed her fist on the table.
Kaede stepped up "May I help?"
Elara nodded and stepped back. "Going through is dangerous as they know our faces, but... You haven't considered going diagonally. It's dangerous, but we have a higher chance of coming with less casualties. See 3 barracks, then through the common area, we can try to gain more manpower if we say the right things. So we should use you-"
"Me? No, we'll use you. Actually..." She took off her hat and put in Kaede "Lead us... Commander Kaede."
Kaede looked at Elara then everyone else, everyone nodded. Kian smiled "Come on Kaede!"
Khione held up a fist and so did the other girls.
Then Kaede smiled and put her hands on the table "We'll get as many weapons as we can, can anyone here smith?"
One man raised his hand
"Then you'll be forging as many as you can, now we need collectors!"
5 raised their hands
"Now how about fighting teachers?" Kaede look at Elara and nodded and Elara did as well while raising her hand.
"How about medics?"
Khione and 4 other's raised their hands.
"Then let's get to work, because Cadis won't slow down and neither will we!"
Everyone yelled in unison.
