❝I am a maiden of revolution. I never cared for the crown. I only wanted the sword.❞

"Don't cross you line Grey," Danika sneered as Aiden slipped a little closer behind her. She was furious at Edward for harassing Aiden verbally and she showed it well as her hand placed itself on the hilt of her sword, "If she wants to come with me, she can come with me."
Edward chuckled mockingly, "She's worthless."
"Then you shouldn't be wasting your time here," she snapped, "And I'll be the one to decide if she's worthless or not."
He glowered, "Why you little-"
In an instant, the hiss of his metal echoed in the arena as one of Danika's poisoned shiv-knives from her boot embedded itself in his shoulder plate, dangerously close to his neck and eating away at his armor.
"I dare you to finish that sentence."
Silence dangerously rang through the arena while Danika and Edward glowered at each other.
"Alright ladies," a voice interrupted, "get back to wherever ya need to go n' plan for tomorrow."
She swiftly turned around and glared at Tiberius as if she was saying, I had this under control.
Sure you did, he snipped back as she slowly turned away.
"Is everyone here," she called as her team made their way to the other side of the arena.
They looked at each other before quietly nodding.
"I'd like to start off by knowing everyone's names. I don't think it'd be very efficient if I called you based on your clothes," Danika said humously, lifting the dark cloud off of them all.
A smaller echo of laughter reflected her group's mood and they started off.
"Avlar, miss," The red shirted man said and Danika returned his charming, warm smile.
"And I'm Emil," the one next to him said. His dirty blonde hair shone as the sun reflected off his head.
Danika gave a nod of approval before turning to Aiden and Finnian, "Would you two like to introduce yourselves as well?"
Aiden gracefully smiled and Danika noticed something sharp poking a little bit out of her mouth.
She has extremely sharp canines, she observed thoughtfully.
"I'm Aiden, nice to meet you two," Aiden introduced while shaking their hands. Her hand lingered a little bit on Emil before quickly retracting. Danika ignored it.
Finnian stepped up and gave the two a firm handshake, "Finnian."
"Alright," Danika said after giving them a second, "Let's head to the war room and discuss strategies."
