The Archers Mark (on hold)

Arrows and Aggression pt 2

Karen's pov.

 I was the monster? I was the one trying to look out for Star. I was the one that is helping her. How could she not see it? I watched as the Whitebeard pirates went from their instant wanting of fighting to relaxed.

 However I'm sure they can still hand our ass's to us at any moment. If this where the old us, I would have no problem fighting them, but now? 

 We lost a great amount of potential.

 Mistress looked down at me her dark dress pilled on the throne as she sighed "Very well if that is what you believe I give them full permission to take the supplies that they need. And the time that it takes for their navigators to regain their wits." The small boy with red hair jumped up and cheered. "Yay! we dont die today!" However 5 sharp glares cut him off. (Thatch Marco, Whitebeard, Mistress and Karen.) Mistress rolled her eyes and looked back at me. "However they are not to be allowed on the inner parts of the island without a commander or general present at all times. "

I glanced at the Whitebeard gathering and frowned. "Do you have one in particular?" I asked. She sent a sharp glare towards the castle doors as Star pushed them open, clearly done with our conversation. "I believe I do." She stated. 

I shook my head ignoring the Whitebeards still really relaxed manor. "Really? Last time I checked there all very busy with training there members for rankings." I stated.

 Mistress chuckled the flames behind her rising as if laughing with her. "Please as if two days would make a difference."

 I nodded. "They do." I stated. She waved her hand and jumped off the throne reveling her tall 6'4 stature.

"General I have given you your orders now follow them." She gave a quick glance to Whitebeards men who all seemed disinterested and very board. She nodded and begun to walk off.

I frowned and then looked at the Whitebeards all now watching for any idea on what had just happened. "This is great Karen." I stated to myself. This is really great.

Stars Pov.

I walked out of the doors quickly dismissing the fake smile I had put on my face when I was talking to Marco. 

I looked at the bricked pathway and watched it as I slowly walked. I noticed the charred grass barely covered the sides of the pathway. I starred with no purpose as I heard the hoops and hollers of my division watching Flames and Cindy spar. I sighed walking over the dry and crisp grass to lean on some rubble as I quietly watched my members fight with grace.

Flames stabbed her staffs end in to the ground cracking it slightly as she twisted on it flinging herself towards Cindy who ducked down by squatting but winced as she stretched out her legs. I moved my lips to the side watching them fight. Both of them looked pained as they moved, Cindy jumped up and stepped back losing her balance and swinging her arms backwards to catch herself. In that instant I imagined Flames pulling her staff out of the ground and slashing down. Straight through Cindy. 

However as I shivered at that chilling thought Flames planted her feet on the ground and held out her hand and caught Cindy. 

I let out a small sigh and started to clap slowly ending the fight. Everyone's attention turned to me as I walked over to them. A strong burst of wind pushed passed my face as I smiled big and wide. "Not that bad guys I may just not give you any training today." I stated. They seemed like they could handle themselves even without Haki. I'm sure they can survive rankings. Well they better cause if they don't then i'm stuck with them again. Or they die.
