Welcome to Gaia! ::

"ummm." Akki looked back t him slightly averting eye contact.
"how about just normal meditation" She said wearily, she didnt want to fight, she was beyond rusty and right now everyone was tense.

Akki stood up and stretched
"look..i could just tell you..what has gone on..here you sorta told me what happen in the shadow clan.." She rubbed her neck.

'

Akki gave a half hearted laugh
"no..im much to rusty, you'd have me pinned in 3 moves..i don't think my pride could take such a blow." She looked up him, knowing there was no way around not telling him what happened.

"when you came back from the shadow clan, you were..different, not only in the attitude but in physical aspects. You had a tail and ears and black hair, you were much thinner too, I didn't recognize you at first but, when you spoke it was you, there was no denying that." Akki gave him a little smile.

"then you told me to, mobilize the army and gather some of the strongest miners, because you wanted to go to..war with the shadow clan, i asked you why, and you gave me a half-assed answer that was more or less that, someone attacked and you wanted to get them back for it, by starting a full scale attack." She fiddled with her hair nervously hoping that he wouldn't go through with the attack any more.

"oh...im sorry if that question hurt you..."he said looking down at the hilt of his sword then turning back and looking at her for a short time..."i guess so but im not sure i was supposed to be going to the castle to talk to someone about my job, im going to work as a worrier and help if i could"he said pulling a piece of paper out of his pocket

"You do know that i don't need you to back me. I could simply organize everything myself. The person i presume to be the leader there has tried to kill me countless times in the past she is vial and evil in every respect. Failing to act will be or down fall i know her future plans do not include lasting peace. She has killed every true friend i have ever had and then some. she has destroyed countless lives when she made a conquest against river clan and all the rest who would apposed her hundreds of years ago maybe even before your time. If you think i will let those facts go you or mistaken." Kagai said with a touch of anger in his tone.

Kagai then turned and began to walk in a circle around Akki looking off thinking his sword know resting on his back. He circled her twice before stopping standing in front of her.

"You don't think that we have the power to take down shadow. If that is the case then we need to change that. You need to practice and hone your skills even if i decide to go alone fight and maybe die for my ideals there would be an attack on fire clan most likely in response. So you need to be in shape for battle and so does everyone else. Gather up the soldiers have them practice drills and get back into shape. For too long my people have only cared about establishing wealth they need to focus on gaining skill instead. Have half of the mining force do the same. If you will not help me i will find someone else are at least try to get another clan to back us up. I guess ill have to wait for a short wile at least until everything is in order" Kagai said one hand clasping onto his wrist behind his back his voice was utterly neutral.

"So what if there is a war going on we are not allies with river clan i see no reason to help. Earth can do as it likes i was not told so my guess is my help is not needed. You tell me such things as if fighting the dark clan would be any deferent then fighting shadow. You speak as if you would wish for me to send people off to fight dark clan but not shadow. People die on both sides in war regardless of who the force is if i help them people die if i don't people die. This is no debate do as i ask or step down as my second in command those or your options. You wanted a reason why i wish to attack i gave it. Your logic would have us waiting and by chance shadow and dark two of the most deceptive clan could join forces by chance and march her attack and wipe out any and everyone who did not flee once or strength failed. No i will not sit and wait for the war to come to me" Kagai said with an irritated expiration the way in witch he stared down at her and moved forward slightly was almost as if he was assorting his dominance.

"Do you wish to solve this matter through battle? You think my army or people could defend an attack when all there efforts or spent seeking riches wile other clans spend there time gaining strength and honing there skills spare me. If your so passionate about the strength you can only see coming from or people in the form of repelling an attack or invasion then show me!" kagai said in almost a growl

Kagai's hand moved up and clasped on rebellion handle firmly his posture was still very much so dominant an challenging he was hunched over slightly his face not very far from Akki's.

Kagai breathed in deep then breathed out smoke escaping his lips there was a mixture of over whelming rage as well as deep sadness. He had reached his limit in a flash his body began to change against his will. bits of his hair fell out revealing a shorter black hairstyle underneath. His hands became claws and a tail pushed trough his pants. His eyes averted hers one hand gripped Akki's wrist and pulled her hand away from his swords hilt.

"I can not fight you.....So instead ill let the birdie out of its cage. You think your way of thinking is more noble then mine less selfish then prove it. Your the fire clan leader know I'm done until i say other wise do as you like." Kagai said his golden eyes staring back down at her before he pushed against her shoulder moving her from his path.

Kagai's tail was pointed out straight and ridged as he finally made it to the door. He rested his forehead against it and clutched his chest. His free hand stretched out up above himself and he pulled it down his nails cutting into the wooden door. A second later he stood up straight and pushed open the door.

"It's nothing." Li said amiably, she was in much better control of her emotions than she used to be.
"And if your a warrior, I'm sure there will be plenty of work for you here."
Maybe I should tell Akki about him first. She might want to check him out, and I'll bet she wont be happy if I just hand Kagai a healthy new warrior for that war of his. Li sighed to herself and scratched her head- her horns felt weird.
"Would you mind staying here on your own for a bit?" Li asked hopefully.
"I don't mean to be rude but I need to go see someone at the palace- I'll set up a bed first. No one will bother you here."

"no its ok i might need to go out for a bit but ya i could i dont mind..."he said reaching into his back pocket and pulling out a small bag"hey do you know what these are?"he said pulling out a bunch of bright red and green and black stones that seemed to glow"cause i found these somewhere and i dont know what they are?"he said looking at them oddly as they glowed
