Derek looked at Darius like he was crazy- brave, but crazy. He turned to Lily as he heard her voice. Was she serious? Go back to that place and fight again?
"Guys....if your rreally thinking about this then we'd need to be in better shape than we are. we'd have to be peeked and ready for anything." Were they really serious about this?

Darius smiled, "Now that's what I call an idea! Just add a few more special condishions and we can do it!"
He then looked at Derek, his face was that of one who thought the two of them were needed in a psychiatric ward.
"Guys....if your rreally thinking about this then we'd need to be in better shape than we are. we'd have to be peeked and ready for anything."
"Two words for you Derek," he started, "No...problem..."
He was ready! It was a fool hardy crusade, but he would risk it just to at least save some precious lives...Training would be a snap!

Lily smiled at Darius. He was a brave one. The only question was- could she live up to her old title? Could she stare at death and keep fighting? Those were questions only she could answer.
"Well then let's get out of the water and start working!" She stood up and ran over to the girls changing room and began to change into her regular clothes.

Derek shook his head, but then looked with a passion in his eyes. This could work in his favor. He could rid of Lily without even touching her.
"Ok I'm in." He said as he too got out of the water and headed for the mens changing room, pulling on his pants and shirt, then waiting for Darius before running out to meet Lily. There was something he had to say to Darius and it had to be while Lily was away.

"Yeah!" Darius said as he two scrambled out of the hot springs and dry himself off. They were like two little children at their birthday party.
Darius never got to compete in that tournament of his but this was his chance to fight or something and this time it wasn't glory...he soon got his clothes on and ran out of the changerooms.

Derek grabbed Darius's arm before he left the room.
"Darius, Darius whooooaaah hold up man." Once he had Darius's attention he gave him a very serious face.
"Lily is a girl ok? She is kind of fragile and let's face it- she's not exactly at the top of her game right? Well do you really think it'd be smart to let her join in the fighting? I mean, I'm not trying to sound pushy or anything but if I had a girl like Lily I'd want to protect her.....not send her into battle." This little tid-bit came from Derek's heart, this was real concern about Lily's safety, he'd decided he wanted to fight Lily and if she died in battle, he wouldn't know what to do.

Lily waited patiently outside the Hot Springs for the two boys thinking about all she'd learned in the past and all she could still have to learn. Would she be able to do it? Would she let Darius down? Would she let herself down? and all those Slaves who were depending on her........She shook her head, there was so much pressure.

Darius listened to Derek's points. They were good ones...that much was true...she was not on top of her game and yes he wanted to protect her but the feeling in his heart said something.
"Of all the people Derek Lily is the one who is most deserving to come with us....she is the most emotional and to let that wieght lift would be big...I say we let her compete. Besides, us being gentlemen have to pretect the fair lady..."

Derek smiled. He had a point.
"Alright, your right. She probably needs this. But I have to warn you, she could fall into her zone again, and I doubt you'll like her when she's like that. I've seen it, I would know." He nodded, why had he warned Darius? He shouldn't have done that, it would have been smarter for him to discover it himself.

Darius nodded, "Thanks for the tip, now, why don't we go outside and get to training..."
Darius felt happy about what he was going to do. After hearing the story of two ex-slaves who survived hell he was determined to help them out.

Derek nodded and followed Darius out.
"So is there some place around here to train?" He asked because if anyone knew, it'd be Lily, Darius didn't seem like who who'd go to train, but he could see Lily going there when she first came to this place. But people seemed to be suprising him, maybe Darius knew too.

Lily nodded.
"Yup they have a training hall just down the way." Suprisingly Lily was already dressed for fighting, a plain white tee and black sweats, her hair up in a pony tail and in braided. No make-up, the way Lily usually went but lately she'd been using it to compete with Jess, but that was behinde them, what was important was the future. Everything they did and didn't do could very well affect the lives they were trying to save, as well as their own lives.

"Yeah lets go there, I've been there before. I'll lead the way."
Darius lead the way to the training hall. Yes he was not one who looked like he could fight but he had before, Lily knew about the time when Liz attacked in the library. Then of course there where those other times, when the emotions of his were let loose. If anything he might have to train mentaly as well.

She stepped out of the changeroom and stepped out into the hotsprings. She kept a towel wrapped around herself and stepped into the hot springs she had tied her hair in a bun, so as not to get it too wet. she got into the water and sat down. The hot water felt good against her cold, pigmentless skin. She kept her blade where she could reach it. this was another thing that she taught herself to do. she let her head fall back and let the tension in her muscles melt away in the water.

Van eased into into the springs, leting the warm ease his tension from the training he had done that day. It was a ncie contradiction to the cold air that hinted a slight chance of snow.
