cool  Life began with an intake of breath and the flicker of eyes opening to reveal emerald hues to gaze at the Fire capital's surroundings.
Day in. Day out.
The Nan had moved within the militant reign of Emperor Shen's territory to join the ranks to become a soldier. To become a warrior to defend a home she had yet to truly explore, appreciate and learn completely, including it's true beginning. Amaterasu did not hear the call to bare arms or to begin training as of yet so she took advantage of the time to learn as much as she could. This also included why the need for warriors to serve and protect an already strong community was absolutely necessary.
Who were they fighting against? Why would they fight against them?
These were the first questions that had come to Amaterasu's mind until slowly but surely she would hear the whispers but what weight could they carry? No one would truly speak to her bluntly about the divide in the Fire community over differing views of leadership. No one would truly speak about the defiance of the enemy and their consequence they would have to bare for all time. All Amaterasu knew at this point of her newly woven life, all of about several weeks by now, was that the enemy was out there and that she was a warrior bound to serve and protect her community.....
Amaterasu blinked several times in the present at the thoughts that swirled in her mind while she walked away from the location of where she opened her eyes and moved to explore without fear this place she called home. Though there were others who were newly woven just about the same time as her, she did not make any formal or informal connections with anyone. If anything she found herself slightly shy in making introductions to anyone.
On the other hand perhaps it was just as well considering that as a future warrior she would need to not have emotional ties to anyone or anything right? Her duty was to her community no matter the cost. Of course Amaterasu did not understand just yet the gravity of what the costs of war would take down the road.
The lovely female walked at a controlled gait as she looked around at what seemed like a lonely area west of the Fire Capital. The ground beneath her was a mixture of hard packed earth with stone, on her right she felt the warmth of the cavern opening an to the left the coolness of the fertile earth that thrived Her emerald eye observed the area as she tried to patrol the area. All the while her mind and soul felt that she was lacking knowledge, a great deal of it and that there didn't seem to be anyone to learn important aspects of being a warrior or of this life and the circumstances that were happening all around her. Whom could she ask to help her make sense of this world....of this community?[ Radical Dreamer ] I hope the introduction was alright, not my finest while sleepy but the point I wanted to make was that the italics are her thoughts and the rest is her move away from the fire capital to explore an hopefully happen across others who are on the dragon side willing to just help her and learn from. I hope that is alright and if not please let me know and I'll make necessary adjustments and changes. Thank you so much.

"I just don't understand it, uncle..." A ebony and ivory younger Tahtill, mumbled to a taller and outwardly more seasoned Tahtill.
Long dark tail shifted behind him, and a sigh left his maw. Taking a glance to his party, his eyes shifted around as if to take notice of anyone that might have over heard his words or might have been paying attention. It had been a morning full of the usual physical training. It was the everyday ritual; Something, his uncle and more recently-his newly carved cousins, had always done since following the Lead Commander, and the pervious Magus. Now, it was done simply to keep an edge on their horns, especially with the whispers of war and a uprising enemy.
A sigh left the younger b'alam as his dark paws shifted on the city streets. Though, something obviously rested heavily on his shoulders, Sir Warder-just as his uncle never let his horns tip forward. No, his chin was to always remain level with the earth, and his horns raised proudly to the sun, unless posed for battle. Their family was a proud and noble one...--
"You mustn't speak of such foolish things in the open, Cub." The steady and deep voice left a white and and yellow Tahtil. His purple gaze didn't waver from his path even as his nephew took a reassuring glance to him.
A breath was slowly received into the proud chest of the fire balam. His stance-if at all possible was more poised and regal then the darker younger Tahtil that walked beside him. Long white tail curled and remained raised proudly behind him as the a more Notable Vibrant Nahtil came into his field of vision. A slow breath, quietly left Adonis as he made note of her. He was sure that he had seen her about the newly form company, that had been gathered under their new leaders...
It was only then a glance was made to his nephew, as if to take note if he had been paying attention to the b'alam that where near and of earshot.
--
"Understood, Tah." The words left the younger b'alam. Warden's Yellow eyes dropped down to look at his younger cousin, making sure the little cub hasn't wonder off. Though a good sense about him, knew that his uncle was well aware where his cub was at.
Sensing Adonis' gaze on him, Warder's kinder looking eyes made a quick glance at his uncle before a confused look crossed his maw.
Seriously what was that look for?
Golden orbs followed the subtle shift of his elder's gaze to a bright pink Nahtil. His head couldn't help but tilt slightly. It was a...Nahtil?
Taking another look at his leader, his dark shoulders shrugged. What?
Was his uncle point out a Nahtil for him to take notice of? Did they know her?
---
A sigh of discontent left Adonis, though with some help from the weaver he managed to still his head from shaking.
Foolish...young...
Purple eyes fell down to the dark shadow he felt beside him with every little step the cub made.
---
A dark cub looped eagerly beside his lighter father. His pelt was as dark as the night sky, though with every wiggled and loped step-it became more evident that his personally was by far his brightest trait.
Maw was partly open, as a faint pant left the cub as he worked twice as hard to keep up with his father and cousin's longer gait. He didn't mind, it was fun to keep up-and just with training he was determined to not be left behind. He was gonna be as strong as father and his cousin someday.
Dark eyes looked up to his two escorts as his eager ears remained turned and perked to pick up on everything they might have been talking about. He was such a curious cub.Krusnik05 perfect in everyway. Sorry for typos, I am on my phone

After feeling alone for the last hour or so of walking; Amaterasu paused as the sense of awareness went through her coming from the right side. Stopping in her tracks the Nan thought about this for a moment, just a moment about her surroundings. Amaterasu turned her head slowly to the right and spotting other fire kin far enough off to see that they were males, there were two and a half and...they spotted her as well.
Though she couldn't hear if they spoke to one another there had to be another way of communication they had that made them pause as well....if they even noticed her there. But then why wouldn't they? Amaterasu was quite bright with pinkish-orange hues and purple coat after all.
Placing that aside, Amaterasu tilted her head to the side slightly to observe two adult Tahs and a cub right next to the paler Tah. Pressing her lips together she considered moving on but it had seemed as though it would be rude to not at least say hello and besides they were in a conversation, or had been as the presence of a silent blanket was over them.
Clearing her throat she turned towards them and bowed her head at the paler Tah then at the others in varying degrees to denote the respect of their age as even she could tell who was the oldest of the trio.
"Greetings, Fire-kin. It is a nice day to be out for a walk." She said in a husky toned voice that carried over and kept her emotions neutral. Amaterasu also didn't want to let this trio know that she was a newly recruited warrior as she didn't want them cautious around her or worse not warrior material for such a proud community that was developing itself into a strong force to be reckoned with.

Adonis' eyes rose from his cub as his careful ears took in the greeting of the Nahtil. Light ears turned and slowly turned forward. Careful brow raised, as his attention was fully paced on the other b'alam. His white paw with so much as a glance stretched out just a nudge to stil Ajax's lopped steps forward.
"And ablaze with in you, Nahtil." Adonis spoke with a respectful tilt of his white horns to the Nahtil.
Taking in a slow breath, the eldest closed his eyes for a moment. He really wasn't in the mood for a talk or meeting another, however-he was one of a prideful den. One, that was always poise and kept maw.
"I am Adonis," The Tahtill spoke, letting his soft purple and jaded eyes look back to the new Nahtil.
" This is my Nephew, Sir Warden and my own carved, Ajax." Words left the Tah, elegantly and smoothy. Easly, his words could be assumed to be well practiced.
"We are of Naraan." The elder stated, giving their more well known and established family line name. The eldest offered a small smile, knowing it was more proper of the Tahtil's to offer their name first, as Nahtils should only offer their own names if they had chosen to.
As stated before, Adonis was very careful with keeping maw.--- Sir Warden's eyes pulled themselves to look from his uncle, as the brightly pelted nahtil spoke. White and black brow shifted with intrigue as she introduced her self to them. head stopped it's self from tilting to the side to the sudden interest. How curious.
Careful ear turned to his uncle as Adonis spoke and regally offered up his own introduction for their family. Just as if rehearsed, Sir Warden closed his gaze and tilted his own white horns forward as he was introduced.
"Fire Burn with in you." The younger spoke softly to not over voice his uncle, but still offer a meeker greeting.
---
The little shadow that had followed beside his father's strides, had been slightly alarmed by the sudden shift of his dad's paw in front of him. Dark tail puffed and front paws skidded to a halt. His hunches quickly flopped forward to stop him completely causing him flopping less regally beside his father.
Ajax's dark eyes blinked with wonderment, head shifted and turned to look up at Adonis, past his puffy locks. Shaking his head a little, he cleared the dark bangs from his ebony eyes. Taking in a slow breath, he released it in a huff.
Little maw scrunched a little as he felt his father's gaze on him, even though his attention was on the Nan. Straightening himself, the cub moved back to his oddly large paws and just as coached by his family, he did his best to stand poised. Little chin leveled to the ground, and his chest puffed as he was introduced. Dark ears turn as he heard the soft words of his cousin. Eyes quickly darted down timidly.
"fire burn with you." The cub repeated in a slight unsure mumble. Eyes quickly looked down, before making a quick nervousness glance to his father. Did he do that right? It seemed to be a greeting, one he had heard his family members say before.

Amaterasu dipped her head to a respectful nod to each male member of this trio again especially to the littlest one whom she found....rather adorable. Yet she looked over at each one putting name to each face and what connection they had to one another. The only thing that was unfamiliar to her was his family line name. Ama didn’t know many and was slightly hesitant to learn about anyone even in this moment or reveal that she didn’t know that much about the established family clans in her community. She showed that hesitation on what to do or say next to them especially at the imposing light pelt male whose energy said he was the more seasoned of the two adult Tahs. However ignorance was unacceptable with knowledge being a necessity to survive and thrive.
Taking a deep, steadying breath to focus herself in the moment she smiled faintly at the Tahs, with her tail curling around her leg slightly in the attempt to relax. Another steadying breath and she looked directly at each Tah directly. ”I do apologize if I’ve crossed into your territory and for…not knowing the name of your family. Perhaps you may tell but I am a recently woven Fire-kin.” Looking around the area they were in she nodded to herself. ”It seems safe from the divided-kin….” Her voice was matter-of-fact and did not hold any specific emotion of whether that was a good thing or a bad thing. ”I truly hope that you, sir, and your family are safe from these…rather vague things that has been said on the events lately…” Events that no one wanted to really tell her completely about and why there was such a divide between everyone.

Adonis' lighter ears perked and his brow raised slightly as the Nahtil, Amaterasu spoke. Lighter, and non traditional color pelted tail shifted in a sight 'tick', it had moved but remained in it's proud raised height.
"No apologies are needed, Nan" Adonis spoke strongly, his brow remained raised at the newer individual.
"You have not inconvenienced anyone, or have done anything wrong." It was a simple proud lesson, one the fire kin had been keen to follow himself and though his woven life. Sir, and even young Ajax knew that a unneeded sorry was going to be quickly pointed out by the elder.
"this 'territory belongs to -all- that are woven of fire. It isn't my place to say other wise..." The elder spoke vaguely on the subject, well what he could say of it and it not to be consider 'treasonous' by the self proclaimed emperor.--- Sir's eyes shifted momentary to his uncle as the Nahtil spoke, no doubt he thought she gave herself away too easily, which...could be telling that she had nothing to hide, or perhaps a con to something more. One could never be too careful, with the empire in such a....state. Taking in a slow breath, Sir offered a smile and took a step forward as his uncle paused in his words. She had seemed to address him apart from his Uncle and him and Ajax's as family.
"Our family is vast but still young it self." The Younger Tahtil youthful voice spoke up, and ended in a soft chuckle. A orange gaze took a glance at his elder, his maw tamed in it's smile and his ears quickly docked back in a wordless apology for interrupting. With his gaze turned fully back at Amaterasu, Sir's smile returned more strongly. Sometimes his uncle did like to go on a Prideful tangent
"We are indeed..." Sir Warder spoke for his Uncle and as if he knew what to say. Such a thing was carefully watched and even allowed by the elder.
"As a family we are strong and stand together for if we where divided we would easily fall..." The darker b'alam repeated what he had learned from the combined maw of his family.
"Such a thing would not honor Naraan or the Fire that has been woven in us." The youth spoke with a smile, his white chest rose proudly to his words.-- The darker little cub sat, with a great amount of effort still beside and in the warm shadow of his father. Dark little orb looked from the brightly pelted Nahtil. His head twisted and turned up to look at his dad. Eyes traveled from under his father's moving maw to the lightly moving tail.
Little bum shifted behind him, as his own dark tail started to shift it's self. It was so hard to control to keep from wiggling too much. Even in trying to still the bum wiggled caused his upper half to shake and tremble in sport as well.
Large and cumbersome Ebony front paw raised and poked at his father's lighter and more slender paw. dark eyes fell to it, before taking a quick asking glance up to his dad

Amaterasu watched Adonis thoughtfully and nodded then thought about how it was obvious her not knowing that this was where his family resided or roamed the most. Perhaps she was being foolish to apologize for something that didn't make these three upset in anyway. The Nahtil nodded but the last comment that Adonis said struck her curiosity. Blinking up she was about to say something when Sir spoke up after taking a step forward.
Turning her attention to him she smiled faintly as she listened and nodded. "But your family is much older than me as I am only a few weeks old in my woven life." Woven into a dangerous and tense time for any B'alam's life for sure. Yet again what Sir said was striking to her.....It made sense than what was going on right now in the Fire Tribe. It made perfect sense on being strong together as one rather than divided.
Such words stirred up her need to know why there was a divide on the larger scale but as she looked at the two Tahs and the littlest Tah...Amaterasu didn't want to voice her confusion and curiosity to understand the whole story about her Fire tribe. Perhaps now wasn't the time to know those exact details. Amaterasu had to settle for something simple as she didn't know if these Tahs were close to the Emperor, whom she really didn't know much about only that he was powerful, strong, incredibly handsome, and fierce. Such traits didn't inspire the need to be devoted to him but then again it would be unfair to make that assumption without seeing the Emperor first.
Back to the main point however she didn't know if they were close to him or not. If they were not then she wouldn't want them to be in trouble as it was obvious to her that there was a lot of......Amaterasu mentally rolled her eyes as the imagination was getting out of control. Taking a deep breath and forcing her mind to be in the here and now, she blinked a few times. "I agree as that makes the most sense to me. It has been hard to understand.....the current state of affairs, for example. So to hear these words it helps to reflect. To be frank, I do not understand many things that is happening among our community right now aside from learning to survive and pay attention to my instincts....and find my place in this world."
The Nahtil shook her head and gave an amused smile. "You'll reprimand me again but I apologize for speaking too freely. I am still developing into my own."

Adonis attention was carefully placed on his nephew, who admittedly a bit boldly took over the conversation. Wordlessly his head shifted in a nod as Sir glance back up to him, his violate eyes closed for a moment reassuring the younger one he was okay to keep the lead.
Long yellow and white tail shifted behind him as he listened to Sir and the Nahtlil, Amaterasu. Careful eyes placed themselves on her as his lighter ears took in her words.
So, she was freshly woven. Well, she was doing well for not exising long ago. It was Impressive, how meek and respectful she was. Most newly woven always seemed to have something they felt they needed to prove.
Just as the thought crossed his mind, he felt the little touch of his cub's paw. Violet eyes looked down to his son, and his white brow raised. Little black eyes looked back at him questioningly. Adonis' strong and regal flat expression, quickly fell apart with a understanding smile.
The cub was a bit stir crazy, if his constant wiggling was evident enough. Lifting his paw, Adonis picked up his slender white paw and raised it over the cub's head. Pads and toes stretched out as if to tease falling gently down on him. Yellow tail shifted behind him in a little sway. Looking up for a moment, Adonis looked back up to the Nahtlil and offered a small smile. He was a solider, but still a father...
----
Sir offered Amaterasu a smile, he took another glance over as his uncle and proceeded as he was given the 'go ahead'. Taking a glance to his cousin, his smile widened before looking back to the Nahtlil as she spoke of age.
"Our clan, believes that age doesn't always determined placement or rank. " Sir spoke as he took a step closer to the Nahtlil, giving his uncle the room needed if the little pawing turned into full blown play.
"After all, the First Magus at one time where ordained by the weaver to rule a tribe, when they themselves had been freshly woven." The Fire b'alam spoke freely letting his tone soften just slightly. His darker tail remained still, as he thought more carefully about his words.
"Even if some have chosen to abandon their post." Sir added in a sigh, and a slight frown. His words where more of a spoken after thought. His ears and tail lowered, as his gaze slipped off to the side. Admittly the thought distracted him from where he had been going with such a statement...
---
Ajax's little dark eyes widened with a bit of surprise as his father's paw raised. This was it, his father was testing him! His maw slacked and his questioning look became that of a more calculating one. He had to do his best, show his father just how strong he had been becoming! Prove to him, how hard he had been training!
Ears perked forward, causing little dark bangs to twitch. Taking a three footed step back, his hind hunches wiggled, causing his tail to fail about a little.
This was it!
Picking himself up his front paws raised to each up at his father's paw.
Attacking was the best offense!
On dark paw shot up to bat at the paw, and then quickly he tried for a second swipe!
Ha! A little, and admittedly -adorable-, reverberating growl left the cub. Regardless the sound, he felt fierce! little dark gums pulled back to show his white fangs. All of which seemed to sparkle against his mat black pelt.
The first strike grabbed and hooked on his father's paw. The second one's aim was thrown off as his first paw nail's caught haphazardly on Adonis' own white nails. His body wiggled to try and compensate the error. He raised a little on his hind legs, but the swish of his right paw had been to rambunctious. Which caused his body to shutter and shift ecstatically as he tried to keep his hind leg raise and strong. The shifting and turning persisted until, no amount of dark tail could keep his round body from toppling over back wards softly.
Drat....
A soft 'uff' left the son and soft chuckle left the father.
Adonis' eyes looked from his son and only after the cub showed signs he was okay.
Adonis raised his eyes back to Sir and Amaterasu as the silence was registered. Carefully a light ear turned back as he searched his subconscious to what the two had been saying before he was distracted by play. lowering his head, his maw carefully picked and righted his son back to his large oversize paws. Nudging him with his nose, he gave the cub a little lick on his brow, purposely messing his dark wild bangs.
His purple eyes looked back at the Nahtlil.
"It isn't my responsibly to do such a thing, just as it never anyb'alam's to have to understand or even judge the choices that others may make. Regardless what another has chosen, It is the freedom the Grand Weaver has blessed us with. It is only right to respect that..." Adonis managed to speak such deep words simply.
"However, we must only be responsible for our own actions, and fight for what we have convictions for-even if it contradicts another." The elder added. The Emperor, was doing that very same thing...

It was hard not to be distracted by the cub who was full of energy even though he had done his very best to contain it as long as he could. Smiling faintly she glanced over to Ajax and was touched by the affection that Adonis showed to his cub. Yet Sir spoke up and her eyes went to him, engaging and focused on what he had to express that made her tilt her head to the side.
"I've never heard of the.....First Magus. I suppose that is difficult to learn as no one truly speaks of the history of this tribe and well...." Amaterasu paused as something like confusion went through her. It was confusing to Ama to be blindly and obliviously loyal to someone without knowing how they ended up in power to begin with.
Perhaps....just perhaps she could learn a thing or two from these Tahs, even from the youngest one who had a resilient and noble manner about him. Adonis was right that no one could judge another. Just as.....did she feel any convictions for being a warrior for this fierce Emperor? It would be difficult to learn in this moment yet again. "Would it be.....strange to ask if I may stay a little longer speaking with you both to learn more? It is just that....I feel as though I may learn something that will fill in the blanks. Though I understand that it's not easy to trust another but I accept that."
Amaterasu just wanted to learn and whether that meant learning the whole truth about the purpose of the divide then so be it. It wasn't right to be afraid or shy away from knowing something that was a curiosity. More than anything; what was she fighting for while her instincts said that she was meant to be a warrior?

Ajax body went limp as his father picked him up by his back scuff. Heavy little paws flopped carelessly on the ground before finding careful purchase. As he was set down his head started to shift in a little shake, before his father's tongue caught him swiftly at the brow.
Yuck!
The little cub's paw raised and wiped that slobber from his brow. Shaking it off, he gave a heavy huff at his father. His dark tail flicked behind him with a little spark. Flopping to his side, his paw raised and with a quick lick he wiped it over his maw and brow. His dark tail raised and flopped heavily on the ground, giving a soft 'thud'.
-- Adonis pulled his eyes from his son, as Amaterasu admitted not knowing of the true fire leader. Light ears perked and raised as the realization that all the newly woven, even just by a few weeks would not know who was on the throne, before it was empty and taken by another. How foolish him for not considering such a thing, that is one of the reasons why Shen had such a great following. The newer fire-kin, didn't know life to be any different.
Adonis gaze remained on the nahtil, and his expression turned serious once more...--- Sir Warden's maw slightly went agape, as he too was hit with the startling realization his uncle had just experienced. NO answer came from the younger as his eyes shifted to his leader.
Orange eyes looked to him, as his white horns turned with his head.
"..." Wordlessly he seemed to ask what Adonis' stern expression seemed to give evidence in contemplating.
Warden took a glance around to make sure they hadn't caught any other b'alam's attention. His tail shifted behind him and lowered to his side as if to give a signal of 'all clear'.--- "You may," The Elder smiled, however something in his eyes held the same seriousness he had approached the Nahtil with.
"but Is it something you truly wish to learn?" Adonis spoke with a small smile. "What I mean to say, is once you know of the past it might hinder what you could have possibly hoped for the future." The Elder stated calmly in fair warning. Such Knowledge was dangerous in this passing of time, but it was knowing that help dictated the way Naraan's clan functioned.
Such knowledge might be a curse for the Nahtil, as it wouldn't easily be forgotten.

The silence that fell over the Tahs made Amaterasu’s ears lower slightly in worry. The Nan was worried that she may have said something that was too honest, insulting if not foolish and may have over stayed her welcome. This wouldn’t be something she wanted to do including cause any harm or conflict. Even as the amusement that she felt when she watched little Ajax’s brow licked that mussed his bangs and he tried to put it to rights or at least remove any extra slobber as he seemed to have settled down…..
Expressions from the elder Tah went from softened to serious again as he looked at her and the slight opened maw from Sir made her a little more self-conscience of about what she said. Perhaps they were just waiting to politely dismiss her from here and from the area…or just to not approach them again. Amaterasu was ready to accept that and obey. After all it would be right to obey someone who had shown and given her respect in modeling that positive behavior.
Inhaling slowly then exhaling slowly the young Nahtil waited patiently for the answer that she hadn’t realized she hoped for when her whole being relaxed in relief. Standing straighter as if to show that her undivided attention was with this trio she nodded in understanding at the warning he gave. Of course that was something she was to expect. After all being blinded then finding out that she was doing things for the wrong reason would probably make her feel bad if not hurt her to the core and haunting. Yet if she knew just a fraction of the history, the truth then maybe, just maybe she may enter the military with a contemplative mind and if not be better at making decisions that will help everyone. Amaterasu did not aspire to be some military hero or to receive awards or anything of the sort.
The Nahtil knew that she was destined for that lifestyle as she needed and wanted to protect others. She wanted to be there for someone as she had the capability to feel no connection with anyone so there wouldn’t be any emotional distress. Amaterasu knew enough of that as again she never once made an attempt to form bonds of friendships with anyone and clearly she felt fine without them. Until now of course as she found this trio interesting to speak with, even just learning that it was okay to be yourself and respectful at the same time.
Visibly taking a deep breath, Amaterasu understood that what Adonis may say could alter how she saw her place here in the community and as a warrior. However it would be better to know and not be blind than to continue going with that blindness and do something that would be worse, something that she may regret such as agreeing with something that she didn’t verbally express personally. To allow others to dictate for her did not sit well with her.
Nodding to Adonis, she straightened up to look at the elder male respectfully. ”I accept your warning sir and am still willing to learn.”

The Larger cub tail shifted once more as he looked from his paw up to his family and the brighter Nahtil. Dark eyes shifted back and forth between them as their conversation seemed to slow down and become more....serious?
Dark ears tilted and turned with the shift of his head as it looked between the adults.
Their talking had seemed to turn in to something more important, as the tone lowered around them. Ears perked forward as his dark eyes bounced and scooped around, making sure he didn't miss the most important of details. His head bobbled and slowly shifted as a deep focus and counteraction took over his features.
Dark tail stilled behind him.
As his Father, Adonis spoke the cub's ear turned and his head turned to focus his gaze on him. Knowledge, hope, future?
The cub's head tilted once more. This was really important indeed. His father had been offering something, something that the Nahtlil had asked for?
Looking back to the brighter pelted Nahtlil, the cub quickly tried to piece what was going on around him. With the little scuffle with his father, he had missed what had been going on with the New Nah. Quickly his thoughts scolded himself, it wasn't a fitting excuse. He should have been playing attention. Now, he had missed what had been going on. Which meant now, he had to work hard to make sure he was caught up with what was happening.
Something he would have to work on to save less effort for the future. So his family will be proud.
--- Sir Warden's yellow eyes remained focused on their surroundings and on anyone or thing that might be in ear shot. Ears remained posed and maw focuses, while he kept a calm and relaxed damenour. White and black tail remained stilled and still poised in the sight of his Uncle's watchful field of vision.
A soft breath passed the younger b'alam's maw. His ears took in the Nahtlil's answer. Hearing such caused a smile to curl mindlessly on the Tahtil's maw.
She was wise, for being so 'new' to the world, she had desired to know more about it around her. Even if it meant...
--- "Even if it would be frown upon?" Adonis spoke, his expression remained unmoved by the Nahtlil's, Amaterasu's answer. The leader's tail remained still as he looked at the younger b'alam. She seemed like she was willing to learn...
Which was good, however it was still best to inform her...
If other's knew that she knew what he wanted to tell her they might look at her in a different way, or even treat differently.
Adonis and his family, had been established before their magus had left and was apart of Oni's army before there was even such a thing as 'strife' and 'fighting'. A time where the BlackSmith Forge's works were freely crafted and for only decoration...

The woven female stood there with a thoughtful expression at the question that felt as those it held a great deal of information to carry, a type burden that would bring about an awareness. An awareness that may prevent the veils of mistrust and dishonesty from clouding her mind and judgment during these times of strife. Amaterasu nodded as she understand the silence meaning behind the question as it came to her in a slow realization that by having this knowledge it will change everything for her. It will change how she looked at things and did them, it would change how she conducted herself as a soldier once that call of duty was signaled. It will change her future.
Amaterasu had to accept that responsibility.
Amaterasu had to accept that burden.
Just as she had to accept that others may treat her and look at her differently.....but that would only be possible if and only if, the Nan shared her awareness of that knowledge. The Nan lifted her chin in reaction to her mental discussion. Ama would not allow anyone to treat her any different but neither would she let anyone know that she knew exactly what was going on and why. For another she would rather die than tell anyone where she learned it. Or rather from whom. Clenching her jaw tightly as she looked down at the young cub with a wave of protection surging through her, Amaterasu nodded again with much more conviction and resolve.
"Yes sir. I accept the responsibility of learning. Just know that on my life, as young as it is, I pledge to let no one know of this knowledge and from whom I learned it from." Came the natural sworn-promise. "However, is it safe to know it here?" The female did not want to look around to make it obvious but she flickered her ears to hear for any movement and let her tail relax behind her to feel for any presence or movement behind her. Her eyes did look behind the males and at her peripheral but so far there was no one in sight.

Adonis purple and jaded gaze watched the Nahtlil careful. She seemed to be taking a thoughtful moment at the question he had persented to her. Yellow and white ears turned back, as his rested and serious expression remained on face and maw.
Good, that was very wise of her. It was more reassuring to see that she was at least taking a moment to consider what may happen in expanding her knowledge. Knowing the past was a powerful tool, even if it was serverly neglected by the masses. Though, he couldn't fault all the newly woven, they were ignorant, it wasn't their fault....
Yet...
Adonis took in a slow deep breath as the Nahtlil finally spoke. Yellow and white tail shifted behind him.
"No." The word left the Tahtill firmly, though softly. Violet eyes shifted to look at his nephew and then his son. A frown tugged as his maw, as his thoughts shifted to where they could go.
Hm, They could go back to their family training grounds....
Ajax had yet to complain about wanting to go home. He was such a trooper and good little cub. Though, he did seem to always like to go to the training grounds. Eyes moved from the cub to look back at Amaterasu, he hadn't need to worry about his nephew.
Still what motivated him to be so willing with such knowledge. Perhaps, it was the eagerness and her desire to want to know. It was impressive, and something so rare to see.
That and something told him, it was going to be 'alright', like as if the Weaver himself wanted her to know the past. Adonis felt he couldn't rob her of that....
"Sir Warden." Adonis spoke and turned his head to look at his Nephew, he gave a signaling nod. Eyes shifted back to at Amaterasu, slowly a smile slipped across his maw "lets show the Nan, the firm."----- Ajax's ebony ear turned as he felt the Nahtlil's eyes on him, even in that quick little moment. His dark little eyes shifted to look back at her. His head tilted a little bit, and his tail flicked behind him. What had she been looking at? It wasn't an off putting sight, it was just curious to see the look. It was a bit endearing, yet protective...much like how his aunt and own mother looked at him. Dark tail shifted behind him once more.
As his father looked at him once more, Ajax was quick to focus his attention back on his dad. Ears perked forward and his tail shifted a bit in a whip. A soft questioning trill left the cub. --- Sir Wardan's ear turned back as Amaterasu spoke once more. A little smile pulled at the corner of his maw, he knew she was adressing his uncle, however it was a nickname for him as well. Eyes remained focused on the curious Nahtlil. Still he was impressed with her willingness to know of the pass.
"Tah." Warden's ears flicked forwarded and he responded to his elder with a nod. "If you could," The Fire b'alm smiled, and his white and black tail lowered. "please follow us, Amaterasu."
White paws shifted and he turned himself to lead the way back to where they had just came. He didn't question his elder, Adonis was his superior and uncle. He knew what he was doing, and their training ground would be safe...

Amaterasu nodded slightly feeling a little bit of nerves now that she was being lead away to learn about the past of this tribe. Answers that plagued her would finally be laid to rest. Yet she knew in her bones that it will change her. Amaterasu was going to change once she entered the soldier's lifestyle but true to her vow; the Nan could not allow it to surface in a manner that would be dangerous for herself and others. No, if anything changed it would be her future of which was was willing to accept.
Bowing her head as she gave a slight nervous smile, hoping that didn't change the minds of these elder Tahs, he Nahtil moved her paws to follow Sir Warden, keeping her tail elevated from the ground just a bit as she calmed herself with slow and steady breaths. Now that she was going to learn the history of her tribe and understand the current state of affairs, it would allow her to have something that those who were recently woven like her didn't have.
It would allow her to have true roots to her tribe. While once Amaterasu had felt that she was destined to branch out of this community at some point in her life. Knowing that the only way that she would ever be ready to see the world, if Ama survived of course, is to have true roots with her birth tribe. It would be the one thing she needed in her whole life to come back to. The others may not want to know the reasons that they fought and if they were fighting for legitimate reasons. The others may not care so long as they are allowed to use their claws against their very own when it just didn't seem right to her that it should happen.
Weren't there others outside of the tribe? Different from them? Wouldn't those claws be better used to create their tribe and defend it from those different from their firekin? Now those were questions that needed to be answered....until then Amaterasu would take it at the foundation from Adonis and Sir Warden as they knew more.
