Kyle held his ground in the middle of what once was a respectable fighting ground. His head held high and his posture gave him the appearance of an unmovable block of ebony and steel. The armor along his paws and head glistened in the late morning sun. His troops had already left to carry on with their days. It wasn't enough training in his opinion, but he couldn't have them passing out on him. None of them had impressed him. They may have been decent, but not one of them was great...

The day had already started as Adonis lead his Son, Ajax to an old and almost forgotten arena. The Cub was a bit upset that he had not gotten to do his morning training, it was a daily ritual for them. However, today Adonis wanted to the cub to conserve his strength, for if everything went right-it meant that he would have a new teacher. Crucible was great and had taught the growing cub well, however-as skilled and fast as she was, a Tahtll's Strength wasn't something she possessed. With Ajax's growing body, and being at the eve of adult horns, Adonis wanted him to know the true strength of a Tah.
The lone shadow that stood silently in the arena drew closed as Adonis approached the stoic guardian.
"Fire Burn with in you, Tah." Adonis spoke boldly to the figure head as he drew closer. White and yellow tail remained raised proudly behind him as his periwinkle eyes rested on the dragon before him. As he stopped the elder let his tail rest and tipped his horns respectfully to the soldier.
----
Ajax as always fallowed his father, as they traveled to a familiure-yet forgotten arena. A huff left the adolescent as his growing black form made his father's shadow as his heavy black paws trotted along side him. Ajax had gotten bigger his odd miss match body was starting to even out. His coat was becoming sleeker and more course. Taking a glance to his father, Ajax took his eyes from the path before him. His dark ebony tail flicked behind him but remained respectfully lower then his Father's. Ajax was a proud b'alam, however unlike some in his clan, he did know his place. The adolescent knew something was up, and wondering what his father was planning-he only said that they where going to do 'something different' today, and that he was going to need his strength. What ever that meant, it's not like he was going to get a new teacher-Crucible was the best.
looking back ahead of him, Ajax blinked as the obalisk of a b'alam was caught by his dark eyes. Was that lone figure always there?
As the two of them drew closer, Ajax fallowed his father and spoke his own greeting. Lowering his head and he respectfully tipped his horns to the warrior.

Kyle remain still has the two approached. He can feel their spirits as they approached. The statue held his head high even as he turned around to face the oncoming company. They would each earn a bow once they were proven worthy of it. "And if you can bare it, may it be with you as well". His response came mechanically. Almost immediately who is burning yellow eyes filled to the young following after his father. For a moment they narrowed. What could this one possibly want with the cub? Kyle turned his attention to the father with his eyes still narrow. " You are not in my battalion, what business do you have with me?"

"Thank you, Tah." Adonis spoke not expecting a bow in response. The yellow adult knew where he stood on the battlefield with this Tah. That being said he was going to offer him the same respect to him as he would anyone else-if not more.
"I am Adonis, of the Naraan clan." The older b'alam introduced himself.
"and this is my own carved, Ajax." He add as he offered a tilt of his horns to his son.
"I am not apart of your battalion, but we are brothers in horns. I am of the older units the ones that had worked directly under our General, before our Fire Lord Shen Lung took control of the vacant Throne." The b'alam when on to explain.
" I have no business with you, but only a favor to ask if you." Adonis spoke, being quick to state his reason for meeting the powerful b'alam.
"You seek strong Horns to aid you in battle. You will find such potential in my son, he is naturally strong and has had training in the old arena since the day he was first awoken. However he has yet to clash horns with someone as strong as you, or understand the power that we of Fire and Tahs possess." Adonis was honest with his brother in horns.
---
Ajax stood diligently and silently next to his father as he looked upon the larger b'alam before him. His dark ears remained perked as he listened intensely to the words that where spoken between Tahs. He remained quiet, respectfully not stating his thoughts as the adults were talking. Ajax knew he had yet to earn his horns to speak to another solider and leader in the army without being addressed .
Dark tail twitched a little behind him as his dark eyes remained on the power warrior in front of him. Wordlessly he was sizing him up, wondering what kind of edge he could get-it had been getting easier to over power his Teacher Crucible as he grew, however such thing would not be easy to do with this wall in front of him. He would have to relay more on the skill he was taught-which admittly with his larger size, he had not been using as of late...there was
No need to do so.

"Your position in the old regime means nothing. It is a symbol of an emperor who had filled his own people, for the future it would be best to find something else to lean on." Kyle held his eyes on the adult for a moment before turning to the young cub again.
The tip of his tail twitched a brief moment.
The cub did have a good stance, he seem strong. The father did not seem weak in the least, in fact he seemed very formidable fighter. However, Kyle was not one for pleasantries or for much talk. If somebody had a title to their name, he would want to see it in action. Truth be told, everyone knew how the old regime filled and caused this war. It was why Shen was in power now. Any ties to the old military was a sign of failure as far as he was concerned.
"And why should I fill this request of yours? On what grounds do you think you have to make such a request? I have a full battalion to direct and be ready for battle, one cub May just get in my way. What makes you think that this deserves my time?" The questions were not pointed toward inside, but true inquiries. Spoken without a single wavering in his voice or blink in his eye.

Adonis only smiled to the soldier as he spoke of what should be leaned on. Adonis didn't find it important to defend himself and waste the time in proving he stood on his own four paws, as well did all his sons. After all it was only an introduction, he didn't need to defend his status.
"You have no reason to, and I have none." Adonis spoke simply.
"Yes you are vary busy, Tah and your time is important." The elder offered a nod of understanding. "I was only hoping to aid in my son's flame growing brighter so that he may be of some use to the tribe, and Lord Shen." He added.
"Cubs are our future and many flames have grown dim and where woven dimmer." The elders stated.
"if you find him lacking, do as the fire lord and cast him aside. If you even find him worthy of even that." Adonis spoke with a little sway of his tail. It's not like this proud worrier had a lot to work with as of late....
--
Ajax's quiet eyes remained focused and pinned on the warrior. Sharp tempered claws slowly unsheifed themselves and dug into the ground.
The cub couldn't contain himself to stop a tame smile from stretching across his maw as he looked up to this leader. He was getting excited with even the idea of clashing horns with this behemoth

"… So the curb follows on the back of his father's ambition?" Kyle only side glance to the cub as he spoke.
"If I have no reason, then there is no point in wasting time." Kyle tipped his head upward.
Things have not been busy as of late, but a waste of time was nothing different even when there was nothing to do. The soft scraping of the Cubs claws caused Kyles years to twitch subtly and angle slightly downward. Still he held his eyes on the adult keeping out of the sound of the cub beside him. The scraping of claws was a good sign. It meant the young lad was eager.
"Lord Shen would not want his generals to waste their time either."

Adonis' ears perked at the mention of his own ambition resting on his son's back. The Elder only smile. "Of course not, He has his own. His own ambition is greater then my own. As the tips of my horns are his tail. He is only being respectful and not speaking it Tah." Adonis explained. Perhaps when this great Warrior becomes a father one day he would understand that his great height and ambitions should only be just a starting point for any cubs he might have in the future. If that is the path he chooses....if he survives.
"Of course, Tah. Excuse us then." Adonis spoke with a nod. " Thank you for your time. We will let you get back to standing in a barren arena. We know how important your time is, and standing alone idly in a forgotten relic must be a grand task."
"Ajax." Adonis spoke and looked to his Son. " Let us return to the Brawl Leader, there is still has much she has to teach you. Perhaps we can ask if you can meet the Master."
---
Ajax didn't cast his eyes from the Powerful Tah before him. His maw only grew in more of a smirk. His dark tail flicked and swatted behind him.
"Yes, Father." The adolacent answered, as his eyes remained on the solider. The Naraan Clan did not beg. A dark ear turned toward his dad as he spoke about the fabled Brawl Master. No one accept from the leaders knew who they where, but if there was a chance he could meet this b'alam it would be far better then to train under this soldier. Ajax knew nothing of this Dragon Warrior other then the respect his father seemed to have for him. Which was weird....well, maybe not-His dad respected everyone, unless they proved otherwise.

GunSniper:
"Silence is not always a sign of respect." Kyle spoke without a change in his tone.
"I see no ambition here, only cowardice. Be gone then, seek out your battle master." He continue to watch them, refusing to turn his back or allow his ground to waiver. The cub seemed just as spineless as the father, walking away without so much as a sign that he desired to pursue his own ambition. The father's words are hollow in Kyle's mind. If the Cubs ambition was greater than the fathers, then the father must have the ambition of a pathetic speck of dust. The discarded skin particles of another. This would not do well in his army. This was a disgrace to their Lord.

Adonis turned and gustured for his Son to do the same. Foolish words where not something that easily rose the hairs of the Elder.
Ajax, released a breath and turned with his father. Dark tail shifted behind him and he started to take a few shared paces with his father. Chipped and scaved horns turned with his head as he looked to the yellow and white b'alam beside him. He had always trusted his father's decisions, he did know best...
However, the other B'alam's words rang harshly in his ears. Cowardice?
Dark tail flicked behind him, in a defiant twitch. The black sleek fur on the back of his neck slowly started to raise, and his tail puffed ever so slightly. In a instant the older cub, turn himself in a hop.
Sharp obsidian claw scored the ground as Ajax kicked strong against the ground.
The sigh, that left his father went unheard as black battle torn horns angled downward and ears angled back. Large heavy paws thundered against the ground as Ajax charged toward the Dragon Soldier.

[
Kyle watched the cub closely, the fur slowly starting to rise on the Cubs back pulled at the corner of Kyle's mouth.
He did have his own ambition! It was not long before the grin on his lips widened and his eyes brightened. This was what he wanted to see. Not a cub disobeying his father, but a young warrior making a choice. He knew what he wanted. Respect. As the young warrior charge forward, Kyle lowered his armored head to oppose the opponent. His own silvery claws raked at the chard earth in anticipation for a fight.
Yes, this young warrior he would train.

Adonis released a sigh, and turned himself to watch his Son charge toward the season Warrior. He wasn't concerned, they where of Fire and his Son was forging his own path. That was good, as for harm? That was apart of War.
Flicking his tail, Adonis lowered his hunches to a sit and let his hind rope curl around his paws. His son may have not be fully grown, but he was well trained.
As the Dragon Solider tilted his head down, Ajax's body lept to the side and with a leap he thrusted his horns at the side of soldiers head and neck. His whole body threw himself in the effort of making himself a fleshie ram. He had yet to be trained on his straighten-but Crucible did teach him about agility and how to move in battle. He was still a little smaller then a full grown Nantill, moblity was on his side.

Kyle watched as the cub adjusted for a sideways assault. Using his own head and neck as a weapon he swung counterforce against the cub tilting his head slightly so more of his skull was used as a battering ram. The young one may not have been at full strength, but he was very quick. There was not as much mass to move around. Kyle knew he could not out maneuver the little one, he could only overpower him.

As Contact was made, Ajax's chin and side of his maw took most of the impact. Large paws tried to dig themselves on the Tah, however the action only gained a loud 'Screeching' sound as his nail tried to dig into the metal that guarded the Tah's face.
Sight faded slightly, as the impact threw the cub off to the side and in to the dust of the Arena.
Agility and instinct kept Ajax upright as his paws slammed into the ground. His sight still faded, the cub leapt once more into actions. He could see the black smug that was his target in blurriness of his gaze. That was enough, and he wanted the upper paw of not letting his opponent reset.
Claws remained out as he leapt for his Opponent's back. Maw opened wide and claws outstretched as he leapt for his pray.
(Adonis: 825
Ajax: 964)
