[i][u][b]Dojo Arena, Underworld simulation, 8:00 AM[/b][/u][/i]
*The sky in the arena is dark; Darker than it is outside, which is already pretty dark from the sun being hidden by the clouds and mountains surrounding the Dojo. Inside the arena Mortar fights a familiar hooded figure, one who has been seen by many of the elder members. She wears a brown leather hood over her face to prevent her identity to be seen, and wields two daggers, one an icy blue color, seemingly giving off a soft blue glow, the other a greyish brown color, small embers dotting the outside of it. Punch after punch, stab after stab, they don't seem to be stopping anytime soon.*
*That is, until someone runs into the arena, puffing slightly when he finally stops*
Man: Mistress Cyan... We have a problem.
*The woman quickly hears the man and ducks when Mortar throws a punch at her, then flips him over her, sending him into the dusty ground under him*
Woman: Hold up Mortar. What is the problem Elliott?
Man: Well... How can I put this... You know the stories you told us of the guards that chased you throughout your life because your father thought you were getting too strong?
*The woman suddenly stops in place. Her eyes widen under her hood and her face grows slightly paler*
Woman: Yes, I'm well aware of them...
Man: Well, uh, they just came through and killed no less than twelve members last night.
Woman: Of the Dojo or the Exiled?
Man: Exiled, ma'am.
*The woman quickly looks at Mortar before turning back to the man*
Woman: Call the Exiled here. They want war? We'll give them it.
*The man nods and he runs out, still puffing slightly*

[i]serenity walks up and recognizes the both them she has Keira tailing in her cat form. When serenity stops walking. she jumps up on her shoulder and serenity just glances her.[/i] "Hi guys whats up"says serenity "What wrong"says Keira
-
*Mortar turns and smiles when he sees her* Mortar: Hey Serenity. Hey Kiera. Cyan: Hey Serenity. Who's the cat? *Cyan delivers a warm smile despite the news she just got*
-
"Thats is Keira"says serenity "Hi there its nice to meet you miss"says Keira [i]keira jumps down and stands next to serenity.[/i] "Oh and im not a cat at least not all the time"says Keira
-
Cyan: Nice to meet you Kiera. Well, it'd be great if you were able to see me in better spirits, but I've... Gotten some sour news
-
"Well is anything i can help with?"says Keira "Yeah lets go"says serenity
-
Mortar: Kiera, maybe. But Serenity, I'm not so sure. I mean, these guys... Cyan: Guards of the Underworld that have hunted me for millennia. Mortar: Yeah, that. They are really powerful and I don't want anything to happen to you, especially because they have hunted countless dragons, and you have kids to raise... *He seems very concerned. Both about Serenity and the guards*
-
"Hey what about that one mean green dragon thats related to her cant she help?"asks Keira "What willow why would she help i mean i have seen her around but i dont know about her..."says serenity
-
Mortar: I Dunno. Last Time i saw her ISIC chased her away.
-
"I seen her though recently but she didn't see me though cause i was hiding"says Keira
-
Cyan: You have? Where is she?
-
"I seen her the in woods to the west she was hunting the last time i seen and i seen her there like a day ago so she might still be prowling around near there"says Keira
-
Cyan: that's good. Mortar: no it's not, she'll never help us. Cyan: Shush Mortar, I'm thinking
-
"Couldnt we try though i could ask her since she really doesn't know me"says Keira
-
Cyan: nonononono. I have a better idea. Instead of asking her, can't we lure the guards to her?
-
"Yeah that could work but someone got to piss off willow enough so she attacks them or someone could do that though"says Keira
-
Well, a lot of people scrambling around in her hunting place, yelling unknown words... Wouldn't that piss her off?
-
"Probably will though but if that doesn't work aim for her snout when she in dragon form its sensitive and smarts like hell when it gets hit"says serenity "Why are you telling me this?"says Keira "Cause your the only one that knows where she is and pretty sure you could encourage her to attack them by doing that."says serenity
-
Mortar: Yeah. Plus since you're the stealthy one I might have a weapon that can do the job
-
"Alright then it should be easy then"says serenity "Yeah it should be but you guys will know when she coming cause im gonna make her very angry then"says Keira "Oh and just a fair warning she's a poisonous type dragon dont let her bite you , or get stabbed by her spines on her tail and more importantly if she breathes out a mist dont breath in"says serenity "Well thats good to know that and kinda figure that cause i seen her eating poisonous plants the other day. But thanks for the heads up"says Keira
-
Mortar: Well to be honest that's not a problem for me. You'd be surprised what a third lung full of fungus can do for filtration.
-
"Interesting so when do wanna do this"says Keira "Huh i didn't know you had fungus in your lungs"says serenity
-
Cyan: Tomorrow. By then we'll have the full plan. Mortar: Well it's a third smaller lung. It's kinda weird to talk about
-
"Okay well then we wait then but i should probably see where she is so i know where to duck into if she comes after me too"says Keira "Well okay then"says serenity
-
Cyan: Thanks Kiera. *Mortar just nods when she says that*
-
"No problem well im gonna go see if i can find her if im not back in like two hours she probably got me cornered "says Keira [i]with that Keira dashes off towards the west heading towards the woods in search of willow. Serenity watches her run[/i] "Damn she's fast you think she will find her?"says serenity
