Sachi sat up after Daeron stood, though she was still hesitant to do so. She really just wanted to stay in the tent with him the entire day. After a moment, she got up and located her dress. Amazingly, it was still in one piece. That much couldn't be said for Daeron's tunic.
"I...Well, not really," she told him. She felt a few different marks on her body, her face reddening a little. "I actually want to keep them...to remember last night." She gave him a smile as she pulled her dress on. "Maybe just the ones that I can't hide." Once she was dressed, she turned to make her bed, setting the covers and pillows perfectly as she wanted them. That done, she noticed a strange heap of fabric in the middle of the floor. It took her a moment or two to recognize it; she giggled when she did.
"Oops...I think I tore your tunic," she said, picking up the pieces.

Daeron couldn't help a prideful smirk appear on his lips at the notion of Sachi wanting to keep her marks; he was going to do the same. He blinked at the sight of his tunic. "I think its more than torn..." He gave her an amused grin as he looked at the pieces. "It just gives me an excuse to get a new one." He kissed her on the lips and then returned to lacing up his boots. "Now, we just have to sneak back to my tent." He sighed. "I really don't wanna heal myself either..." He replied reluctantly as he grabbed her hand and proceeded to stick his head out of her tent to see if the coast was clear. He had to get back to his tent, which was near Glory. He really hoped they would avoid any awkwardness from her if she found them.

OOC: Impending catfight...lol
Sachi smirked at Daeron's comment. The tunic really was little more than garbage now, a rag to mop up blood. She took his hand as they left the tent. He was keeping a cautious eye out as they went toward his tent. They almost made it when someone walked out of a tent they just passed.
"Good morning, Ro--" Glory's voice halted the moment she caught sight of her brother and Sachiko. They were holding hands, and his back was covered in scratches. She spotted such marks reaching all the way up to his neck. Instantly, she felt viciously angry.
"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY BROTHER, YOU SNAKE?!" Glory shrieked out, leaping at Sachiko. Sachi let go of Daeron's hand and spun away, so Glory landed face down in the sand. She glared at the girl angrily, her hand drawing her knife. Being attacked sent her into a blind fury, and she didn't even care if this was Daeron's little sister, she was going to kill her.
"How dare you attack me, you little runt?" she asked, her blade coming down to the girl.
"Skolir," Glory growled out, the blade hitting her skin harmlessly. She threw a punch at Sachiko, and tried to claw her face. Sachi retaliated by grabbing a fistful of Glory's hair and yanking on it.

Daeron was happily sneaking off with Sachi when he heard a voice that he had been fearing to meet on this escapade. "Glory! NO!" He cried out the moment Sachi left his hand. He was utterly stunned! The two most important people in his life were now at each other's throats. He knew he had to stop them soon, or both of them may end up killing each other - and that he could not bear. "Sachi! NO! Glory!" Daeron quickly rushed to them, fear and worry in his eyes for the both of them. The teenager tried desperately to end the fight by jumping in between them and prying them apart, ignoring any wounds he might receive. "Stop it!" He yelled out, ignoring the crowd that was slowly gathering to see what was going on. "You two, Stop it!!!" Daeron's voice was commanding and filled with power as he was tempted to use magic to pull them apart.

Sachiko and Gloriann rolled around in the sand, kicking, clawing, biting, and screaming profanities at each other. They were so involved in their struggle that they didn't even notice Daeron attempting to pull them apart. Occasionally, Sachi would take a swing with her knife or Glory would utter a spell, but generally their confrontation was more like a no-rules wrestling match. Nearby, Sundavar gave a loud, threatening growl, very tempted to eat Sachiko whole for attacking her Rider in such a way. However, before anything worse could happen, a calm, commanding voice rang out.
"What is going on here?" Katriana asked, walking to the skirmish. The girls hardly paid any attention, continuing in their vicious scuffle. Katriana sighed in impatience. "Tyrant, Dorana," she called out to two fellow Shades, "Some assistance, please." Kat placed too much value on both the females to lose either of them. To have them fighting was rather...inconvienent. She knew they wouldn't stop their fighting until someone managed to pull them apart, and she knew Shades would be best equipped to handle the two of them. After all, they would be the least likely ones to mind the pain they might receive as collateral damage.

"Glory! Sachi! Stop!" Daeron continued to cry out, feeling like he was receiving most of the blows from the two fierce fighters. He felt Sachi's knife against his chest, but after what she did to him before, it didn't feel as bad. However, he did get knocked back by Glory's spell, sending him a few foot back as the girls continued to wrestle on the sandy floor. Grunting up, Daeron proceeded to get in between them again when a calm, powerful voice, alerted to him that there was now an audience. "Katriana." Daeron gulped. This was becoming more awkward now.
At the call of his name, Tyrant appeared by Katriana's side. "Oooo." He eyed the catfight with amusement. "And end this delicious scene?" He cooed out, his eyes leering as the two girls continued to scuffle. A low rumble was heard throughout the camp; Vanilor had growled out dangerously, even if he was on the otherside of the camp, he could hear everything through Kat and he did not like Tyrant's disobedience. "All right, all right." Tyrant sighed out, knowing that growl was directed at him. "Come here, dearie!" Tyrant opted to grab Glory by her waist, ignoring the scratches and slashes he received from both girls, pulling her away from Sachi while his fellow shade pulled Sachi off.
Once Sachi was cleared of Glory, Daeron immediately rushed over to her. "Are you okay?" He asked, eyes worried, ignoring his own wounds as he began to heal his lover.

Glory and Sachi continued to lunge at each other even as they were forcefully seperated by the Shades, struggling against their captors. However, their screaming died down a bit when they realized that Katriana was staring them down disapprovingly. Still, they couldn't cease their fiery glares at one another.
"I shall ask once again," Katriana said, more stern than before. "What is going on here?"
"That runt just attacked me!" Sachi shriek in anger, struggling against the Shade's grip again.
"That witch just hurt my brother!" Glory retaliated, kicking at Tyrant in an attempt to make him release her.
"Enough," Kat said. Both Glory and Sachi felt a heavy weight inside them at her gaze, knowing she was upset with them. "I cannot have my people fighting each other. We are all on the same side here." She sighed. This new infatuation Sachiko seemed to have developed with Glory's brother made everything much more complicated. On the other hand, this could be just the fuel she needed to make Gloriann's rage burn brightly enough. With some tweaking in its direction, the girl may finally be able to reach her potential as a Rider under the Shade Rider's command. She turned to Daeron, who had rushed to Sachiko to heal her.
"Daeron," she told him kindly in a low voice. "I suggest you move your tent. I wouldn't want more trouble to arise between your sister and Sachi. Glory can't afford to be distracted right now." She patted his shoulder. The bond between the young siblings could prove dangerous in the future. This way, she could subtling weakened this bond, eventually breaking it without either one noticing.
Then Katriana turned to the still outraged Gloriann struggling against Tyrant's grip. She gave a disapproving sigh and touched the girl's face. Glory didn't calm down at all, but the touch served as a conduit for Kat's influence.
"Poor, sweet Glory," Kat said. "Go about your training as usual. Instead of speaking with someone else today, I would like you to come talk to me." The Shade pulled back her hand in a hurry moments before Glory's teeth snapped over where it had been. "Tyrant, take her outside the camp and watch her until she calms down. Oh, and make sure she practices her magic today. She missed it yesterday."
Sachiko still growled at the sight of the red haired girl. One of these days, that little runt would pay for attacking her. No one got away with that. No one. But her fury lessened some when Daeron got in between her and Gloriann, healing her fresher wounds.
"I'm going to kill her," she replied to Daeron, her expression burning with a different sort of thirst for blood than she had held a couple of nights ago. Then, she had simply been desiring to inflict suffering, to hear anyone scream in pain. Now, now it was a thirst for the blood of someone in particular. One day, she would find that girl and rip her organs out by the fistful while she was still alive.

Tyrant growled out as Glory continued to fight against him. If he wasn't under Katriana's command, he would have strangled Marolasdaughter right then! He held her strongly as Kat came over and gave them both instructions. "All right, come on, spunky." He hauled Glory away to the other side of camp, eager to see if the girl would try anything. Kat wanted Glory to practice her magic? Well, maybe they could play a bit...and if Glory just happened to get wounded...well, that was her own fault right?
Tyrant dragged the fiery girl to the proper location and deftly dropped her. "Well, now. How about we put that anger into some good use, dearie?" Tyrant cackled as his hand chattered with electricity. "You do want to get better right? Maybe next time, you can actually beat Sachiko before Mummy comes and separates you two." Tyrant taunted the little girl.
***
Daeron glanced over at Katriana as she suggested him moving his tent. He nodded, but felt very guilty in doing so. He really wanted to be next to Glory, since she was his sister and they hadn't really talked, excluding yesterday. She was family. He didn't want to be too far. But then again, Kat was right. He was proving a distraction to her training, especially now that Sachiko was in the picture. He would do what Kat said, but perhaps, he could speak with Glory later and explain everything. He continued to heal Sachi, but froze at her words. "Sachi." Daeron looked at his lover, a pleading look in his eyes. "Please, don't. She's my sister. She just didn't understand the situation, okay? Glory's very protective of me and I her, but that does not mean I love you any less. I want all of us to work out, okay? So please, for me...just...don't kill her; I'll talk to her." His eyes were worried for all of them. "Please, Sachi." He had finished healing, and now, held her hands within his, begging her to forgive Glory; he couldn't stand if his two precious people tried to kill the other.

Glory continued to struggled against Tyrant as he dragged her away. Her anger seemed to increase when Sachi was out of sight. As the Shade deposited her on the sand, she screamed out her fury in a childlike tantrum. It wasn't until she heard the familiar crackling of Tyrant's electical spell that she became aware of where she was. She glared at him, taking several deep breaths. Then she glared at him with deadly serious eyes. This Shade annoyed her. She did not like him at all.
"Theyna," she told him. She stared at him for a long moment. "Istlari." She focused on manipulating the heat his own body was generating, sending it around his head, intending to catch his hair on fire.
~~~~~
Sachi stared at Daeron, his pleas resonating somewhere within her bloodlust. He somehow managed to affect her in a way no one else could.
"She...she attacked me," Sachi protested. "I can't just forgive that. I can't let her get away with it." She made a fist, digging her nails into her palm. The Shade released her then, leaving the lovers alone. Sachiko listened for a few moments longer. "All right...I'll do my best," she said uncertainly. Just the thought of the little red head made the anger return to Sachi's mind, the blood haze clouding her thoughts. But, she loved Daeron. And love meant sacrifice. Sachi knew this was one thing she would have to give up; otherwise, she knew she might break her relationship with Daeron forever.

Tyrant's eyes narrowed at he realized what Glory was doing when his lightening started to react against his will. "You really like to burn me, don't you? That's the second time!" He growled out. He uttered his spell, and regained some control over the sparkling light, but unfortunately, some of his hair did get singed. His head was smoking just a bit as he glared at Glory. "If not for Kat, I would kill you." He spat out, sending the lightening directly at her despite his words. He had the urge to shout out his hatred for her Mother, but that topic was off limits, as both he and Kat worried that might change Glory's views on their cause.
***
Daeron gave a visible sigh of relief. "Thank you, Sachi." He felt tremendous relief after she agreed that she would try to not kill Glory. That was really all he could ask, and for her, it was a lot - and it meant so much to him that she agreed. "Hearing you say that, means a lot to me." He kissed her, grateful for her agreeing with him. "I'll make it up to you, I promise." He told her as he took her hand and led her to his tent; he still needed a tunic. "We'll all become great friends, you'll see. I just have to talk to her." He assured Sachi, his tone hopeful.

Glory glared at the Shade, his words serving to anger her further. She watched as he moved to send the lightning toward her. "Deloi, risa," she commanded, raising the sand that surrounded the Shade. It was at its thickest in front of her, to stop any of the electrical current from reaching her. More sand made a dome around him. Glory was proud of herself; she was getting faster with her more simple spells.
~~~~~
Sachi smiled at Daeron uncertainly. She had told him she would try; she wasn't even sure if she would be able to keep that promise very long. She rarely had someone specific in her mind to kill, but when she did, she hunted them down and ripped them apart. Glory had such a mark in her mind, and trying to remove that was like trying to remove an ink stain from paper. But his happiness mattered more to her than her own desire for retaliation. She followed him softly into his tent.
"Did I...hurt you again?" she asked hesitantly, seeing a number of new wounds on his body. He'd been so intent on healing her that he'd ignored his own wounds. She sat down and put her face in her hands. "I did, didn't I?" Sachi became upset with herself. How many times was she going to hurt him? That wasn't right, something about it wasn't right, and it made that sinking feeling in her stomach return. She wasn't even sure what it meant, but it hurt to know she kept harming him.

Tyrant glared as his lightening was blocked by the sand that was now forming around him. He would not let this thing best him, no matter how quick she was improving. He let the sand in case him, shielding him from Glory before uttering his spell. The ground beneath him began to open below him and Tyrant soon disappeared into the hole and underground. Continuing his spell, Tyrant dug underground with uncanny speed - his destination Glory. Once he sensed her presence above him, Tyrant shot one hand out, intending to grab her and pull her into the ground, trapping her there whilst he escaped topside.
***
Daeron entered his tent and immediately went to a chest that he had received from someone in the camp to place his things in. He opened it and pulled out a fresh tunic. It was then he heard Sachi's hesitant, and ridiculous question. He furrowed his brow and instantly was by her side, kneeing in front of her. "Sachi..." His voice filled with compassion and love for this crazy, but lovely woman. "Hey...don't do that." He told her gently as she buried her face in her hands. His hands reached out, tenderly removing her hands so he could see her face. "I'm okay; it was accident." He tilted his head forward and upward so he could make eye contact with her. "Don't feel guilty because of an accident; I'm just glad that you're all right. I was scared when you got into that fight; I don't want to see you get hurt, Sachi." He told her, eyes expressing worry, but affection as well. "And look!" He added with some mirth as he pointed at his wounded chest, "it's not that bad, just a flesh wound; you know you gave me more painful ones last night - and I liked it." His expression changed to a devious one as his tone became teasing. He inched closer to her. "It's all all right." He assured her once more, leaning his face upward for a comforting kiss.

Glory sensed Tyrant was up to something as she released her spell. As the sand fell to the ground, she saw that he had disappeared. Instantly, she became wary, looking around for him. She paused for half a second when she felt a hand grasp her foot, pulling her downward. Furiously, she kicked her free leg in the direction from which she felt him rising. She was too annoyed with him at the moment to try to think of a spell.
~~~~~
Sachi met Daeron's eyes when he pulled her hands away. He didn't seem to mind the pain she kept causing him. That should have made her feel better about it, but it didn't. For some reason, it made her feel worse. She wrapped her arms around him as he kissed her. Love. Sacrifice. Endurance. Suffering. All these things collided in her mind, without allowing any sort of understanding for her. She would have to figure it all out later.
"If you're sure you're okay," she said. She kissed him again, feeling herself begin to burn again, but then Katriana came to her mind again. She pulled back hesitantly. "We...should probably go see about that mission Kat has for us," she said. She wondered briefly if the mission might be cancelled because of the earlier scuffle. She doubted it, though.

Tyrant laughed hysterically as he emerged and felt Glory kick him; he caught her leg easily as the sand simmered off of him. "My my, you must work on your physical strength, Glory; I didn't feel a thing." He smirked at her. "Kat would not be happy if your only focusing on magic." He teased her, his red eyes patronizing and annoyed. One of his hands slid up her leg seductively, trying to unnerve her as he once did with her Mother. Glory would be such a fun thing to play with. "or are you purposely trying to get in contact with me?"
***
"I'm sure." Daeron assured Sachi again, feeling that electrifying spark again. He smiled against Sachi's second kiss and was nearly about to pull her toward him and onto the ground when she parted from him. His eyes, glazed, refocused on her just as she was uttering her hesitancy. He sighed, and gave her a reluctant nod. "Yes, we shouldn't be late; I think we annoyed her enough today." He glanced back at Sachi, his eyes hungry, and debating. Daeron sighed again. "I hope we have some free time tonight..." Daeron alluded as he parted from Sachi and placed his shirt on, but not before healing his chest of his fresh wound. "Let's go." He gave her his best smile, but in the back of his mind he kept reminding himself that he needed to see Glory - soon.

Glory was thrown a bit off balance when Tyrant caught her leg. She threw a fist at him as he taunted her, infuriated. She was working hard in every area of her training, physical strength included! But...it wasn't enough. She knew Katriana would be unhappy with her slow progress. She needed to do better.
Her punch missed by a long shot as she was suddenly distracted by a sensation in her leg, a feeling that made her heart pound and her face turn red. It was the way Tyrant's hand as slithering upward. His next words also caught her off guard.
"I...What are you talking about?" she asked him, annoyed and suddenly confused. She was so intent on hearing his answer that she stopped struggling for a moment.
~~~~~
Sachi felt the burning intensify under Daeron's starving gaze. Sometimes she wished Kat wasn't so important to her. Still, she had her duty. Still, she smiled at his expressed hope.
"I would love a little free time tonight," she told him. She took his hand as they went out to find Katriana.
The Shade Rider sat with her dragon, waiting. Her mind was working its usual pace, with no panic whatsoever about the fight between two of her most important underlings. Scuffles broke out among her people all the time. The only difference with this was the status. Sachiko was a valuable asset, able to recruit others to their cause or destroy a village almost single-handedly. Gloriann was to be a model Rider for her, a prodigy of destruction. With a little manipulating, she could be the most important Rider among her followers, simply because of her connection to her enemies.
Kat's eyes narrowed slightly as she watched Sachiko approach, hand in hand with Daeron. The boy was for the most part cannon fodder to her. He was nothing special, but for the fact that he was Glory's brother. That had given her some leverage with the girl. However, Kat had seen more opportunity with him when she noticed Sachi's infatuation. It was subtle at first, but it did not escape the Shade's watchful eyes. She'd even seen two nights ago when Sachi had asked to hurt Daeron. So, the girl had a human side after all. Kat had immediately looked for ways to use this to her advantage. Sachi was likely to be even more ruthless if her dear Daeron was put in danger.
"Ah, Sachiko. Daeron, it is good to see you both." She gestured for them to come closer. "A situation has arisen in a nearby town. A small, quaint little place. But they have been actively attacking us with their words." She closed her eyes for a moment, as if barely concealing her anger at the thought. "I would like you two to spread our message to them. And if they continue to defy us...Well, Sachi, you do what you do best, and let Daeron follow in suite."
