Costia flinched slightly and felt his gaze on her, she hoped she didn't say or do anything wrong. She looked to him and gave him a nod with a uniformed "Yes sir." before keeping quite. She knew that if they kept everything in check and everyone kept in order that things would not be so rough between the 2 clans, but she knew there had to be something, it was a given in situations as such and she only hoped it would be small. She watched as Heda lead her horse through the gates and stopped just inside of them, only bring her second with her and the warriors stood outside and waited. Heda had a look on her face and she couldn't help but wonder what the blood was, oh how curiosity ate her about anything this clan did. She wondered if her Commander had noticed it yet and what he was thinking as the beast she sat atop on came to a stop.Her eyes moved to the West Clan warriors behind her. The people that were told to scare the children into behaving and to do as they are told, the people who now where to stay just outside their walls....

--------

Lexa watched as a gate was opened and she glanced to Marcus giving him a look to join her in entering. She kicked the stallion into a walk and he snorted angrily as he looked around as he walked in a sort of energy filling him, thinking it was a time for battle but little did he know that for now it was not. She pulled her beast to a stop and tossed her leg over the horse and landed on the ground with a soft thud, she internally winced feeling some stiches from her wound rip from the action but she brushed it away and hide it all before anyone would be able to notice. Lexa rested her hands on the hold of the sword that was strapped to her hip and stopped a little ways in front of Leon.

"It will only take a short while for my Warriors to set up camp. We will be able to begin training today and have a meeting tomorrow. I ask nothing for you we have everything that we need. I do ask we be aloud to enter and train somewhere outside, I will split my warriors into a half and switch the group's off just to bring in smaller amounts until your people get better." She began her words rolling from her mouth smoothly. Thought this was not her clan she made sure not to order him what they could do but only offered it as a suggestion of what they could do. She could feel all the walls eyes on her but it didn't faze her the least as she looked to Leon and awaited to see what he was to say.

Lexa was content to hear that his people where ready to train right away. She could feel the vibe from Marcus, who was behind her, as he made sure to have an escape plan if needed. She nodded and glanced around the area for a quick moment before moving graze back to Leon. "It's decided then. We will set up and I will return in a short while. I do ask of you to be here when I enter so I can show you what we are to do and accomplish." Lexa gave a nod before she turned an walked back to her horse. She tossed her leg over the horse and pulled back on the reins as she kicked her horse to a trot out of the gates and lead her people to the right and around the walls.

"Set up camp here. My camp is to be in the center and I want torches leading to the tent entrance. Now get to work we have things to do today." Lexa called to them as she pulled her horse around and faced her people. Many where men but there where a fair amount of women who where in the group. She watched as they soon began to work on setting up the camp.

------

Costia watched as Lexa dismounted and approtched them, suggesting a plan that could occur. She stood quite next to her commander as she spoke and they soon agreed on terms before Lexa took off out of the walls soon disappearing with the cold hearted warriors that followed her. Costia turned her head and looked to Leon, "I will be sure to nodify you of anything that is out of place sir. Also did you see the blood on her face.." Costia asked the last part softy as she looked back to the gates. She had hers of what it means when they had it on an she had been trying to find out as much as possible about them. Chills ran through her body as she glanced back to her commander.

Costia gave her Commander a nod of agreement not wanting to think about it much more wither cuz it only made her stomach cringed slightly. She turned her head as he called for a guard and he approached them. Costia nodded as she turned to Tavio and they were soon off to go warn their own head trainers of the arrival of the West Clan. Before she knew it it was time, she could feel a group of the West Clan heading for the gates and she arrived at the entrance in search for her Commander knowing he would have to be there since the West Commander asked for his presence.

"Do you wish for me to join you sir as the West Commander leads you through what they will do during training?" She asked her Commander as she approached him, finding him in almost the same spot she left him in. She turned her head seeing a group approach the gates and then stood still waiting for them to be opened.

------

Soon everything was in place, tents were where they needed to be and the things that needed to be done where complete. Lexa called the warriors and separated them into two groups and told them to have their weapons but keep them sheathed as she waved them with her towards the gates. "Marcus! I need you to join me and assist me in evaluating the ones that are going to start training today." She said as she approached the gate again for the second time and stopped. She knew there would be many more times she would have to enter the place she hated most but she knew that it was the only way to accomplish what they were after...

Costia moved her gaze to his hand as he signaled her, and she gave a nod in return. She had always had a weapon on her, or near by just in case it was needed. Costia had learned the basic signs at a young age, even before she began to speak the common language. Learning most from a young age, when she was appointed second in Command the rest of the signs almost came naturally to her and she soon learned each one carefully. She could tell that Leon was still nervous and unsure about the West Clan Commander, which was normal to any creature to walk the planet. With people such as her you have to be careful for they are unreadable and impossible to control or reject.

-----

Lexa turned her head and watched as he approached her knowing what she needed. "I have split the warriors into 2 groups, not ordered in any way just for them to trade off during the morning and evening trainings with the East Clan. I want you to pick out the best of ours on fighting and pair them with the ones that have the most chance in the East Clan. We will work on them and soon have them training with their own people." She said as she looked up to the guards at the gate they stood in front of and soon began to open one of them allowing access inside to the camp.

Lexa walked through the gates, alone at first and approached the other Commander. Once she was in ear shot he called to her and said he wanted to star soon, his voice almost as if he was trying to mock her, like he didn't know who she was. Her narrow gaze stayed on Leon, "Miya. (Enter/Come.)" She Commanded to her people who were waiting just outside the gates. She waited for the group to come up behind her before she moved her cool gaze around the still area. "Then let's begin.." She said her voice chilling and sharp as she began to walk in the direction where she saw a small gathering of people who looked like their next victims...trainees...

------

Costia stood next to her Commander her hands rested on her hips close to her weapon as Heda approached them and her Commander spoke up. She could tell that the tone of his voice bugged Heda and she did her best not to hold her breath as she soon began to walk away from them towards the direction where their students were waiting to learn from their teachers.

She followed after her and watched as Heda's gaze traveled over the people who where in a single file line waiting for her arrival. She watched curiously as the Commander seemed to access each individual for a brief moment before she waved her second over to get his input. Their conversation was quite and unable to be understood from her distance.

Lead was looking in front of her as Marcus spoke but out of the corner of her eye she watched as the other Commander sighted to a guard. The language of the East Clan, she knew each clan had their own way of communication but she thought theirs odd. She turned her head and looked to Marcus with a nod. She turned towards the East clans chosen trainees and cleared her throat. "Each early afternoon you half will train here. But today is about observing and you may get to attempt towards the end. Training is twice a day and if their are any problems or concerns you have you are to come to me before your Commander. I am in charge of you while you learn with my own, you are to listen to them and do as your told under training circumstances. If you are caught slacking or screwing off you will be meet with a punishment, is that understood." She spoke looking to all of her people who seemed to cower under her gaze. She looked over her shoulder to Leon. "Shall we begin?" she asked her voice cool her eyes and face lacking sign of any emotion.

Lexa turned her back to the ones behind her and looked to the other commander as he spoke to her people. Her gaze was nor soft or narrowed she just watched as he addressed her people. "Let us do remember what comes of good training are bruises and minor cuts if a wrong reading or move." She reminded lightly as she looked around at the group of people and watched as his second, known as Costia, and a follow guard lead them in the direction of the training area where they would soon begin...

-----

Costia's attention was caught when her Commander spoke to her. She had been a light thought as both Commanders spoke to each other's people going over the rules and things. She cleared her through and gave a nod to her Commander as she began to walk the group towards the village clearing where the vigorous hours of training would start. Before getting to far from her commander she turned around to face him and with a few signs asked if she was going to be training with them as well. She wouldn't be okay with it but what has to be done she will not hesitate to do. Her eyes stayed on him as the walked away waiting for his answer.

***Time Skip***

A long day of riding and training. Without a wink of sleep in between all the past major events in the past days. Today went well, she helped the East Clan practice and brought to their attention the good and bad things each of her own fighters did. She was finally starting to think that this might be possible, this may turn out okay but she wouldn't bet anything on it. She sighed and continued with her time alone to herself. Lexa was walking just outside her clans set up the night was cool and it was raining. She had her boots and jeans on followed by a black bando covering her chest but nothing else. Her long hair was wet and dripped down her body as her cool gaze looked around. The dried blood remained on her face only a little seemed to smear from the rain. She looked up to the sky as the rain drops dripped off leaves and down to the ground. All was quite around the soft sound of rain joining with the leaves filled her ears but all of a sudden she felt a sharp unexpected pain in her side where her wound she received yesterday was...

The wound on her side was reopened and enlarged by a blade and she gasped as her lungs tried to cooperate. She pulled her self together and was about to whip around and attack who ever had done such a thing but it was to late a blade was pressed against her throat, warm from the blood that had just came from her side. "Oh the great Commander stand before me with a knife to her throat. Once your dead my Commander will take over and rule this land...." the man's voice was cool and he ment business. She stayed still and quite making sure not to move. "Any last words oh great one." He growled over the pelting rain. Lexa clenched her jaw feeling him press the blade to her throat drawing some blood. "Just remember that you caused the death of all of the East Clan." she said softly and grabbed his hand with the blade at her throat and flipped him over her shoulder taking the black blood covered blade and pulled him to his feet and pushed the blade to his throat, "You shouldn't put it off so much and should have killed me when you had the chance." she hissed loudly and began to drag him to the gates, her bare side dripping black liquid.

Lexa was fuming as she walked towards the gate. "Open the gate!!!" She yelled and the guard realised what was going on and didn't hesitate to let her in. The rain pelted her bare skin and her body was wet as she walked to their capital building and walked in angrily and with a glare a guard appointed her in the direction of where their commander was. She walked to the door and kicked it open raging into the room and stood a little ways in front of the door. "This is an act of war!" she yelled angrily and lifted her foot and slammed it into the back of the man's right knee making him fall to the ground. She grabbed a handful of his hair and ripped his head back holding the knife to his throat. She looked at the man, "Do give me the pleasure to add all of the blood from every person of this clan to the two already soon my face." she snapped and pressed the blade to the smirking man's throat.
