Lethe smiled. "Well aren't you the ever curious one." He teased him. "I told you we're not that organized as of yet. nor do we have adequit numbers for it." He Stood and walked to the map hanging over an alter-like bar. "Our first strike isn't a strike at all." He said evasively. "We've pplaced spys and solders in precarious positions within all major centers of power in all four territories and now..." He smiled. "We wait." He looked over his shoulder. "Don't be so impacient." He chastized. "Thats how wars are lost and armies irradicated."

John eye brows furrowed as he studied the map."I know Lethe but....... I've noticed some of the men getting ummmmmm restless."He crossed his arms behind his back and started pacing."You could say their catching cabin fever. I don't know if your spies have told you this or not but I thought you should know."John saluted and walked out of the tent."Oh and Lethe, I'll be ready when you need me."And with that he began his patrol around the camp as it started to rain."Ugh damn rain."John lit a cigerate and began to smoke calming his nerves.

Leena saw John leave the tent and then light up. She stroled in his direction, stopping a few feet away. "You don't need to know the big picture." She told him a little rudely. "You only need know your own part." She eyed him steadily, getting a little wet in the light drizzle that was bound to increase. "Too many solders falter with to much information. that and when they are captured it could ruin us." She didn't usually explain herself but sighed at his insistance. "Just know that we're stabalizing our entrance into the cities and steadily gaining base ops in each territory." She pushed her now dripping black hair out of her face, revealing her childlike eyes that seemed to somehow understand everything. You could practically see the maze of possibilities that lit her eyes as she described their opperations. She really loved her work. "Your curiosity makes me happy as well does your allegence, but you must stay quiet a bit longer." She glanced at the men. "We've noted that the people here are getting restless. that is why you were asked here." She looked back up at him. "You need to get them focused on training and prep, if we're ever to be ready for conflict with the cities."

John took a quick drag of his cigarette."Don't worry I can keep quiet Leena."He stopped walking and put his cigarette untop of his ear so he could speak more easily."And I'll try my best to keep them busy, I could use Simmer's help with it if you could spare her......... I know some training exercises that will keep the men in shape, and keep them out of your hair."He stopped his monologue and looked her in the eyes."You don't mind if the men spar do you? I'll make sure they don't rough each other up bad enough that they cant follow their orders."

Leena bit her bottom lip. "I don't care if they 'rough eachouther up'." She amended. "But please remind them that this camp is to remain secret and not to bring attention to it." She looked about the camp. "And tell them not to use any of their powers..." She looked at John and pouted, lokeingly. "I do wish to keep things at least a little neat around here. I mean we just got them to stop openly attacking easchother as it is." She spun around but stoped and without looking back sighed. "You must ask Simmer yourself. But I warn you she's not at all keen on humans." With that She left and reentered her and her brother's tent.

John nodded to Leena."Alright boss."He continued to do his rounds as the storm began to get worse.'When is this storm going to end?'He thought to himself. John walked by a group of men that were going about their business."Go inside of your tents boys, It's almost night and the storm is getting worse...... Don't want cassulties before we even see combat do we?"The men nodded and walked back to their tents.
John finished his rounds around the camp and went back to his tent. Lightning was beginning to crash all around the Valley. He walked inside of his tent and laid down on his cot listening to the sound of the rain hitting the top of his tent, and the sounds of distant thunder crashes. He quickly fell asleep.

Lethe shook his head as He took in the drenched state Leena was in. He knew she loved it but this was a little much. Leena smiled coughed and strode to her cloak and snapped it from its hook. "I'll be going back." She told his as she kissed his cheek. "You finish up here?" Lethe grined and nodded as Leena strode from the tent to take the longest way possible to get back. She just loved storms. The worst the tempest the more readily she went into it.
Lethe shook his head and went back to decoding reports for his beloved sister.

John woke up with a start, in a cold sweat."Oh God."John exclamied as he rested his head in his hands."I guess no worth fretting over it now."He got up and walked out of his tent in nothing but his shorts. The worst of the storm had passed, but it was still slightly raining. John pulled out a cigarette and began to smoke."Damn nightmares."John continued to smoke as he walked around the camp to calm his nerves when he found Leena."Good evening Leena."John flashed her a smile and gave her a quick salute.

Leena had just began her treck back to her and Lethe's innercamp tent when John called out to her. She was slightly startled to see him out this far and dropped her netting of extreemly sharp, invisibly thin frozen strands of rain, she'd been playing with. The end cought her arm slicing a thin cut along her hand. She scowled as it slipped along her thumb. It didn't hurt much so she ignored it but gasped when she realzed the bulk of the net was falling strait onto John and he could neither see it nor stop it.
Leena flung out her hands flinging droplets of blood toward John. Immedietly the invisible net reverted to water and drenched John. Now he stood half naked and compleatly soaked. Leena couldn't help it she began to laugh and nearly fell as she shook with her chiming giggles.

"Ahhhhh!"John fell down from the pressure of the water. He spit out a mouthfull of water as he stood back."What in the world."He mumbled to himself as he relized his cigarette was extinguished."Ah great that was my last one."John shook himself off when he relized Leena on the ground laughing musicly."Ohhhhhhh you know you owe me a new pack right."He walked over to her and lend down a hand to help her up, John noticed the trickle of blood dripping from her hand."Your injured what happened?"He asked studying the area to see if anybody saw them.

the fact that John had no idea just how close hed come to being diced just threw Leena into further giggles. "The same that happened to you" she sighed as she calmed down. She accepted his help in getting up. "Only before the defrost." She began gathering her water back up into the trees. "Now I'll have to start over." She smiled and fashioned a slightly larger shard in one palm. you could just barely see it. She handed it to him. "I'm making my nets." She told him. her bell_like laghter sounded and she shhook her head. "One nearly hit you." she looked at her dripping hand and held it ou for him to see. "T barey toutched me" she said aexplination and allowed the ice shard in John's hand to splash into a puddle in his palm.

John messed with the water in his hands."Amazing the powers of a Calgor."He looked back to her hand and grabbed it gently."May I Leena."John ripped a bit of cloth from the bottom of his pants, and wrapped it around her hand."There.... You should probably get that checked out. The cut was farely deep, and will take awhile to heal. Unless your like me and heal faster due to my spirit animal."John made a movement to grab for his cigarettes but stopped short remembering that they were all gone.

Leena allowed him to wrap her hand but tilted her head in confusion. "Are you a half breed?" She asked curiously, no tact at all. She found it odd that the human had a spirit animal. 'I guess it's possible' She mused. 'just never heard of one befor...' She continued to look at him oddly in silence, while her other hand continued to go through the motions of stringing her nets, you couldn't even tell her mind was on anything but the oddity john possesed.

John smirked sadly."Why?...... Do you have something against humans?"John felt his blood start to boil."Just because I don't have the powers of the calgors doesnt mean I can't be just as good a soldier as the next guy."He could feal his transformation coming up on him.'No!'He thought to himself.'Stay in control John...... Control your anger don't let it make you blind.'He reversed the words his grandfather had taught him while boxing.'Aim your anger, don't lose control. Concentrate on the tiniest of details.'He looked to Leena trying to focus on something interesting. John looked to her eyes."You have some of the most intense eyes."

She smiled. "Your not the first to think so actually." she told him. As she comtinued to look at him as if she were seeing something most interesting. "And no, I don't have any real antagonism towards humans." She looked into his eyes and shook her head. "Unlike most." She could see his shaky controle as he struggled to remain calm.
Her dripping hair draped back over her face as she lowered her hands now done with heer barrier. She left it as she keeped her focus on John. "I know it's rude to ask, but what is your spirit animal?" She knew some calgors who would hate you for the question but her curiosoty just couldn't be sated.
