That wasn't the last time they met up. Aiyana refused to be beaten and made it her mission to be better than Sahco. She'd fit in fighting the Apatka at least once a week. Something that had been irritating and troubling slowly transformed into excitement, and a keenness to meet him and learn more.
Somehow word had spread about Sahco and Aiyana attacking each other randomly. It had turned into something of a game. What had been only spontaneous attacks between the pair then turned into spending time together, as brief as it always was.
Each time she'd learned something more about him and new fighting techniques that the Oncari didn't teach. They were a little ruthless, but that didn't bother her. She had a reputation already, one Atia had helped with by always calling her a savage or vicious princess.
Aiyana smirked and it cost her.
