Although they'd joked, the pair ran into the battle, and were taught just how much the Elite warriors of Silver Feather were not to be taken lightly. Aiyana and Atia hadn't had much battle experience besides training and fighting each other, and helping Yoa occasionally, but it had never required them to fight other tribes.
They were ready, just not experienced like some of the other warriors. The more they fought beside each other though, the more it was clear they were stronger together, covering each other's backs. Many stayed clear of them, the Oncari included, though many watched in awe at the lethal dance of the pair. A shimmering, golden light of stardust surrounded Atia and Aiyana as they fought. It was like a circle shielding them, making others wary to step forward.
