Taking action

It has been a year since the queen died. Kaida was able to lead her people to the tribe of her uncle without any problems. 

Her uncle Kai was torn by grief. Not only did he lose his oldest sister, who had been like a mother to him but his younger sister had not survived the battlefield either. And it was all the fault of their youngest brother.

Meanwhile, the war was in full swing and many tribes wanted to seize the opportunity to attack the dragon tribe. Everyone was aware that the dragons had not been seen since the death of the queen. However, the dragons tribe was a worthy opponent with or without dragons.

Her uncle was planning to go to the battlefield himself, but he could not leave the dragon people behind. Especially now that the south started to become uneasy. The wolf tribe had already attacked a few small towns and urgent action had to be taken. But who could he send?

.........

While Kaida was training in the south, her father was waging a war in the north. She felt powerless can she  do nothing to help her father?

Kaida was a natural talent when it came to martial arts. She was good with a spear. Always hitted the target with a bow and arrow. And she had no equal when it came to sword fighting. In many ways she looked like her mother.

Kaida was tired of waiting, it has been a year it was time to go to war. Even if I do not go to the north, I want to defend the south. But will her uncle let her go?

She had already discussed with kyro and Rei what she was planning and they were behind her. But will it be enough?

Does she has the ability to lead an army? Is she strong enough?  Does she has enough willpower?

Kaida did not want to leave her nine brothers and sisters, especially now that their parents were not here. but she knew that her uncle and aunt were there for them. from the beginning they arrived they had only been treated well.

Kaida walked to her uncle's room.

"Uncle Kai I'm sorry to interrupt you, but I would like to discuss something with you" 

Kai signed that she could come in.

"Uncle it has been a year since I  came here. I have grown a lot and studied all my mother's documents. I am of the opinion that I will not grow or learn more from any training. I need to do actual combat. The south is uneasy and the people need us"

Kai looked at her and saw the late queen. He felt a pain in his heart.

"what do you have in mind? You know I can not join the army. Why will the army listen to you if there are warriors who are older than you and have seen more battlefields? Who will you choose as first general and second general. What do you know about strategy? Do you understand what I mean my niece?

Kaida looked at her uncle and nodded

"Uncle Kai I will just take what is left of the army of the main family. They have sworn their loyalty to my parents and have promised to follow me in their absence. As the first general I will take your oldest son kyro. Even though it was not often but he has already seen the battlefield and warriors of the branche family respect him. Same goes for Koto and Kaën. They have warriors who see them as leaders and they are willing to follow them. Personally, I do not know anything about strategy, but Rei is a natural talent in that. Kayra has a good sense of direction and feels at home in every land area. This she has shown during the trip to you "

Kai was impressed. It was clear that Kaida had thought carefully and knew what she was talking about. But could he let them go? To the north? No! But the south will not be a problem right? After all, they were old and skilled enough. 

"You are not allowed to leave the south. Your job is to get the uproar in the south under control. You need to taking care of an army yourself. Who does not want to follow you is not obligated. That was all."

Kaida quickly ran out of her uncle's room. She had to find Her five main followers quickly. She knew that if she found Rei she also found kyro. They had been inseparable since they were in his native tribe. 

Koto would probably be with his mother together with her younger sister. Kaën and Kayra had gone back to their own tribe. But she had already sent them a message about her plans.

Kadia walked into the flower garden. There she saw her aunt together with her sister and her cousin Koto. Her aunt was a star in medicine. the flower garden was also full of healing herbs and plants. Koto and her sister thought it was interesting and were her aunt's students.

"Good afternoon aunt, how are you? Sorry to disturb you, but I have something to discuss with Koto"

Kaida briefly told Koto about her plans and wanted to know what he thought of it. She saw that he was thinking, but he did not responded

"you do not have to go if you do not want to. I only know nobody else who I want as a second general "

Koto looked at kaida

"I will certainly go with u, I also feel restless and want to contribute too. I was only thinking which warriors have knowledge of medicine. This will certainly be necessary with the wounded "

Just then Rei and kyro entered.

"I have spoken with father and he has said that we have a week to prepare ourselves. Rei is leaving to go to her family this evening and wil look for warriors that can join us."

"I have already sent my mother a message that I am coming. But i do not think that our tribe still has a lot of warriors. Many are with my father to the north "

Rei walked to Kaida. "You can count on me, I will do my best"

Kaida was not used to being without Rei for so long, but she knew it was necessary. If she wanted to prove herself, she needed an army. She knew that even though the warriors promised to follow her, not everyone was convinced that she could lead them. Many also blamed her that the dragon tribe had no more dragons.

What was a dragons tribe without a dragon?
