Want to learn fight

As they reached the Voidwing's base that is Salvek's base,a sprawling city of advanced technology and militant order,was populated by loyal soldiers and scientists.Yet,as Aurea entered the grand hall,the murmurs began,a blend of awe,fear,and speculation.

"Is she a weapon from the Dominion?"Whispered one.

"she's too... ordinary for a threat",another commented skeptically.

"But look at those eyes, there's something about her"....she looks beautiful..."murmured a third.

Aurea remained silent,her mind whirring with strategies.Salvek observed her closely, seeming to sense the fire within her but giving nothing away.in his base,where she was a prisoner yet somehow protected,Aurea realized she was caught in a web of alliances,secrets and unspoken rules.

"She looks exactly like her.."Someone murmurs.

"Is it a coincidence?I heard Cerys already died in battle.I also heard she was very cruel ,she killed her own people."

Salvek, overhearing this, dismisses the people with a sharp glare and turns to Aurea."Ignore them".

Within the sterile confines of her jail cell,Aurea was acutely aware of the omnipresent hum of the surveillance system.Tiny,unassuming lenses embedded in the corners of the room tracked her every move, courtesy of Salvek's insistence.He needed to understand her,not just the circumstances of her sudden appearance,but the enigma of her behaviour,her reactions,and perhaps her connection to the woman who is his past.

Kael spent hours in his private chamber, analyzing the footage.He watched her pacing,her moments of vulnerability and her sharper, calculating expressions when she thought she was alone.She was human,yet something about her gaze carried a weight of knowledge and intensity that felt otherworldly.

"She's hiding something,"A recorded clip caught his attention:Aurea mimicking an intricate motion,a mechanical calibration gesture used by advanced robotics engineers.His brows furrowed.Hos could someone like her possess such refined, technical knowledge?

Aurea was no passive player in the game. She knew the cameras were there, and she began to use them to her advantage. Her seemingly random actions started forming patters, codedd messages hidden in her movements, smalll gesture designed to test Salvek's deductions and observations.

Salvek summoned his closest guards and uttered the command that sent shockwaves through the base:

"Release her."

The guards exchanged uneasy glances." Sir, are you certain? She could be a threat."

Salvek's piercing gaze silenced the protest." Do as I say. She won't leave my sight."

When she reached the main control room, Salvek was waiting." You're free to walk the base,"he declared." But every move you make will be under my watch."

Aurea met his gaze defiantly." And what do you expect to find by watching me so closely?"

Salvek's lips curled into the fainted smirk, though his eyes remained sharp." Answers."

Aurea's newfound freedom within the Voidwing base had given her time to reflect, observe and adapt. She was no stranger to battles to logic and strategy, but her human form presented a weakness she hadn't anticipated…she lacked the physical strength and combat skills to truly defend herself, let alone carry out her plans for vengeance.

One evening, Salvek found her in the training grounds, watching the soldiers sparring with weapons. Her sharp eyes traced their movements, calculating the precision behind their strikes, but her posture betrayed an underlying frustration. Noticing her, Salvek approached, his expression neutral but curious.

"Shouldn't you be keeping to the safety of the observation deck?"

Aurea turned to him, her gaze unwavering." I want to learn how to fight."

Salvek raised an eyebrow, taken aback by her directness." Fight?"he echoed, as if testing the weight of the world." And what would you do with such skills?"

"I don't intend to remain defenseless in your base…or anywhere else". You've taken me from my path, Captain,"but that doesn't mean I'll stop finding ways to walk it".

Her words hung in the air, challenging him in a way few dared. Savek studied her, a flicker of something indescribable crossing his face. She resembled her more and more with each passing day…now not just in appearance but in the fire that burned behind her eyes.

After a long pause, Salvekk finally spoke." Fine.I'lll assign you a trainer,""But be warned,…this isn't a skill you can master lightly."

"Good,"Aurea said, her resolve unshaken." I wasn't looking for easy."

Aurea's training began with measured hostility, her movements mechanical and her mind focused solely on the practicalities … Learning to fight, growing stronger, preparing for the vengeance she vowed to carry out. She thought of Salvek as nothing more than an obstacle, her warden, and at best, her reluctant ally At this moment of necessity.

But as days passed, cracks began to form in her emotional armor. Salvek was never her trainer. He observed from a distance, delegating the task to one of his most skilled lieutenants. Yet he would appear during her sessions, his sharp gaze analyzing every stroke, every misstep. When she stumbled, it was Salvek who stepped forward, his calm yet firm guidance helping her regain balance.

"You fight with precision,"he said one day, his voice even, yet carrying the faintest hint of respect." But you lack fluidity. Combat isn't just logic and strategy. Its instinct. Trust yourself."

There were moments when their gazes met, a lingering intensity that made her heart stutter in ways she hadn't anticipated. She told herself it was just her human form betraying her, a biological reaction she didn't fully understand. But deep down, she knew it was more.

One evening, after a particularly grueling training session, she found herself sitting alone in the empty training hall, running her fingers over the calluses forming on her hands. Salvek entered silently, his presence almost startling her, though she refused to show it.

"You're improving,"he said, his tone softer than usual.

She hesitated, then asked,"Why are you helping me?"

Salvek studied her for a moment,his expression unreadable."Because i see more in you than you see in yourself,"He replied before walking away, leaving her to grapple with the unfamiliar warmth blooming in her chest.
