High emotions

"You don't know what pain is you have only ever experienced it as it danced at the end of your body's nerve receptors"- Nyx

Nyx walked in between the rixis warriors as they did they're training from push ups and sit ups to climbing mountains and swimming. They would be taught the basics of camouflage and tracking while also learning different hand gestures and signals.

You may think that being natural hunters, they would know how to camouflage and track, but they were still in the early stage of the game. Those skills give them the benefit of being naturally skilled at tasks a hunter does, but they need to learn them first.

This is why elders were important as they parted information to those who would come later and refine those same methods.

"The sweat spilling out of your body is a sign you haven't finished yet as if you can sweat than you can still fight, run and kill"- Nyx

Nyx noticed one of the warriors had slowed down and was lagging behind, so he went and grabbed on both his ears.

The warrior whimped in pain put kept his head down, and contained while his ears burned unders his Lords touch.

"This pain you feel is just your body wanting you to give up in the moment. Ignore it in the long term, study it, embrace its teachings"- Nyx

One by one, they dropped as men and women who had done 12 hours of training with 4 5-minute breaks were broken and exhausted.

"Your body is the vessel for greatness of many kinds and will only follow your will if you want to be great your body will follow you"- Nyx

"It may betray you and even fight back, but it is yours. You are the master with the keys to the gates. You decide how strong they will be"- Nyx

"Your minds will test itself and your soul to make sure you will be prepared and ready for the mission head"- Nyx

A few of the soldiers had passed out by now as others rested, and some tried to crawl away. Nyx stopped pacing as he glared at his warriors and shouted out.

"You will not fail me and our glorious Lord for you are the Jackrixis you were moulded and shaped in his image!"-Nyx

"Our blood will sweep through the lands as our claws ripps open the ground, and our minds will conquere all who hear of us!"- Nyx

"Let it be know you my warriors will be the ones to rip out the souls of those who run from the whispers of death!"-Nyx

"And when you fall, you will be revered as great warriors that not even death will be able to erase from time!"-Nyx

Slowly, the warriors got back up with some needing the help of others or a quick slap to wake up before they chanted in front of Nyx.

And shanted their warrior call.

"Born to hunt,

left to fight,

in death, we dance,

day or night,

we use our minds to save our lives,

only in battle will we thrive,"

"Well done to day get some rest and be ready for tomorrow"-Nyx

They all gave a fist bump to their chest before walking back to their beds, and all quickly slept as the sun slowly dropped and the moon rose. Nyx stood near a rock as he stared out to the lands in which the border tribes were and the new enemy.

"You aren't going easy on them, nenny,"-Renka

She appears next to him, sitting on the rock also staring out at the lands as the light makes her rainbow eyes sparkle.

Nyx didn't look at her as the wind sailed towards them and brushed against their bodies.

"I just want them to die knowing they were the best they could be"- Nyx

"You can't hide your emotions from me, nenny. I know you're worried it's okay to be nervous about them,"-Renka

The ground was broken and cracked as Nyx turned around and glared at Renka, who looked at him with a blank stare, clearly not intimated.

"You dare use your powers on me. I am the god of war!"-Nyx

"So and I'm the god of Emotion. Stop being such a baby nenny,"-Renka

The rock Renka sat on was slowly chipping as Nyx walked closer and screamed.

"And stop calling me by that goddame nickname you rainbow worm!"-Nyx

"Heh, hehe, no way roads go that way. My flaming friend"-Renka

"Garr! i swear you were made to torment me!"-Nyx

Nyx quickly ripped open a portal and left as Renkas head dropped and shook.

Leaning on a nearby tree was Themis God of Order as he watched Renka, who had a smirk on her face.

"Why must you taunt him, Renka, when he has done you no woe?"-Themis

He was curious as to why she always liked to anger a god of war and, in a sense, cause disruption to the order of the gods.

Renka slowly turned and put her hand under her chin as she glanced at him, not getting to see Themis all that often.

"Well, it's quite simple Themis Jack doesn't get a lot of things, but one of his greatest achievements was deciding to create me"-Renka

"That sounds both arrogant and rude. Why do you say this?"-Renka

She quickly hummed as colours of light slowly drifted around her hand.

"Beacuse I can see the emotions of all Themis, including you and Nyx and even Minerva, and that can be a powerful tool"-Renka

"Tell me what you see when you look at the god of war?"-Renka

"Strength, power and an unyielding sense of duty with some rage added on top"-Themis

"Well, that's what he shows on the outside, but on the inside?"-Renka

"He is constantly nervous if he is doing wrong, and even though he doesn't show it, he's terrified of letting Jack down,"-Renka

"He feels he must be constantly ready to protect us and our people while also not being allowed to show any weakness or emotion,"-Renka

"So he feels trapped?"-Themis

"Not necessarily Themis, the thing about you and me is that 1 plus 1 equals 2 with you, but add emotion, and the math starts to get squared,"-Renka

"As the god of emotion, if I've learned anything, it's that people love to suppress the very thing that makes them..Well them"-Renka

"We wrap chains around ourselves as both shields and bask under the shade they bring without knowing the poison it does to the soul"-Renka

"Don't think I can't see yours either Themis while they are deeply locked away. I see what you want most"-Renka

"I'm the god of Order. I keep the balance and watch those who disrupt it, and I can see you will continue to be as you are"-Themis

Renka lept off the large stone that turned to dust as she did and landed in front of Themis.

"Yep, and you wouldn't want it any other way, right?"-Renka

Themis looked at Renka and nodded his head while slowly weaving himself a portal back to his domain, his voice slowly slipping away.

"Of course, Renka, that is the natural order of things"-Themis
