"Alright then. You can go." Rue nodded as doors swung open.

Alex's eyes widened. "Seriously? I can go?"
Alex jumped up. "Thank you so much!" She ran out of there like there were hell hounds chasing after her.
"Boring." Rue sighed as Sl nodded, "Yes." With that they disappeared.
Adelaide looked around when they appeared. "Nice," she commented.
Dominique appeared looking around for siblings. When she found them sparring, she grimaced. Again with bloody games, she shook her head as Greg appeared along with Adelaide.
"Are all of them your siblings?" Adelaide asked.
"Yep." She nodded still with slight grimace, "Favorite game: who will get stabbed first?"
She frowned. "That one?" she guessed, pointing to a random man.
"Maybe." She shrugged and waved at the random person. Kristopher looked away from his opponent and at Dominique questioningly. By doing that, he received a punch in his face and went down on the mats.
"Yep." Dominique nodded watching him stand up and walk over to them with a angry look on his face. Kristopher said, "What?" "Oh, nothing. I just waved." She snickered
Adelaide raised her eyebrows, amused.
"Yeah, right." Kristopher scoffed and Iris called laughing, "Coward!" He turned and glared at her. Dominique laughed as well before turning to Adelaide, "If you want to join, you need to learn how to fight and think straightly. Since you are doing the ritual, the thinking straightly option will be provided."
"Yeah. I think fighting will be more of a problem. I can't even throw a punch."
"That's why we will teach you. You don't have to be good at it. Just be able to protect yourself." Dominique said
"Alright, so do you want to watch for awhile or start?" She asked
"Sure." Dominique nodded and took off her shoes tying her hair after she was done. She stepped onto the mats and smiled, "Let's start with basics. Punches, kicks, blocks."
She followed her and assumed what she thought to be a fighting stance.
She grinned and took a fighting position, "First, you need to make sure in the punch that you won't break your fingers. So make a fist and keep your thumb out of the way."
She formed a fist, frowning as she moved her thumb away from her fingers.
"Alright, punch me." Dominique nodded
Adelaide hesitated, then swung her arm back and threw it at Dominique's arm.
She raised her hand and stopped her punch with one swift block. She smiled then, "Let's try something else as well. Only if you want to try it."
"I'm willing to try anything," she said with a laugh.
"Okay, so if your opponent has no experience of fighting of what so ever, when person does the block, you kick at the side of their neck." She pointed at her neck
She nodded. "If they are experienced?"
"If they are, they will block it as well. When they do, you kick at their legs and when they stagger backwards, kick the stomach."
"All righty." She assumed the stance again.
"Not on me though." Dominique smiled and made person appear, "Don't worry. It's one of the creations that Scott made. So you can beat it up as long as you won't. It won't feel a thing."
"I wouldn't beat you up," she said with a grin. She turned to the fake human and tentatively brought her foot up in an attempt to kick its neck, but instead kicking its elbow. "Whoops."
"Try balancing on one leg for few minutes and when you feel sure enough, kick. In real fight though, don't wait." Dominique explained
She stood on her left leg, putting a hand on Dominique's shoulder for balance, then stepped away from her and kicked, reaching its shoulder this time. "Closer..."
"Much better." She smiled as Greg nodded and went to one of his siblings who was Kristopher. He smiled and kicked him. Kris jumped back blocking it and smirked.
She continued to punch and kick the dummy, looking for ways to improve as she did so.
Dominique watched her smiling brightly at her success.
She eventually paused and turned to her. "Would you happen to have water?" she asked sheepishly.
"Of course." Bottle of water appeared in her hand and she gave it to her.
"Gracias." She took a swig of water and put the bottle down beside her, then continued to fight the dummy.
Dominique nodded and after few minutes, she told her to stop. She said, "Alright, that was just basics. Is it good enough for you or do you want to learn more?"
"Maybe she should play one of our games." Nyssa said and Dominique shook her head, "No. Not yet." She looked back at Adelaide and smiled, "Do you want to know how to handle a weapon or do you want to do more of martial arts?"
"Which one? We have quite variety." She grinned
She laughed. "I'd like to be proficient with the sword."
"Alright, simple sword." Dominique nodded and with snap of her fingers, it appeared before them.
She picked it up and tested its weight, finding it not too heavy, but not too light.
