Ari smirked and chuckled at the thought of Red finally gaining enough confidence to fight on her own.
She had a powerful affinity to fire and Ari sees her potential to become stronger than she is now. His heart welled up with pride.
Anything or anyone who would go up against her would be in a hell lot of trouble.
Ari walked slowly and methodically around the tall hedges of the beautiful hydrangeas. There was a blind corner to his left and another further up front. The last time he had crossed without looking, a huge bug jumped and almost made him into dinner.

He has to remember the things he learned in the faey militia. What would Commander Lexus say to his performance? And to think there were other warriors who got picked by the fireflies a while ago too.
He shook his head and slapped himself into concentration.
