"Thorne! My feet hurt and I'm hungry! Can we stop now?" The little 7 year old looked to her older brother with her large brown eyes. "Sorry sis we can't yet but soon, but we can take a quick break and eat okay?" Shaiden beamed, "Okay." Thorne smiled at her but behind that smile he was a scared 11 year old kid that had little food, a little sister, and a long walk to who knows where. As soon as they finished eating Thorne looked toward the stars. (Now he wouldn't admit it but the stars were his most favorite things in the world.) When he turned back around he found his sister curled up sleeping. That's when he realized that they had been traveling way too long for a little kid like that. They had been traveling for over 8 hours and he could tell that she was exhausted because she sort of drooped but she didn't complain once. It was a cold autumn day so Shaiden soon began shivering so he wrapped her into a blanket then hoisted her over his shoulder and began walking again. When his legs hurt so bad that he couldn't walk anymore he laid Shaiden down and wrapped his arms around her. It felt like he was only asleep for minute when he heard a blood-curdling scream. His eyes flashed open and he was up in a flash. He saw his sister being pinned to the ground by a wolf. He screamed to his sister but she didn't respond. The wolf then noticed him and raked it's razor sharp claws against his little sister's arm. She whimpered but didn't cry. Thorne took the beast head on but still watched his sister. He looked to the spot she was just at to find her gone. "Tricky girl." He thought then he saw she had her own problems she was surrounded by a weird group. Then one of them yelled as loud as he could and the wolf scared off. They helped him to his feet but all Thorne cared about was helping his little sister. He took the hand then shot off. He grabbed Shaiden by the arm and she let out a sound when he accidentally grabbed her injured arm. He cleaned it and bound it. It wasn't looking so great but it was better than nothing. A pretty blonde told him that she could help her back at her castle. Thorne wanted to not trust these strange teenagers but his sister was hurt so he kinda needed to. When they arrived at the castle Thorne saw three of these teens on a moat attacking children. That's how he knew he was in trouble. He carried his sister inside as she bravely fought off tears. The scary reptile one talked to her really gently revealing that her name was Crocness and that they wouldn't hurt them and that they were going to help them. "You are brave and strong for such a little girl." Crocness told her when she felt better. "I am not a little girl! I am a deadly warrior." His sister said fiercely but quietly. "Well then I'll tell you what since we were looking for a few new defenders why don't we train you to be a real warrior." Shaiden's eyes widened and she smiled then agreed. That's how Thorne knew this was his home. While he trained he fell in love. With medicine. He became a great alchemist but he wasn't great with his accuracy. During breakfast one day Kook came in groaning and aching because he apparently was in a defend off and got his tail feathers kicked. When his sister came in laughing when she saw Kook he knew she was a great defender. That night the others were trying to figure out their powers. "So Thorne is a doctor thingy but what about that little british brat?!" Gildar asked. Ballista, Croc, and Knightriss all glared at him. "She is not a brat she is adorable and really good. She like a ninja!" Ballista stated. Then they turned towards the T.V. to find Shaiden standing there arms folded glaring at Gildar. "Yep definitely a british ninja brat." Shaiden just smiled.
