Her exaltation had come during one of her meditations. She had received a vision. "You are right about one thing. I did receive my second breath in the form of a vision. I was in the temple in the Northeastern provinces where I lived, had lived my whole life really. I was told that I was given to the order because my parents could not afford to feed and cloth me, them being simple farmers. Yet they gave me up t the priests of the order as a way of saving my life." she said sighing a bit. "At least that's what I was told anyway, by Sister Amala. She cared for me when I was old enough to enter the temple proper. Then through ritual, training and meditation I was able to awaken my essence. Head Matron Silver Fox said she had high hopes for me as I began to learn the Five-Dragon style. Then one day...about since months ago. I had a vision. I saw Creation. I saw demons coming for it about the engulf it whole. Then from on the Eastern horizon, the light came.  It was the first light! The dawning light. It made the deamons quake in fear. As it rose higher and higher it took the form of a garda rising from it's ashes. Yet it was not till the phoenix had reached it's Zenith that it burst fourth in the golden radiance of the sun that they were burned away." she said, her face calming as her voice took a reverent tone.<br/><br/>"When I came to I saw sister Amala was there a bit shocked along with a serving girl. She reached over and knocked the girl out before throwing a blanket over me to hide my Caste Mark from other eyes. She smuggled me out of the temple that night." she said reaching into her pouch to pull out a small flute of beautifully made silver and blue jade. "She said that I had always been favord Melque(Ithink I spelled that right the Blue Dragon) so she had it made for me. She gave it to me before we parted ways. I have not seen her since." she said recounting the tale of her exaltation.
