While she was a good enough swimmer on her own she had certainly hoped to not have to do it in this weather. Then had come them running a ground. That had been interesting but she was nothing if not up to the task. She'd been hired for this gig for her martial skills and had held true to that contract. Even if she had been a disgusted by the Captain's leers at her. She had weather it just fine. He hadn't done anything to her so far so she was just content to let him be. However if he did she had an idea in mind of how to deal with him. Still this new world she found herself in was quite different that was for sure from what she had known before. Which was of course the monestaries of the Immaculate Order.<br/><br/>Even as she thought about the whole affair it still seemed kind of surreal to her. She had been in the middle of her mediations in private when she had beheld a vision. A vision in which she saw a darkness encroaching upon the creation itself. She had been about to go tell what she had learned to the Abotess Silver Fox of what she saw when it happened. As if sensing her imminent departure to the waking world a bright light filled her mind. As it cleared she saw what it was. It was the sun, shining brightly over the horizon. She saw the sun itself rising in the east. It was like a phoenix spreading it's wings to take flight. In the wake of such a light the darkness receded but only just so. Then just as the sun reached it's Zenith and in it's fully glory did the darkness become frightened begin to flee before the sheer might of the Holy Radiance of the sun's light. Then her vision ended.<br/><br/>When she'd come to it was to see the horrified look on a servant girl's face and the concerned looking on Elder Sister Amala's face. Sister Amala promptly knocked the girl out and then through a cloak over her body. "You must leave this place now. It is no longer safe for you child. We must hurry." she had said as they left through back alleys and other such ways she had not known. "Why must I leave Elder Sister Amala?" she had asked back. The answer had been simple. She had not wanted to acknowledge it back then but the glowing mark on her forehead was the proof enough .She was a Solar.<br/><br/>She had left only taking several days worht of rations with her and a plan green jade ocarina. It was such a silly little thing but it was one of her most prized possions. It was the thing that had been gifted to her by the Priestess before she had passed her off into the wilds. She never knew what had become of Amala but she could not but look forward now. It was simply her now. She'd been guided to a cache of weapons and other gear by the visions of her heritage. As soon as she had discovered it the nightly visitations had begun. The ancient radient dragon spirit Artisia had appeared to teach her lessons. All because she opened that book.<br/><br/>How that had been almost a lifetime ago now. In reality it had only been a couple of months. She had spent the better part of six months in that ruin learning sword and other such techniques before striking out on her own. Now she her she was walking out on deck toward the Captain. "So where have found ourselves Captain?" she asked him. The large gleeming golden daiklave across her back. Her long emerald green hair fluttered in the sea breeze, tied back as usual with the silk ribbon hair tie she herself used. She wondered where they would go from here but she knew things were what they were for a reason.<br/>
