The morning air was cool against Dianlinn’s skin as she moved quickly towards her first lesson. She had been told to report for the Unarmed Combat lesson just after sun up, and here she was, ready and waiting. She had some skill in hand to hand, her fellow Maiden’s teaching her the basics, though their travel over the Dragonwall and into the land of the Treekillers had cut that short. Damn those honourless Shaido! She hated thinking of the land of the Treekillers, as it made her remember those dark times in the camp of the Stonedogs, and what they put her through. I wonder if I shall ever get my honour back. And if I can ever think of that nation again without looking over my shoulder. She was looking forward to the class as she had been told that it was run by a woman, so no man was going to try and lay a hand on her, something that still haunted her dreams.
As she arrived, she moved to the prescribed place and waited, crouched on her haunches, as comfortable like that as it stretched out on the floor. She could see a raven haired woman standing not to far away, and she knew the woman was Mistress of Training, and a Sword master to boot. She looked down at her uniform and her shoufa wrapped hanging loosely around her neck. The woman had a deep tan and pale blue eyes, looks that would turn the most honour bound of men.
She stayed in her crouch as she waited for the woman to come to her, easier to remain silent, not wanting to owe anyone toh.
