starter for @vanguardxmercenary​

“How did I...end up here?”

Confused, her memory was foggy--almost felt blocked. Luckily she washed ashore these new lands with her trusty blade and satchel of belongings. A blessing from the Goddesses.

Her feelings were conflicted; excited for this new opportunity, but to what extend would this new journey be in her favour? Unknown lands meant going back to the basics; Asking around, finding a map, a place to safely stay... 

“Alright, no time for chit-chat! I gotta get moving!” Motivating herself as she begun to march. After a while of walking and asking for directions, she finally made it to a tavern. A good place for a break. Ordering a beer, the mercenary took a seat, looking around at all the new faces, different attires meaning different cultures... Until suddenly, she spotted a blue haired male who looked rather familiar. ...Taking a closer look, she noticed a familiar blade, sheathed, with it’s strap hanging on his chair... There was no questioning it.

Wiping the sweat off her forehead, she concluded her daily activities of the morning. Washing up, having a light breakfast for energy, and training afterwards, she could only hope she didn’t forget anything, which was unlikely as she was used to her routine. Mia pulled out an apple from her satchel, picking it up afterwards from where it was placed, beside a large tree.

It was a warm and pleasant morning as she walked away from her training area, hoping to stop by the Greil mercenary hideout for a visit. She wasn’t expecting to find anyone there as the mercenaries were all busy with their own duties and whatnot.

Although... To her surprise, her eyes viewed a figure in the area close by. As she walked closer to her destination, the figure came into sight. Wearing a long and rich blue cape, tunic, and shoulder plates, the individual seemed to be someone of status. Smooth and vibrant blue hair and eyes, wearing what looked like a tiara on his head, delicate features, he was truly a new face. He also carried a fancy styled sword, which looked different from the ones she saw in Tellius.

With a smile on her face, she decided to approach the individual, hoping not to startle him. “You don’t seem like the Nobles around here, are you new by any chance? You might want to be careful wondering by yourself, you never know when someone can ambush after all!” Finally being close enough to the person, Mia brought her hand out for a shake. “The name’s Mia! I’m simply a mercenary. What about you, mate? Will you grace me with your name?”

“Possibly. As odd as it may sound, everyone should be given a second chance, therefore allowing the possibility to redeem themselves... At least in my opinion.” The swordswoman added, keeping her ground upon making quite a bold statement. 

She was well aware of the troubles General Zelgius had caused, but she was also aware of the extreme loyalty he possessed for his Master, and country. Loyalty was something she could relate with, therefore opening the possibility of redemption.

Mia made it to another anonymous village during her travels. It was evening, and so it started to get dark. She decided she would either spend the night out in the open area or rent a room at a possible Inn. She didn’t come to a decision at this point, because not only was that an important thing to consider, but also she had to fill her stomach.

Fortunately, there seemed to be a number of stalls around, with various food, games, and others on display. Perhaps there was a festival going on? With all the bright lights and excitement around, Mia felt filled with energy already.

She decided to dive right in and have some fun! There seemed to be what looked like an archery stall; Where you shoot a set of targets and gain prizes. Although, what grabbed her attention was the individual present at the stall.

He seemed to be a skilled archer, and had long red hair, which was tied in a pony tail. He seemed to have an un-amused expression, and from those characteristics, Mia figured it was the Master Marksman.

“Shiiinon!” She called out, waving as she made her way towards the other. She had a big smile on her face, as it was rare to bump into someone of the Legendary Greil mercenaries. 

“I never thought I’d find you near by! Great to see ya!”
