Role

Chapter 2

After parting with the caravan life, she went to live in a cabin in
the forest, taking in the sights and sounds until she felt comfortable
enough there and then she moved to a swamp and then the mountains and
even briefly near the sea. The latter she still did not quite like as
it was very difficult to swim, but she learned to appreciate it nevertheless.
Learned of all the wilds, she set off to better herself at combat
as her weapon skills were quite good and becoming a combat mistress
would allow her to improve her standing in the world.

There was also a big reason for her to strive for the perfection of
the physical fighting. She found that the dance of spears and paws was
staggeringly beautiful and her inner self was at complete calm only during
the fiercest battle, preferably outnumbered by bandits, facing them alone.
The harder the battle, the more calm and serenity it brought her.
Not to mention the satisfaction of victory at the end of it all.

It is as if all her desires and wishes just went away in a flow
of battle, leaving behind worries of money, of food, of clothes,
of any earthly matter, with Tiissana becoming a different person,
one almost entirely consisting of calm and precise fatal strikes.
