The Great Library of Palanthas

Astinus' Office

Dominating the center of this room is a massive birch desk. Legend claims this desk has supported the thousands of volumes of history Astinus has recorded. A large pot of ink, a container of sharpened quills, and a candelabra complete the desks decorations. Small windows line the room, allowing light to trickle in and gently illuminate the entire room. A comfortable couch rests against the west wall. Tapestries hang on the walls between the windows. Shelves line the walls, filled with tomes of the more recent records of heroes and villians upon the face of Krynn.

The librarian notices you aren't reading anything... Astinus hands a metal bound tome to an Aesthetic standing by you. You note the spine bears the word 'Azumi' scribed in dark blue ink. As you glance down at the page you read..

From the pages of Azumi's book..


Author: Azumi Date: Thu May 13 02:16:37 2010 Subject [FWD] Azumi and Segwarides meet : Part 1 [FWD Note] - [184] Azumi: Azumi and Segwarides meet : Part 1 [FWD Date] - Thu May 13 02:09:53 2010 [FWD To ] - all [Original to:] solamnic light [FWD List] - story 5:45 Pm., Day of Boreadai, 19th the Month of Sirrimont. Azumi Di' Everstar (Journals to her father the fallen Rose Knight Hytar Di'Everstar) Today Dearest father I was in training at the Solamnic acadamy.Another day of drills, exercises and weapons practice. It is my lifes honor to follow in your footsteps.Im am pleased to let you know today I met Marshal Segwarides of the Crown. Marshal Segwarides is a hard and blunt man, I do believe he has something against me.Pushing me much harder than the other recruits.But father, I was relieved to find he knew you.He said he was in battle with you and that you were a valliant and brave knight.You always said I was much like mother, Paladine rest her soul.Heh, I guess you were right father the temperment I inherited from mother got the best of me today.I was practicing drills when... Thrush, bash, block the sounds of a commander barking out orders to new squires.Azumi swinging her sword growing frustrated with the childlike manner she was being treated stands facing another squire in battle stance.The young squire swinging his sword at Azumi, she parries his attack as he does. "How is that suppost to be your best?" Azumi exclaims to the young squire. "Just because I'm a lady doesnt mean you have to hold back" Azumi says.The young squire recovers and again comes at Azumi this time with his full force, knocking Azumi back sending her training sword flying."I told you" the young squire replies.Azumi looking up from the ground her eyes narrow, "I bet ya cant do that again" she states .She tosses her training weapons aside.The young squire looks to her, "Azumi, how can you repel my attack with no weapon?" Azumi flashes a smirking glance to the young squire. "You let me worry about that" she replies as she lowers her stance putting her center of gravity lower to the ground.Raising her hands to her torso she holds her right arm foward aligned with her face for defense.Her left close to her head near her left ear, palm open.With a clasp of her right hand she motions for the squire to attack."Remember no holding back" she says.Watching as the young squires hands tighten on his training sword, and his weight shift she knows he is about to attack.As the young squire swings, she steps out of the way letting the training sword swoosh past her face.She spins down to the ground tripping the squire he lands with a resounding thud as the air is pushed out of his lungs.Azumi noticing the seconds vulnerbility rolls over on her back grabbing the squires arm between her legs she crosses them tightly around his arm.Grasping his wrist she pulls away from him placing great pressure on the squires elbow to the point it almost breaks.The young squire yelps with pain as he begs for her to release him. Azumi with a proud chuckle releases the squire.Standing the young squire ask," Where did you learn something like that?" Azumi replies "From Master Majurno, a monk of Majere formerly in my fathers employ at the Everstar eastate." Noticing the two a senior squire walks over."You two should be practicing with your squire issue training weapons" the senior squire says."Azumi dont need them" the young squire says."I seriously doubt she is adept enough to be moving on to standard issue weapons just yet" the senior cadet exclaims. " I dont need them to best you !!" Azumi cries as she tosses her training weapons to the ground in frustration. When Lord Marshal Segwarides takes notice of the commotion. "Stop you three, what seems to be the problem here?" Segwarides ask. "These two recruit squire dont think they need to use there training issue weapons." The senior Squire says. "I never said that!" Azumi replies in frustration."It's just" "Its just what?" Segwarides ask."Its just, I dont need them" Azumi replies."Dont need them?" Segwarides replies "I'll be the judge of that." as he orders the other two squires away toward the other side of the training yard."Now ready yourself, Azumi" as he picks up a training sword and tower shield.

Segwarides says with a chuckel.Azumi advances with a fury of kicks, trip and punches.Not once landing a strike on Segwarides."Oh I see the extent of your training" he says with a mocking smirk."Now squire go get a training sword and tower shield from the weapons racks.Following the senior knights orders she grabs a training sword and shield from the supply racks."Now attack" Segwarides says.Azumi swinging her sword at Segwarides as he steps out of the way missing him again."Again" he says.This time Azumi trying to combine her new weapons with her previous training runs at Segwarides droping the shield just before "Now Azumi maybe you see the importance of your training here" Segwarides states."Now lets see you execute your drills learned today." Azumi standing at the ready awaits his command."One my orders, Thrust." Azumi pushes her sword forward. "You can do better than that Azumi" Segwarides says with a cold glare. "Again, on my order, Thrust" Azumi sends her sword pushing forward from her body pointing the tip aligned with her shoulder to the pull extent of her arm."Better" Segwarides says "Now if we can just work on that temper of yours, be mindful of this Azumi it will serve you no good" Segwarides turns and dismissed Azumi along with the other squires........ See father not exactly what I would call a easy day but another day of training in none the less.... Signed Your loving daughter Azumi, (She tears the pages from the journal wrapping them with a red ribbon, walking them over to a small shrine to Kiri-Jolith in her quaters she pray "Kiri-Jolith honorable god of War I pay these thoughts reach my father)
