Arianna stands at the bow of the ship as it begins to head towards the strong hold where the archers train. She watches until the shore is too small to see with her eye and the clouds lighten brining the sun rise to its peak She goes to her room and lays down trying to sleep. Restless after only a few hours she gets up and does some stretches. She goes back to her bed and tries to  rest ...her door opens and master Shui enters and he forces her to her feet. Master Shui what is the meaning of this intrusion? You're on your bed instead of practicing. So he whispers practice. I don't know if you've noticed Master but we're on a ship not exactly the place to string a bow- do not mock me! He says. You will train. He says. Arianna stiffens and then she pushes past him and she heads towards the deck.
