007 [Action/Video]
[Since Karla had gotten her Wo Dao back from being duplicated, she's kept the spare sword she had picked up during the procedure. It hasn't seen much use, as Karla had only kept it at her side in case she did lose her primary sword. But recently she's decided, if she's going to carry a second sword, she might as well try to incorporate the use of it into her own style.]
[So she'll be training at the barracks, twirling and swinging her Wo Dao in the air as if in a choreographed dance. Occasionally, in mid-attack, she'll pause and draw her second katana and swing it in a different angle. She straightens herself and sheaths the katana before returning to her Wo Dao practice.]

One thing I've come to learn about Luceti is that people live very different lifestyles here. They have different cultures and different customs, and it's interesting to learn about them all.
[The droppings and the golden ass incident spring to mind, but. Well. She'll pursue more knowledge about those things on her own.Someone needs to teach this girl about mischief.]
It particularly pleases me that women can do so much...more. Where I grew up, women were not allowed to even touch a weapon. Women were only told to do what men say. They were bound to typical housework, cooking, cleaning, and the like. But I know women are capable of more than that.
But here, there's a group of warriors that are strictly women. The..."Kyoshi Warriors", I believe they were called? Personally, I have found a greater challenging in sparring with another woman. They use speed as their primary weapon. Speed is far more difficult to overcome than brute strength. What women lack in brute strength, they make up for with their speed.
I don't particularly enjoy battle myself, but I'm just glad to see that women are more than just housewives for men here.

I do know that the Agkelons do not allow women to become knights. Perhaps it is to safeguard them from the dragons. Perhaps it is simply tradition...
[Voice]
[The last part makes her frown a bit.]
I suppose I can sort of see why. Where I come from, the knights wear heavy armor. It would take a lot of strength just to move in it.
[Voice]
Then again, there are people in Aether who do not have a problem with women becoming warriors. Their ways are more savage... they do not rely on protection, but brute strength, whether male or female. The Agkelons would call them a primitive people but... this is how they have lived and survived for many years now.
[Voice]
Savage? That doesn't sound very...nice. But then again...battle is always savage.
