Torn rags expose her beat up legs. Scares have formed all over her body. Only the ocean waves speak to her with kindness.
A small stream of light enters from the deck above. Creating a spot on the floor in the shape of the sun stone she was given.
Thats right! All those lessons the tribe leader showed me made me stronger. I can fight my way off this ship!
Courage and strength rise within her.
The ocean waves guide her to shore. Her body fatigue and weakened, moving seems impossible.
I cant just lay here. Come on get up, I have to get up. One step in front of the other. I got this.
Her stride is strong when all her legs want to do is collapse beneath. She pushes through the pain and exhaustion.
Why wont anyone answer me? I have come this far. Please anyone!
A tall man finally answers her that they are training to fight in battle with that kingdom.
She fills with hope and power. She joins the man in training to fight!
