She can do some more of that later. Tetra is doing something involving charts right now, how about two versus one against the big but easygoing Mudge and the eager but small Niko?

Permalink

Sounds good.

Permalink

Mudge is very tough and fights defensively. Niko is surprisingly quick but is knocked around fairly easily. He proceeds to mostly hide behind Mudge unless an opportunity is spotted.

Permalink

Then she'll whack at Niko whenever he appears, but otherwise concentrate on Mudge.

This is not as good practice as Tetra was.

Soon, the Forsaken Fortress is visible through the telescope. That giant bird is nesting near the top. Tetra stops the ship while it's still distant.

"...You see all the searchlights? I guarantee you there's cannons too. No way are you getting in on a boat."

"Yeah, somehow I had a bad feeling it would turn out like this."

Permalink

"D'you wanna rescue your sister or not?"

Permalink

"I'm still going to do it."

Permalink

"Well, I figure three hours after sunset, so twilight has time to fade and they can't see you coming in from above. Practice fighting until sunset, then rest up. Sound good?"

Permalink

"That works."

Permalink

So Tetra fights her some more. Anna's getting better already. The greatest gains are in developing a sort of tactical thinking, not technique or reflexes.

And then here's a nice hearty meal, and now you'd better nap so you're alert when it's time.

Nom nom zzz zzz

The catapult's loaded. You have everything? How much do you weigh, can Mudge lift you and estimate?

This guy called Mako has an abacus and is doing some kind of math. That's... Probably reassuring, even if his handwriting is mostly scribble with a few crossed out items?

It's not like she really has a choice at this point.

Let's just get this over with.

Permalink

"Remember, based on the seagulls she's in that high tower. Try not to get spotted, and best of luck!"

THWOMPH!

Anna is flying! The aim seems pretty good, until she's most of the way there.

Permalink

Wheee- ohshitohshit she tries to pull the cord to correct her course-

Permalink

So close. She catches one foot on the edge of the stone balcony they were aiming for, but momentum carries her still-full-ish parachute sharply to the side.

She slides along and down sheer stone and near-plummets toward water, a sort of inner moat.

Permalink

Oh no hopefully it's deep enough and there aren't any rocks-

Permalink

She wasn't falling fast enough to be really injured upon hitting the water.

She is now very very wet. Soaked, even. There's a spot she can climb out onto over thataway...

Permalink

Brr. First, she has to get rid of this parachute, useless as it was. (Okay, no, it wasn't really, but she needs to blame something and it is convenient.) That done, she swims over to the spot gets out.

Permalink

...Where's her sword? Just. You know, double checking.

Permalink

On her back, strapped underneath her shield. Isn't it?

Permalink

Yep.

Well, sort of. 

Actually, no. The shield is floating in the water and her sword is nowhere to be seen.

Permalink

Okay, well first rescue the shield. Did the sword fall into the water? Can she see it?

Permalink

She cannot see her sword.

Her pocket is glowing blue and saying, "Hey can you hear me?" In Tetra's voice.
