However that did not matter for the Holy Knights, they would ship her off to Baska whether she would say yes or no. Baska, that had been a while, she was actually quite curious how the town looked and if they still had this issue about the strange doctor, she remembered the fights Konstantin and she, herself, had with him. It did not matter, many years ago now. She packed her bags, she travelled light and left the children with someone who she could trust. She planned to be back in Orchidia soon after, it would be worse to take them to Baska, she gave a list with instructions of what to do when Tanya cried but maybe it was better if she did not see her mother for a few days.
Maybe that worked, she ignored the comments of Augusta on her mind and waved her away. With her armour strapped on her body, the Gorgon shield on her back strapped onto the system that she had made to make it carry when she would go a long distance and Natheal's sword on her left hip. One step in front of the other, that's how she would go to Baska. Musing and thinking about what other knights they might have sent and if she knew them. One step at the time, left, right, right left. That would make her arrive in a town that did not seem to have changed and yet it felt less suffocating than Orchidia had done. Orchidia had been her home, where she wanted to change back time, Baska had been a memory but it was not that bad to be here, it had been something she wanted to forget. Lacie taking Kon's eye. Her pregnancy, hurrying to Orchidia to give birth to the twin and now, now she was all alone in a forgotten memory. One step at the time, she arrived in town to find a place to sleep and prepare for the fight: again.
Arrival in Baska.
