As Alessandra and Clyde part ways, she is now left under the care of the Duhsh Elves while he continues on the path of vengeance. The story of what happened in the seven year absence until their next fated meeting remained unknown, until now.
[Doma - Training Grounds. Several months have passed since the attempted siege of the kingdom. Clyde Arrowny took Kaien, the wandering samurai, up on his offer to further improve his combat skills and swordsmanship. Eager to obtain the mark of mastery under his new training so he can once again continue his quest for vengence, Clyde Arrowny finds himself confronted with his greatest challenge yet]
Kaien: Focus not on the sounds alone; sharpen thy senses and clear thy mind of all distractions. Even a single well-timed deflection shall shake the enemy's resolve.
Clyde Arrowny: I'm ready.
[Kaien grabs a fistful of small leather casings filled with sand from a repurposed barrel by his side. Taking one step forward, he tosses the casings high into the air, as they begin to fall he draws his blade, striking each one towards Clyde Arrowny with incredible precision and speed.
Clyde Arrowny draws his blade, accurately slicing and deflecting the flurry of projectiles that approach him, lowering his blade slowly upon his final strike]
Kaien: Impressive.
Clyde Arrowny: Too easy. [tosses the medium-length ninja sword to the floor] Thank you Kaien, I think it's time for me to move on, I feel ready.
[Enter Angela Petite-Clémentine from behind Clyde Arrowny, she is in her mid-late teens, has fiery ginger hair, pale skin dotted with light freckles and light green eyes. In her hand she firmly grasps a whip]
Angela Petite-Clémentine:[cracks her whip as it wraps around Clyde Arrowny's ankle, causing him to trip and fall flat on his face] I got him!
Kaien:[laughs] Back to the drawing board, it seems!
Clyde Arrowny:[picking self up off the floor] Well if they come back with child soldiers then you might have a point.
Angela Petite-Clémentine: Would you put it past them Kuraido?!
Clyde Arrowny:[grunts] mhm.
[Exit Clyde Arrowny]
Angela Petite-Clémentine: Maybe you could show him how to get that stick outta his ass for the next lesson Kaien.
Kaien: He bears much upon his mind; we should grant him his privacy. He is not here to find peace or to settle.
Angela Petite-Clémentine: What about you?
Kaien: What about me?
Angela Petite-Clémentine: Are you here to stay? It'd make me really happy ya know? Elayne too, I see how she looks at you, how you look at her.
Kaien:[flustered] Preposterous! I gaze upon Elayne no differently than I would any other!
Angela Petite-Clémentine: [laughs] You're so cute when you get all flustered like that! She's lucky you got eyes on her! anyways, cmon, she sent me here to fetch you two anyways, you've not returned all day, bet you're both hungry!
[Exit Angela Petite-Clémentine]
Kaien:[aside] Elayne? does she really look at me with endearment? [soft sigh] I had not noticed.
[Exit Kaien]

She is a sixteen year old citizen of the Kingdom of Doma who aspires to be more than just a cattle rancher on her grandfather's farms. Her fair skin is speckled with light freckles that form a cluster underneath her green eyes. She continously attempts to partake in Kaien and Clyde Arrowny's training sessions to much objection.)
