Part 1The light fell over the shimmering fields of grass, brilliant sunbeams illuminated the dawn as the wind swept over the Othardian steppes. A village of yurts surrounded by a small herd of grazing horses could be seen on the steppes. A lone figure sat among the horses, scanning the distance. The light of the dawn shone on her white face, while the rest of her was covered in the traditional clothing of the steppes. Two black horns jutted out from her face, signifying her as a Xaela Au Ra.

Her violet eyes reflected the dawn’s birth, as her dark blue hair waved in the wind. She waited there every morning, before her chores, hoping to catch a glimpse of her heroine, astride a horse. The heroine often ranged far from the tribal group, a courier of their tribe; she’ve heard of devices and magicks that allowed an individual to communicate across long-distances during trade meets with other family units and tribes, but her family did not possess any such devices.

Chakha ran. It was a dark night, the light from the moon illuminated the Limsan coastline. She was a shadow, shifting from alleyway to roof to alley once more. Soon, she reached her target. It was the residence of a notorious raider of Garlean supply ships, and the target of her ‘test’ by her master.

A miqo’te woman in a loose buccaneer's dress, part of the crew from her colors, walked away from the house to nearby bushes. As Chakha approached, she could hear heaving noises. This was fortunate. She approach the woman’s back and thrust a needle into miqo’te’s neck. The miqo’te let a small cry which was quickly covered by Chakha’s hand. The female pirate struggled as the alchemical poison spread through her body and with a final desperate lash of her tail, she went limp.

Chakha swiftly set to work, stripping the miqo’te of her clothes and items. She put on the incapacitated pirate’s clothes. Turning the naked pirate over, she memorized the miqo’te’s body structure and face. With a mudra incarnation and a modified glamour crystal, smoke briefly obscured her form, resulting in the very image of the miqo’te that laid comatose.

Miqo’te Chakha stood up and after hiding the pirate in the bushes, checked her illusion and proceeded to walk somewhat sluggishly back to the house. She smiled at the guards, flanking the house. “Hey! Is thar you, C’nali?” A Sea Wolf drunkenly inquired, “Aye.” came the brief reply, “Heh. Heading back inside to see the captain? He’ll be expecting yah,” the guard grinned lewdly. The drunken pirate guards open the door for her, and miqo’te Chakha smiled as she walked right into the house.

Part 2Her tail swung as she sat on top of a particularly stubborn horse, who neighed in annoyance, but did not move. Suddenly, her horns vibrated as her tail lifted up in anticipation. In the distance, she spotted a lone rider approach the village; the figure on top the horse was tanned from traveling unprotected in the sun, her blackish-bluish hair a highlight among the primarily blue-haired tribe, a warrior-born who scorned the traditional role of the tribal woman as keeper of the yurt.

She yelped with glee and ran towards the figure, abandoning her horses and waking up some other members of the family, who simply glanced in her direction, aware of the cause of the girl’s excitement. As the figure rode closer, she could see the limbal rings of her eyes, something the girl regretted not having. She looked up as the heroine rode up into the camp, her tail nearly waggling with anticipation.“Welcome home, Big Sis!”
