Song: Theme of the Advancing Army by Konami Kukeiha Club


The waves crashed, pushing and churning, pressuring the make up of the boat to break, to give, to bend. Under her command, the rickety old ship was tossed in the waves but it did not yield to the demands of the blue beyond; the wood groaned against the constant beating of ocean water, the spray soaking the crew, threatening to drown many and making good on its promise, but that was before she took over.

She did not yell, but her voice carried, drowning the water unto itself. She did not panic, despite the angry and frantic tsunami of crushing water that poured over the boat. Her feet did not move, even though the ocean tossed the ship, trying in vain to careen the wooden contraption into the narrowly exposed rocks. Green eyes stared unwavering into the distance, challenging the sharp blasts of yellow and purpe lightning, unfettered by the swollen murky clouds, without mercy unto the dark and fathomless depths of her opponent.

She stood against the ocean, and she would not be bested.
