[Two Brigitta posts in a row, what on earth could be wrong?

Well, many things in Brigitta's world, as is evident from her first fumbling step onto the Plane with her sword clutched in her hand, instead of her usual stride she just gapes for a few moments before letting out a extremely loud yelp that almost break into scream territory and half collapsing to the ground, still clinging onto her sword.

She pauses for a moment, staring around her with terrified eyes and then gulps] First back there with that man and now here, Stately Hera, glorious queen of fair Olympos please hear me, please...

[She takes a deep breath and then curls up, resting her chin on her knees and her sword in front of her, she's almost crying] I want to go home, my wedding is in a month, I can't miss it.

[OOC: Experiment start! For a week or so Brigitta will be back to her state of mind at fifteen years old, which means that she won't recognise anybody and will probably be terrified by a fair amount... She'll still stab you though, have fun! :D]

If you are, indeed from where your language suggests, then I applaud a woman as empowered as you.

[Blush] I'm not supposed to know so much, please don't tell anybody, I'm meant to be quitting.

[lamb_of_gold]

You have nothing to fear from me. There are many women warriors where I am from, and I have nothing but respect for them.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

[Wide eyes] ...Women who are warriors?

[lamb_of_gold]

Yes.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

...Wow, that must be fun for them [She sounds faintly wistful]

[lamb_of_gold]

If they did not possess the will and fortitude of spirit to succeed, they wouldn't be where they are.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

I... If I wasn't gonna be a queen I would want to be like that.

[lamb_of_gold]

What's to say you cannot be both? To the north and west of Greece, there are islands with warrior queens.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

I don't think my husband would like it though... I'm gonna have lots of warrior sons though! If I get back.

[lamb_of_gold]

I think he may appreciate some aspects of it - you certainly won't be kidnapped with any degree of ease. Besides, I heard a saying once, that strong woman made strong children.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

...Huh, I'll have to try that on ma once I get back, it might work.

[lamb_of_gold]

I would offer to teach, but I do not fight with weapons.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

...Teach me how to get the best of ma?

[lamb_of_gold]

Howso?

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

Nah, I meant... How can you teach me to get the best of ma?

[lamb_of_gold]

Forgive me, I misunderstood. I take it your mother is a warrior in her own right?

I fight mostly with what would seem like magic, but I'm quite proficient in hand-to hand fighting, using styles that are found far to the east of Greece.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

She was, she hasn't fought since she had Corinna though... Da always says that it's a pity.

You're a priest then?

[lamb_of_gold]

Did she teach you the sword?

Not quite.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

Nah, da did, ma kept having daughters and so he got a tiny bit impatient and wanted me to learn stuff.

Where did you learn magic then?

[lamb_of_gold]

I see.

I was born with the potential to use it, and my Master Shion taught me how to harness it.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

Oh... Is he your father?

[lamb_of_gold]

Heavens no. I never knew my father.

[oldoldghost.livejournal.com]

...You might be the child of a god then.

[lamb_of_gold]

Oh I'm certainly not.
