Sarina

“They seem more interested in that strawberry milk than the training dummies,” a sparring master at The Dojo grumbled. It was true. While others practiced katas until their arms ached, Sarina spent their time poring over old maps and charting forgotten paths. Their pack held not extra shurikens, but trail rations and spare lenses for their specs. When a sudden winter squall sealed the main pass to the lake, stranding several trainees, the best fighters saw only an impassable wall of snow. It was Sarina, quietly sipping their drink, who pointed to a nearly invisible goat trail on an ancient scroll. They led the rescue party through, their calm resolve a better guide than any sword. They returned not to boast, but to simply refill their bottle.
