[RPG] [SWI][Ik] Alanna Anaris ~ Departure, Again—This Time, Whole

[Timothy Collett]

Not wishing to make this departure a big production like her last one  
from Ikalak was, Alanna slips down to the docks with nothing but a  
small pack, hoping to go unnoticed by all.

Standing by the nearest ship, she glances back, looking up at the  
city that had once held her heart...or at least, one like it had.   
Gods, I thought I could do something good here.  But I suppose it was  
good for me in a way...at least now I know that I can be myself, even  
in Ikalak, and not lose myself.  And I know what I want, too.  I want  
glory.  I want victory.

I want...power.

Turning, she boards the ship, hands a few coins to the captain, and  
slips into the cabin to await her arrival in her new home away from  
home.
