Storm Silverhand

was the fresh evening of a sunny spring day, on which I strolled to the Hall of the Broken Sword to meet some old friends. Many days had passed since I had visited the Virtue Village the last time. The opening of the new village tower was due, and afterwards I planned to make a pilgrimage again, to explore the Lost Lands and Britannia.

I swung the door of the training hall open, and my eyes met at once the eyes of a strange lady. Very fair was her face, and her long hair was like a river of silver. Slender and tall she was, but strong she seemed, and stern as steel. This was the first time I met Lady Storm Silverhand, and I thought her fair, fair and cold like a morning of a pale spring, that is not yet come to womanhood.

"Greetings again" welcomed me KugelBlitz, and smiled. I greeted my friends, and KugelBlitz introduced me to the strange lady with the silver hair. "This is Sir McBykar, Knight of Valor" he said. She smiled softly, and looked me over. "This is Zsusa Storm Silverhand, daughter of Larkih" my friend explained. I couldn't help and muttered a word of surprise. "Gag me with a spoon!" These words escaped my lips every now and then, as I wasn't able to deny my origin completely, especially in moments of excitement. "It's a pleasure!" I bowed slightly, to show her my respect.
"He is ruggedly handsome" she whispered to her father. "Not a bad catch.." She smirked, as she noticed I heard these words.

Our conversation this evening lasted quite long, and I learned from her, that she was 17 years old, lived in the Kinship, and was very good at telling stories. And I soon should meet her again...
