A past excerpt from Raina's early days as a Pegasus Knight
A young Pegasus flier could be seen making her way back to be a military camp of sorts, the setting sun could be seen past the hills overlooking the camp. Mercenaries could be seen walking in and out of the stronghold, some were tending to the stables whiles others were speaking with potential clients and filling out paperwork.
"Looks like we made it back in time, Guinevere. That's good, I'd hate to get chewed out by the boss again..." Said the young flier as she motioned for her stead to prepare for landing.
Landing near the stables, the girl hopped of the back of the Pegasus and promptly stretched with lance still in hand. She then gentle rubbed the head of the stead as a sign of a job well done. One of the stable workers walked up to the pair, his hands covered with dirt and hay.
"Oi, Raina, I see you're back. I take it your last job went pretty well this time, eh?" Said the worker.
Raina turned at her named being called, she greeted the worker with a confident smile.
"You could say that. I think the Chief will be quite impressed with the turnout this time around!""That right, kiddo? Haha, you weren't lookin' so hot when ya first started out. I recall some of the others sayin' that ya once nearly fell off your winged friend there mid-flight!"
Her face growing rosy from embarrassment and irritation, Raina gave the worker her stead's saddle strap. Or rather, she slapped it onto his chest for him to take her Pegasus back into the stable.
"Easy there, lassie, just givin' ya hard time for sport. It's all well-meanin', I assure ya." Chuckled the man.
"Whatever, just take good care of Guinevere will you. I have to check back in with the Chief." Snapped Raina, as she made her way to the hall entrance.
As she faded from view, of the man's fellow coworkers walked up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Hey, did you tell her the news? Y'know, how this will probably be the last time that we'll get to tend to her Pegasus?"
The man tending to Raina's stead gave a large sigh at his friend's inquiry. "I didn't have the heart, I know she's workin' hard to support he family. But due to the lack of work and requests in this area, the Captain's gonna have to downside the company. And it's always the rookies who're the first to go."
"I hope she doesn't take it too hard, I hear it's been like that for here for sometime. Rumor has it she was once heir to some noble family back in Brudel. Not sure what happened, but I think they got caught up in some shady business and got tossed out. Hence why she's travelling around as a mercenary."
"Ya shouldn't be talking about private matters so casually, ya lout! Now help tend to Guinevere here, the least we can do is ensure her last stay here is a good one."
