Alexis Conall - Prior to Princessdom
āWeapon I specialize in?ā Alexis asked, a bit confused. She thought a bit, tilting her head this way and that to contemplate her practices. Different weapons were always available wherever she went so she practiced with what she couldā¦ āI just practice with thatās available. Swords, bow staffs, axes, scythesā¦ Iāve never really claimed a weapon as my own.ā Was that a bad thing to not have done? In the Aries kingdom, everyone trained with the same weapons. Those who didnāt shared weapons. There wasnāt much of an individualization factor in her past military experienceā¦
As the Princess lead her to a storage room, she followed, watching as the door was unlocked and she was allowed inside. Her eyes widened, scanning the room around her. This was impressively large for an arsenal. Her fingers trailed along the flat surfaces of the swords, gazing at their patterns. āWould I like to have one? I think I would. After all, these are extremely well made.ā Not technically better than Aries weaponry but just as impressive in a different way. She blinked a bit when the Princess offered for her to have one. Alexis turned to her, shocked. āI can really keep one as my own?ā
Excitement ran through her. A Leo weapon! How awesome would that be? Her eyes already wanted to part from the Princessās to see which to claim as her own. Yet, an anxiety rose from her stomach. She knew she could master any of the weapons in the room to some extent but which one would be her trademark weapon? Her attention returned to the Princess as she encouraged her. She listened to her account, her own memories returning to the moment she was tasked with training for 3 years straight. The Princess said to kick his assā¦ But Alexis didnāt want to fight. Yet, a part of her, her prideful heart, refused to be insulted in such a way. Part of her refused to let this Prince walk all over her. Vengeance was necessary.
Alexis turned her eyes to the weaponry around them, feeling extremely homesick. Her eyes settled on something familiar and somewhat out of place in the Leo arsenal. Coming over, Alexis picked up the curving sword, resting it in her hands. The scimitar was quite simple, with a long reach. However, it was a slashing weapon, one with more precision and more of a curve than other swordsā¦ Yet, it had the wider width, like an attempt of mimicking a long sword. Alexis held it in her hand, giving it a slash here and there. It was heavier than a usual scimitar, tooā¦ āThis is a very strange weapon you have here. Scimitarās arenāt usually made like this.ā She made another slash, both hands on the hilt. āNot very practical as one either.ā
