New Season, New Approach

The masts from the ships could be seen from where Islana stood, watching as they came into port. She wasn't quite at the docks but close enough.

New ships meant another chance that Vasant or anyone he sent after her might be on one of them. It was another reminder to be cautious.

The idea of being captured by the man, still filled her with dread and a nauseous feeling in the pit of her stomach.

The redhead knew, now, she had people in her life that would defend her, but what if they just weren't around when and if he showed up.

Maybe, it was time to take another approach to this particular problem. An approach that didn't just amount to Islana just being scared about Vasant without much to do about an actual threat. A way to fight back, more useful than her just her bow, or random guessing at defensive moves.

The young woman turned from the docks, and, after a stop or two, would head home. It was time for another change. Well, maybe after the stings finished healing.
