Serene, braaaaaains.... welcome to Cork
Serene woke up thinking about brains. Eating brains. She saw her reflection and her face was painted like a zombie. Her house looked like a big brain. Ugghnnn what was she carrying?
Everything was weird and distorted.
Did her new steward have a weird sense of humor?

Wait wait! She was really asleep and it was all a dream. Or nightmare as the case may be.

Serene woke up really, grabbed her axe and started whacking down trees to vent her frustrations.

After a day chopping wood, Serene feels better, less zombie-ish. But wow just look at that pile of wood! 9 wood in one day. She wondered if Apoc would be impressed as she dragged it to the market. " Much better than the 5 logs I got last time. Feeling zombie-ish makes for good wood chopping!"

Serene was feeling a little sick from her zombie like day, and stopped by the temple. For the first time when she got a blessing she felt like nothing happened. She shrugged and wondered at this.
(Apr 2, 1653 2:22 pm Grendel (Priest of the Temple) has accepted your request (Laying Of Hands) You feel like nothing happened.) o>O

She went for a training duel with Zechin. She got a little better she thought. Though she forgot to put her axe down and ended up using it in the duel! "I can't believe I put the axe at risk in a duel!"


Afterwards, She heads to her workshop and calls Juan to come too. "Here you can watch as I show you the basics of chopping up meat." Serene starts working, hoping he is more intelligent than Aiden was.

Serene ran around in a frenzy, packing for her trip, getting things off the market, and collecting her things from the army.

Serene ask Juan to hire for her field. She hoped he would find someone.

Bravia was a magnificent capital city. They had beautiful strawberry fields.
She got a bucket and strolled through the fields looking for the perfect berries.

Serene found two nice berries. She kept them in her bucket.
It was fun to go walking through the fields looking for ripe berries.

She was happy Juan reported getting someone to pick the broccoli.

Serene headed off with the group to see new horizons.

Serene had grabbed a boat from the Bravia market as they left. She was glad she did as she saw the beautiful lake in Paz. She excitedly ran down to the lake and put her boat in the water. A few lazy days on the lake were in her future. :)
Well maybe lazy... Zechin had challenged her to a duel so maybe it wouldn't be totally lazy.

After fishing a while, She visited the tavern. She saw a dead dragon, but it turned out it wasn't dead at all. The report of its death in the news was wrong. It is hard to tell if dragons are alive or not she decided.

Serene was nervous and excited! The army to go yvyrm hunting was being formed.
It will be the first time, she has done anything offensive in an army. All of the work she has done has been defensive, protecting the town.

Would they succeed at killing the yvyrm or would they be the ones who ended up dead?

Serene worked the mines in Paz to see what they looked like.
She decided she liked fishing better. She happily lay in the boat and fished.

Rieron and Scarlet gave her a present of a new outfit. She felt so pretty she danced and seemed to float as she walked.

Rieron had told her to go for a swim. She confessed to not knowing how to swim.

Now maybe her sister Cassandra might teach her to swim! Or if they did get to have a picnic...!
So many fun possibilities! A day at the beach sounded so delightful.

This was turning out to be the best day ever. Her thought were running in circles in her head. She was glad no one was around to see how disarrayed her thoughts were.

She thought that Scarlet might be pregnant. But she wasn't sure enough to ask.

Serene had enjoyed her time at the beach! Roasting fish was fun. There was good company too.

The days of fishing seemed to blur together. One day much like the next. She spent an hour or so each scraping off fish scales and removing innards. This was definitely not her favorite part.
Some of the fish she salted and dried for later consumption and some she enjoyed fresh. Trout for breakfast lunch and dinner.

Serene was becoming quite tan. Her parasol had a hard time protecting her fragile skin. Usually she burned in the sun, but day after day on the lake was giving her a tan.

She smiled in satisfaction thinking of her name in the newspaper. She had won a duel! It was a training duel followed the next day by a loss. But it was a pleasant high.

She got a report on her corn field and was very disappointed.
13 corn was all. Two hires of 25 & 26f! Plus the cost of having a steward!
How do people do it! She wondered. Just to break even she would have to sell the corn much higher than the 3f she listed it on the market for. She wondered if she should throw in the towel and give up on farming. Even at 3f the corn was not selling.
She pondered what she should do about it. She only got one worker point for the hiring as the peasant was too lazy to give her one! She sighed and wondered if she would ever get to save enough to get a way. Today to her it seemed very unlikely. It discouraged her greatly.

"Oh stop feeling sorry for yourself!" Serene scolded herself and she turned her thoughts to the beach party she had gone to.

Serene had worked in the mines. She had found a clear stone.
It was so pretty, she put it in her pocket as she left the mine for the day.

Picking up her bucket, she heads to to strawberry fields.
