Location: Arkora
Time frame: Current

*Arkora. A temperate world dominated by massive pine forests that span most of the planets land surface. These pine forest are broken up by frozen mountains to the north and humid jungles and hot deserts that encompass the equator. Arkora's human inhabitants are strange compared to the rest of the galaxy, not strange as in physical appearance, but strange in their technology level. The people of Arkora have what to develop out of what would be considered a medieval of Renaissance age, do to the fact that the planet was locked in a long ice age. For most of the people on Arkora, there is nothing beyond the heavens above them but the places where the various gods and goddesses call home. Telling them of great civilizations that could travel from planet to planet might draw a laugh or two from them though.*

*The sweet scent of pines filled the cool morning air as it drifted its way down to a young woman standing along a mud covered road. Calling the narrow muddy path a road was a stretch in her opinion. The mud itself was covered everything, covering her boots to halfway up her shins, and leaving specs of dried mud on her armor. She let out a sigh and turned to where a group of villagers were fixing a bridge that had been washed out by recent heavy rains that had plagued the area. Spring, that's what they told her, spring was the reason for the heavy rains here, and here was at the base of some of the most desolate mountains in the northern hemisphere. Here, was also where she'd rather not be. For three years she trained at the military academy and graduated top of her class, only to become a babysitter for one of the most northern villages around. The village in question used to be one of the most prosperous mining villages around, but the mines had run dry, leaving the village almost completely abandoned. Letting out another sigh, the young woman turned back to watch the sun finish rising over the horizon.*

"What's that matter Jenna? Hate your day like normal."

*The voice took her by surprise. Enough so she almost pulled her sword from its sheath. She turned and saw another guard standing behind her. He was giving a toothy grin, with what little teeth he had. His less then kept armor was covered in more mud then hers, how she didn't know.*

"Yeah. Why? Do you enjoy this mud pit" *The man gave a laugh and started walking away.*

"Take the easy jobs while you can kid. You'll live longer." *Tessa watched the man walk away. Shaking her head, she stepped off the road and began to climb the steep grade next to the road until she reached the edge of a field. The warm morning sun hit her face and warmed her, shaking off the morning cold. Steam lazily drifted off the field, matching the smoke rising from the village below. She turned her attention to the last fading morning star, hoping that something at least mildly interesting would happen around here.*
