The Academy/School of Combat
Late Fall/Morning
Round 0
Asherah lay back on the floor, her vision narrowing, her body in incredible pain. But she felt power flowing through her. It felt familiar, yet new. Her vision wavered and a face loomed over her, a Tabaxi, with orange and black striped fur. He was dressed in armor with a large sword on his back.
“Rest,” he said, his fingers brushing her eyes to close them. “All will be well, Favored One.”

Asherah awoke in the school infirmary. Her injuries had been healed and she rose stiffly. Power crackled between her fingers. It looked familiar, like the energy she saw her relatives channel in their clerical rites. She felt a strength in her body that hadn’t been there before.
Despite the urgings of the nurses, Asherah left the infirmary and walked to one of the chapels in the School of the Divine. As she entered, some spell effect wavered over the place, changing the decor so it looked like one of the shrines her people worshiped at. But not like those of her family, the shrines to Felis. No, this shrine had a martial theme, scenes of battle.
Kneeling before the altar, Asherah breathed out a low growl. “Tigrr.”
The image on the altar wavered, grew, and stepped down. “I am here, Favored One,” he said, raising his hand in blessing over her.
“This...This is...I am not of the warrior caste,” Ashera blurted out. “I am not worthy enough to serve you.”
“Do you doubt the will of your god?” Tigrr growled.
“No!” Asherah gasped, prostrating herself. “Never!”
“Then go, learn. Know that I have chosen you. Your path will be difficult, but know I am with you.”
The shrine grew silent and Asherah remained there prostrate for an hour before she rose and headed to the School of the Divine.
***
During the next few months, Asherah split her time between the combat school, learning to use her weapons, and the divine school, learning to hone the power she felt inside of her.
