Nergui, as a priestess, wasn't traditionally thought of as a warrior, but the dark skinned mare had developed quite the love of battle. It was convenient then, that she more often then not excelled when she found herself in such chaotic and brutal situations. Such skills were not simply owed to luck however. Nergui had taken to training as of late, alone usually, though she certainly wouldn't have minded an opponent. The targets and dummies could only offer so much of a challenge.
Black steal blade in hand, the mare was at it again as the pumpkin sun began to dip in the sky, bathing everything in deep reds and oranges. The shadows were growing, and it was only a matter of time before the dark skinned priestess herself would blend into them as she worked.
Wood splintered as she struck at the body of a dummy, and she gave a fierce cry as she tore her blade free for another blow. Again and again she chopped at the thing, until finally a vicious swing saw her scimitar clean through the neck, sending the head to clatter to the ground and roll away.
She stood there, panting, her blade still raised, and stared down at the thing, dark satisfaction pulling at her lips until white teeth blazed in the contrast of her face.

Lan was nobility, a rank that had certain privileges. One being that they could choose where they were in battle, when they joined. Unless a direct order, they didn't have to do much on the front lines. Yet, to ignore learning would be a grievous error.
Bow in hand, white training robes with so few adornments and details on her person, hair in a simple tie- she went late to train in the darkness, to move without being seen as her cousin had put it. A thing she'd yet to master. Her arrival so late had her expecting no others, that she would be alone. Seeing the dark skinned priestess had her pause, coughing lightly to catch her attention. "Neru was it?" A small bow of her head.
"I didn't expect to see another training so late." She motioned to the dummy. "Nice hit by the way."

Lan wasn't the only one who hadn't expected to meet anyone else that evening. Adrenaline still high, the small cough made the priestess start, and she jerked around, blade at the ready, only to relax seconds after and let her weapon fall to her side. "Lan." In her pale robes, the conquest noble stood out brightly against the growing shadows, and even unadorned, she looked lovely.
The bow was returned, and she offered the other mare a smile when she spoke her name, nodding in affirmation. At the compliment she glanced back at the dummy, eyeing the severed stump of the neck before grinning. "Nor I, it's usually quite empty this late." Most of the horsemen would have retreated to their huts and fires, but Nergui liked the darkness.
A flick of those mismatched eyes took in the length of the other woman's bow, and the corner of her lips twitched. "Since we'll both be training anyways, would you care for a friendly spar?"

Lan was an archer, trained to lead her forces from behind the front lines, never dirty her hands directly unless the situation called for it. Perhaps in theory, once, it had been a sound strategy. Now it was hindrance, Lan needing to learn close combat, how to move quicker, remain nimble while targeting- she needed to become better.
"A good choice, something I've been need to improve on." The cut was met with a wince, robe taking more damage than her pride.

Power and safety. Simple goals. A bit difficult given the state of some, but overall, a modest ideal. A good thing to strive for-
Unlike her, ever shifting, ever expanding. "You are a modest mare Miss Nerugi, but I fear I am not. I doubt I will ever fall into the ranks of my fellow noblewomen when it comes to such." She was too headstrong, too stubborn, too spoiled.
Too full of pride.
"I strive for much the same, though I have begun to see a new goal in mind." Her bow strung, the arrow fired.
"I design to one day perhaps, be a general in the emperor's army. The life of a second or third wife, or even as a favored concubine would not content me. If not a general, I will strive to be one who might change the course of conflict as it were."

"Do not misunderstand, My Lady. I intend on doing great things on the road to my ultimate goals." She grinned as she brought her sword up before her, the dull arch of her blade resting against lifted fingers as she stared past it at the conquest noble. Circling slowly.
A blow came for her, and she swung to defend, but the bow caught her hip, drawing a wince and a hiss from the dark skinned mare. There would be a bruise there later, she could tell by the sting and throb.
But it would be rude to let a little thing like pain get in the way of their conversation, so she grit her teeth, brought her weapon up again, and smiled at the other horsewoman. "I am Priestess because I was born to be, but I am warrior through passion and persistence." She excelled on the battle field, so she had come to love the thrill that came with it. Much to a certain guardian's chagrin, no doubt. It was terribly difficult guarding a priestess that longed to be in the front lines.
She swung, aiming for the pale mare's thigh.

"Ultimate goals?" Lan was interested. After all, some paths might cross, prove beneficial in the future- it was always wise to gather allies early wasn't it? "I am a noble by birth, and I will always be one. I can be other things, but at my core I know what I am, I am a being born from greatness, destined for greatness. Mastering battle, the arts- I will rise in the courts. Time will see to it. My efforts will see me rise. Once-" A flash of an old wound, of what she'd lost.
"Once I would have need another by my side, yet that is no longer an option. When I rise it will be by my skill and my will alone. And I have no doubts." She smiled. "A noble should never has reason to doubt after all. All the same, where does a priestess rise? As far as I knew, your kind do not have much in the way of ranks and those close to Death are well..." She trailed off and shot an arrow at Neru.
