The Kusarian Wolf

[Zapp]

I never did learn her name. I don't think anyone did, except maybe the Taishogun. He is a wise man, and I recall once Ookami entered his hall to speak to him. Ah, what I would have given to see that meeting. But I digress.

Soon, Ookami gained notoriety throughout Kusari as a feared warrior. The Naval Forces tried again and again, yet even their elite fighters failed; it was not that they could not best her in combat, but that they could not catch her when they did. Some considered her a terrorist. Others a hero. I'm not sure she was either of those, though. It seemed to me she was more of a warrior with a mission, one which she pursued relentlessly -- to the detriment of the Kusarians.

Then, as I'm made to understand, news of her actions reached Bretonia. Perhaps it was through Queen Carina's Privateers, or our brothers who visit Bretonia on rare occasion. She became a media sensation. No one knew who she was, because they never saw her face or heard her voice. The mystery surrounding her filled everyone with wonder, and suddenly ever missing woman was turned into a warrior fighting all of Kusari, alone and far from home.
