"If you go, you will be just like your father!" Awai shouted after her daughter. Stopping for just a brief second, Naia said "...and if I stay, I will be just like you, who never left the village and never saw anything beyond these hills". That made her mother's eyes darken "There is enough for everyone here. Our people are safe. You are safe!" her mother said, her voice harsh. "Out there, there is no telling waht you will find... but I know one thing: men... and men will want to possess you and own you. Here, you can find a good man who won't -own- you!"

Naia drew a breath to respond, but instead she clenched her fist around her sword and calmed down. Arguing with her mother only made her stay longer. It was time for her to go. "I have -no- interest in the men here..." then she turned her back towards her mother and started walking, ignoring her mother's shouts.
