Had Sandra been an Aqualarian woman, her choice of career would not have
drawn any
adverse comment. However, things were very different in the Great Kingdom,
where women were expected to know their place. That place was supposed to
be behind
their menfolk, supporting them and encouraging them. So Sandra's decision
to leave her home and become a soldier of fortune had been met with a
mixture
of disbelief and abuse. They had not been able to dissuade her, however.
Since nobody in the Great Kingdom would ever employ a female warrior, she had set off on the long journey south to Aqualaria, where she was sure that she would soon find work. She knew that the journey was not without its dangers for a woman traveling alone, for all that constant practice (in secret, naturally) had given her a fair degree of proficiency in the martial arts.
