3rd of Gaernus

Three seems to be my auspicious number. Three years from this very day I timidly walked across these well worn paving stones and requested, perhaps even demanded, an audience with the Abbess. How bold I was, a peasant girl with the dirt of the fields still between her toes, to ask for entrance into the Order of Aquae.

Three for principles I must remember as I leave the temple and begin my journey of service: duty, dedication and devotion. These three are entwined and wrapped tight as the rawhide hilt of my sword.
