Forest Omniri (f) - Trainer: Marysia and Day Asvalendi (High Princess)

Iamei and Omniri opted for a more direct knight and drak placement, among the armada wings. But by the time Iamei was 30 it was obvious that something deeper and disturbing was going on behind the trees and rocks of the surrounding lands. Izzy was the one who approached her, explaining that his old enemy - someone she'd only heard tales of - had been breeding huge Nex Necis and they had become a serious problem in the wilderness.

It would mean more training, and her fighting style helped her learn very quickly indeed. She did have to pick up more in the way of defensive moves that didn't involve blocking with her arms or body, because ... well, going up against Nex in the first place with nothing more than your arm meant you wouldn't have an arm. Dodging and rolling, abrupt movements, jumps and even climbing on their backs - that was going to be where she could shine!

She learned how to use small and highly effective sharp knives, they had a bunch made for just this purpose. She'd be able to keep a number of them on her person while they geared up to fight, and the moment she could reach the Nex's head - in it would go. That didn't stop the creatures from being dangerous even after their head was severed or their spine pierced: thrashing with those eight dangerously sharp limbs? But she trusted Omniri and her own skill in flight, dancing above their reach, sometimes losing a little tail fur but that was fine! She'd be able to grasp the tail and be lifted high up, as the Nex slowly lost its blood, or collapsed after exhaustion.

Iamei could finally come into her own, no longer known as 'that Mob kid' - she was now a Nex hunter, with confident draks and Knights to back her up! She took instruction directly from Epelia and listened carefully to Kuvod's teamwork lessons, they had to work perfectly as a team after all, if they were to rout out the groups of these extra-large dangers.
