A Sword Into Those Hands

The Aube Hunters are traveling in disguise through a town when Angelique is kidnapped off the street. Three guys find out that Angelique is the "Queen's Egg" but say she fooled everyone and that she is a fake. They blame her for the invasion of Thanatos and plan on beating her up except an excellent fighter woman steps in and saves Ange by beating the men. The rest of the group find Ange but are forced to hide in town as the men round up others to find Angelique. It turns out the woman is a Captain of a ship and offers them a ride to Orage, a town near to Celestizam. The group is expected to work and help onboard in return for the ride. During the voyage however, a Thanatos attacks the ship. Before the Hunters can act however, "Captain" orders them to stay put and they witness how the crew deals with Thanatos. Angelique admires "Captain" for being able to protect her men and crew. She requests that "Captain" teach her how to fight with a sword in which all the Aube Hunters object. Angelique argues she wants to be able to protect people too, not just be protected as she was helpless to stop the Mansion from burning. After a day of training with the sword, "Captain" tells Ange she is not suitable for the sword and stops helping her practice. Angelique does not give up and practices on her own everyday. A few days later the ship is attacked by the same Thanatos from earlier. This time the Hunters handle it and "Captain" realizes who Ange is and is amazed. Upon arrival at Orage, "Captain" lets Angelique keep the clothes as well as the sword as a gift. She also reveals her name to be Sedna, which she only tells to friends.
