My new life: Penelope the star

I'm ready to take this world on as one with Penelope, " I'm coming, I'll be ready soon."

The figure befitting a female lead and a suit for women training with a sword. Tall leather brown boots stopping just above my knees, deep red pants, a leather brown vest and red shirt of the same soft material.

With awe everyone see me walk with my speed readers in hand. "My lord when did lady Retha dress with such power and grace." "Her beauty is unmatched now she must be out to take the world." As the servant gossip about, I'm met with an older lady, one that could be a mother, smiling with papers in hand.

"My o my dear Retha you haven't worn that since it was gift it to you by Jake, you had said it had no elegance." My lips curled up a bit and my eyes soft, " This gift is good, and so does it help me reach my goal, now please show my to the library then training grounds, thank you for your hard work Nanny."

Everyone gleefully, works harder and harder on the clean and decorations. As I'm looking over the decoration plan and I decided most of them should be fine, "Nanny could you make some of them more ferocious."

She begins to eye me, she face turned some, "Why did ask such a thing?" Making direct eye contact standing strong, "Elegance is great, but I'm no longer the pretty flower. I'm an elegant, yet strong. I'm beautiful and now I'm ruthless."

Tears of joy, eyes softened as a though a child has a new accomplishment in its mother. " My darling, go forth and bring proud to the Vanguard name. I'll make sure this banquet reflects your boundless spirit." She walks away, slowly wiping tears from her eye, as she thinks, " My darling child has finally grown, I see you independence growing with every step. You truly are a Vanguard, power not even the royal family can control." I enter the library with the look of triumph written across my face. I grab 1 history book and 3 on current  business trends, 1 on warrior training and 2 magazines. I smile and skip to the training grounds," I'll spent this four days to strengthen both body and mind to match my soul. Hmm now to this famous warrior style of combat." Giggling as I flip through all the books.

I just finished the ones on business trends as I sigh, "These trends are soo easy to see through. Business is the same no matter where you go."

Putting the books down and starts working on combat and swords training, "What exactly does Jake have that's not in the book?" Just then one of Penelope's memories came out, showing Jake in combat one year ago.

It's Penelope smiling from the sidelines, he has a have heavy blade keeps it low and come move his body like air flowing around it.

Each of his kicks swift long and fluid. His sword swings with force to knock someone over whoms not ready and the cutting force could cut through like butter. Just as the fight and memory ends, Retha has a great idea, " If he stays low and flows up hill, then I'll be a matching force faster and down hill to him!" Smiling, I began the preparation for a light strong sword, my speed and jumps.

Several hours later, I'm resting thinking about a business idea to capitalize. "Hmm well they could use a better fur trade and make.. that's it medicines and make up. Now all I need is an understanding of plants from this world and a lab."

I'm running to the library, I grab 3 books smiling. "Now Penelope what do you know about this Issac...", a memory of Issac reading books of history gleefully looking for something new to learn.

She thinks as if to find one thing this world won't allow to him that she could something to hold over his head. "No something that would turn everything he knows to nothing, my business only I would know I would have."

The system "You have been doing well and with only one item. For your first time you seem fluidly, but there is one question. Have you figured out your weapon of chose?"

Smiling with my chest out, " Of course and it will be that of poise and elegance, the noble art of war. Words as pretty as a flower with the sting of a dagger."

A smile dripping with mischievous and exciting, " What an amazing choice! Power of speech, mind and body. With this you will, allow them this smooth and painful ride to desperation and despair." We smile and chats a little.

My nanny comes and informs me that she has had a duel set up for me against other knights and warriors squadrons. "I was able to get a match or two from each style and I also have those plants and containers you asked for."

Smiling, "Thanks, I'll make sure to take care of you well so keep working hard." We hug, filled in a warm embrace. The next 2 days continue on like this plus some lab time perfecting my creations. I also speed my training up so I can be on par with my opponents and more. One the last day I ....
