"River reeds and dark pampas grass swayed violently in the gusts that night. A nameless place within the desert offered shelter to two meek shadows.

Nipaeri's T3 story
"River reeds and dark pampas grass swayed violently in the gusts that night. A nameless place within the desert offered shelter to two meek shadows. A small patch of grass surrounded a rivulet, and a dozen palm trees guarded the shelter from the fierce desert wind. A young man and woman held onto each other, their knees on the harsh grass. They were fatigued and terrified. Their journey to freedom was almost complete. For the past two days, they were on a run for their lives. Peony and Varin were slaves, escaping a life of captivity and misery, and risking death in the pursuit of freedom. They were secretly betrothed.
They started their forbidden journey at a slave camp. Taking turns, they built a ferry from scratch. To keep the pretense of appearances, one or the other would work on the ferry, hidden behind a hill close to the Nile river; the other would work with the other slaves and hope that the foreman's watchful eyes suspected nothing. Varin had heard about Seven Lakes and inspired Peony. It was a lush, fertile land where everyone was free, and a commoner could own a compound and land. There, the Pharaoh had fashioned a law out of the people's voices and crime was very rare.
The couple hastily prayed to Osiris and sailed off. Before they could be out of sight though, the watchful foreman noticed their disappearance and summoned help in following and capturing them.
Now, they were on their track. If they were caught, as runaway slaves often are, they would be killed instantly.
Guessing that the foremen could not find them in a sandstorm, Peony and Varin doze off and fell asleep.
The next morning, Peony found herself alone. Upon surveying her shelter, she found small paw prints leading into the distance... And footprints following them. Varin had run away with a feline! Peony tried to console herself by reminding herself that he always had a thing for the furry children of Bast. "But I still can't believe my betrothed left me for a cat," thought she. "He probably joined their sect now." She waited for hours. Her ebony skin glistened with sweat; her black hair hung like straw. Warm green eyes studied the barren landscape.
She decided to move on. Her heart waved goodbye to Varin. Her soul wished he would find home and happiness among the cats. She secretly mocked Bastet. But brushing all these things aside, she resumed her travel. Within a day, she set foot in Seven Lakes, at the home of a kind peasant. She was warmly welcomed and shown around. A bustling center of commerce and learning, Seven Lakes was situated between another busy region called Karnak, and the deserts. On her first day, Peony joined a guild, and on her second, established a compound on her own land by one of the famed lakes.
The foremen may have lost her track, but she decided throwing caution to the wind was foolish. She started referring to herself as Nipaeri, meaning "feather of Isis" - a rare exotic herb grown on the peaks of the most treacherous and steepest cliffs. In Seven Lakes, nobody knew that she had once been called Peony.
In her new life, Nipaeri frequented the School of Worship and the School of the Human Body. Deeply pious, she loved all the deities. The Elders at these academies taught her how to forage for herbs in the wild, how to cook, and how to harvest. She loves these things above all. Her dream was to become a renowed vintner and cook. She loved the brotherhood of guilds and desired to contribute to their growth.
At night, when the caps of mushrooms mirrored the moon's rays, Nipaeri missed Varin and often thought of him."
