Ilona dropped down into the longboat that was already full of her men. She had had to argue with both her younger brothers but in the end she had ordered them to stay and she was the Captain so they had to.
She wore tall black boots and breeches, a loose shirt with a leather corset over it, and a pair of fingerless leather gloves. On each hip, a long thin sword was sheathed. Her father and brothers liked to wield bigger and thicker blades but Ilona was quicker and more agile than them so she used blades that matched her style.
And she was a master at them.
Ilona knew she may disappoint her parents in some areas but at least her swordsmanship was never one of them.
