On November 16, 2022, I announced my induction into the National Society of Collegiate Scholars over my social media after receiving a nomination from the staff at Full Sail University for my academic achievements. This prestigious collegiate society includes many of our organization's most extraordinary NSCS distinguished honorary members, including former president Jimmy Carter, U.S. Ambassador Dr. Robin Renee Sanders, the late Senator John McCain, and former U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Donna Shalala. I am a proud member of their society, and with their help, I will have earned scholarships to further my education toward my degree in the program.   Due to my unique needs, I work twice as hard as anyone else to keep up and achieve my life goals, which led me to such a membership nomination. My special skill sets and unique understanding allow me to develop an understanding of even the hardest of tasks, but not without a challenge. It has given me many experiences and a new set of skills in programming with Unreal Engine, Python Coding, team management skills, Canva, animation skills, Adobe Photoshop, and much more. I have leadership, mentorship, time management, organizational skills, and much more to offer the workforce to help get projects and meet deadlines. I can quickly speak or understand various languages spoken to me, and I have studied French, Italian, Scottish Gaelic, Irish, Hawaiian, Japanese, Latin, Swahili, Greek, Romanian, and Navajo. I quickly pick up anything I do not know or understand to see that the job gets done, and I work very well in a team.

The Underworld and rise of the Black Lady

by Captain Seiren Wavestrider

The shore lapped around my frame I could feel the damp clothes on my body turning ever colder, but I cared very little as I was used to the cold. The sand under me was coarse and the air smelled different. I knew I was not on the surface, but somewhere much different. I was suddenly poked in the ribs by a sharp object causing me to groan and let my eyes flutter open. A tall drow woman stood over me spear now pointed at my neck and from peripheral vision, I could see a few more spears pointed in my general direction. I was so far not having a good day. I blinked a few times to clear my eyes and allow them to adjust to the dim light of the world around me. I could tell I was not on the surface now for above me was a pitch black sky with no stars or moonlight when I looked to the sea it too was the same pitch black as the sky and smelled not of the sea I knew on the surface. This was not my surface world, but clearly, I had managed to be displaced into the underworld.
 
I held up my hands in surrender used to being held at the end of a weapon I knew as well that the odds were not in my favor. I did what I knew best and spoke a single word to them, "Parley?" This was the word of a pirate and it meant I was willing to negotiate without being attacked until the parley was complete. I was asking for some temporary protection and to see the person in charge to discuss my terms of surrender and hopeful release. My request was met with confused looks which had me sigh as I figured they did not understand my language it only took a few moments before one of them spoke in broken common to address me. I told them who I was and had no idea how I got where I was. I was willing to follow them to their leader to negotiate the terms of my release so I could find my husband and the rest of the party I was traveling with.
 
I was motioned to stand and follow them no longer at spearpoint now as they believed I would not do them any harm mostly because they had the numbers at the moment. I was told our journey would be a few days. As they took me toward the caravan I noticed men in cages with bindings and strange markings. It was explained to me had I been a man they would have ignored my request and simply taken me as a new slave. This caused me to blink in confusion and question them further as we started our journey to the main city. Over the next few days, I learned where I was and the customs of these strange new people. I also learned that to survive here I had to adapt to my situation as I was alone, which meant that I had to overcome one of my weaknesses...being unable to read or write. All so I could understand the road signs and the shop signs or the language being spoken to me.
 
After a few days with these people, I was taken into the queendom of Wndersidhe (Oonder-shee) and to the queen, Queen Husari. The queen and I discussed personal aspects of my life as I was in no position to lie to the woman. I told her the truth about who I was and my background. She offered me a job working for her as a privateer of sorts. I was told to find stray men take them prisoner and transport them to the capital to be branded as slaves and sold. She explained that the Underdark was ruled by women and no man was allowed to be free. I wasn't fond of slaves, but her idea of not allowing the men to stomp all over them as was the case in the overworld got my attention. I did notice that they didn't treat the male slaves very well at all and I vowed silently to not sink to that level unless I needed to.
 
In exchange for this offer of serving her. She gave me a ship to name myself as I saw fit with a crew. I asked her if she would be kind enough to allow me to study basic language skills that I lacked to which she agreed and provided a tutor as part of my crew who was my first mate. Over the next two months, I slowly gained a reputation for capturing men using myself as bait mostly before the rest of the crew charged in and finished the job. I learned to read and write with the help of my first mate and using my new knowledge of the Underdark I named the ship Storm of the Black or The Storm. The simple reason was the crew took care of matters like a storm quickly and effectively with the teachings of the overworld knowledge I had departed on them in exchange for them taking care of my needs.
 
My reputation earned me the title of Lady of the Black or Black Lady. I was the queen's right hand and she was my best customer. Each male I brought her would net me a few coppers the more exotic the male, the better the money. Using the gold I earned I invested in learning a second trade to further make myself useful to the Queen. I studied the only weapon I could remember the magical gun taken from one of the males that had managed to come from the overworld to the Underdark. I was given books on artificer class to further help my studies causing me to eventually earn this as a secondary job class.
 
My crew took some time to accept my policy of Parley to the males that we captured, but in time they learned that my reason was simple. Everyone no matter the race or sex of the being was to be given some form of dignity while in my charge. They were to be treated as part of the crew or jailed depending on the choices that they made. Most of the time this worked since when they saw the other men doing the chores on board the ship before being taken to port and learning they were about to get it worse most begged to stay part of the crew as chore boys or extra muscle for the women. I brought this thought up to the Queen who dismissed it, but I told her my husband was raised by me much in this same respect and the love between us had him protect me no matter how dumb my plans were.
 
She only laughed at me and I wished that my husband was with me when she had. I rubbed the area where his bite was missing him more with each passing day. I let the crew know that it was my ship and my rules were law if they did not like them. They could enjoy the black sea in bedpan as I set them adrift on it. The weeks that followed showed some of the women taking my idea to heart and found that the males worked better when not being beaten silly at least until we got to port. Port authorities were different and didn't understand my customs, but at least I warned the men as they changed hands they could have come by way of caravan it was much worse. At least when they left me they were clean and fed so they fetched a better price.
