~Aquarius~
I am the last of the Winterland Amazons. I was born to Iona a
fierce warrior of the Winterland amazons. She had men tremble at the mere
sight of her. We were named by the Shameness with a naming ritual. As I was
placed on the sacred Silver bear furs, rain came from the clear winter
sky thus Aquarius I was called.
      
    I was taught and raised to be a warrior like my mother the sword
being my favorite weapon. My world was shattered in the fifteenth winter
of my life. A fellow sister and I were away on a survival trek. When we
returned, our village laid in ruins and our mothers and sisters dead.
      
     I vowed to find who did this to them. After battling raiders two
years later, my sister was killed and I found out from a dying raider
what happen. Two Amazon sisters had betrayed the tribe to the Northern
raiders who wanted the land. They in turned were killed also by the same
raiders. I wandered for years fighting raiders, pirates, and warlords. In
time I become like my mother a fierce warrior. Men feared me and prayed
never to meet me in battle.
      
      I wander southward to a place I heard of only in stories. A place
where you did not wear furs all the time like I did. I stopped by this
breath taking waterfall to camp and desiring to settle in one place. I
was practicing my drills, just then an Amazon  appeared. She said her
name was  Nalysia and she had heard of my warrior skills and me.
       
        She invited me to join the Silver Moon Amazons her tribe. Bowing
to her, I accepted pledging my loyalty to her and my fellow brothers and sisters.
