With one word I could describe who, what, and everything
I have always been; Amazon.
Being an Amazon has always been with me although my life was much different from the Head Warrior of the Silver Moon Amazons.
When I was 13 years old and an Amazon Princess my whole world came crashing into chaos. My mother, Queen Penthesilea, was forced into a world against the man I had always known as father. Him and his army attacked my village by surprise on the night I was crowned Princess. My sisters and I were not prepared for what would befall us.
I saw my mother knock me to the ground and her take a burning arrow to save my life shot by who I called father, Atrius. A rage filled my heart as I released my dagger, the blade cutting his right eye down to his left cheek. He knew he had lost the battle and swore he finish what he had set out to do: kill me. I held my dying Mother and Queen, as she told me the truth: I was the daughter of a god. With her last breath, she gave me her sword and only told me it held something that Atrius had wanted and that could save or destroy the world.
One out of every three of my sisters was dead. There were only a few left while others lied injured and near Hades. I knew it was up to me to save the last of my tribe and while I left for help that night with a few other Amazons, Atrius came back to finish the job he started, by morning all my Sisters were dead, there was no woman or child left breathing.
I swore on my mother's grave I would avenge hers' and my Sisters deaths. My fight was just beginning and it would not end until I avenged their deaths. My journey finally lead me onto the path of the Silver Moon Amazons and it was here I learned peace and family. Years have since passed and I have grown up but I still remember my promise and one day I will
keep it but its different not. I keep the promise by living as an Amazon for my Sisters, all who have died for the Nation, Justice will be served not revenge for every Amazon who has fallen the Amazon Nation will live on forever. |
