The Warrior Treasa

This is a story like no other, this is a story of a woman who loved and lost everything.

Treasa was the greatest warrior in the Southern Starshore, she could summon the power of the suns and stars to help her defeat the enemy. But we will be telling a different story.

Treasa ran through the town, laughing as she did. Two young men chased her, but she was faster. "You guys are going to have to catch up if you want to capture me," she shouted, still laughing like a child.

"You're not going to get that far," one of the men shouted back, "Watch me!"

The men chasing Treasa were her best friend and her beloved, she had pulled a few pranks on both of them and they were not pleased. They wanted payback, hence the chase through the town square.

"Treasa get back here!" the man on the left said, "Oh, my lovely Zeph you will never catch me," as the words left her mouth, Zeph summoned a wall of stars, and Treasa didn't have enough time to counter the move. She was sent flying backward to the arms of her best friend Clay.

"Gotcha you little troublemaker, you owe me free drinks for the rest of your life," Clay said, holding Treasa still so that she could not escape. "It was a harmless prank, I can buy you a new cloak," she said, "That's not the point, Treasa that was my favorite cloak."

She finally agreed to pay for Clay's drinks for the rest of her life to repay the damage to Clay's favorite cloak.

Zeph was quiet on the walk back to the campus, which was worrying he was rarely quiet. Treasa wondered what he was thinking, but she didn't want to intrude on his thoughts.

Suddenly Zeph pulled Treasa into an alleyway, "Zeph, what are you-" she was quickly cut off by Zeph's lips meeting hers. The kiss was needy and full of the love that both of them felt for each other. They both pulled away to catch their breath, "What was that for?" Zeph just smiled, "That was for putting Danny in my bed," Treasa just chuckled.

They made their way back to the campus, as they passed through the gates the courtyard was in a state of panic, which could only mean one thing. They were under attack.

Treasa got into her position on the wall and summoned her power, wiping out a third of the enemy. But just as she was about to summon her power again, a spear of pure fire was shot from the enemy and was headed straight for her. At the last second Zeph pushed her out of the way.

"NO!" Treasa screamed as she saw the spear go through the man she loved.

She caught his body before it hit the ground, "No, no, no, no, Zeph stay with me. Please, this is not where you die, this is not how it ends!" Treasa said through tears. Zeph reached his hand up to her face and wiped away her tears, "Treasa, I will be waiting for you in the field of stars. I love you, now and forever," he said, Treasa screamed in anger and grief as she felt the heart of her beloved stop.

Treasa stood up and turned toward the army that lay before her, and with all of her fury, anger, loss, and love. She unleashed the power of a thousand suns upon the enemy. Her fellow soldiers look at her in awe and horror, Treasa's power was unlike anything they had ever seen.

After the smoke and dust had settled, Treasa was nowhere to be found along with the body of Zeph. Far away from the battlefield and the town, Treasa brought Zeph to a field, under a willow tree. She buried him there and burned his name into the trunk of the tree.

One day she will join him in the field of stars, but not today. Today she will mourn her loss and help the wounded.
