Myrrna's Side Story

Myrrna stared out into the streets below. She looked at her proud female tribe. She felt proud and pleased with the way everything worked. Her smile only faltered when she remembered who it was that was sitting in a chair not far from her.

Kahn. That bald man who was cocky and arrogant, like her. They were the same and different at the same time.

Not because they both were warlords, or being male and female. They just both had a lose of something. Let it be family, a love one, or even faith. They just had that ability to know about the other that would scare others.

Today was the of the fights on Thesera, as their agreement required until the new island could be built. Unfortunately for her, Kahn decided to leave later due to living not far from the Amazon Territory.

But she knew the real reason he was here. He wanted to get under the Amazon Queen's skin. All the Scholars want to do is know your deepest darkest secret. And turn it into blackmail.

"You were once as princess. A beautiful daughter of the once proud Queen Lysippe." Kahn saw the Queen eyes begin look sad. "A princess of the island of Amazon woman. If I remember the story correctly, you fell in love with a boy who washed up on your little island."

Myrrna hated how that man knew everything. He was a source of information that he twist into his own words. But she knew that he did not use it to mock her. It was away to get to her center. To see if she had emotions. The proof that she could feel.

She was the same as he. They both shared tragic pasts that turned them into what they are today. The day she stopped dreaming of fairytales and faced reality.

Not far off from the Greek island, in the vast Ionian Sea, laid island that was filled with all kinds of birds and plants. Both Animals and reptiles lived here as well. It was a peaceful island. The only people who lived here were warrior women along with dancers, singers, and different kinds of artists. They all lived in peace thanks to the whirlpools that surrounded the island as a protector.

Today was very lively for the island. The young princess Myrrna, daughter of Queen Lysippe, was of age where she could be claimed as a woman of the tribe. The coming-of-age ceremony was a rite that honors femininity, renewal, rebirth and balance that marks the passing of these insight and values from one generation to the next.

It was an exciting time for the female tribe. All the women were busy preparing for the princess ceremony, that no one realized that the princess was no where to be seen.

On one of the sandy beaches, a young blonde hair girl was walking along the shore collect seashells. Her pet Komodo named Ki-lee scurried right behind her.

It was always a great idea to collect seashells and any other artifacts that have washed up on shore last night's storm. The storm had been one of the biggest that had hit the island since the olden days. It was lucky for the island folk's, that the storm had not hit them so badly.

Instead, when people looked out at the sea, they could see small funnels of water tornadoes. There were also lighting storm that lit up the water. Some say they could see sea creatures that swam in the ocean when the lighting hit.

Myrrna's mother had told her that it could have been the goddess showing off her power. That she will protect them from any dangerous force. Like she had for thousands of years.

She believed her mothers words.

Myrnna walked along the shore until she came by an odd object. She slowly bent down and began to push the sand off it. It began to reveal a beautiful wooden box. She picked up and looked at it. She tried to open it but for some reason, it would not. The young princess decided to give up and ask the others later.
