The battle cry of her tribe could be heard resounding all over the forest. She's perched on a tall tree looking on as both tribes charge at one another. From her vantage point it looks like a bunch of ants balling up; almost feels like they can all be crushed beneath her feet.

"Fire!" Screamed the commander from somewhere in the distance. Pulling her arm back she aimed at someone in a tower. letting her arrow go she watched as it striked a woman on the shoulder. Just like that everyone hidden in the trees started shooting at their opponent, hitting some and missing others.

After a few more quick shots she began to climbing down. She never did like hiding in the trees, for some reason it made her feel like a cowered. If she's going to fight she rather do it head on with her sword or a spear where she can be seen, not atop a tree. Swinging her bow behind her back, all the while pulling out her sword, she ran towards the action.

All around you can see torn bloody bodies scattered about the ground. Swinging her sword up It clashes against another. She pushes with all her might managing to make her opponent stumble back. Before he could gain momentum she swung again slicing through his neck. Blood spattered out catching her in the face. How she wished she could say that her tribe was winning and the bodies on the ground were that of her enemies but they weren't, they were loosing yet again. More bodies of the barbarians, brothers and sisters alike, were decorating the ground. Swiftly turning around she caught another sword from tearing her apart and with her right leg pushed back then sliced left cutting the female warriors chest open. To cover more ground the barbarian woman began running forward Trying to get through into her enemies camp and as she went she helped some of her comrades. Hitting one guy in the back of the head with the hilt of her sword and slicing a leg off another when she leaned down avoiding a hit. The woman was finally getting close to the camp entrance when a huge man managed to get a hold of her, he grabbed her by the neck, raising her from the ground as he strangled her to death. She was sure this was the end as someone from a tower shot an arrow that passed right by her, so close that it nicked her ear. She let her sword drop and gasped for breath clawing at the beasts face, digging her thumps into both his eyes. Growling like an enraged ogre he dropped the woman and covered his face. She tried swinging her arms back to break some of her fall but still landed on her ass rather hard. While watching the beast hold his face the warrior patted the ground besides her looking for her sword.

"Fall back!" Screamed the barbarians commander once again. Without further prompting her tribe began running back. The woman was still searching for her sword so she could run the hell out of there when suddenly someone stepped on her right hand. Taken by surprise she let out a small yelp and looked up. Looking down at me with smoldering black eyes was a young man. He had short brown hair and a smattering of light facial hair. His mouth was formed into a serious thin line accentuating his powerful jaw and chiseled features. Without a doubt he was an extremely gorgeous guy. Just like all warriors he was rocking a hard toned body.

Finally! She thought as fingers came in contact with the hilt of her sword and without further delay she clamped on it and swung it towards him expecting it to cut his side giving her time to at least run away. Unfortunately, without even blinking he moved his right arm up catching the sword with his. Stupid me didn't even register he was holding a dam sword. With his left hand he reacted, pulled out a knife from its sheath on his left hip, and sliced her cheek. She cried out as blood trickled down her face. She couldn't help but look up at him with anger burning in her eyes. The big ogre beast then chose that moment to come up to the woman and squeez her hand which still held the sword, making her drop it.

"Let me end her" he told the other guy who cut the barbarians cheek. All he did was nod once while he stared at the woman. The ogre picked up her sword and raised it high ready to strike. Instead of cowering with fright the woman, with steel in her eyes, looked at her enemy as she awaited the final blow the would bring her death.
"Stop" an authoritative female voice spoke. She quickly moved her eyes away from the ogre like man to find the two brutes to the right of him both turned around looking at someone. Directing her eyes to where they were looking she saw a stunningly beautiful woman walking towards her. She carried herself with an aura of confident no nonsense power. As her cold gray eyes settled upon the woman on the floor she spoke up again. "We won't kill her, not yet anyways". Finally reaching the woman she pulled out a dagger swinging down with full force to hit the barbarians temple. Shit was her final thought before everything went black.
