In case you don't know me, let me introduce myself, I am Amytis and I am immortal.

I heal fast. I can't die. I am a warrior, just like my sister. I have a team and we are all warriors, we fight for what we believe that is right.

We have been to so many places. Andy and I have lost track of our ages, we used to fight in the battlefields of wars and saved people. In the first place, it was just me and Andy; then, I met my lover, Jace, we soon became a family. After that, we met Nicky and Joe and the last was Booker.

But being a part of the modern world, we have to choose our job wisely. There are too many eyes and our secret can be exposed easily. And the last thing I wanna be is the rats in the laboratory.

Let's talk more about Andy, my dear sister, and Jace, my husband.

Andy and I were closed, very closed. I spent all my childhood following behind Andy, I learnt how to fight, how to hunt and how to kill from my sister. She taught me everything and I look up to her. However, we soon realize that we were different from the others - we heal fast, all the wounds, all the broken ribs or bones can be heal with in minutes. Eventually, our family and our friends, they all passed away but me and Andy just stop aging.

At that time, long before Jesus was born, people worshiped Andy and me like we were Gods.

I met Jace during the Peloponnesian War. We went there with a reason, because we had been dreaming about the same man who was fighting in the battlefield, he died and then being bought back to life. This dream led us to another immortal, another family. Jace was a Spartan and he was fighting for his city-state, during the war, his wounds were healing fast and he soon found out that even the fatal wound couldn't hurt him. That's the time we found him, talked to him and we fought together for the Sparta.

After that war, we left Sparta together and traveled to different places, fight in different battles. We fought side by side and I fell in love with Jace. We get married and we moved to the Western Europe.

After 1500 years, we fought, we traveled, until we started to dream of Nicky and Joe during the Crusades. One of them was an Italian Crusader and one of them was a Muslim warrior. The next one was Booker, during the 19th century, who fought under the Napoleon.

This is it, this is my team. But now, we are facing a greater threat than ever.
