King Zura had ruled his kingdom of Crowdaz for over forty years and in that time his army had defended against every would be invader and by making trade agreements with his neighbours he ensured his people had a secure future. His only failure had been in his marriage. He loved his wife Nadiya passionately but she had only managed to produce one child as an heir; their daughter Yvaine.
Yvaine hated being a girl because girls had no fun. But behind her parent’s backs she encouraged the imperial guard to teach how to use a sword, a shield, how to throw a spear and the art of face to face combat.
The King and Queen eventually discovered their daughter’s secret and at the age of twelve sent her to the Temple of Ghanala to be raised by the virgin priestesses in the art of femininity but she hated it and escaped many times.
One young soldier Alaric was assigned the task of ensuring young Yvaine remained in the temple and thwarted every escape. On Yvaine’s fourteenth birthday she had planned to escape and spend time with her friends. Alaric discovered the plot and was about to report to his superior when Yvaine stopped him. “I’m sick of you spying on me. Do you get a thrill out of the possibility of seeing me naked? Or do you think I’ll let you bed me as a bribe?”
Before Alaric could answer Yvaine took a knife and with her left hand cut the little finger on her right. “In one hour I shall scream and place this blood between my legs and tell the guard you tried to force yourself on me. I suggest you make your escape while you can. If you remain here a slow death awaits you.”
Yvaine would never of carried out the threat but Alaric wasn’t to know that. He disappeared and within six months his name was forgotten. Meanwhile Yvaine’s parents accepted defeat and allowed their daughter to train with the army praying she would one day grow out of this phase. It never happened and as the years passed she learned how to ride as warrior, shoot as an archer and was as competent in the art of battles as was the hardest member of the imperial guard.
Two months after Yvaine’s eighteenth birthday Nadiya died and just three months later Zura followed his wife to the afterlife. Following the required period of mourning Yvaine was crowned Queen and she set about ensuring everything would continue for the benefit of her people. After her coronation she called her army together. “We have enjoyed many years of peace and I want them to continue. No one wants war but only a fool does not prepare for the worst.” Looking round she said “I will serve my people as their warrior queen and train and ride with the army. Hopefully we will never be called to fight for survival.” She had no idea her past was about to come back to haunt her.
