Nyssa Asi was only fithteen years of age when she was sent away to fight for the Roman army. A great debt she was forced to pay off from her fathers past.
"They await you on the hill, you must go."
Never in Nyssa s life had her father ever shown any sort of love or affection towards her. She was just seen as a young warrior, that was denied love because it was thought of as weakness.
"I see no sadness in your eyes father, you will not miss me?"
"Life is pain Nyssa, remember that! NOW RIDE GIRL, THEY AWAIT YOU! I would not advise
angering a Roman soldier! Death is the only penalty!"
With that, Diego Asi, the cruelest man Nyssa had ever known slapped the end of the black stallion Nyssa was atop of, and let it charge in the direction of the future knights.
Diego Asi Fought with his fellow Sarmatian warriors. They fought bravely and died quickly. Alas, the Romans decided to spare their lives, in return for their future children. They were to fight for Rome, for causes not of their own. However, Elizabeta Asi only beared one child for Diego. A girl. Elizabeta died shortly after the birth, leaving Diego with no child to send off to fight. He could not bear the thought of taking another wife. She was the only one for him. Diego only had one choice, Nyssa had to go.
Was he sending her to her death and destruction? Or was he allowing her to see the world for what it really was? A place of hate and and violence. Only time would tell.
