She was like April sky
Sunrise in her eyes
It was a morning like all the others. Viviana was collecting berries in the forest while her sister and some of the other girls were out hunting. She had gotten up early, before the sun had risen, and was still quite sleepy even though she had done it a thousand times. At first sight Viviana looked like all the other amazons, she was beautiful and knew her way in the forest. However that was hardly the truth. Ever since she was little she was pretty much useless at things like fighting or hunting. She had accepted it and had devoted her life to becoming a healer, she had never liked violence anyway.
Child of light, shining star
Fire in her heart
Viviana liked her life even though her sister had called it pathetic. Katarina had said that she'd rather be dead than be a healer. She had never been much better than Viviana herself but she had kept training and now she was a hunter. However, she had zero ability at making friends, something that for Viviana was natural like breathing. Everyone in the village adored her and she liked her life a lot but if she had to be honest deep inside her she wished for something to happen. She wanted to see the world but was too afraid to take the first step. She was afraid of many things but not many of them stopped her from making important decisions like this one.
Bright as day
Melting snow
Breaking through the chill
Viviana sat by the river with a basket full of berries. She took off her boots and dipped her feet into the water, it was warm and really calming. She loved it when the forest was like that, when it was too early and there were no conflicts. There was some time till she had to go back to the village so she just sat there humming and splashing water with her feet. Yes, it was a morning like all the others. Or so she thought. Suddenly she heard something from the nearby bushes. So she wasn't alone after all. Viviana picked up her basked and pulled out her white flag. Maybe if she surrendered they wouldn't hurt her? It was worth a try.
October & April
She moved closer to the bushes oh so slowly. She took a deep breath and moved some of the branches away. What she saw though was not something she had expected, on the ground was laying a wounded warrior.
She was like frozen sky
In October night
It was a woman. She had really short blond hair, probably cut like that so it wouldn't get in the way. She was wearing red pants and shirt and of course an armor. Viviana dropped the basket and kneeled next to her.
''Are you okay? Can you hear me?''
The woman opened her eyes and Viviana saw such a beautiful blue colour, one she had never seen before. However, this only lasted a moment and then her eyes were closed again. This pulled the amazon out of her trance. She checked het pulse and breathing, they were both stable so it was nothing serious. Her wounds still needed treating though and she knew she couldn't leave her here.
Darkest cloud endless storm
Raining from her heart
Viviana picked up the unknown woman, the basket with berries long forgotten. It was a bit hard for her because she was heavy but the amazon slowly started walking back to the village. She was thinking about the woman. Who was she? Where had she come from? How had she gotten herself in this situation? For some reason she wanted to know more about her. It was strange.
October & April
Her curly brown locks fell around her face as Katarina kneeled on the ground to take a closer look at the footprints. Upon examining them she blinked a few times.
''Centaurs.'' She stated.
''How many of them?'' One of her companions, Andrea, asked.
''Only one. This is very strange.''
''They aren't supposed to come here. This is amazon territory.'' The third woman, Maria, said.
''Fucking bastards.'' Katarina muttered as she got up.
''We have to be careful. We don't know if they are enemy.'' Maria pulled out her sword from the scabbard and looked around.
Andrea nodded her head and Katarina glared at nowhere and nobody in particular. Suddenly the three of them heard hoofbeat but before they could react a centaur with brown fur jumped in front of them. He had long brown hair tied in a ponytail.
''Daniel.'' Katarina hissed.
''Long time no see girls.'' He greeted with a smile.
''What are you doing here?'' Maria decided to go straight to the point.
''I'm on a mission.''
''A mission? Don't fuck with me! You know these are amazon lands and you're not supposed to be here so just get your shit together and leave.''
''That was quite rude, Katarina.''
''Like I fucking care.''
''And you should.''
''Give me one reason why.''
''Well I don't know. At least I think you shouldn't act like that towards the one who will kidnap you.''
''What?!''
It all happened really fast. Daniel rushed to the girls, picked up Katarina and put her one his back. She didn't realize when he managed to tie her hands. And then just like he had appeared, he disappeared.
As Viviana walked into the village everyone were giving her questioning looks. However, she knew that the Queen would be okay with her taking the woman there. Actually she would probably even praise her and tell her that she'd done a good job. She always did that and the two of them got along quite well. They were just similar in personality.
Viviana reached the centre where was the queen's throne. It was occupied by a tall woman with long brown hair. Her face was hidden by a special wooden mask used only by the queen.
But before she managed to speak occurred some kind of commotion. Two amazons rushed to the queen and stopped for a second to take a breath. One of them was Andrea, a cheerful young woman with shoulder-length blond hair. The other was Maria whose hair was long and brown and was tied in a neat ponytail. They had been running and looked quite tired. Instantly Viviana knew something bad had happened.
''My queen, there were centaurs in our lands. It was Daniel, the right hand of their ruler.'' Maria explained.
''Did he attack you? You don't seem to be wounded.'' The queen questioned.
''No, my queen. We're both fine. But they took Katarina.'' Andrea brought the terrible news.
It was like the world had just frozen. The queen slowly pulled up her mask and revealed two extremely worried green eyes.
''They have taken, Rina?''
Hello there everyone. I hope you liked it. If someone in the fandom is a fan of Xena Warrior Princess, it's basically nyotalia in that universe. If not, it's pretty much about amazons and warriors with a lot of fighting and lesbian subtext. The story will be mainly about gerita but there'll be many other couples.
Viviana – Nyo!Italy Veneziano
Katarina – Nyo!Italy Romano
Andrea – Nyo!Romania
Maria – Nyo!Bulgaria
Daniel – Nyo!Hungary
