Quinn stood in her mother's hut. Arms crossed and with a stern and serious look on her face. Her mother sat at a stool sharpening a blade. Quinn pulled her hand through her tousled shaggy blonde hair and stomped her foot.
"Mother! This has to be the stupidest idea I have ever heard, why are we letting the princess stay here when there is a price on her head and the whole rebel force is out to get her. What if they find out she is here, do you really think we could defend ourselves against such a force?"
Judy Fabray stood up and walked to her daughter grabbing her wrist firmly.
"Quinn these people have allowed us to survive her for generations. Before the Berry family our kind was slaves to the Akron's. The princess is the only heir, without her the dynasty may fall and we will be driven out of our homes and they will destroy us! We must protect the princess because she is our future."
Quinn pulled her arm back from her mother, sick of the lecture she started making her way out of the hut. Before she reached the opening she turned back to her mother, the head of the tribe.
"She won't last a second here she will expect everything and I will give her nothing, not while she remains here endangering the lives of all our people"
"Quinn, I cannot believe the selfishness I am hearing from you. Don't you understand, if she doesn't survive we are all dead anyway."
Quinn hung her head in frustration, on some level she knew her mother was right but she worried for the people she loved.
Her mother spoke, more gently this time, "She will come and you will help her get along, no-one will know she is here and she will be gone before we know it. We must do this Quinn, Hiram is a good leader and he will take care of us"
"Fine mother, but I still think this is a stupid idea"
With that the blonde girl left the hut, giving her mother no more opportunity to speak.
As she walked away from her mother's hut still angry at the impending arrival of the princess Quinn was approached by her two best friends, closest confidants and two of her most trusted and capable fellow warriors, Britney and Santana.
Santana could see her friend was distressed, "So she's really coming huh?"
"Yup" Quinn replied bluntly
Britney bounced around in excitement "I can't wait to meet the princess; I hope she lets me touch her wand!"
"Britney, that's a fairy she's not magical" Quinn replied but stopped when she saw the evil glare she was receiving from Santana.
"Brit's Quinns right but that's ok because you and me make all the magic we need" Santana said this while pulling Britney into a kiss.
As the two lovers continued to make out Quinn just rolled her eyes at the all too familiar sight and walked off to begin getting ready for Warrios training. All the young women in the tribe were Warrios. Fiercely trained warriors charged with the responsibility of protecting the forest land. Quinn was the tribe's best fighter and was in charge keeping to Warrios in line for their commander Sue Sylvester, a harsh but fair leader of the Warrios. She ran a tight ship but because of this the Warrios had managed to keep the forest safe from predators and rebels.
For now most of the Warrios were based in the forest center, so trainings were frequent and intense to ensure the women stayed on their game. Quinn new she had to get all the women to training base quickly or Sue would make them run through formations all night.
