Author's Notes: OK. I have been working up the courage to do this for a
while. I have to thank a friend of mine for telling me about FanFic.com
and for helping me post this. It was hard to get this posted because my
computer does not like me (it doesn't help that I'm computer illiterate).
This is my first fan fic so y'all are gonna hafta deal with me here.
Please r/r. I appreciate any kind of review EXCEPT flames; constructive
criticism is welcome (constructive is the key word). The prologue was
kinda an after thought (yeah, I know, I'm pathetic). I also know I'm
rambling, so I'll shut up. Enjoy.

Prologue Azure was an ordinary noble girl until a day when she was eight when both of her parents were killed by noble-hating outlaws. She was saved only because her mother made her flee to the village healer. The kind old woman sent her to the palace to request a position as a lady-in-waiting to the princess Abigail. From that day forward, she remained at the princess's side.
They grew to young womanhood together and learned everything the other learned. When the princess learned swordplay, Azure was her partner. As they both grew in skill, Abigail learned the skill of diplomacy, for she was the only heir to the throne.
When her father died, Abigail inherited the throne. She reigned in peace for a time, but soon simple border raids, made by the Amazons of neighboring Themiscara (or so they thought), grew into full fledged war. Abigail led her troops well, but the Amazons overwhelmed her troops and forced them back to the Capital. They lay in siege around the city for many months before something immediate had to be done.
At last Azure confronted Abigail with the proposition of challenging the Amazon Champion to single combat to decide the matter. At first, Abigail refused but, as supplies dwindled, she realized that she must agree to Azure's idea. This is the tale of two nations and the few who can save them.
