THE WOMAN WARRIOR

by Newfie Child

(ALL CH. REVISED) She was the only one with that kind of power....she was the only one able to capture his heart and save him from the dark...she is the prophecised one

1. Not a man?

Queen Yelan sat eating lunch with many delegates from the surrounding countries, her son and four daughters also present.

"So Yelan, we must unite our countries if we are to fight this new evil. None of our countries alone can stop this. We must fight together!"

Yelan looked at the King of Diaten as he rose angrily to his feet. "Orion, right now even an alliance of all the countries would prove futile. Our warriors are nothing compared to what Mithandar has. He has different breeds of dark warriors that counter everything we can throw against them. None of our warriors are strong enough. We need to find someone that can fight them, and beat them. Not even my son can, not without the proper training, and there is no one to do that."

Yelan lowered her head in thought as the rest of the delegates eyes focused on her son of 20. He indeed was powerful, more powerful than any they had met. Yelan stood up suddenly though when she felt a new presence.

"Someone is here, they are powerful, we must hurry they are trying to run."

With that she ran out of the room and out the front doors of her castle and over to where many of her soldiers were trying to stop someone from escaping. Suddenly though, in a blast of power, her 6 soldiers fell to the ground. In the center of the ring they formed stood a cloaked figure with his back turned to them. His long auburn colored hair tied back in a leather thong.

"Stop"

From behind her, the other delegates came running and the more courageous shot beams to try and capture the cloaked figure. When that proved futile, and the cloaked figure began to run, King Orion used one of his more powerful spells. A large beam of ice blue power shot from his hands and surrounded the figure.

A yell of pain issued from his throat before falling to his knees. He continued to kneel even as the power beam surrounding him strengthened. Bowing his head he seemed to relax before suddenly his arms came away from his body and the beam shattered.

He began to run, but fell to the ground in pain when a deep green beam surrounded his body. Taking the chance Yelan ran towards the cloaked figure, and using her magic forced him to stand and face them.

His head bowed, they couldn't tell what the cloaked figure looked like. But he began to fight of the spell and once again dropped to his knees before raising his head to growl up at them in annoyance. Yelan was shocked, and she could tell from the gasps coming from behind her, that the other delegates were just as shocked. There in front of them knelt not a man, but a young woman. Her startling emerald eyes focused on Yelan before closing and she collapsed to the ground.
