Chapter 2

"My name is Arizona Robbins, Princess, warlord and conqueror of the five lands of the sea, earth and fire. I am honored that you would invite me to your festival as well as I look forward to negotiations."

Callie nodded mesmerized by the dancing blue eyes and the dimples. She groaned inwardly as she pulled her horse up next to Arizona's and whistled, her two warriors dropping out of the trees and mounting their horses.

"This is Addison Montgomery, chief huntress of our tribe and Cristina Yang chief healer as well as a cunning hunter herself."

Arizona smiled and motioned to her left as Callie was riding on her right.

"This is Teddy Altman, my chief of security and right hand, Erica Han my chief of staff, Izzie stevens, , Alex karev and mark sloan are my head generals, as well as Owen hunt head of battle strategy."

As she spoke Callie politely shook the hand of every person she was introduced to and as the introductions came to a close Callie quickly gave orders.

"Cris, take the men to their camping spot, Addie take head flank please."

Arizona out of the corner of her eye watched the fiery women, watched as she lifted her mask and felt the breath leave her lungs. Gods this amazon was beautiful.

" Teddy take head flank with Addie and Izzie and Erica take back flank."

"Yes, your majesty."

Callie smiled that left her alone with the beautiful dimpled blond Persian princess. Persian princess Calliope, shes a Persian warlord, remember that.

"So Callie, does your name stand for Calliope?"

Callie nodded clearly impressed.

"Yes maam."

"I like it, it's a very beautiful name, for a very beautiful woman."

Callie smiled and raised an eyebrow.

"Thank you, though I am afraid your highness I don't hold a candle to you."

Arizona almost bit her tongue off. Oh my God, had she just said that? I mean the amazon was beautiful, but had she just admitted that. She was a warlord, a harsh mean warlord and se has just told a women she was beautiful. Inwardly she groaned, then quickly changed the subject.

"So how are you fitting in on this whole thing?"

"I'm your assigned bodyguard from the amazon nation."

Arizona smiled her dimples deepening in her cheeks.

"well Calliope I look forward to spending some time with you."

Callie almost corrected her but decided that she like hearing her full name from the blondes lips. It was odd she felt almost an instant connection with this woman, and that scared her. Inwardly she chastised herself, she was a bodyguard nothing else, plus she was sure Arizona preferred men. Whatever they just met, this was ridiculous. I mean she had enough handsome generals to satisfy her. It was inappropriate, she was the princess of the Persian nation, warlord, conqueror, all of it. Sighing inwardly she realized she hadn't given her a response.

"As do I your highness."

They rode the rest of the way in silence, both secretly stealing glances at one another. When they reached the village Arizona felt her breathe taken away, it was nestled into the back of a canyon, a large palace adorning the hill and supported by smaller huts, there was a large training ground and weapons facility, Arizona listened as Calliope explained the various buildings in the city. Arizona felt her eyebrows shoot up when she saw the temple of Artemis.

"You worship Artemis?"

"Yes, she is our protector."

"The goddess of the moon, the hunt and of beauty, I appreciate that."

"She is deeply complicated, and whom do you worship your highness?"

"Call me Arizona as we will be spending much time together, and I am the chosen of Athena."

Callie looked up in surprise and Arizona laughed.

"Surely you did not think I worshipped Ares?"

"He is a god of war, you are a warlord." At the horrified expression on Arizona's face Callie almost renigged her statement, then she saw the blue eues turn from ice into warmth.

"No calliope I do not worship Ares and I am a warlord only when necessary. War is always the last resort."
Callie nodded and sighed, gods this was going to be a long week. As they reached the palace, Eiraina and a small contingent of guards, and the counsel stood outside the palace. Eiraina stepped forward.

"My name is Eirana Valtamos, I am the queen of the amazon nation, conqueror of all tribes, and elf of the sea."

Callie watched as the mask slipped into place and Arizona dismounted to show respect. She was surprised when Arizona began speaking in the language of her queen as was Eiraina. A smile alighte her features as she reverted back to English.

"It is an honor Arizona Robbins to meet you as well as to hear my own language again. Please do us the honor of joining our festival and being apart of our nation for a night. Partake in our traditions, enjoy our food, our hospitality. "

Arizona smiled.

"Oh I plan to."

"Come I will show you your room in the palace."

Arizona hesitated then spoke softly.

"Actually your majesty if you wouldn't mind I would like a hut, I sleep in a palace all the time."

Eiraina's eyes registered shock.

"I'm afraid only our warriors have huts my lady. The palace is much more comofortable."

Callie hearing the whole exchange spoke before thinking.

"Since I am Arizona's bodyguard I would be more than happy to share my hut."

Eiraina studied her regent carefully.

"If Arizona agrees I have no objections."

Arizona smiled inwardly.

"It would be an honor and easier for both of us I think. Though I expect no threats from your people, it would be easier"

Eiraina nodded her consent.

"Put the others in the palace then, Callie I am assuming that you will set her highness up."

"Yes my queen."

Teddy pulled her aside.

"Zona that may not be a good idea, we know nothing of this Callliope, while I doubt her intentions are to kill you, that's extremely unsafe, at least let me bunk with you."

"Teddy, I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself, and besides this is a show of good faith. We want this alliance. These are the most powerful women on this side of the world. It's a show of good faith. I can handle myself."

Teddy growled softly.

"Yes your majesty."

Callie noticing the discomfort of the young woman stepped forward.

"As chief of security I understand your concerns. Look if it would make you feel any better Addies hut is right next door and you can stay with her, that way you are close by."

Teddy studied the regent, so far she liked her and was gaining respect for her.

"that would make me feel much better."

Addie gaped but then bit her tongue when she saw the look Callie gave her.

Grabbing her horses riens, as well as callie's horse she turned to Teddy.

"Well come on COS lets go we gotta take care of the horses first then you're bunking with me. Hope you don't mind getting cozy cause I only got one bed. "

"Oh sure let us be the stable hands." Teddy deadpanned and Addison laughed. Callie reached down and picked up Arizona's things.

"Your highness if you'll follow me I will show you my hut."

"Call me Arizona Calliope."

Eiraina raised an eyebrow as she watched the two interact. Callie never let anyone call her by her real name, and the fact that she allowed Arizona surprised her. She smiled as she watched them walk away. This was going to prove to be an interesting week.
