Unbeknownst to what is currently going on to their Eastern coast, the Amazons can be seen sitting in their very replete home. Beautifully ornate domes sitting atop what seems to be designs from ancient Roman stock. Propped in a hidden valley their morning rally cries can be heard aloft in the air. In the town square buzzing with life, their daily strife is one of peace but the ease with which they live hasn't been given for free. Many an army has tried in the distant past to cast them out but no amount of unassailable rout, nor how devout its men has been able to successfully upend our ladies. Maybe one day very far away a brigade with an array of improbable weapons could dare to step within their square. But the sheer hubris one would need to insist an impede on the ones graced by the God's embrace well... their courage might soon be erased as they are placed in Amazon hands capable of disbanding legions tearing men apart like demons.

The seasons have now turned to what we all call fall but, bear in mind the Amazon rainforest is of a much different kind. Confined all on its own it shows no signs of its leaves retreating for the winter. For within her might you will perpetually see new blossoms form every night. A sight Mage May waits for as she scores them before daybreak so she can make potions for her healing lotions.

A commotion is heard as she turns a corner. With nothing to warn her an arrow just misses her head. Aghast as she was almost fated for dead she immediately tred on all fours very close to the forest floor hoping no more arrows are in store. Before she gives her hunter a second chance she dashes away but, to her utter dismay runs into her attacker. Ready with dagger in hand she looks up and then withstands the biggest lick a saber cat could fit on her cheek. Its unique barbs immediately let her know it was Rip bestowing her a kiss. Premiss it was Lyn she had run into she skewed her head back to see Lyn removing a sack from her head.

May: "My Gods!" "Were you shooting blind?"

Lyn: "I was using the third eye within my mind." "Blind no, though my eyes were covered I intentionally smothered them from use to be able to deduce how well my intuition can tell a moving target.

May: "Ha!" "Our chosen one incarnate."

Lyn: "My target was the tree." "You would have never seen it coming if it was my intent to take your life." "Though sorry for the unwanted strife."

May: "Just like your mother." "Always developing another skill." "It still reminds me of how she would go out on her own always favoring the console of nature." "No stranger to danger she would hang upside down and with her compound bow show archery skills unmatched by any one of us." "Enough was never enough for Ivy."

Lyn: "Mother did drive me to always push the limit." "Never a quiet moment to sit as a child." "Mild tempered she may have been but she considered it a sin when I was lazy and would figure out ways she could always push my skill."

May: "Still your mother loved you more than life itself." "She shelfed away any outward display of love to shove you into the throne far faster than any Amazon had ever known." "She alone knew your destiny before me finding Hulda's ancient scrolls that foretold of your destiny to unfold."

Lyn: "I'm sold on that mother immediately attacked my instructors when they uttered an unkind word though at times I deserved it."

May "I observed that many times Ivy's incline to be critical." "That's why I never delved into political insights while she was alive." "I deprived her of information she should have known and now it weighs heavily on my soul."

Lyn: "You are paroled of responsibility Ivy is gone."

May: "Still I long to get it off my chest may I press?"

Lyn: "Yes"

May: "Lest, I'd have to rewind back to a time before you were born." "I was sworn in as the Senate Arbitress and the list of votes denoting acceptance of human evoke into our lands came to stand in front of me." "It showed they favored human coexist three to two but I intentionally skewed the vote to show that we were against it because I sensed that we weren't ready." "Amazon hearts were still too petty." "Always ready to start a fight over the slightest insult would result in humans being slaughtered in our midst if we tried to exist with them." "I felt it was better than to let the minority have their way rather than to play with human lives." "Let us survive behind the wall until Amazon kind is ready."

Lyn: "The unsteady minds of the more violent of our kind should be considered." "Granted, there are embittered ones who shun peace." "But to surcease a vote that would evoke the crown to strike down the perpetrator." "I know the greater good was considered but still littered in our midst are dissidents that exist that would love to shove this in my face."

May: "There is something else I must place in your purview." "You deserve to know I have Cancer." "With no answer for a...
