Nystala, Irish Celtic Queen

I will be writing as Nystala, a fictional Celtic Queen. I am really interested in Celtic times.

My name is Nystala. I am a Celtic Irish Queen of the border Moon Stone River of Ireland. I was married at a young age to Avery, a peasant man. He needed my protection because he is a coward but I loved him. I made a warrior out of him as I led my troops into battle after battle. We won every battle. As a Celtic Queen, I have special powers. I can turn myself into a unicorn and a dragon. When my troops got in a tight spot, I would turn into a dragon and burn the enemy troops until they retreated. I didn't like to do this but I had to protect my troops against the Romans. You ask: Did I lose some men? Yes. I was able to save some from their injuries and dying but not all.

I have three children: Shannon, Isabella and Nigel. I taught Nigel how to fight battles and my daughters as well. Nigel was killed in one of the battles. I was unable to save him. A higher power then me took him away from me. I was devasted as was Avery. Avery refused to fight battles after we lost Nigel. He turned to another woman Melanie and I no longer loved Avery so I granted him his freedom to be with another. Shannon and Isabella stayed home and tended to sheep and goats. We never lived in a castle but we have a fancy cottage. I never spent much time there. I was always fighting battles. I firmly believe in the Celtic Religion and traditions. My daughters won't be carrying on my legacy. I am the Celtic Irish Queen. The Romans are trying to take over and I may be destroyed when that happens.

My powers have failed me. I can no longer turn into a dragon or a unicorn. The Gods and Goddesses have deserted me. The Romans have taken over and I barely got away with my life. I am back at my cottage with my daughters and hiding from the Romans. I guess I am done with battles. I have pains in my legs from old battle scars. I found a new love. His name is Shamus and he is one of the soldiers who has stuck by me in all the battles. We got married and now have a son named Daniel. I am forty years of age and my Daniel will never fight in battles. He looks a lot like Nigel. Our home is in the country by a river and the Romans will never find us. I am living a new life with my baby son and Shamus. Shannon and Isabella have married and moved to England. They will be safe there. Nystala, the Celtic Queen is no longer a Queen but I still follow Celtic traditions and Shamus and I will bring up Daniel the same way. I am learning to appreciate the quiet of the Irish countryside. This is where I will live and die.
