Cierria: Celtic Warrior

My name is Cierria. I am a Celtic Warrior. I live in Ireland. I am the King's best soldier. The King has told me this himself. I am also hopelessly in love with Prince Jason, the King's son. He is a handsome man with black hair and he is loyal, brave and fights as good as any knight or warrior. He is always happy to see me. He kisses me on the cheek when ever he sees me and we have even danced at three of the King's Balls. One was held in my honor. I lead men into battle and fight a lot of battles. Prince Jason and I are very close but I fear he loves another. Countess Ariana. She is a lady of culture and she is beautiful but she is lazy. She is also a snob and she and we hate each other. She resents me because I am a Celtic Woman Warrior and I am Irish. I have red hair and she has black hair. She is English. I have met some nice English people but she isn't one of them. How do I know that the Prince loves this Countess? He is always with her and he kisses her all the time. He has never kissed me or embraced me like he does her. This really hurts me. I wish I could take my sword and run the Countess through but that would be murder and I don't think the King would forgive me. Prince Jason. I would never have him if I did that. I keep hoping that he will want me someday before it is too late. I have to wait patiently.

I am best friends with a Highlander named Shayne McDermott. He is handsome with long brown hair and my best Warrior. I would be lost without him. He loves me as a woman and he would marry me tomorrow. He knows I don't love him. I do love him as a brother and my best friend but my heart belongs to the Prince. Shayne knows this but he hasn't given up hope on me. I wish he would find someone else but he won't hear of it. What a sad life he and I lead. He loves me and I love another. I don't want to hurt him. He is a good, honorable perfect man. I should love him and want him but I don't. Maybe someday my dreams will come true. I will have Prince Jason and Shayne will find a lover in time. I pray for this day.

Shayne and I have been with my men fighting battles for two days. I lost quite a few men. The worst thing in the world happened. Shayne has been injured. I am so shocked. He has always been the most cautious man I know. A Roman soldier run a sword through his leg. I have burned out the infection and tended his wound. I can't lose Shayne. He loves me. I realize that I love him, too. I really do. I don't know why I thought I loved Prince Jason. I guess it's because my father and brothers never showed much love for me and they were cold blooded cowards and always drunk. Jason paid attention to me. I met him before I met Shayne. I have been by Shayne's bedside telling him how much I love him. I hope he knows I mean it. I have promised to marry him. He is burning with fever but he was able to make love to me. I gave my body so freely. This seals my love for him. I can't imagine that making love to Prince Jason would have been any better. Shayne has to live. I hope God gives me another chance to make it up to Shayne. I found out what real love is. I was a virgin until tonight. I will continue to nurse Shayne and do everything in my power to make him better. I have called on the Celtic Goddess Brigid for help. She is the Goddess of healing. I want Shayne and I to be soul mates. Surely God won't punish me by taking my Shayne away. I really do love him so much. Prince Jason and his Countess Ariana have been to the camp trying to help Shayne. They both hugged me and I cried and later told Ariana that I really do love Shayne and will never flirt with Jason again. She hugged me and said she will pray for Shayne and hope that we can be friends. I want that, too. Jason will never know that I thought that I loved him. It is better this way.

Shayne is better. His fever broke and he is alright. He remembers making me love to me and he is so happy that I really have fallen in love with him. Prince Jason and Countess Ariana were married and we attended their wedding. Shayne held my hand and kissed my cheek. We stood up for Jason and Ariana. I have bonded with Ariana and we are like sisters. I can't wait to marry Shayne.

Shayne and I are married now. Celtic Goddess Brigid not only healed Shayne but I am with child. She is also the Mother of Fertility. Shayne is so happy. It happened our first time making love. I hope to be a Celtic Goddess someday but I am very happy with my Highlander husband and my baby on the way. We are living with the Prince and Princess at the King's castle. Shayne has been honored as a knight. Shayne and I are the happiest couple in the world and we look forward to raising our children in Ireland. The greenest, most beautiful country any where. Life is beautiful.
