Zaira: Another Princess Warrior's Story

My name is Zaira. I am a Princess Warrior. I do battles with the Roman soldiers and I am fighting to protect Ireland's freedom as well as freedom for women. I grew up in a poor Irish family. We barely had enough to eat and my father was a good man but he worked for a rich farmer and the farmer wasn't very nice to us. Father put up with the farmer's hateful ways because he did make some money to keep his family together. Mother ran off years ago and left father and my sister Kyli. We didn't need mother. We managed. Kyli fell in love with a pirate and sailed with him to sail the seven seas. I miss her. I hope to see her again someday. Father died after years of slavery to the rich, mean Irish farmer. I joined up with some Celtic women who were fighting for the cause. I had to make my way somehow. The farmer tried to seduce me after my father's death and promised to buy me anything my heart desired. He was a pig of a man and I hated him. I left for an adventure.

I fought battles with the Roman soldiers and I came close to getting raped but Fidorian looks after me. He is my closet friend and my lover. I love him. My female friends Fallon and Caitlin fight for the cause, too. I was named Warrior Princess because I fight the hardest and Romans seem afraid of me. Imagine that. A blonde petite woman that is five feet. I am mighty and brave. I ended up murdering the rich farmer that was so mean to father.The rich farmer had slapped Kyli years ago and I felt I had to avenge father and Kyli. The mean rich farmer was killed in battle. He joined the Roman soldiers. He turned against the Irish, his own people. He came at me with a knife and I ran him through with my sword. Victory was mine! I felt at peace. I just wish I could find Kyli. I miss her and need her.

Fidorian was stabbed in battle and things didn't look good for him. He was badly injured. His fever was so high. I gathered flowers and wine and made a potion that saved Fidorian. I can't live without him. He is my rock. Fidorian made a speedy recovery. He is still resting. We have fought more battles and my leg was injured but I used the potion that I gave Fidorian and my leg healed.

Fidorian has asked me to marry him. He wants us to quit fighting wars and make a home in England. I don't want to leave Ireland but it looks like the Romans are taking over. Celtic religion and Celtic ways may be no longer. I feel like Fidorian and I should quit fighting the war. I am afraid I will end up in a dungeon somewhere. I agreed to marry Fidorian. We knew a man who found us a ship headed for England. As luck happened, it was a pirate ship and my sister Kyli was on board! We were so happy to see each other. She was married to a pirate but his family was rich and she claims their piracy was now legal. Fidorian and I have a fancy house on Kyli and her husband Captain Mudana's estate. Fidorian helps run the tea exporting business and I am a respected lady of society. I have my sister, my husband and two daughters and I am happy now. My leg has arthritis from my injury but I am able to over come it. I am sure father would be proud even though I was a Princess Warrior and Kyli is and was a pirate. Life is good. Ireland has been taken over by the Romans but someday the Roman Empire will fall. {WE ALL KNOW THAT HAPPENED!}
