Daesy

Chapter 1: Demands

Daesyana Vendega sat at her desk. She was trying to decide how to array her troops Since the recent death of her father, she has been the sole heir to the throne, to her country, Laesea. She was a mere 5'4 with green eyes, brown skin, curly hair, a stunning smile and a sword hand as good as any man. She was very agile on her feet and a general in the army before her ascension to the throne. Her younger brother Dajoa, was in her charge.

Laesea has been at war with Appolonia. The Ruler, DeMarcus Nyte, and his country had been at war for years. Now with the death of Carlos II things were getting worst.

"Your majesty, your sister, Adora is here to speak with you." a servant said. Daesy looked up a moment and said, "Let her in." Adora walked in wearing her armor. "Daesy. Here is a letter from the ammbassodors of Appolonia." she said handing it to Daesy. Daesy took it and kindly dismissed the servant. "Sit down Dori. I know your tired from battle." Daesy said as she broke the seal of the letter.

Adora took off her armor showing off her figure. She was 5'7, with violet almond eyes, blue black hair down to her waist. She was toned and tanned from warfare and a prowess with the bow and arrow and sword. Adora sat down and relaxed, helping herself to the wine on the table.

Daesy stood up and read the letter. She chuckled with contempt. "What does it say?" Adora asked.

To the Lady Daesyana of the country of Laesea,

Greetings. We are sorry for the lost of your father. He was a good man, warrior and ruler. He was an inspiration to many, by his acts of heroism. We know that you will be as wise as your father, Carlos II, was. It is time to act, to be allies. Submit yourself to the rule of DeMarcus, King of Appolonia and the annexed lands, and your country will receive high patronage, and tribute will be low. If you do not submit yourself, prepare for the battle of battles where we will not show any mercy, and your country may end as.....Arkadia of the east, flat and uninhabited.. We know your decision will be wise. We await your reply.
DeMarcus of Appolonia.

"He has some nerve making demands." Adora said with contempt. Daesy re-read the letter. "Scribe!" she said. A man came into the room with parasols and parchment. "Write:

To King DeMarcus of Appolonia,

Thank you for your concerns and kindness for our lost. With all due respect, we will not yield. We will not submit to your power. We will rule our lands in our own right. Though we wish for peace, we will fight. We know you will understand.

With Respect,
La Reina(The Queen), Daesyana.

Daesy read the letter. "Call Cruentus." she told the scribe. Soon he came back and she handed the letter to him. "Clean it up and make it diplomatic. Bring it back to me when you are done."

Chapter 2:Rejected

DeMarcus recieved the letter send by the new lady that had ascended the throne of Laesea. He was in the swamplands of Shikita 100 miles east of Applolnia, 1050 miles north of Laesea. He was a strong young man with a hard body. He wasn't a weak warrior. He was a man who would go into battle with his men. The first to run into danger. He was commonly called "The Fist of the North."

He opened the letter and read it. He expected the reply. He knew Carlos was stubborn. Why wouldn't his daughter be the same. In her control was much of the south. He wanted that power. Especialy Chylomba. Chylomba was rich in minerals that the cold of the north needed. The only thing that stand in the way is, Laesea.

"What is her reply?" Harry Nitzorz asked. Nitz, was DeMarcus's friend and general of the whole army. "She said She would not yield." DeMarcus said. "Should i prepare a march." Nitz asked. DeMarcus thought for awhile. "No. We will surprise her by not attacking then when she least expects it." Nitz asked, "When we capture Laesea, what will you do with the new sovereign?" DeMarcus though awhile. "When we get to that time i will know. " he said.

DeMarcus closed the letter and got on his horse. He and his army continued to travel east. As he rode he was deciding what to do with this new Queen on the throne. If he murdered her there would be more blood shed than necessary. If he locked her up it would be the same results. Finally he came to the conclusion of what he need to do when he captured Laesea and Daesyana.

Chapter 3:Infirmary

"You are truly your father's daughter," Agur said during his speech. "You defeated many and will surpass your father." Daesyana smiled graciously. They had just defeated completely their enemy, James, King of Shaiphela. He had been a thorn in Laesea side for years.

Everyone who was important or noble was at the table. Dajoa, her brother, who was wise and strong and part of the army. Adora of course. Yllek the astrologer, who predictions have never been wrong, and many others.

Daesyana stood up and lifted her glass. "A strong king, has a strong army. I couldn't be strong without the sacrifice of the people. Their sons and daughter who have died in the name of Laesea, with never be forgotten. The clothes on our backs, the money in our coffers, the peace we relatively enjoy we owe to those ones who sacrifced. I give this toast to them. I like them am willing to died for Lasea if it means you and your children can sleep one more night in peace." Her subjects started to clap and cheer. "Now i have finished my food. I will retire. Goodnight to all." Daesyana bowed slightly. "Goodnight your majesty." everyone said. Dajoa and Adora stood up and followed her.

Daesyana, instead of heading to her room, headed out the palace. She headed towards the infirmary. "How many did we lose?" she asked Dajoa. "56 men, 23 woman, and 178 injured." he replied. Dajoa was taller then Daesyana. He was 6'1, but he had youth in his face. His his hair was long in many braids. "Tell the treasurer to exempt tax for the dead for 1 year and the injured 6 months." Daesy said.

They walked into the building. The smell was strong. But Daesy, Dajoa and Adora was use to the smell of sickness and death. They all grabbed a water jug to quench the thirst of the soldiers. "Your majesty!" a nurse said. "You shouldn't be here." she said. "Nonsense. I will help." Daesy said. She started giving water. She came to one soldier. He was very handsome but he looked like he suffered a stomach wound. "You are too kind your majesty." he said. "The honor is mines. Your bravery adds to mines." Daesyana said. "What's your name?" she asked. He hesitated but a second and said, "Brandon." Daesy wiped his forehead. " Meaning brand of the sword. Also Broom covered hill." Daesy said. He laughed, his brown eyes twinkle. "My father had many swords." Daesyana smiled slightly. "It was nice meeting you Brandon. I will be back tomorrow." Daesy said getting up. "I look forward to it Your majesty." he said.

Daesyana took care of a few more men and retired for the evening. She really liked Brandon. He was very funny and intellegent. Being good-looking didnt hurt either.

Chapter 4: To know my enemy

DeMarcus watched the Queen walk away. She was beautiful. She also had a good heart. Going into battle with the Laeseans disguised was Nitz idea. DeMarcus joined the fight on Cruz hill where the battle was. Dressed in Laesean uniform and he fought with them. He watched the skill and finess that Lasean solders fought. He saw women and even the Queen fight. DeMarcus found out why Laesea and Appolonia seem to never defeat each other. Where Appolonian solders were strong and large, Laeseans made up in finess and quick battle skill. He was so distracted by observing the fighting that he got stabbed in the stomach through the armor by a Shaphelean.

When he woke up he was here in the infirmary, in Laesea. He had to think quickly. He had to play amnesia except for his name. No one was suspicious. He watched how the Laesean's acted. There care for each other and way of life was peaceful, though being a warlike nation. He heard a nurse say, "Peace is meant to be at home. Even if its the only place peaceful you can go." They, the Laesean's lived by that philosophy. It was impressive. The dedication to their Queen was another thing that was impressive. They laid down there life for her. And she seemed to would do the same. As the week went by he started to feel much better. He would have to go back home, but he would miss these people.

Daesyana came to the infirmary again. She fed this time all the soldiers. She also asked them about there children and wives. She even asked some their favorite weapon.

She finally came to him. "How are you feeling today?" she asked. DeMarcus smiled. "Better." he said. "I'm sure your wife and children will miss you." she said. "I don't remember. Only my name." he hated to lie. He watched her pour water into a wooden cup. "I believe we will be going to war again. Appolonia. I can't let them submit us. We are a Sovereign nation. My grandfather worked hard for us to be what we are. I will give my life to make my people save." she said, "I'm sorry. I just have alot on my mind." DeMarcus listened. Given the chance, she would be a good ruler. He stared into her green eyes. Their was a sadness, but determination in them. She smiled and said, "Get some rest." She rose and walked to another soldier.

After midnight DeMarcus got out of his sick bed in the infirmary. He walked through the city to the gates. He used magic to make himself steath, a gift from his mother. He snuck out the city and walked a mile until he saw Nitz. "Everything is just as you left it at home. What did you learn? What took so long?" Nitz asked. "They are an amazing people." DeMarcus said.

Chapter 5: Challege

Sephie walked through the hall of the palace of Appolonia. This should have been hers. Her father was in line for the throne before the Nyte family took the throne. The Masamune Family was in line for the throne before. But after the rebellion the people choose the Nyte famiy. She laughed. DeMarcus had been king for nine years and still haven't picked a wife. He did have a son, but he was illegitamate and not able to be an heir. Maybe if she played her cards right she could abducate the throne. But this wouldnt be easy because women don't rule in Appolonia.
-----------

DeMarcus made it back to Appolonia. He took a nice long bath. Afterwards he looked over reports. His son ran in and hugged him. "Hey. How's my boy?" he asked. His son was still young so he answered in some gibberish but he did say, "Fine!" in all of it. Nitzor came in smiling. "So what are we going to do?" he asked. "Prepare a march on Laesea. Tell there Queen that it is time for war." DeMarcus said. "What about Daesyana? What will you do with her?" Nitz asked. DeMarcus smiled. "I will make her an offer she can't refuse."
-----------------
Daesy noticed that Brandon was gone. She missed his company.

About two weeks later she got a letter.

To Daesyana of Laesea,

Because of your decision and defiance. We will be marching towards your capital of Taeko. We will capture your city and discuss the terms. By the time you get this, we will be halfway there. My the God's have mercy on your soul.
General Harry Nitzor of Appolonia

Daesyana called Dajoa. "Get the army ready. Salvage the rations. We go to war with Appolonia." Adora came inside. "What happened?" she asked. "Its time. Appolonia is coming and we need to be ready. My armor!" she yelled. Daesy walked through the castle to her room. Her maids got her prepared. When she was finished, and turned around, there was her aunt. "Leave." Chiyo said. The maids obeyed. Daesy fixed her armor. "Daesyana how are you going to defeat an army as huge as Appolonia. You are weak. Nothing compare to your grandfather my brother, or your father. Not even your cousin, my son, Michael would hesitate as you do. " Daesy grimaced and said, "Is that all?" she asked. "I'm just saying. I am old. I have some wisdom. Hand the Kingdom over to me. With my powers they will turn away." Chiyo said. Daesy turned and said, "Enough. Though you are my aunt and an Old Lady of Laesea. I still occupy the place of King, even though i use Queen. I am above you. You can leave." Chiyo escorted herself out. Daesy stood there, chin in hand. Dajoa walked in. "Time to go." he said.

Daesy and Dajoa left her rooms and went to the war room. "Your Majesty." all her generals said. Daesy walked over to Adora and put her hand on her shoulder and sighed lowly. "Daesyana, they are a week away. If we muster up our men we will have many by the time they make it here." a General said. "I will not have them trap me in my palace. We will meet him, here," she pointed to the map, "At the Hsing Shun pass. Our Laesea arrows should be a hold point." Adora spoke up, "We know the area better than Appolonia. There are some traps there set there a few years ago for an exercise. Should still work." Everyone nodded.

Everyone departed execpt for Cruentus. "Cruentus? Something on your mind?" Daesy said looking down at the map. "DeMarcus is strong. Will we be able to defeat him?" he asked. Daesy took a deep breath. "The Lady Miho said in her ancient books of wisdom, 'Faith is something that cannot be touched, heard, or even felt. Its a sense of high intellegence that we as humans don't know. Once we achieve it we become more than the other creatures on this planet. I have faith in you. I hope you have faith in me." she said.Cruentus smiled. "I do, Your majesty." he said He put on his helmet and exited the room. "Now.....I need your confidence, in myself as well."
