| Prologue: After her
savage beating and defeat by Lharna, Scythia spent several months
healing alone in a dark room below the arena. When she had finally
healed, she was then put to the heavy labor of solely cutting logs for
firewood for the city. For the next 5 yrs., she labored alone. In that
time, she had not only regained her huge muscles, she had actually
increased her massive strength. She also had a rebirth of her soul,
realizing that her past deeds had been cruel and that she must do good
for the rest of her times. After the 5th year had passed, Scythia was
called before the city council. Scythia begged for mercy, citing she was
changed, but the council gave none. They ordered her to be banished from
the city, taking with her the last memory of the cruel times in the
arena. Scythia was devastated, but if she refused she would be put to
death. Thus she left, taking only her red robe, thus going naked into
the new lands outside the city. She headed in the direction of the
setting sun looking for a new land to call her home. In those next few
months, Scythia did find a new hope. On several occasions, she had come
across people being victimized by bandits whom she had defeated with her
bare hands and nothing else. She had too used her great strength to aid
others. Some had offered her rewards, others a new home, but she kept
wandering west. Finally she came upon the coast and found passage on a
merchant ship that it too was going west. During the voyage, she had
amazed the crew with her great strength and naked muscles by doing tasks
it usually took several males to do. Then came the day of the pirate
attack where her fighting skills showed themselves. She alone defeated
12 of the pirates, then boarded their ship, ripped down their main mast
and then set fire to the ship, letting it drift off a derelict. The
captain of the merchant ship then broke tradition by making her a full
member of the crew, thus becoming the first woman shipmate. The voyage
then went calmly to the night of the storm when as she was aiding her
crewmates, a great wave crashed on top of the ship, washing Scythia
overboard. The other crewmembers could do nothing to help as the shipped
floundered. Scythia fought the waters with all her strength, but she
finally succumbed and was tossed about like a leaf in the wind. Finally
came the morning and the calm and Scythia found herself just offshore an
island. With what little strength she had left, she made it to the shore
where she collapsed, exhausted but saved.
