In this journey Ephiny come to terms with her sisters death, and finds out things are not always what they seem. Sisters start to turn on each other, and Turmoil ensues. Parts:: 1-4
She's await her breath rugged and her eyes watching as she stay knelt down, She had been there for days. There was no sign of her sisters and yet she stay waiting as if they would come back. They had to come back, but she was only worried about one. Emberella was in trouble again no doubt…Griping her weapon tight, the carved wood making imprints on her hand. The Carving she had done preparing herself for battle, by Carving a protection poem on its fine base. Ephiny was unlike any warrior, she believed in the warriors way. That the warrior could live both lives, Warrior and the peace maker.
The smell of fire was making its way through the lush green jungle, she could smell the wood burning yet she would not move from her perch. Ephiny wouldn’t leave until she knew Emberella was safe. The smoke now visible, making it hard to see. She knew her sisters would find her, They had a bond. ‘Leave this place Ephiny, for its not safe.’ She opened her eyes the smoke was thick and she could now see the flames and a moment ago she thought she hard her sisters voice on the wind. ‘Go, you idiot…’ Ephiny smiled, her sister was alright…
Running as fast as her legs would carry now, the fire a memory. Ephiny wondered how her sister got ahead of her, she would ask her that later. Ephiny knew these woods like a Roman knew Rome, and all she knew was about to go up in smoke. Her sister would be evacuating now, getting ready to make the journey out of there beloved nation. They were already scattered tribes, The amazons were being tossed into the winds and there was nothing anyone could do. “Ephiny we were worried Sister, are you alright?”
“Nothing time won’t heal, where is she?” Persephaney pointed to a near by rock where her little sister sat, constructing a few girls on how to properly sharpen a sword. “Princess Emberella, may I have a word?” She looked up and smile sheepishly, She knew Ephiny was not in the least happy with her. Standing, she followed Ephiny over to a small tree. “Your killing me Ella, you can’t keep doing this.”
“I know, but I couldn’t help myself, the men are so cute.”
“You are no Amazon and if your mother knew what you were up to, it be my head for not watching out.”
“Do not worry Sister, I know what I am doing.” Emberella smiled and placed a hand on Ephiny’s shoulder. “How was the battle, how did the sister’s fair?”
“They did not,” Ephiny’s face was plain, Embrella knew Ephiny wouldn‘t share what happened, she wasn’t one to share feelings. But Emberella was always the one who got her to smiled, “We need to evacuate soon, the fire is close.”
“What happ--”
“Emberella,”
“Ok, ok just asking…”

AN: Just to let you know, the Ephiny I use is not the Ephiny on Xena. That is only for Role playing. The Ephiny I use in my stories now and in the future, are two different people.
Title:: Chico Divaco:: Last of Amazon nation Rating:: Pg-13 Paring:: None Summary:: Chico Divaco, Amazon Village of Ephiny and Emberella. In this journey Ephiny come to terms with her sisters death, and finds out things are not always what they seem. Sisters start to turn on each other, and Turmoil ensues. Parts:: 2-4
The sisters moved quickly, they could smell the burning Trees. As there only home they knew started to burn to the ground, The queen lead the first group of girls through the last part of there home land. Leading right onto the road of there neighboring tribe, Minji. The queen would warn them about the thriving fire, making sure they would get a fighting chance against the flames. Ephiny’s job would be to lead the rest of the Warrior’s to the caves. The fire would come and they would have to make sure everyone was safe.
After the Women were safely in the cave, Ephiny and a few other warriors would warn the close by tribes. They too had to worry. Ephiny regretted telling some of the tribes, the had views that the Chico Divaco’s did not agree on. Ephiny would have to be civil, something she wasn’t good at. The Queen had sent along not only Ephiny but her friend Persephaney, she would keep the peace.
“Come on girls lets keep moving…” Ephiny moved them along, the smell of the fire was long gone. It would soon catch up, there was no sign of rain. Ephiny was more worried about her own sisters, sometimes Ephiny could be a little selfish.
“Were not Roman soldiers Ephiny, we have some time before the fire comes.”
“Do you want to take that chance?” in a way Ephiny was right, so the girls pushed on.
Down the Road no more than a few yard, The Amazon’s of the mazurka tribe lay in wait for any enemy near by. Friends of the Chico Divaco’s and Minji they were happy to see there friends, looking for the aid of any warriors in the battle of Neighboring enemies. “Welcome my Friends, come enjoy some drink and food. You have Ventured Far from your homes.”
“I’m afraid there is no time for Pleasants conversation, There is a fire sweeping over our sister lands. I am afraid it will not stop, if were lucky we can escape and our neighboring enemies will get the brunt of it.”
“Ephiny…”
“Alas our Queen thought it be wise, to warn the fowl women. Maybe earn some trust.”
“Your Queen’s are wise women, and I am not one to appose such powerful figures. Take some of my women and Warn the enemies ahead, take Caution.” Ephiny nodded and shook the queen’s hand, before moving on with a few selected warriors. They were about to Enter into Enemy Territory and this was something Ephiny didn’t like, These warrior women were unlike her own. They were many stories told to her by older Amazon women, the very few who had made it to Elderly age. And Believe me Forty and older meant you have lived a long full life.
“Be aware Girls, Were about to enter into there land…”

these are quite good.... ironically though, if I hadnt watched Xena....some of the things I probably woundlt have been able to visualizeas I normally would have...I know it isn't about Xena and The amazons on the show...but becuase of the show, it it does visualize smoothly...I do like the fact that you are making it true to the amazon mythology though...of sisterhood and the empowerment of women....I look foward to what becomes of them in the open lands....

Title:: Chico Divaco:: Last of Amazon nation Rating:: Pg-13 Paring:: None Summary:: Chico Divaco, Amazon Village of Ephiny and Emberella. In this journey Ephiny come to terms with her sisters death, and finds out things are not always what they seem. Sisters start to turn on each other, and Turmoil ensues. Parts:: 3-4
Ephiny was not liking the look of this place, the forest seemed thicker here. As if it was easier to hide from predators as if you where the Horde, That was how the Enemy worked here, as if they were spawned from there loins. They spoke perfectly you could understand them, Yet the idea of being in there territory for anything other than war. Well it was uncalled for, the mazurka tribe got most of the Brunt of it all. Raiding parties and it always turned out Disastrous. “Girls…” Ephiny looked at one of the Mazurka tribe women, and they shook there head yes.
“There close Eph, I mean skin crawling close…”
Ephiny Kept her weapon close by her side, but not at a fighting stance. So if they decided to attack she could take it out at the last moment. Ephiny knew they were close, letting themselves being known with a few snapping Branches and Falling leaves. “We came to warn your people, A fire is spreading through the lands. We need to speak with your queen.”
The waiting seemed to take forever, the silence was now was deafening. Gut wrenching fear in some of the girls was obvious, but Ephiny wasn’t going to back down Either was Persephaney. “Ephiny if there here, where are they?”
“There here, just biding there time hoping to scare us.”
“Well its working.” one of the girls spoke softly.
“We were being nice, decided to tell an enemy about a raging fire. We could have let you burn…” Than as it was raining, and Swarm of Arrows Came flying down inches away from Ephiny’s feet. She didn’t even jump she just smiled. “So I see I did get your attention after all…” Fifteen warrior came from the Brush and Two more came from either side above the Trees down on Vines.
“Your Queens are Kind as to send you to our door Step, how did they know we wouldn’t kill you?” The leader of the Amazon Party was none other than Ephiny old friend Git’ura. She had been kicked out of the Chico Divaco for trying to over throw the Queen. When she lost the Fight she didn’t take it well and attacked the Queen her in own Tent. Ephiny was one of the ones to send her out of the Forrest.
“They didn’t.” Ephiny didn’t hate her friend, she was sad when Git’ura was kicked out. But she knew it was for the best, she was a danger to all the other Amazon’s in the nation. “They knew you had to be told and we took the risk, after all we are Amazon sisters.” Git’ura seemed to scoff at the thought, Ephiny stayed Emotionless.
“Come now Ephiny, your sisters couldn’t careless about my well being. You made that clear when you kicked me out of the Chico Divaco clan. Your Queen is weak, and when our Queen gets what she wants nothing will stop her from take you out. And it will be my pleasure to take you out in the Process, but the Queen has extended her thank you for the warning. That today will be the only day she will let you and your people go. Leave Ephiny Valentino, leave and never return.” The girls nodded and exited, Ephiny and Persephaney stay for a few moments.
“Were sorry for what happened to you Git’ura…” and they were gone.
On the way back to through the Forest that would soon be engulfed in flames, Ephiny could have sworn that someone was following them through the Lush green forest. She could smell Burnt Flesh, no musk of some kind? A man, she couldn’t believe her dumb luck. That was the last thing her and her sisters needed right now, was a Filthy man on there trail. Some of the Amazon women in her tribe liked the men, Emberella was one of them. “Girls we have a…”
“We know.” Some of the girls said in Unison, Ephiny smiled and walked closer to the Brush Grabbing at the Culprit pulling him to the ground.
“A roman how nice for us, what do you want?” The man seemed shaken and he looked as if the fire had caught up with him. Ephiny didn’t have time for things like this, so she took Persephaney’s sword and place it against his throat. “Speak.”
“Trapped in fire, was going for help…”
“Well we not it, you’ve been following us for a while now. Tell us the Truth or I swear by every god you worship I will kill you where you lay.” The roman seemed to be scared, fifteen warrior women who could kill him within an instant wasn’t something he planned on at all.
“The roman’s set the place on fire, each side of the Amazon Territory. Caesar swore that if he couldn’t get you out, he make sure you didn’t have a home to go back to.” Ephiny felt her temper Flare, she was ready to take this man’s Head off. Persephaney took her sword back before Ephiny could cause real damage. “They got caught in the back draft of it, the whole battalion besides me and a few other men were wounded. We got separated in the forest.”
“There probably dead, if you were coming from that side…” Ephiny nodded, letting the man up.
“You get out of here, and if you ever come back here I swear I will finish you.” The man was off like a shot, and Ephiny knew she and her sister would have to get out of there. They all had to be warned. “Each of you go to your People Hide away, tell them what you just heard. We have to get out of here, and now…!”
