Yiu
Sister to Tara
I came from the East, an ancient land of mystery and sorrow. My
country was overrun by steppe nomads; my father, the king, and my
beloved sister, Tara, died fighting bravely to defend the capital.
I escaped, not because I feared death, but that the task of
liberating my people from foreign yoke is now on my shoulders. At
times, I would dream of joining Tara in the world of Hades, but I
know I do not have the luxury of that choice. Strangely, I do not
hate the invaders; they did just what they did; it's their nature.
My only goal was to free my people and restore the peace and glory
of our culture, now being suppressed in my native soil.
I was adopted into the Amazon tribe and I learned to use the
double-blade ax. To me, the double blades present a special
meaning: one blade is to fight any injustice and the other a
constant fight against the temptation of pride and hatred inside
me. I am very tired but with all my heart and ability, I will try
my very best to become a worthy Amazon....
