[Narrator] South beyond Valorn... beyond black rivers and storm jungles... the daughters of House Skall ruled with spear and blood. Queens forged by battle. Warriors crowned beneath thunder skies. Skall... Skall... Daughters of the storm... [Garrick] “So who are you really?” [Kyra] “I am Kyra Skallson.” “First daughter of Queen Shaora.” “Princess of House Skall.” “My mother rules the southern jungle kingdoms.” “I command her warbands.” “Ten sisters born beneath the Storm Moon.” “I was chosen first.” [Narrator] Rain rolled across bronze skin and black warpaint. Stormfang Spear rested beside the Amazon princess like a sleeping serpent. [Kyra] “My father was said to be Curupira himself.” “God of beasts.” “God of the hidden jungle paths.” “The animals speak to me.” “And I answer.” Heavy footsteps moved through the jungle darkness. [Groarr roars] [Kyra] “Groarr.” “I found him starving beside dead hunters.” “I raised him beside my sisters.” “He protects me.” “I protect him.” “He is family.” [Kyra] “The slavers came beneath Bloodvine Ridge.” “Seven Amazons on a hunting march.” “Groarr remained behind protecting my mother.” [Narrator] Flooded jungle trails vanished beneath heavy rain. Then arrows exploded from the trees. Black Iron mercenaries. Raiders from Broken Keep. Ten against one. Steel flooded from jungle darkness. Storm Spear... Storm Spear... [Kyra] Talira took an arrow through the throat— Still she buried her spear through two raiders before she fell. Mira split a slaver’s skull with her axe, Even while blood poured from her chest. [Narrator] Kyra charged before fear could spread. Stormfang Spear pierced a bandit captain’s eye. The iron tip burst through the back of his skull. Another raider lunged screaming— Kyra caught him by the throat, Lifted him from the mud, And hurled him into two more attackers. Bones cracked beneath the impact. A crossbowman climbed the ridge above them. Bolt aimed toward wounded Sister Vaela. Kyra ripped a throwing spear free, Turned— And launched it across the jungle rain. The spear tore through the raider’s chest, Shattered his spine, And pinned his corpse against a tree before he could fire. [Garrick] “Gods…” [Narrator] Bandits crashed into the Amazons from every direction. Bronze shields splintered beneath heavy axes. Steel rang through blood and thunder. Kyra leapt across broken stone violently. Stormfang ripped open a mercenary’s throat. Hot blood sprayed across her warpaint. Another slaver raised a mace— Kyra ducked beneath the swing, Drove her dagger upward through his jaw, Then ripped the blade sideways through his skull. One raider lost his arm. Another his face. A third drowned choking on blood beneath the jungle floodwaters. STORM SPEAR! BORN IN BLOOD AND THUNDER! STORM SPEAR! JUNGLE FIRE AND RAIN! [Kyra - Full Fierce Vocal] “FORM THE LINE!” “SHIELDS FORWARD!” “MAKE THEM BLEED FOR EVERY STEP!” [Narrator] The remaining Amazons slammed shields together. Three raiders died against the spear wall instantly. Another fell screaming as Talira dragged him into the mud beside her corpse. Still the slavers came. Even wounded... Even drowning in blood and rain... Kyra fought like a storm given flesh. A mercenary buried steel deep into her side. Kyra roared and drove Stormfang beneath his chin, The spear bursting upward through his skull in a spray of black blood. Eight died beneath her hands. Eight. But numbers swallowed the Amazons slowly. Chains wrapped around bloodied wrists. Broken shields vanished beneath jungle mud. [Kyra] “My sisters were taken east.” “Another prison.” “Another nightmare.” [Narrator] Lightning rolled across Garrick’s scarred face. The mercenary captain watched the Amazon princess silently. [Garrick] “When this war against the Githyanki ends...” “I’ll see you safely home.” [Kyra] “Why?” [Garrick] “Because nobody should lose their kingdom alone.” Storm Spear! Last daughter standing! Storm Spear! The jungle calls your name! Through blood and fire! Through chains and thunder! House Skall still waits beneath the rain! [Narrator] And somewhere beyond the jungle storms... the last princess of House Skall still dreamed of home.
