Her mother told them they were daughters of a god. But can the children of gods hurt? Can they die and fail like any other mortal? Penthesilea knew her life was different. Growing up on the lush island of the Amazons, she and her sister lived on the cusp of two worlds-the warlike one of men and the soft and mothering one of women.

The castle was in ruin. Not just ruined but someone at some point had breached it causing it to use its own magic and seal the doors. Now all Aurora had to do was repair the monstrous castle, get inside, see what creature still lurked there and make sure the people of the town were safe. "I don't think I have enough super glue to fix this sucker." Trianam looked at her oddly but didn't ask. They were either getting used to her oddities or ignoring them better. She wanted to think it was the latter. "What else did you find? Any waterways?" "Aye. There is one to the south too that looks like it might have fed this one long ago. Trees, small yet fill the path but it looks dry to me." He kicked the dirt at his feet. "'Tis not going to grow much I think." One more thing to add to her list. Aurora Kirkpatrick had fallen into a tapestry. And after several months of thinking she was dead she now came to realize that she was indeed the Champion, the only one that could save the world that was created for the magical people of this world. And try not to murder her king while she was at it. She went to him for help with the broken castle. "The castle is falling down are you aware of that? And I don't have enough glue to put it together again." He smiled at her. "You do not need glue but simply knowing how the pieces fit the whole. You'll figure it out. If you don't then I will make fun of your lack of efforts the next time we meet." Then he disappeared. Yes, she was going to murder the king when she found him.
