Description edit
It's not always easy being a female warrior with a nickname like Annwyl the Bloody. Men tend to either cower in fear - a lot - or else salute.

Quotes edit
-
“The first dragons, the elders, were immortal. But a mated pair asked the gods for the gift of children. The gods agreed, but the price would be that they lose their immortality. Our line is descended from them.”
Fearghus -
“And Annwyl. Remember what I told you." "Protect my right side?" "No." "Feint with my left?" "No." "Nice Ass." "No!" His growl of annoyance only elicited a sweet chuckle from his woman. "Watch my rage, heart of my heart?" "Condescending cow.”
Fearghus & Annwyl -
“Really, Fearghus. You need to stop asking me to let you kill our family.”
Morfyd -
“Annwyl tore through her brother's troops. Most of them she beheaded as was her way. She only wasted time with arms and legs when the head wasn't readily available. And she only took those limbs to slow the enemy down long enough so she could take the head. A soldier dived for her. She blocked his blow and brought her other sword down cleaving off half his skull and silencing the man's screams. She turned as another soldier hoped to sneak up on her from behind. She gutted him, which she also liked to do. Especially when her blade released the entrails. She realized with a smile that she truly did earn her name. She was Annwyl the Bloody. And proud of it.”
